McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1941 WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NTEW YORK.—In his book, “Man the Unknown,“ published in 1935, Dr. Alexis Carrel revealed profound misgivings as to whether ^ „ any existing Dr. Carrel Charts patterns of Human Behavior political or^ An.idNaziMi.ery i^ouM meet the requirements of a stable and humane civilization He urged collective and concentrated scientif ic inquiry into the nature of the “whole man,” and possibly * of the organic quality of human society. The particularized knowledge of physiology and medicine he found inadequate to supply this under standing. When he went to France recently he found a clinic and laboratory for his continued studies with the “whole man” caught in totalitarian misery, and in a wide context of spiritual and emotional stress—a zone of social pathology no doubt revealing to Dr. Carrel’s deeply searching and penetrating eye. Just why the Nazi overlords of France should want to keep him there, as reported in dis patches, is a mystery. There is no evidence that the Nazis ad mire him. He has been no apol ogist for their flagrantly unsci entific dnd inhumane doings, and if they expect to commandeer %is profound knowledge of nutri tion, medicine and surgery, it is difficult to understand how they may expect co-operation. Dr. Carrel, a keen, compact, round-headed little Frenchman, will be 68 years old next month. The world knows of his 34 years with the Rockefeller Institute for Med ical Research, the marvels he has wrought, including his 29-year-old living chicken heart, his distin guished contributions to medical science during the World war, and his fashioning of the mechanical heart with the co-operation of Charles A. Lindbergh. In the last few years he has been preoccupied with the range of hu man behavior lying outside and be yond medical knowledge. He visions some kind of government by a scientific elite. On August 14, 1939, just before the guns blazed, he said that civilized men must “pool their brains,” or come to ultimate failure and then added: “Our Amer ica, with its democratic ideal, is based on ideologies of the Eight eenth century. If we used scientific concepts instead of ideologies, we might discover a new way of life.” jLI ARRY WINSTON started sub- * dividing real estate, but now sub-divides diamonds and finds it more profitable.

It took them a month amf seven days to make this small, but lucrative beginning, working on the third largest diamond in the world. It will take 15 months to finish the cut ting, with a phosphorous-bronze blade .0035 of an inch in thick ness. British Captives of Nazis in Africa This picture, taken somewhere in Africa, shows a group of British soldiers fresh from the fighting lines of the see-saw battle of the dark continent. They are shown in the prison camp to which they were re moved after their capture by the successful Nazi and Italian forces. Ford Workers Vote on Unionization Using secret ballots, more than 83,000 workers of the Ford Motor company in the Detroit area voted overwhelmingly in favor of the U. A. W.- C. I. O. to do their collective bargaining with Ford for them. Photo shows workers at the Ford River Rouge plant being checked in by Police Cap tain Don Leonard as the balloting began. Christening Navy’s Biggest Bomber Reared in Los Angeles, Mr. Winstbn learned the jewelry busi ness with his father. Returning to New York, after a stretch in the AEF in the World war, he decided the war and its aftermath would imperil all values except those of durable old Mother Earth her self. Land—that was the thing, in days of threatened inflation and social maladjustment. So he went into the real estate business in New York. The more he worked at it, the more safe, sound and conservative seemed the glitter of a diamond—even if traditionally baleful. He opened a wholesale jewelry business in New York and soon was gathering in some of the biggest and showiest diamonds in the world. He paid $900,000 for the Jonkers diamond of 425 carats and $700,000 for the Vargas stone. r\R.

G RETA GARBO has not only acquired a new hair-do for her next appearance oh the screen—she’s to have a new tint as well. It’s a special one con cocted for her by Sydney Guil- aroff, Metro hairdresser, and he has named it ‘‘Moonlight Blonde.” As for the hair-do, it’s Napoleonic —a fringe, with a soft point in the back, and “a studied shagginess ' characterizing the whole coiffure, complete even to forelock”; there’s also the influence of the Botticelli paintings, shown in a cap of short curls.

Tim Holt, young star of RKO Westerns, and his father, Jack Holt, will be seen togeth er with Victor Mc- Laglen and Ed mund Lowe in the RKO production, “The Marines Are Ready.” They’ll ap pear as father and son for the second time on the screen. The first time was 12 years ago, when Tim, a boy of 10, played the son in his father’s star ring vehicle, “Vanishing Pioneers.” Tim is also a skilled polo player. *-*— Between the scenes in the house boat dining salon that you’ll see in Paramount’s “Nothing But the Truth,” Bob Hope, Edward Arnold, Leif Erikson and Glenn Anders were amusing themselves by filling the crystal goblets to different levels with water, then playing chimes on them with silver spoons. The prop man nearly had a fit—seems the glasses were part of a dinner serv ice worth more than $2,000. “Send over to my house for some thing less expensive,” urged Hope. “Our goblets are cottage-cheese glasses 1” Years ago Ruby Keeler was fa mous on Broadway for her dancing, in the days before she married A1 Jol- son. On the screen she danced along with other people; now she’ll dance alone for the first time in pictures in a musical, “Sweet heart of the Cam pus,” in which she shares top honors with Harriet Hil liard, Gordon Oli ver, and Ozzie Nel son and his orchestra. Miss Keeler was a star at the Texas Guinan night club when a lad named George Raft used to stop the show with a skating Charleston. \t/ /*'x Charles Boyer finished his work in Paramount’s “Hold Back the Dawn” and took a train for the East; after a week’s vacation he planned to g« to Montreal, where he will do a se ries of plays in French, proceeds going to British war relief funds.

Hope is the main spring of patriotism. — David Lloyd George. tfMOD BRUISES.BURNS.SKEETER BITiS,RUB \PEMETRO Knowledge Elevates Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another.—Addison.

Larry Parks, young Group Thea ter actor, played the Robert Mont gomery part in tests with other ac tors seeking the starring role in “Heaven Can Wait”; as a result he’ll have a featured part in the forthcoming Paul Kelly-Lola Lane “Mystery Ship.” If you’ve seen “The Lady Eve” you’ll remember those slapstick falls of Henry Fonda’s long after you forgot the plot of the picture. Preston Sturges, who wrote and di rected the picture, is also responsi ble for “Sullivan’s Travels”—and h* started right off by dropping JoeH McCrea from a rope’s end into a barrel of water. Furthermore, Mc Crea had to wear a tramp’s rags and a five-day beard. Veronica Lake is McCrea’s co-star in this newest of the Sturges comedies. They say it will be as funny as “The Lady Eve.” i Marlene Dietrich has selected the five men who, she says, have the most “womanpower”—she doesn’t say what she means by that, accept that it’s the opposite of “manpow- I er.” Anyway, here’s the list—Clark Gable, Orson Welles, Ernest Hem- < ingway, Erich Maria Remarque and Howard Hughes.
