INGRID BERGMAN’S su-
-t perb performance in “For
Whom the Bell Tolls” is one
of those things that people re-
member for years. It’s the
more notable because in that
opus she was up against real-
ly tough competition. Katina
Paxinou, the talented Greek actress
who plays “Pilar,” can dominate
any scene without half trying, and
the list of male actors reads like an
all-star cast. Incidentally, after 100
performances the picture was still
selling out at all performances in
Miss Lou Anick has accepted .a
position in the office of the
sheriff and tax assessor. She is
the sister of Mrs. Roy Hollings-
worth. .
It’s no wonder that producers get
jittery. Michael O’Shea was riding
a motor scooter, crashed into a stage
wall—and landed’in a hospital, with
severe bruises, to put it mildly. That
held up shooting oh United Artists’
“Jack London,” as he was to ap-
pear in every remaining scene.
Joseph Cotten, narrator and act-
ing star of "America—Ceiling Un-
limited,” and greatly in demand in
Hollywood, is billed as the Great
Joseph, “The Wizard of the South,”
in Orson Welles’ Mercury Wonder
show; it’s done nightly’under can-
vas, in Hollywood, for the edifica-
tion of service men; they’re enter-
tained — and highly — by feats of
magic, and all for nothing!
Washington, D. C.
ALLIED CO-OPERATION BETTER
Officials who have attended all the
big strategy powwows—Washington,
Casablanca, Washington again, and
Quebec—declare that there is pro-
gressively better Allied co-operation,
and a gradual disappearance of the
friction which beset earlier confer-
ences.
In the dark days just after Pearl
Harbor, the British were plugging
for an all-out war against Hitler,
while the U. S. officers, outraged
, over Pearl Harbor, were out to scalp
the Japs.
The decision to swing our weight
with the British was made only aft-
er President Roosevelt had exer-
cised his authority as commander-
in-chief and overruled ambitious
U. S. plans for the Pacific.
After that decision, there came
disagreement about where to strike
in the European theater. U. S. army
staff officers argued in favor of a
cross-channel operation, but Chur-
chill and the British staff shrank
from spilling blood against the steel-
and-concrete shoreline of France
and the Low Countries.
Instead, Churchill wanted the U. S.
army sent to North Africa, to aid in
the reconquest of the Mediterrane-
an. Again, Roosevelt supported
Churchill against his own military
chiefs, but not until after strong de-
bate in the inner councils.
Another issue was the question of
aid to Russia and Britain, which
U. S. army and navy officers wanted
to cut down from the Roosevelt-Hop-
kins-Churchill estimates. The Rus-
sian cause was upheld against all
comers by Harry Hopkins, and Maj.
Gen. James H. Burns, executive of j
the munitions assignment board.
Burns’ favorite remark is, “Those
Russians are killing more Germans -
than anybody else, and they ought
to have the equipment to keep up
the good work.”
The major decisions that have
come from all the controversies
have now borne favorable fruit. The
Mediterranean is cleared, U. S.
forces have been tested under fire,
landing operations have had full
dress rehearsals for the bigger job
of crossing the channel, and the
Russians are “keeping up the good
work.”
So when the British and Ameri-
cans get together now, there is much
more warmth than at one time.
There still are some friendly differ-
ences as there must be when strong
men sit down together, arid it is re-
ported that U. S. military leaders
still chafe at lack of action across
the channel. But on the whole, suc-
cess is making the road e.asier.

Back in the 1920s Gertrude Law-
rence made a guest appearance on
a radio variety show for which the,
sponsors paid her 20 pounds a min-
ute—about $100 American money. It
established a financial record. When
she returns to the air with her new
show, September 30, on the Blue
Network, she’ll get so much more

secret—it will establish another rec-

MILK SHORTAGE
Most serious food problem facing
the civilian population at the mo-
ment is the threatened shortage of
milk.
White House farm advisers warn
that we will have a very real and
acute milk famine on our hands un-
less the War Food administration
and the Office of Price Administra-
tion act quickly to adjust the price
of feed grain for dairy cattle.
Due to higher feed costs, dairy
farmers, especially in the East, are
unable to sell their milk under OPA
price ceilings and stay in business.
Dairy farmers in Pennsylvania and
other Eastern states, hard hit by the
drouth, have been losing as much as
$35 per cow because of lack of pas-
ture. As winter draws on, the pas-
ture problem, plus higher feed costs,
will vitally affect milk production all
over the country.
So far the War Food administra-
tion, under its new chief, Marvin
Jones, has done nothing to meet
this pressing problem. But unless
he does the President will be urged
to take matters- in his own hands
and arrange for feed price subsi-
dies through legislative action. Fail-
ing that, he can, by an executive ■
order, provide feed funds from the
Commodity Credit corporation.
