THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1942. x A3 Larz Anderson Home Turned Over fo Navy For Duration of War Society of the Cincinnati Makes Gift; Some of Its Furnishings to Be Stored One of Washington’s showplaces, the stately Larz Anderson house at 2118 Massachusetts avenue N.W.,, has been turned over to the Navy Department for the duration of the war, it was announced last night.. The gift was made by the Society of the Cincinnati, patriotic organi- zation which occupies the structure at present. The Navy said legal forms to complete the transfer are being drawn. No compensation will be asked by the society, whose mem- bers made the offer as a patriotic gesture. ‘The house, replete with fine furniture, art and statuary, will be stripped of some of the furnishings, which will be stored. It was the home of the late Col. Larz Anderson and his wife, who turned it over to the Society of the Cincinnati in 1939 #s a home and museum. Col. Anderson, former Minister to Belgium and Ambassador to Japan, had made the home a showplace with the collections of art objects from the hands of the best artists and craftsmen in many nations. The home has been the scene of many glittering social events. In it was entertained Marshal Foch, the King and Queen of Siam, the broth- er of the King of Italy, and many other persons internationally known. It was opened to the public in 1940 at a tea, the proceeds of which went toward a canteen fund for French soldiers. Col. Anderson, de- scegdant of an original member of the Soclety of the Cincinnati, is said to have built the house with the intention of making it a home for the society eventually. ° Geographic Speaker Cifes Australian War Measures Australia has a longer coast line to defend than the United States and has only 5 per cent of the popu- lation of this country, Mrs. John C. Walker told a National Geographic Society audience at Constitution | Hall last night. | A native of Australia, Mrs. Walkeri told of some of the defense measures that have been taken against possi- | bility of a Japanese attack, men- tioning particularly a great mine | fleld that has been laid along the} northeast coast in the vicinity of the Great Barrier Reef. Sandbag protection has been provided for many buildings in case of air attack, she said. Australian troops serving overseas =—in North Africa, Malaya and the Netherlands Indies—are velunteers, she sald, but the Commonwealth has conscription for home defense. In | the first World War, the country’s overseas army suffered a larger per- | centage of casualties than any other Allied force, she said. | Natural color films of the south- ern continent were shown. | | SPECIAL NOTICES. el WILL THE TWO LADIES WHO WITNESSED fallen man on "41. in Macomb st..

Soviet reports told of continued | battering of Axis positions from the 1 Arctic Fisher Peninsula to the | Crimea, of direct assaults on de- fenses of Taganrog and Kharkov, | and of heavy fighting around stra- | tegic Kursk. | A Tass broadcast said “destruction | caused by the Hitlerites in now- | liberated towns and villages is being | rapidly repaired” and farmers are assembling seeds, horses and trac- | tors. | New Type of Soldiers. The Soviet Embassy disclosed, meanwhile, that the Red Army was harassing the Germans with spe- cially-trained detachments of hand- | to-hand fighters much like Britain’s Commandos. The Soviet equivalent to the Commandos is called an “extermina- tion detachment” and its work, the Embassy said, is to “operate in the German rear, cut German com- munications, interrupt the Nazis’ radio network, blow up their fuel dumps, destroy ammunition bases, annihilate soldiers and officers and smash thelr equipment.” These forces are not guerrillas, in co-ordination with the guerrilla forces, which have been reported playing hob behind the Nazi lines, and with the regular Red Army. Some of the raids behind the Ger- man lines last as long as two weeks. Germans Report Repulse Of Russian Thrusts BERLIN, Jan. 17 (Official Broad- cast) (#)—German and Rumanian | troops have repeatedly repelled Rus- | sian thrusts on the Sevastopol front in the Crmiea, the high command said today. German coastal batteries were de- clared to have forced Soviet vessels | to withdraw from the west coast | of the Black Sea peninsula. (Red Navy units swept around Sevastopol after recent landings of troops at Kerch and Feodosiya to back up transports in an at- tack on Yevpatoriya, 40 miles north of the embattled Russian naval base.) Russian casualties in the Sevasto- pol fighting were declared to have been heavy. “‘On the central and northern sec- tors of the eastern front,” the high command said, “German troops strongly supported by the air force, yesterday again inflicted heavy cas- ualties on the enemy in heavy de- fense fighting. “East of Kursk (midway between Moscow and Rostov) three enemy guns and several machine guns were captured or destroyed in s sortie by our shock troops.”, L Film Actress Carole Lombard as she rehearsed her part in a ceremony to aid in the sale of Defense Savings Bonds in Chicago early this week.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—Some Chi- | cago motorists were puzzled over | automobile stamps until George A. Schirmer came along with his idea. The new stamps are supposed to be pasted on windshields or other ! places where they'll be visible from | outside the car, but the glue is on | the back instead of the face of the | stamp. Moreover, Chicago city li- | cense and safety lane stickers use up a good share of available wind- | shield display space. | Mr. Schirmer telephoned a motor |club his solution. He pasted the stamp on the back of the rear view mirror, making use of the Govern- ment glue, and leaving the stamp visible from the outside. The club recommended the plan to its mem- bers. The Internal Revenue Bureau here said there was no legal objec- back of the rear view mirror so long as it was clearly visible for inspec- tion. The bureau, however, prefers that the stickers be placed on the windshield where local ordinances permit, it was said, and new stickers being prepared will be gummed on the right side for windshield use. Roosevelt Calls Session On Defense Unemployment President Roosevelt today called to the White House a representative 1group of congressional and depart- | mental advisers for consultation on | | the problem of relieving temporary | unemployment in industries slated for conversion to military pro- duction. A program of this relief nature has been drafied by Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt and Sidney Hillman, associate director of the O. P. M. These two con- ferred with the President earlier in the week and announced at that time that such a plan was under final review. It is understood that the program calls for partial reliance on the un- employment compensation structure, with payments due under that for- mula likely to be increased for cases resulting directly from the conver- sion process. New Maryland U. Courses On Year-'"Round Basis BY the Associated Press. The University of Maryland will| go on a year-round basis in June with added emphasis on new lan- guages, science courses and military training for the duration of the war. President H. C. Byrd announced the plans yesterday after meeting with the board of regents, which approved his proposal. Dr. Byrd said: “The program calls for the uni- versity to operate on a tri-semester basis, with-approximately 15 weeks’ instruction in each semester. The curriculum will be adjusted in such a way that a student may be gradu- ated in two and one-half years in some cases, three years in others, or on the regular four-year basis if it is so desired.” A Ehow to display their new Federal | tion to placing the stickers on the | i —A.

Miss Lombard Was Rushing To Coast to Start Picture Carlton Duffus, in charge of spe- | cial acitvities for Defense savings | at the Treasury Department, said | today he was in touch with the | Carole Lombard party in Indian- apolis late Thursday when the | actress decided at the last minute to return to the West Coast by plane because of picture commit- ments. Mr. Duffus said he was informed | over the telephone by Otto Winkler, Hollywood publicity man who was | with Miss Lombard, that they had | hoped to return by train, stopping briefly in Kansas City and Albur- querque to- aid in Defense bond sales. Miss Lombard was to have started a new picture for Columbia Studios | Monday, playing opposite Melvin | | Douglas, Mr. Duffus said he was| | told. Miss Lombard and her husband, Clark Gable, stopped overnight in ‘Washington December 29, 1940, en | route to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where Mr. Gable was treated for an ailing shoulder. They | came back to Washington January | | 6, 1941, to catch a plane for the | West Coast. Singapore (Continued From First Page.) of land from Thailand to the sea in the Tavoy region. British combined headquarters in | | Rangoon, Burma, announced contact was made with the Japanese Thurs- day night at Myitta, in a broad valley 12 miles inside Burma and about 20 miles from Tavoy. Myitta is about 135 miles northwest of Japanese-occupied Bangkok and | some 230 miles southeast of Rangoon. No details of the engagement were given. The British, meanwhile, rear- ranged their military command in | India, giving the post of commander in chief there to Gen. Sir Alan Flem- ing Hartley, 59, former chief of the northern command in India. He suc- ceeds Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell, recently named supreme command- | er of the United Nations forces in the Southwest Pacific. Lt. Gen. Edwin Logie Morris, 52, was appointed chief of the general staff in India. - It was disclosed that a large num- ber of Japanese prisoners of war had arrived in Calcutta by ship from Singapore. Carole Lombard Won Friends by Dislike Of Insincerity Marriage to Gable Ideal Romance; Liked Fun And Practical Jokes By HUBBARD KEAVY, Associated Press Staft Writer. HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 17—Carole Lombard was universally liked in Hollywood because she had an in- tense dislike of everything that was artificial or insincere. Carole will be missed in Holly- wood as is another great figure, ‘Wil Rogers, who also pricked the balloons of fakery. Mr. Rogers died in an airplane crash. Carole’s likable debunking trai first came to my attention 10 years ago. Through a typographical error, her name came out on the screen with an “E” that never was there before. The studio, to alibi this, announced she had consulted a nu- merologist who told her a 13-letter name was much better than one of 12. This was Carole’s reply when I asked about numerology: “Don’t let 'em kid you, honey. That's & lot of bunk, but, since they're paying me so well, I don't care how they spell my name.” Had Colorful Voeabulary. Few persons in Hollywood had a more colorful vocabulary. But Carole never was offensive. She could be very much the lady, but when she was among friends, as| she usually was, she spoke as she pleased. Not long ago, Carole declared she wanted to make as many pictures as she could—just so she could give her Government more income taxes. Some criticized her for such a state- ment, accusing her of supreme egotism. Carole was unimpressed. “Nuts to 'em.” she told me, “if I can give the Government a quar- ter of a million bucks a year, who's | better off for i{t? Certainly I'm no worse off for working—pardon me, did I say working?—I mean for doing something like this instead of vouring coffee in a canteen.” Her marriage to Clark Gable was one of the town's ideal romances. She wanted very much to have chil- dren but her health would not per- mit. Her friends warned her that she and Willlam Powell, her first husband, were too much alike tem- peramentally; that they'd never make a go of {t. Liked Practical Jokes. Although she and Mr. Gable ap- parently were alike in their happy- go-lucky, casual, gag-playing ways, they complemented each other. Miss Lombard liked fun and practical Jjokes (she sent a large ham to Mr. Gable after their first meeting) and people. Mr. Gable. older, is more settled, the stay-at-home type. ranch house but they never enter- tained large groups, never gave parties to maintain a front. They entertained only the people both liked. When they could, Carole and Clark went away in their elaborate Just to ride. Great wealth did not impress Carole. She earned more than $2,- 000.000. “I hope,” she said recently, “that T never lose the thrill of buying a new dress. Sure, I could buy a doz- en dresses at a time, but what fun is that? I like to shop around; it's fun. I like to buy a suit and won- der if ‘Pappy’ (her pet name for Mr. Gable) will like it. I like to buy one hat and hope it'll look silly—but not too silly.” Always Sure of Herself. Carole had a masculine deliberate- | ness about her career. She always was sure of herself, but if a role | turned out badly she never shifted | the blame, as is the Hollywood cus- tom. Carole, 32, came here from Fort Wayne, Ind., when she was 7. with her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth K.| Peters, and her two younger brothers. When she was 16, and in high school, Carole got a chance to work in Mack Sennett comedies. She played a few minor roles and, then was cast opposite William | Powell in “I Take This Woman.” Her star began to ascend then. In 1936, again with Mr. Powell, | she set the style for the long cycle | of screwball comedies. From then, her pictures were high successes and her salary grew to $150,000 a picture. Her best pictures included “True Confession,” “Nothing Sacred.” “Made for Each Other,” “Twentieth Centry,” “Vigil in the Night,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and “They Knew What They Wanted.” Only a few weeks ago she completed “To Be or Not to Be,” a comedy, with Jack | Benny. " Churchill (Continued From First Pagc.) Plymouth this morning on return | from his visit to the United States of America. 1 “Mr. Churchill, who crossed the Atlantic from Bermuda in a flying boat of the British Airways, was ac- | companied by Lord Qeaverbrook, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Dudley Pound, Air Chief Marshal Sir Charles Portal and Sir Chafles Wil- son.” During the absence of the Prime Minister from London, sudden re- verses in the Far East precipitated press demands for, and widespread rumors of, cabinet changes. These problems, it was believed, will get the Prime Minister’s first attention. Stormy Session Forecast. Observers said Mr. Churchill likely had been working on his address to the nation and a Commons speech on his way home. A stormy session of Parliament has | been predicted, with a possible de- mand from Mr. Churchill for a vote of confidence if the criticism of the Malayan campaign becomes too se- vere or if his expected government changes prompt additional criticism.

Grocer Pulls Own Gun And Holds One*of Two Bandits for Police Other Flees but Is Caught Later Along With Son Suspected in Other Thefts A grocery store proprietor, invol- untarily assisted by an unsuspecting | customer, last night turned the | tables on two colored holdup men who had attempted to disguise their | faces with black shoe polish. | In capturing one of the men, who | gave information leading to the capture of the second in that hold- up and capture of a third involved in another holdup, the grocery store | proprietor, Ben Solomon, 44, helped | Assistant Chief of Detectives Rob- ert Barrett pile up a record for | breaking cases in the past week. | The two holdup men entered Mr. | Solomon’s store at 1012 First street NE. shortly after 11 pm. accord- ing to police.

Hal Solomon, 19-year-old son of the| proprietor, entered from the back | of the store, grabbed the bandit's| gun and made off after the fleeing | man, ‘The captured bandit asked for a cigarette, but Mr. Solomon, not to be fooled into a tussle with the gun- man, laid one on the counter and waited for the police to arrive. A motor cycle man, first on the scene, arrested Mr. Solomon’s cap- tive while Capt. Barrett, who had been cruising in the Northeast sec- tion with Lt. C. N. Strange, chief of the robbery squad, pulled up outside. Two Others Captured. ‘The son-in-law, who had partici- pated in the robbery, was arrested in the 1300 block of Sixth street N.W. and his son, a 14-year-old boy, was also taken into custody in connec- tion with the holdup of Louis Dorf- man at 1205 Massachusetts avenue NE, last Wednesday night, accord- ing to police. The three were being held for in- vestigation and will face a number of recent holdup victims at a line-up tomorrow. From various descrip- tions, Capt. Barrett said he believed the three were implicated in several other cases. Capture of the bandits last night marked the third case broken by Capt. Barrett in a week. On Jan- uary 9, he broke a $900 alleged “hoax” holdup which occurred last August. On January 12, he was in- strumental in the capture of the men implicated in a Baltimore mur- der and a series of Baltimore and Washington holdups. Unassisted by police, Anita Harri- son, colored, of 518 Fifty-fifth street N.E, yesterday foiled the efforts of a colored man to rob the drug/ store at which she is employed as a clerk at 5131 Grant street N.E. The man made a purchase and, while her back was turned, the man went behind the counter and picked up two jars of change. As the thief at- tempted to leave, she tackled him and recovered the money.

Senator Reynolds said the action was brought about partly because of criticism by the Senate Defense Investigating Committee of the part played by some Army officers in the Army cantonment construction pro- gram, as well as other phases of the rearmament effort.- Won't Delay Appointments. Senator Chandler said many members were impressed by the dec- | {’ laration of Chairman Truman of the Defense Committee in the Sen- ate that personnel involved in “graft, waste and inefficiency” us- ually won promotion and transfer to other posts. “What we want to do,” Senator Chandler told reporters, “is to in- vestigate these appointments to see if they are justified on the basis of | the indivdiual's record. There will be no dispostion to delay them. we Jjust want to scrutinize them care- fully.” Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala- bama, who also is a member of the Military Committee, said he re- garded the appointment of the sub- committee as a routine action. He did not believe, he said, that it was connected with the publication of | the Defense Committee's report. Full Inquiry Impossible. Senator Hill pointed out that be- | cause of the war Army promotions were being made at a rapid pace and full committee to inquire into the records of all of these men. He added that too often in the past, nominations had been given com- mittee approval without any such study.
