;v' ■ ger ' ‘y THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Reieaae. N EW YORK. — After 1940 it seemed that Rear Admiral Ross T. McIntyre had had official instruc tions to look on only the bright side _ of all presi- Thu 3rd Tertner dentm! mi- Will Also Take 4th crobes. In // Voters Say So ’^.afterthe usual pokes and taps and lab tests, he announced that his White House patient wasn’t so good. In ’41, however, he said the subject was’in grand health and he said the same in *42 and ’43. But now, following that recent bout with the flu, he is firm in his order that the President coast for a while. McIntyre, chief doctor to Pres ident Roosevelt for three terms and a cinch for the assignment if voters approve a fourth term, is stocky, broad - faced, full- mouthed, bald and assured, as all good doctors must be. Born in Oregon, he married and prac ticed for a while before entering the navy in 1916 as medical corps lieutenant, j.g. Until he took on the top-to-toe care of Presi dent Roosevelt he specialised in eye, ear, nose and throat mat ters and was good enough to be elected a Fellow of the Ameri can College of Surgeons. He has decorations from Brazil, Sweden and Belgium. When he went to the White House he was a captain, but he was boost ed over a lot of seniors into the navy’s surgeon generalcy and made a rear admiral forthwith. His order is that the President keep between 184 and 188 pounds, which cuts off second helpings but allows an un limited variety of food. He didn’t order but approves the President’s eight hours of sleep and breakfast in bed between eight and nine. Din ner he leaves to Mrs. Roosevelt.

McCarthy er states man and business man, of course; and for that may take some personal credit. But consider his grandfather! A so licitor back in Dublin, he came to Canada because a partner left him short of cash and Canada seemed the best place for a fresh start. Mc Carthy wouldn’t likely be the new ambassador except for that Irish trouble. Then there is the fact that his family has long held a seat in the Canadian house of commons. Young Leighton, who was born in Ontario, near blue Lake. Hu ron, helped his uncle win the seat in 1891 and that, no doubt, inspired him to run for the seat himself in 1898. He held It until 1908. He has been Canadian Minister to Washington since 1941. Early in life he studied law in an uncle’s office in Barrie, Ont. Relatives, again! He has represent ed aluminum interests and is chair man of Canadian Life, the oldest Canadian life insurance company. A humanitarian, he is a trustee of our National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and visits the President yearly at Warm Springs. They are old friends. Mr. McCarthy is a spare, polished man, six feet tall. Although he is 75 years old now, it is easy to be lieve that he once excelled at rough tough lacrosse. Fishing, golfing and riding are his present interests. r T , HE Russians can’t be reading King Carol’s recent clippings. When his expensive press agent was hired the idea was to fill even Mos- d j c vt _> cow’s new Reds Say There re p apers w j th Still Kings a Cat stories of a Wouldn't Look At sort to draw a halo around the head of Rumania’s run away ruler. A lot of pieces landed in a lot of papers, good ones, too. But here is Moscow calling Carol a comic opera fellow and warning that he will never, never get his throne back. Such stubbornness will dismay Carol down in Mexico City’s sub urban Coyoacan where he lives a simple life intended to con vince his worst enemies that he is changed for the better. A Hohenzollern on his father’s side, kinsman of British royalty on his mother’s, he keeps to a practically peasant routine. He and Madame Lupescu live in a small house with only one serv ant, six dogs and in the master’s bedroom only seven suits of clothes. Now and then they play bridge with neighbors, no stakes; but usual ly Carol is abed with the birds, which should surprise his old Paris pals, if any still live. His typical day begins about seven in the morning. He breakfasts on coffee, toast, fruit, reads his mail and works in the garden, while Madame Lupescu suggests he might better have planted that there, or there. Then lunch and all the news papers, then a motor ride to deliver Madame Lupescu at the Red Cross workshop, then home to receive of ‘ficial crllei'S. A SERIES OF SPECIAL. ARTICLES!

The conferees met behind barbed- wire barricades, minefields, antiair craft batteries, cordons of troops and secret police. Even more formida ble was the protective barrier ol censorship. Madame Chiang, fragile and love ly as a lotus blossom, shopped for silk stockings, visited mosques and Saladin’s Citadel and had her hair done. Roosevelt and Churchill went to the Pyramids and listened to a half- hour condensation of their aeonic history by the No. 1 Dragoman, Haji Ali el Robeishi, who declined a large Rooseveltian tip and made a fortune selling “exclusive” inter views to 70 war correspondents, and will have all the “Freedom from Want” a man could wish for. The Generalissimo wasn’t im pressed by the Pyramids, which he saw with Madame. The Great Wall of China, he said, gets less publicity but is a better job. The Sphinx, however, got him. “He emanates majesty,” said Chiang. Churchill, described by Roosevelt as the writer of the group, wrote the communique. It was edited by the President, who changed the phrase “territories Japan has taken from China” to “territories Japan hcs stolen.” Madame Chiang, who witnessed the signatures, clapped hands and blurted happily, “That’s great!” Then everybody posed for pictures. The original of what became known as the “China Communique” was presented to Chiang as a souvenir. Stalin and Inonu. The subsequent meetings with Pre mier Joseph Stalin in Teheran and with Turkish President Ismet Inonu, were covered for the correspondents by proxy—by two British civil serv ants and two American ex-newspa- permen employed by the Office of War Information. They did as well as could have been expected. The plans—as made long before they started remodeling Mena House from a comfortable hotel into an of fice building and wiring it with 400 miles of qable connections with 47 villas where the bigger shots were housed with their staffs in the vi cinity—didn’t include Stalin’s pre»-, ence in Cairo. Arrangements were being made for the Mahomets of Anglo-American democracy to come to the mountains of Sovietism in Teheran. When, after five days of political and military talking, planning, lunching, wining and dining in Mena House, the scene shifted to Teheran for Act Two, the China Conference in Cairo had lost its interest for re porters and perhaps for the world. Stalin had propagandistically dom inated the Cairo Conference in ab sentia. In Teheran, he dominated it in person. But all we learned directly in Cairo was that the Rus sian uniforms are of excellent ma terial, that the Soviet Secret Police is efficient and omnipresent, and that all carried gats, including serv ants. We covered Act One with per iscopes, and Act Two by remote con trol. Stalin returned to Moscow, and Roosevelt and Churchill to Cairo to meet the Turkish delegation head ed by Inonu for Act Three. Turkey Leans Toward War. All three conferences were of acute importance, but in some ways, the most significant was the one in volving Turkey. The very fact that Inonu, cleverest knife-edge walker in the diplomacy of neutrality, came to see Roosevelt and Churchill was a slap in the teeth for Hitler, who, poor fellow, simply hasn’t anyone with whom to hold conferences now. Inonu’s presence in Cairo strongly indicated that Turkey’s balancing act was about over, and that the country would enter the war at ll:59Vi p. m. before the fateful mid night hour of victory, to secure a reservation at the peace conference. It was apparent that Turkey had at last decided that continued neutrali ty might be unprofitable, and Inonu’s arrival gave point to the statement of the Teheran Communique warning Germany of great offensives “from east, west and south.” ‘Great Revolution.’ Final chapter in the series of con ferences, was a speech by Premier Jan Christiaan Smuts. “We are passing,” he said, “through one of the great revolu tions of history. The significance of this war is that it is the first step to that greater world which is com ing. The war of arms will pass and the greater battle of the human spirit remains before us. A higher level of human destiny lies before us, for tbe elements are gathering for something much bigger than ever we conceived.
