AUSTIN. June 27—Temporary au

operate without the state permit re
quired by the common carrier law
which went into effect June 13, will
expire July 13. and no indication
has been given by the railroad com
i, mission that it will be extended.
Mark Marshall, motortous director,
under whose division the motor
I truck lines were placed, said the
commission has fixed no final date
e after which truck lines will be for
bidden to operate without holding
the certificate of convenience and
necessity required by the new law.
All motor freight lines now op
erating are required to secure the
l‘ permits and certificates “at the
earliest possible time.” Mr. Marshall
said. The one-month order was is
sued to give the operating lines time
to secure permits without inter
ruption of service. All operators of
lines were required to immediately
make bond aggregating $23,500, cov
ering every phase of operation, in
cluding indemnity for losses or dam
age to property transported.
Approximately 2400 “Class A" line*

mount's newest all-talking thriller,
"The Studio Murder Mystery.” This
excit ing melodrama, centering
around the hunt for a double-killer

Paramount's ‘success with the re

WASHINGTON EAGERLY AWAITS MACDONALD VISIT
Sir Esmr Howard (inset) and Lady Isabella Howard (right) probably will be hosts to Prime Minister Ram
say MacDonald ibelow) of Eng^nd if the latter makes his American visit. It is regarded as likely that
Mr. MacDonald will stay at a pretentious country estate (above) in nearby Maryland which the ambas
fadcr has leased for the summer. The drawing roo.-n (below, left) mirrors the magnificence of the place.
WASHINGTON. June 27.—UP\—
The proposed visit to America of
Ramsay MacDonald. British prime
minister, is causing a pleasant flurry
over the usually glassy surface of
Washington's social sea.
Everyone is very circumspect
about predicting just what will or
might happen in the way of formal
entertaining, an integral part of any
official visit, and there is little
precedent of recent years to serve
as a criterion.
The projected visit, however, an
event of unparalleled importance to
official, diplomatic and social Wash
ington. is a* tea table topic of un
iagging interest in the smart homes
arcuna Dupont circle and out Mass
achusetts avenue and Sixteenth
street.
Sir Esmc Howard. British ambas
sador to the United States, who.1
wtih Lady Isabella Howard, prob
ably will be the Maciiona-d host.
hc.5 leased for the summer a pre
tentious and beautiful country es
tate in Pripce Georges county.
Maryland, eight miles from Wash
ington.
Mr. MacDonald may stay there,
or he may make his home at the
British embassy in Connecticut ave
nue. If his daughter Ishbel accom
panies him It is regarded as likely
that the country estate—Langley
Park—will be their residence. The
belief also has been expressed that
President Hoover may have them as
White Housj guests.
Langley Park, owned by McCor
mick Goodhart. is famous m V7asn
ington society and diplomatic cir
cle for Its spacious gardens. The
house, furnished on a grand scale.
contains 30 rooms, and there are
500 acres of grounds.
The only recent event of com
parable scope was the visit two
years ago of Premier Mackenzie
King of Canada, but his trip lacked
the important official aspects of the
projected MacDonald visit.
President Hoover, who undoubt
edly will be a luncheon host to the
prime minister, was a guest with
Mr. King at the White House
luncheon for the former. Otner
guests were the secretaries of state
and war; William R. Castle, the
assistant secretary of state; Col.
Blanton Winship. White House mili
tary aide, and Capt. Wilson Brown
White House naval aide.
There was tea virtually every
afternoon for Mr. King.
As a rule there is only one social
affair given by a private citizen for
a visitor of Mr. MacDonald’s im
portance. There is not even any
speculation as to the Washington
hostess who might get the honor on
this occasion. Much, of course, will
defend on Mr. MacDonald’s wishes.
When Premier King was here he
had luncheon one day with Senator
Gerry of Rhode Island, who is a
personal friend. Included In the
gue to at dinners given by the sec
retary of state and the Erltlsh am
bassador at that time were several
senators and their wives as well as
prominent Washington people.
