f. 20 Marion, Indiana Leader-Tribune Oct. 25, 1946 Scenes From BY ERSKINE JOHNSON Hollywood, Oct. 24-(NEA)-A pall of smoke hung over Hollywood for days, several years ago, after Mary Astor's diary was introduced AS evidence against. 'her in.
Franklyn Thorpe's divorce suit. Glamour gals all over town were furiously stuffing diaries into incin-erators. "Do still keep a diary?" we asked Mary, ducking behind 8 makeup table. "No, dear," she said. "I'm afraid even to write my name on a check." But all that, she said, she'd like to forget.
Once one of Hollywood's top glamour girls, Mary is now thoroughly domesticated, both on a and the screen. She is happily mar-! ried, this fourth time, to Thomas G. Wheelock, A manufacturer's sounds but he. isn't rearing two children by previous marriages and is playing mother roles on the screen, We remembered that Mary once escaped sugary ingenue roles by a prank of fate. She was playing golf with Producer Sol Wurtzel, and she missed A putt and hurled her club in one direction and barrage of naughty words in the other.
Sol did a double-take, then said: "Mary, I've had you all wrong. From now on I'm going to let you play 1. Her next role. was Eddie Loew's gun moll in "Dressed to Kill," and her career skyrocketed. We wondered if there might be such a twist behind her switch to screen "No, she said.
"Just the years did it." After all. she reminded us, she made her film debut in 1920, when she was 14. She doesn't mind playing mothsaid. long they have character. Like Fritzi, mother of Lizabeth Scott in Hal Wallis' new movie "Desert Town." Fritzi is quite a gal, running a gambling joint and a couple of other places which the censors hate to have mentioned.
"Fritzi," Mary says, "is a character. I like characters." But, please, Hollywood, don't cast our Mary as' A "bewildered" or "understanding" mother. she said, "I hate." It -happened during- scene which George Marshall was George singled out an extra to do a bit of business and say one line of dialog. That's the break extras wait for -more money and A chance to be seen. But the extra just couldn't seem to get the idea of what Marshall wanted.
Finally. in desperation, Marshall himself went the camera and acted out what he wanted the extra to do. "See," he said, "it's easy." "Look," said -extra. "If I could do it that good. I'd get an agent." SHORT TAKES: Red stooge ex-wife, at Edna, benefit still shows.

Addressing his constituents in suburban Loughton, Churchill described his speech in the House of Commons yesterday as "a serious warning," and added dramatically: "I did not ask the question. (regarding Russian forces) without weighing very carefully the whole matter and without" consulting others, my friends and colleagues, and laying before them the evidences on which I proceeded.
"Nor did I ask the question without informing the government beforehand of my intentions, but you can take it from me that the facts I adduced are correct." Churchill praised Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin as "a sort of working class John Bull who has maintained continuity of policy 111 foreign affairs to a considerable extent," and lauded Prime Minister Clement Attlee's speech at Brighton today. "The fact that the British government have decisively broken with the Communists and are fronted against them, although it does not immediately affect the course of affairs in this island," he said, "has an important beneficial result abroad, because there are countries on the continentlike France--quivering under the Communist attack." I CHILE SELECTS NEW PRESIDENT Santiago. Chile, Oct. 24. (UP)Gabriel Gonzales Videla, 48, was confirmed today.
as president-elect of Chile by a joint session of congress thus assuring a continuation of the moderate leftist regimes which have ruled the country since Ganzales received 133 votes and his conservative opponent Eduardo Cruz co*ke, 46. One vote was blank. Gonzales will be inaugurated Nov. 3 for a 6-year period. He will succeed the late President Juan Antonio Rios who died June 27, the second successive Chilean chief executive to die in Like Rios, the new president is a strong of ican cooperation.
He visited extensively in. the United States and was a member of the Chilean I delegation to the United Nations conference at San Francisco. Six of the most modern units of the United States Navy are already en route to Valpariso in a special mission headed by Adm. William Leahy to participate in Gonzales: inauguration ceremonies, All of the political parties" represented in congress except the 'conservatives voted for Gonzales, thus endorsing the popular verdict of the voters in the Sept. 4 elecwhen she polled a 50,000 vote plurality.
Because Gonzalez and his conservative and liberal. opponents fell short of the required absolute majority at the polls. congress had to confirm the elections. Polling of the 185 senators and deputies, 5:10 began p. at m.
4:05 Gonzales p.m. WAS and proclaimed president-elect at 5:12 D. m. LACK OF SCHOOL BUSSES CITED Washington, Oct. 24.
-Sen. Wiley (R- Wis.) said today many schools in the nation trave been handicapped because. lack. buses and attributed this, the steel and coal strikes earlier in they Wiley, year. in A statement, called upon the civilian production administration to allot immediately 20.000 tons of sheet steel which, he said.
would result in production of 11,550 buses. Wiley said the coal and steel strikes were the result of a synthetic idea expressed and championed by (former Secretary Commerce) Henry Wallace. He told the country that wages could be increased 25 cents an hour. across the board without increasing the costs of the product. "That been clearly demonstrated to be false, but millions swallowed the idea, with the result that the strikes came upon us like 8 thief in the night and there followed "the shutdown -in production.
in steel and in nearly every other product." The Wisconsin senator said sufficient. school bus chassis have been built and delivered to bodymakers, but the latter have only been allotted sufficient steel to. take care of 12,500 units while their yenrly capacity WAS 23,800 units. "Unless the CPA takes care of this situation by alloting more sheet steel, these chassis will remain idle and the school children will be the sufferers," Wiley said.

S. DEMAND Berlin, Oct. 24-(UP)-American officials will ask Soviet occupation authorities for a full report 011 the transfer to Russia of thousands of expert German technicians, Col. Frank Howley, S. military governor in Berlin, announced today.
I Another highly-placed American official, quoting leaders of the anti-Russian. social democratic party, said four major German war factories were being dismantled and shipped into Russia along with their workers. The plants reportedly being moved are the Askania precision instrument works in Berlin, the Zeiss optical works in Jena. the Junkers aircraft plant in Dessau, and the Siebel aircraft works in Halle. German sources reported that approximately 1,000 persons had been transferred from the aircraft factories at Dessau and Halle, and that 315 had been taken from Zeiss works and its subsidiary, the Schott Glass Works.
Five hundred workers from factories in or near Berlin already had been sent to Russia. (London newspapers stated in dispatches from Berlin that a minimum of 5,000 workers were being transferred, and the maximum may prove to be many thousands more.) Military government authorities said that all of the persons being removed to the USSR are residents of the Russian zone. of occupation. Some of the evacuees reportedly signed contracts requiring them to work for five to 10 years in the Soviet union. Others, were apparently given little or no advance The following announcement was said to have been distributed.
to workers at the optical factory in Jena "The Karl Zeiss works, will be. transferred to the Soviet union. You are employed by the Zeiss' works and therefore have to prepare for your departure. You will be transported in A passenger train. There will be freight cars for your baggage.
Russian soldiers will aid you during the departure. contract with you will be signed Lafter your- arrival in the Soviettin union. You will be paid as skilled workers in the Soviet union are: paid. The trip to the Soviet union will last four weeks." Howley. who said that the whole question will be thrashed out tomorrow at A meeting of the four Allied commandants of Berlin, said that reports of the.
dismantling of the Zeiss works "appear to be accurate." characterized other similar: reports R8 "unproven." DRUNK DRIVER FINED. W'abash. Oct. Brown. 23.
of Huntington, was fined $50 in court here on A charge of driving while intoxicated. Interpretation Of BY the JAMES News WHITE. (Associated Press Staff Writer) Many Americans applaud the statement by Secretary of State Byrnes that this country will not loans to countries which profess that American loans mean economic enslavement. This statement has silenced -for the time being. at least who.
-Communist propagandists arguing that this country. by its loans abroad, seeks to conquer the world for American big business. They 'might be equally speechless if they examined seriously American program for international trade agreements. The whole question of these Joans is tied in with the problem of Russo-American relations, which has tended toward rivalry rather than cooperation around the world. Americans like the Byrnes statement because it neatly hoists the propagandist on own petard.
But Americans are not. the only determinants of how well American policy works abroad, and the ultimate effect of the Byrnes statement remains to be seen. Already it has been pointed out that Russia and her satellites enjoy geographic position and natural resources which make them less dependent upon loans from rival block than might otherwise -be the case. While it's only logical for Americans to help their friends first, we nevertheless are up against the illogical but prevalent fallacy abroad our wealth is unlimit-1932. ed and that therefore any withholding of American aid is selfish and discriminatory.
To that extent we are able to hostile propaganda. Our world -wide commitments, meanwhile, place 115 somewhat in position of missionaries promoting faith in democracy. and our. loans and other aid may be. thought of by peoples in much the same light as they think of the food and relief which actual missionaries distribute.
Evangelists-found long ago that faith spreads best with its own practice. They found that making acceptance of the faith first. AS a condition for help to the needy, produced the character known as the "Rice Christian." He goes through the motions of conversion order. to get.the rice and that. is about all that happens.
We may not. mean to discriminate and thus perhaps invited "rice democracies." but that doesn't guarantee that we won't be acroused- of it: or that rival Communisms" might he one result in the end. SPEEDER FINED Fine of $1 and costs was assessed Bernard Miller, 17, R. R. 6.
