i THE NEWBERRY SUN. *^WBERRY. S. C. Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features. —WNU Release. XJEW YORK.—When young Peter 1 ^ of Jugoslavia was hurried out of an English school after the as sassination of Alexander nine years Young Peter Would told he had Not ‘Aa Soon Be a steady job Beggar aa King' and „ he is royally re sentful at Partisan Chief Tito for making himself head of a home gov ernment, even a temporary govern ment. Tito boosts himself the more easily because young Peter quit Jugoslavia when the Germans crowded in. Rather he was urged out, an 18-year-old boy, by his generals. They had turned on Prince Paul, Nazi-loving re gent, and made Peter king at a midnight crowning, but they felt themselves and the king too weak to buck Hitler. Peter is 20 now, bony and a bit bow-legged as riding breeches made plain when he visited the United States last year. He is a long faced, long-necked homely kid, not too prepossessing, but reportedly in dead earnest. When he took the midnight crown he quit breaking speed limits and general fooling around. These days he is in Cairo, a nice jumping-off place for a fast trip home when that seems sen sible. He could eas’ly take a wife with him, at least a fiancee. She would be pretty Princess Al exandra of Greece. They finally reported their engagement this summer after a set-to with Pe ter’s advisers. Those cautious graybeards doubted the good taste of announcing the happy event while Peter’s subjects were so unhappy. 'T'HE last time a Yankee migrated into British parts and tried to make everybody happy he killed off all the knights of the Round Table He Would Build own^oose 9-Point Utopia in cooked by Poatwar Canada Merlin With out Mark Twain he might have done even worse. It was a job to discourage all Yankees, but here comes a Down-easter with a program for making another batch of Britons "the happiest people on God’s green earth.” The program is C. D. Howe’s, Canada’s wartime munitions minister, and before that the world’s biggest builder of grain elevators, and before that a Do minion cabinet minister, M. P. and professor, but before that a good steady No. 2 on the crew of the Waltham, Mass., high school. After high school and Massachu setts Tech, Howe got a teaching job over the border; He returned home for a wife. But then he went back for keeps. He was naturalized, built his elevators, got rich. He didn’t rise quite as high as the Connecticut Yankee, but he was elected to par liament, was hiked up into the cabi net and there ran the railroads, the canals and the Canadian Broadcast ing system. And when Hitler struck he took over the job of providing powder and shot and related items. Now, stocky, cheerful and 57 years old, he looks ahead. He would build in postwar Canada a nine-point utopia on "the broad basis of agriculture, for ests, mines, fisheries and,” be lieve it or not, “private enter prise.” That makes it a Yankee utopia. That might make it work. T ORD HAILEY, baron of Shapur, ^ Punjab and Newport Pagnell, Bucks, aims to prove Twain was wrong by fixing up the weather. At Somebody’a Going ^ ^ To ‘Do Something’ is the head About the Weather of a British committee which proposes a series of stations throughout the empire to tell the postwar world, postwar airmen in particular, when to look for rain, hail, snow, heat, clouds and what have you. The baron is just the fellow to take on a job like that and, moreover, to do it up brown. He was for years a singularly com petent cog in the singularly com petent Indian Civil Service ma chine. He entered the service right after coming down from Oxford, Corpus Christ!, with hon ors. In his heyday he made multitudes of Indian peasants prosperous by building the Jbe- lum irrigation project. He turned Delhi from a mere pro vincial town into the country’s capi tal; he rose to be governor of the Punjab and then of Agra and Oudh v/here he kept civh disobedience a la Mahatena Ganchi under a firm thumb. For these successes he is now handsomely decorated with the sev en-rayed star of St. Michael and St. George, the lotus and roses of the order of the Star of India and the only slightly less exalted elephants and peacocks of the Indian Empire. And at the age of 71 he is still full of bounce. Italians Fight Their Former Nazi Partners ' 'i!

G AIL RUSSELL hasn’t seen her brother George for two and one-half years; he’s a bugler in the army, stationed in Alaska.

The other night “Big Town” Director Jerry McGill went over to see his friend Fred Bethel, the “Here’s to Romance” director, on broadcast night.
