Now, however. the com- bined good will of Nelson Rocke- feller and John Hav (“Jock”) Whit- ney is being exerted to reform the Hollywood practice of making every gigolo an Argentine Mr. Rockefeller, who is the Gov- ernment’s coordinator of Latin erican efforts, has dispatched Mr Whitney to Hollywood to see what the film industry can contribute to the Good Neighbor program. He will make at least one specific sugges- tion, namely that Argentina does not like to be represented as a na- tion of gigolos. ‘The gigolo himself was corrected earlier with respect to France.

TVA insisted that the Army’s con- tract contain a clause providing that when the emergency ended, the en- | larged nitrate plant, with a 300-ton | a day capacity, should not be shut down and taken out of use, but allowed to continue for the manufacture of low-cost term-‘ izer. In its seven years of opexnuon under TVA, Muscle Shoals has pro- | duced 100,000 .tons of fertilized a | year. This fertilized contains around | | 48'. per cent plant food, as com- pared to 17 per cent in private quarters. American Cynanimid, duPont and | other large fertilizer makers pro- tested vehemently. Joining them in the fray was the Mellon Institute, closely connected with the Alum- inum Company—which had been so pro-TVA a few months previous when the firm wanted additional cheap power. Generalissimo of these forces was Gano Dunn, head of the J. G. White Engineering Company, a close asso- |ciate of Wendell Willkie and, like him, an old TVA foe. But TVA's |spokesman was Chester Davis, one- time AAA boss and the farmer mems | ber of the Defense Commission. | Vigorously backing Dunn was Ed- | ward A.
