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!

Allied side is this photograph of Italian soldiers carrying ammunition to our forces near Mount Lungo. Cen

Back From Tarawa on a Stretcher
D. S. coast guardsmen bring a wounded marine aboard their trans
port posted near the bloody beach of Tarawa. He was one of the 2,700

caused most of the marine casualties.

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. As she’s been a
movie actress less than a year,
he’s never seen her on the
screen, though her third pic
ture, ‘‘The Uninvited,” is now
in the editing stage. So she’s send
ing him all the glamour^art of her
self that she can lay Tier hands on,
to prove to him that the spindly-
legged junior in Santa Monica high
whom he left behind him is really a
movie actress now.

Boat” fame, who’ll be her father
in the new picture, “Belle of the

will play a trombone, and Gypsy
Rose Lee will—well, lie’ll be Gypsy

All of the casualties on “Sus
pense,” the CBS thriller, aren’t con
fined to the script. When Orson
Welles guest-starred recently, he
broke his ankle as he entered the
echo chamber, a box-like compart
ment used to give voices a ghostly
quality.

Dame May Whitty stepped right
jut of her role as Pierre Curie’s
mother in “Madame Curie” to testi
fy on juvenile delinquency before
Senator Pepper’s U. S. senate sub
committee on wartime health and
education. They say she was just
as delightful there as she is in the
picture, especially when telling of
her prewar experiences in arrang
ing country vaeations for London’s
underprivileged children.

Sammy Kaye was the second Hol
lywood celebrity to back the “Dance
With a WAC” program, which origi
nated with film producer Charles R.
Rogers. When Rogers was in Palm
Springs on location for “Song of the
Open Road” he arranged for the
male members of his cast and crew
to spend an evening dancing with
the air WACs stationed at the
army’s desert transport command
base.

Mischa Auer’s collection of pets is
becoming a problem. He had 30
hens and a rooster, and recently re
ceived two dogs, a Newfoundland
and a Yorkshire terrier. Wally Ford
gave him the Newfoundland, which
weighs about 200, and he named it
Heddy. The terrier was Mary As
ter’s gift; it weighs a scant 2Vb
pounds, and he calls it Tallulah. “Up
in Mabel’s Room” is his current pic
ture.

Joan Davis and Jack Haley of
the air waves are dashing from one
picture studio to another these days.
After Joan’s appearance in “Around
the World” RKO signed her for two
pictures a year, and she's also ul-
der contract to Paramount for two.
Jack Haley was originally all set
for RKO’s “Up in Mabel’s Room.”
but had to drop out because of other
picture assignments.

As chairman of the Malibu ration
ing board, Warner Baxter took over
in the days of sugar distribution; he
stuck through coffee and gasoline,
but wanted to resign when he re
turned to the screen to star in “Lady
of the Dark.” He was persuaded to
stay, merely appointing a temporary
vice chairman, and completed his
picture work in time to come back
and face the canned goods situation.

It’s the way things happen—to
some people. 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. He was much
impressed with the looks and voice
of Marcia Neal—and the result of
that chance meeting is that Marcia
has a part in McGill’s new Broad
way play, “Compromise.”
