The “fourth term talk,” that “anti- third term” movement in several states (so far, it has been mpstly a fizzle); repetition of the names! of Governors Bricker, Stassen and Dewey, and of (Wendell Will-! kie’ as potential Republican can- didates; and now this battle over the lengths of the campaigns, are all opening guns of a calibre too large to be ignored. rar . Suppose for the moment that the Republicans hold their con- vention in the usual months of June, or July, and Democrats hold off until September. In those two or three months, the sentiment of the voters toward the Repub- lican nominee will be pretty well erystalized; his “novelty” will have worn off; the war situation will be a couple of months nearer its final outcome (if it isn’t already over). { The President, gauging public sentiment, will be in a much bet- ter position to decide whether he wants to run again or pass the hat to someone who will carry on his Policies. If he doesn’t “choose to run,” the “silent treatment” he gave the Democratic party in 1940 will be just as effective in keeping other aspirants out of the race and setting up another con- vention without any prospective tandidate other than himself or someone he might favor. Furthermore, the Republican nominee would.be in the position of running along for a couple of months without an opponent.

AP Features Writer HOLLYWOOD, June 11—Re- cently we reported on the situa- tion of young actor David Bruce who preferred light comedy and so found himself entangled in a gay horror piece called “The Mad Ghoul”. Today we found in the same ricture a kindred spirit to Bruce It was Robert Armstrong, an ac- tor you've known a long time. “Tve had a yen to get back to comedy work.” said Bob, who used to be a funny fellow until the anti-Nazi cycle nabbed him. “And this is it.” So we were invited to come over and see Bob in his element. Bob is the fellow who came to Hollywood after convulsing Broadway and thé road with Jimmy Gleason in “Is Zat So?’ He played the pugilistic mugs In Hollywood he was soon trans- formed into a romantic mugg, which made him a natural for the gangster cycle that was com- ing. That in turn rominafed him to play Nazi gangsters, ~4 job he’s been doing the couple of years. “I'm mighty glad,” “to be doing something and light again The setting was neither funny nor light. “It was a dimly lit funeral chapel, with open cas- ket backed by fading floral sprays and wreaths, waxen tap- ers burning. “What I mean,” said Bob, am- plifying, that I have some funny moments.
