Phoney Functionary No California village considers it self duly dignified, unless it has a celebrity for honorary mayor. The local chamber of commerce "elects" a mayor from among the movie and radio stars living in the town. Bob Burns is mayor of Canoga Park (it's a e that he f allg the council to order blow5n? his bazooka), Gene Au- try is mayor of North Hollywood, Andy Devine is mayor of Van Nuys and Smilev Burnette holds the iob in !c;tU(jj0 Qy The Encino chamber of commerce doesn't believe in letting Encino celebs play at the job, it seems, for they really elected Fibber McGee to the presidency of the Encino cham ber of commerce. So what does Mc Gee do but "accidentally" get elect ed to preside over the Fistful Vista c. of c, too. Your reporter is considering the election of an honorary mayor of Plattsmouth-in-Burbank. Now don't anybody send nominations for Ann Sheridan, we've already thought of that.

TODAY'S PROFILE By UNITED PEESS Richard Walther Darre, German .minister of agriculture, is a broad- ! shouldered ruddy-faced man. and a recognized authority in his field. - vhen he first took over his nresent cabinet post he was an advocate of radical agricultural policy which in cluded dividing big estates, especially in the eastern provinces of Germany. However, Darre did not put his policy into execution, for in 1935 when Adolf Hitler began his drive against radicalism the agricultural minister fell into line with the state ment that he would not divide or break up big estates. As a youth Darre was a student of agriculture but when the World war began he volunteered for the army and in a short time he was made an officer in the reserves. When the war ended he served the government as an agricultural ad viser. He held this post for almost 10 years. Then in 1929, Darre was sent to Riga as a legation represen tative of the German ministry of agriculture. Soon after taking this assignment Darre joined the Nazi party and rapidly rose as leader of the Nazi farmers' organization. He also served as chief editor of the party's farm or gan, and during this period he wrote several books on agricultural re organization. Darre's thesis in these writings was that a population shift from urban to rural areas was neces sary. Darre's name was prominent in the news during the first week in December. At that time the German foreign office denied statements that had been attributed to him nearly a year ago. This denial said the "re port of this alleged speech is a tissue of crude, stupid lies, as is proved by the fact that Herr Darre neither this nor last year made such a speech." (The topic in question con cerned a report that Darre, In a speech to high Nazi officers last May, .outlined a plan of forced labor in 'conquered territories.) Darre was born in Belgrano, Ar gentine, 43 years ago. In appear ance, however, he seems younger, with round, clean-shaven face and dark brown hair combed back from a high forehead. OIL PRODUCTION DOWN OMAHA, Jan. 1 (UP) Crude oil production in Nebraska decreased 150 barrels last week, the American petroleum institute reported today.

Later in the morning the office of the sheriff here was notified that the car had been recovered at Hastings The car had been abandoned at Hast ings and was discovered by members of the police of that place.
