■NJEW YORK.—Nearly 50,000 sol-
diers from this war have joined
the American Legion and by so
much the efforts are advanced of Na-
. . .. tional Com-
Invitet New Vet*
To Take Over the
American Legion
duce the new veterans to “take over
and make the organization theirs.
And Atherton knows that if the new
veterans do come in they will cer
tainly take over, for they will out
number the men of the last war
three or four to one, at least.
m a n d e r
Warren
Hendry Ath
erton to in-
Atherton, a 52-year-old lawyer,
came np slowly to his No. 1 spot
in Legion affairs. He was a
charter member of a post in his
home town of Stockton, Calif.,
hat he was seven years winning
the post commanders hip. And
while steadily hnsy for the state
Legion he was seven more years
getting into the national picture.
He became a member of the
Americanism Commission in
1933. It was, however, as na
tional defense chairman that he
really stepped out. He traveled
for weeks, and 7,000 miles, in
a pre-Pearl Harbor survey of the
nation’s defenses. /
He was early, but slow in the
army, also, although he ended up
with a good rating. He enlisted three
months after marrying. A lieuten
ant shortly, he went overseas and
finished a captain. Before the war
he had quit railroading for a corre
spondence course in law. When the
war was over he hurried back tc
Stockton and hung out his shingle.
The law has been good enough for
years to support the family of six
pleasantly. He has three sons and
a daughter. Two of the sons are io
this war, with the air corps.
"IXflTH a little luck, Col. Edgar
S. Gorrell might have made
prophetic Nostradamus look like a
guy guessing a daily double. A
_ , _ _ _ „ month and a
Col. E.S. Gorrell half ago the
May Well Shout colonel said,
‘It 9 * a Bull’s-Eye’ ? ut in ° k . la -
homa City,
that bombing raids on Germany in
the next 46 days would be decisive.
Only the bombers can say by how
far the forecast missed. But from
this corner it seems close. Another
bomb here, another there, a couple
more Unter den Linden and the
colonel will qualify.
The short, solid colonel is a
subdued sort of fellow. Only bis
brown eyes snap. His voice is
usually toned down to tete-a-tete
volume. At West Point he was
called Nap, and not because he
reminded anyone of Napoleon.
The colonel finished at the Point
when he was 21, back in 1912,
hurried into the air corps and
flew a plane in the Mexican hunt
for Villa. When the First World
war caught up with us he went
to France and wound up with
oar Distinguished Serviee Cross,
the British DSO and the red rib
bon of France’s Legion of Honor.
Nowadays he speaks as the czar
of all civilian air lines. He has been
president of the Air Transport asso
ciation for years. The job came to
him not long after he quit the army
back in 1920 and it has made him
known the world over. An evangel
ist of air travel, he has traveled
everywhere. Always by air; and
never without a safety belt. He has
worked hard to erase danger from
flying.
TN THIS uncertain corner a shad-
* ewy notion still lingers that
'’logistics’’ ought to have something
to do with argumentation. Lieut. Gen.
...» , Sir William
Thz* Supply Genius Gordon
/« Never Too Late L i n d s e 11
With Too Little was never
fooled m the
same way. And that may be one
reason why he becomes boss of trans
port and supply in the fresh war that
Lord Louis Mountbatten is getting
ready for the Japs in Southeast Asia,
Sir William knows, maybe,
more about military transporta
tion and all the curtycues of
logistics than any other couple
of British generals. Give him
just a little time to figure arid he
will scheme out a scheme that
might move anything, even
Heaven and earth. On time,
too! He kept his supply trains
bumping the heels of Montgom
ery’s fighting divisions all
through the race after Rommel.
The British minister for war calls
Lindsell a supply genius. If he is
he is self-made. Nearly 60 now, he
has been in the army since he
was 19.
His record for a long while was
just that of one more officer among
many. Son of a colonel who had
married a lively Irish daughter of
an admiral, he was commissioned a
lieutenant in 1903. He had become a
captain when the First World war
opened, and when it closed he was
only a major, although one with the
DSO, the MC and the Croix de
Guerre.
After the war, however. Sir Wil
liam commenced to unveil his vast
•knowledge of the problems of mili
tary organization, administration
and supply.

T HE film critics of New
York’s newspapers voted
Paul Lukas the best actor of
1943 for his performance in
“Watch on the Rhine” (at the
same time voting the picture
the year’s best), but they
were a little late. Warner Bros, had
handed Lukas a tribute of their own
some two weeks earlier for the same
performance; theirs was a long-term
contract. His first picture undbr the
new contract will be “Night Action.”
It is based on an original story by
I Norman Krasna, with George Sklar
doing the screen story.
*
The Warners came out very well
In those film critics’ voting sessions—
Ida Lupino was voted the year’s
best actress for her work in “The
IDA LUPINO
Hard Way,” with Katina Paxinou as
runner-up for her performance in
“For Whom the Bell Tolls.”

Jean Pierre Aumont, Metro star
whose last film before joining the
Fighting French was “The Cross of
Lorraine,” relays the following let
ter from General De Gaulle concern
ing the film: “I congratulate you for
having shown such a beautiful pic
ture, the active participation in the
resistance of all Frenchmen under
the cross cf Lorraine. It is fitting
that this silent and bloody war be
put before the eyes of our true
friends, particularly those of the
United States of America.” There’s
a laurel wreath worth having.
*
War’s effect on Cupid: there’s a
scene in “Riding High” where Doro
thy Lamour and Dick Powell are
shown standing on a boatlanding in
Technicolor moonlight. Dick tries a
tentative kiss. “I can’t make out,”
says Dottie, “whether you are care
ful, indifferent, or just plain dumb.”
"Oh,” replies Dick, “those were just
tracer kisses. I think I have the
range now.”

This year starts promisingly for
Marjorie Riordan, who has the cov
eted role of Bette Davis’ daughter
in “Mr. Skeffington.” Her contract
was purchased from Sol Lesser by
Jack Warner following her hit in
“Stage Door Canteen.”
—*—
Euline Martin was only three
weeks old when her mother took her
to the RKO studio to play Ginger
Rogers’ baby in “Tender Comrade.”
Producer David Hempstead asked
her mother to get the infant a social
security card. “Euline already has
a card,” was the reply. “This is
her second picture. When 16 days
old she played in 'Buffalo Bill.’ ”
*
Greta Christensen. Chicago high
ichool girl, got her contract with
RKO through posing for department
store advertisements. Dare Harris,
17, was striking pins in a bowling
alley when he was seen by the talent
scout for Vanguard Films; he makes
his screen debut in Selznick’s “Since
You Went Away.” Looks as if all
roads lead to the movies nowadays.
*
The greatest radio scoop of the
war, according to the Associated
Press, was made by marine Sergt.
Roy O. Maypole, when he made his
radio recording of the historic land
ing at Empress Augusta bay on Bou
gainville island. The recorded broad
casts will be released to the public
through marine corps headquarters
in Washington. Maypole’s the for
mer producer of CBS’ wacky “Mis
sus Goes A-Shopping.”

Resemblance to Frank Sinatra
brought good luck to ex-marine Har
ry Landers. Discharged from the
service after being wounded in ac
tion, he got a job as a studio
/laborer. His next job was as stand-
in for Sinatra in “Higher and High
er.” When the singer left the troupr
he asked that Landern be kept on
a? a dress extra—Producer Tim
Whelan then gave him a minor role
in the musical.

It may ba eaosed by disorder of kid

people feel tired, weak and misermbla
when the kidneys fail to remove excess
acids and other waste matter from the
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness,
getting up nights, leg pains, swelling.
Sometimes frequent anc scanty urina
tion with smarting and burning is an
other sign that something is wrong with
the kidneys or bladder.
