Death today snapped the fairy story career of 37-year-old Irving Thalber-r. "boy genius" of motion pictures, who rose from a $35 a-weck stenographer to one of the half dozen biggest men in show business. The boyish-looKing producer and vice president of Metro-Gold wyn-Mayer, husband of one of the screen's most beautiful wo men- - Norma Shearer? died at Ins home in Santa Monica from Lobar pneumonia. Thalbcrg caught a head cold while vacationing in the northern resort town. He returned to his Santa Monica home, where the cold developed into pneumonia. Last night his illness became acute. Oxygen tents were rushed to the seashore home and shortly after midnight he sank into a co ma. Miss Shearer and his mother and father. Mr. and Mrs. William Thalbcrg. were at his bedside. J In spdc of his youth. Thalberg had been associated with motion pictures for nearly 20 years. He talked himself into a job with Carl Laemmle. former chief of Universal productions, after a cas I ual social meeting at the home of Thalberg's grandmother in Edge mere. Ijong Island. When the frail young steno grapher was only 19. Laemmle whisked off to Europe on a vaca tion. leaving Thalberg in charge i of his California studio. In a short span of years, the "boy wonder" of the film busi ness had rattled off a series of successful films climaxed by one of the greatest of the early "sup er-colossals" ?"The Hunchback I of Notre Dame." in which the late Lon Chancy starred as the mis shapened gnome. | Thalberg's habit of jotting notes 011 a shirt-cuff led to his) I romance with Miss Shearer.

Capt. M. P. Hite has drawn a map for The Daily Independent that will make a lot of this bridge talk comprehensible. Existing highway indicated on this map by black bridges and proposed bridges arc bands. 1. The location for the propos ed over Albemarle Sound, select ed by state highway engineers and contract for which, we are told, will be let in 90 days. I 2.

Pope Pius XI today warn ed the world that the spread of Bolshevism in all countries threatens the very foundations of :ivilization. In a passionate address to ref ugee churchmen from Spain the aged, worried pontiff gave his of ficial blessing to a militant cru sade against communism and hdd out the Catholic church and the Catholic religion "as the one real obstacle in the way of those forces which have given a sample and a measure of themselves in subver sive attacks on every k-ind of or der from Russia to China, from Mexico to South America." The address, one of the most important the Pope has ever ut tereck was radiocast to the world. Wearing white robes, a white skull cap and pectoral cross the pope addressed 350 bishops, priests and other religious and lay faithful exiled from Spain, say ing: "Beloved sons exiled from Spain, a Spain so dear to us and now so desolate that it fills our heart with an utterly inexpressi ble tumult of afflicting and con flicting feelings and emotions, your presence here would make us weep for the bitterness which afflicts our hearts." When the pontiff first appear ed the Spaniards cheered and the pope, surrounded by members of the papal household, waved to them. "Beloved sons," the pope said, "the doings which your presence brings so vividly to mind are something more than a mere suc cession, however impressive, of devastations and disasters. They arc likewise a school in which the most serious lessons are beina taught to Europe and the whole world?to a world now at least wholly steeped in, and snared and threatened by, subversive propa ganda and more especially to a Europe battered and shaken to its very foundations." His hands trembled when he read certain passages, especialiy dealing with communist propa ganda. His breathing was heavy, especially when he referred to the courage of the Spanish clergy. "These tragic happenings in Spain speak to Europe and the whole world and proclaim once more to what extent the very foundations of all order, of all culture and of all civilization, are being menaced," the pope said. "This menace, it must be added, is all the more serious, more persis tent and more active by reason of profound ignorance and a dis claiming of the truth by reason of the truly Satanic hatred against God and against humanity re deemed by him in all that con cerns religion and the Catholic church. "What can the Catholic church do but deplore and protest and be seech whenever and wherever con tradictions and hindrances are ta ken at every step to the youth, to the family, to the people? The pontiff was emphatic in declaring that wherever war is be ing made on religion and the Ca tholic church it is in alliance with the forces of subversion? and for the same disastrous purpose. Possibly speaking of Germany the pope referred to "a press that 'Continued on Page Five) SUSPECT INSURANCE KILLER IS ARRESTED Kansas City.

(Continued on Page Eight) The President Is To Confer ()n Insurance Wa 'hington, Sept. 14. ? (U.R) ? A surprise announcement that Presi dent Roosevelt will confer tomor row with a group of insurance ex ecutives led to speculation tonight over the campaign significance of a |J-. epublican charge that "no life in_ surance policy, no savings bank is safe" under the New Deal. The white house announcement was devoid of details as to the per sonnel of the conferees or tpe sub ject to be discussed. '' The charge originally was made by Frank Knox, Republican vice presidential nominee, in a speech at Allentown, Pa., last week. Re publican National Chairman John D. M. Hamilton was asked whether he subscribed to this view. He said he did. Knox' charge drew a counter at tack from Democrats. The Pennsyl vania secretary of banking threat ened tIre G. O. P candidate with prosecution und*r a state law pro hibiting false statements regarding bulks and insurance companies. Demands were made that Knox present proof. Knox, however, made uo further statement and Gov. Alf M. Landon so far lias taken no part in the controversy. Former President Hoover and Al fred E. Smith, both of whom hap pened to be attending a meeting in New York of the life insurance com pany in which they are directors, declined to comment on the de velopment. A canvass of insurance compan ies in Hartford, Conn., national in. urance capital, failed to reveal any executive who had an invitation to the conference or knew anything about it.
