A violently worded anti-Semetic manifesto was issued by eleven former cabinet min isters of Rumania advocating the in troduction of racial correction meas ures in all forms of Rumanian activ ity. 'J he manifesto came in the wake of a clash between Jewish students and ultra - nat ionalist undergradu ates of the university who raided a Jewish ball, smashed windows and roughly handled the dancers. The protection measures advocated would include all trade and industry, gov ernment offices and the free profes sions. The clash climaxed a scries of anti-Semctic outbursts thruout Rumania. The measures proposed in the former ministers' manifesto were cimilar to the Aryan theme of the nasi constitution in Germany and were intended drastically to restrict the employment of Jews and ether racial minorities of Rumanian citi zenship. The ultra-nationalist movement, despite the disapproval cf the nation alist peacant party, is fast gaining ground in Rumania. ORDERS LIQUOR BETUR2JED Omaha.

Judge Wheeler declared all law making power flows from the will of the people, and if a law runs counter to this will, the courts are justified in ignoring it. His ruling followed one Saturday in which he held the liquor law cf Nebraska was still a law, as it had not been repealed by the legislature. Tho judge reconciled these deci sions by stating he believed it neces sary to maintain some variety of li quor lav.-, so that in cases where criminal intent" was evident such as sale to minors the offenders could not escaped unpunished. The people, he observed, never contem plated entire eliminalioo nf liquor control. HIGH SALARIES REPORTED Washington.

Dr. Royal Scrcnson, of the Califor nia Institute cf Technology, predicts that, some day, motion picture film may bo used to store vast amounts cf energy. "This energy will be recorded on film juct as sound is recorded now," declares the scientist. "The amount cf energy will depend upen the amount of light striking the film's .negative. "In appearance, the developed film will elcsely resemble a cardograph, with millions of minutely shaded liriea, too fine to be determined by the naked eye. These minute lines will be energy, and they will be re corded at a central laboratory and shipped to small towns and com munities throughout the world." According to the doctor, the energy will then be projected on patients suffering from Illness just as motion pictures are projected on the screen today. Eringing benefits to thousands cf non and women who might not otherwise be in a position to receive electro-therapeutical treatment. Dr. Sorcnson is advising movie makers at R-K-O about scientific points in the production of Sir Rider Haggard's novel, "She." The story printed here that James Cagr.ey lends an attentive eye to the written wishes of his fans has borne i unusual fruit. Recently the actor re ceived a bulky petition signed by 478 citizens of San Francisco. They urjje him to appear in more mu3ical3 like "The Footlight Parade." Thi3 isn't at all displeasing to Cagr.ey, for he has been taking voice lessons, and is musically inclined. Maybe this costume will fill a need in many feminine wardrobes. Jean Crawford has designed a "formal theater suit" for use, as she says, "on occasions when a decollete gown Is not essential but when more formality than offered bp street clothes is required." The costume is cf black chiffon velvet, i3 severe and form fitting, is adorned at the shoulders with twin silver fox furs, and is accompanied by black slces, gloves and an off-the-face hat.
