S. Secref Service (Continued from Page One) ident, his military ana naval chiefs of staff and the guards took to two giant airliners, it"was a differ- ent story. Once in Casabla the task was simpler in spite of its proximity to the fighting zone and the presence of hordes of natives. Once bedded down in the now historic villa, the Secret Service had Scotland Yard and the soldiers of Maj. Gen. George S. Patton Jr., to help keep the party in “protective custody.” ‘There were only two means of en- trance or exit at the villa and you can bet nobody went either way without running the gauntlet of guards. However, keeping Mr. A (as he was referred to throughout the trip) in “protective custody” is like trying to carry a spoonful of mer- cury through a fit of palsy. Before the .week was out, he had determined to review the troops at Rabat and Lyautey—a long auto- mobile trip. When he expressed a hankering to visit Marrakech, in the shadow of the great Atlas moun- tains, after Prime Minister Church- ill had described it as one of his favorite vacation spots, the S. S. men really got the jitters. At that time, there were no soldiers at Marrakech and to run them in would have brought the natives flocking from miles around. One of the President’s chief advis- ers was asked to intercede. “Not me,” he said. “And if you want a little advice, you'd better get busy on preliminaries or what- ever it js you do in Liberia, because dollars to what's left of a dough- boy's doughnut, that's where we're going next.” And go they did—after an over- night motor trip into the mountains of Marrakech. ‘The goodwill of the peoples where the President visited and the fact that the United States proved that it can keep a wartime secret are no doubt responsible in part that not one suspicious circumstance marred the trip. But the big bow must go to the men who guard the President. The only word to describe the way they handled their biggest assign- ment is “perfectly.” ANNE GWYNNE « JANE DARWELL SS T ACTION DRAMA IS LAVISHLY STAGED 0PUS ""Men of Texas'* Opens To- night at Capitol Theatre -Has Fine Cast Seldom is a “Western” screened so lavishly or with such a galaxy | of top-ranking stars and character actors as is the current “Men of Texas” showing at the Capitol Theatre tonight. A saga of the reconstruction days in Texas done in the romantic man- ner, the picture is said to be a fast-moving outdoor drama with the .instinet for freedom and inde- pendence as its underlying theme When the Chicago Daily Tri- bune’s star reporter and his photo- grapher pal head for the land of the Alamo in the year 1865, they find Yankee haters, cowboys plus Statson hats, horses and a pretty girl, all stirred together in a recipe at produces action, comedy and romance to the full.
