BEAVERBROOK'S WRONG HOS The Secret Service did a .\upcrb; job in guarding Winston Churchill and his staff during their historic Washington visit, but there was one embarrassing slip-up. Secretary Morgenthau invited his old friend Lord Beaverbrook to drop in at his home on Chnslmdsz Day. At the appointed hour.| Beaverbrook hopped into a Secret| Service car and was driven to a handsome hcuse in a fashionable residential district { Ringing the doorbell, Beaver- brook was greeted by a well-dressed man whom he had never met be-| fore. | “I'm Beaverbrook,” the British| Supply Minister said. “Come right in, Your Lordship,”| was the hearty welcome. “It's a pleasure and honor to have you call, I want you to meet my wife and daughter.” After the introductions, Beaver- brock was served a drink, and after! a short stay, expressed his thanks and departed — still not knowing who his hospitable host was. Fur-| ther, he still doesn’t know to this day. NOTE: On their second try the Secret Service men drove Beaver- brook to the Morgenthau mansion. HOLLYWOOD GOES WASHINGTON Three -ace Hollywood directors, including - Frank Capra who di- rected “Mr. Smith Goes to Wash- ington”, are now going to Wash- ington to join the army. Their job is to produce pictures to boost the morale of the men; alsc training films. Army brass- hats finally awakened to the fact that the right kind of films can accomplish wonders for morale. Also they think a lot of short cuts can be taken in army training by visnal - education through films.

They are actually put- ting on uniforms and going into the army They are William Wyler who directed “The Little Foxes,” “Dedsworth,” “Wuthering Heights,” and “Dead End"; also John Huston, who directed “Th2 Maltese Falcon”. He is the son of the famous actor Waiter Huston. Finally, and already in Washing- ton, is Frank Capra, born in Italy, intensely proud of his American- ism, and director of such famous pictures as “Lost Horizon”, “The Bitter. Tea of General Yen," “Mr Deeds Goes. to Town”, and “Meet John Doe”. An army uniform is no new thing for Capra. He entered the last war as a private, came out a lie tenant. .« But the big question is whether the army will really make| use of its Hollywood recruits. Will they be turned loose to make stir- ring morale pictures or will they be snarled in red tape? When General Fred H. Osborn, chief of army morale, first was told Frank Capra was available for duty, | he locked bored, suggested a desk job. Then a few hours later he woke up to who Capra was, and rushed out to really put him to work. GOOD NEIGHBOR TRAIN Nelson Rockerfeller is: about to send a train to Mexico. And if it were possible, he would like to send trains all around the Latin-Amer- ican circuit. He got the idea from Floyd Odlum and his “Defense Special” trains, which toured the country’ to tell® the public what defense production meant. Why not do the same thing |below the RiobGrande? The imaginative minds in the Office of the Coordinator of Inter- American Affairs (Rocker rfeller) shapped at it, and immediately be- 2an looking around for trains. They went to Richmond to see an Odlum train, which they could have taken over after January; but it was a bit travel worn, and they decided to get up a new one. Rockerfeller's Joseph C. Rovensky Was assigned to the job, and plans were made for exhibits of tanks, anti-aircraft guns, Jeeps, and the wide range of raw materials needed to produce defense equipment—es. pecially the raw material that cemes from Latin America, Mexico will be shown, for ex- ample, how her rubber, lead, cop-, character The admiral, ward to dictating peace to the United States in the if we ever saw one. according to a broadcast by the news agency, wrote a letter almost a year ago saying he wouldn't be satisfied with cap- and and occupying am looking for- the Philippines Francisco, but: “I Washington.” it would require too much revising to cast Yamamoto in the role of Poo Bah.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: = Astrolo- gers long have warned that the ut- most caution should guide proprie- tors or executives of modest shops or factories. While priorities will | wreck certain projects they are necessary in the vast production programs of the United States gov- ernment. The next six weeks may be most critical for many manufac+ turing plants not engaged in de- fense contracts. NATIONAL ISSUES: Widespread espionage activities and serious sabotage may be expected on both the east and the west.coasts.

Frequent warnings of fifth columnists’ work within the great factories where they have obtained employment have been given by the seers who now forecast fires and explosions.
