Won Blomberg was born 58 years ago. By the time the World War broke out, he had risen in the army hierarchy to such a point that he was a general staff officer in the great Battle of the Marne. He was with the Seventh German Army when it stopped the advance of the. French at the river Aisne.
 The war over and badly lost, vor Blomberg went back into service with the Reichswehr, which under the Versailles Treaty was limited to 100000 men. ....
 He was one of the men who helped make this small army one of the most powerful for its num- bers that the modern world has seen. His whole heart went out to Hitler after the latter came into power. For Hitler tore up the Treaty of Versailles and gave the Reichswehr carte blanche to go ahead and build an army as big as they liked. Today that army has probably over 50o,o0o trained men, completely equipped with the tools of modern warfare. -.... ...
 Blomberg and Hitler became in- innate friends and .co-workers. With the army safely behind him, Hitler could disregard the malcontents in his Brown Shirt army. One of the results was his famous purge of 1884 when he got rid of hundreds oi Nazi opponents by the shotgun route. That. ended all Brown Shirt insistence that they be enrolled bod fly in the army. Won Blomberg and his Junkers wanted to pick and choose their conscripts-and they continue to do so. Hitler made von 'Blomberg minister of war in his cabinet. Still showering gifts, in May 1886 he made von Blonberg field marshal. The baton was in- scribed:
 Prom the Fuehrer to the first Field Marshal of the Third Reich
 Personally von Blomberg is tall, with broad shoulders and a face that does not look his 58 years. He is widower and his daughter keeps modest house for him in Berlin. Like his daughter, who, studied in Eng land, the General speaks fluent English and puts it to good use when important Britons come to Berlin. ''....

Her Own Story Has Human Interest

Her Own Story Has
 Human Interest
 It's the story of a country girl who did something about the dream of Hollywood success that comes to most young girls. She crashed the movie portals as an extra in the silents. Being a good horseback rider she had little trouble finding screen work under the name of Kitty O'Dare. She took that name be- cause the whole venture appeared daring to her. ... ea
 It didn't take her long to real ize she was searching for fame in the wrong place. So she started out for a fresh attempt on the Broadway stage. However, she only got as far as St. Louis, where she went on the stage in a sock company. Finally she drifted into radio as an actress.
 Before the mike she did every thing from baby cries to heavy dramatic parts. Eventually she became director of feminine shows at KNOX. .t
 T decided that there was a need for @ feminine news con- mentator in St. Louis," Miss Cra- vens explained, land I sold the idea to a sponsor. Then I found myself with a program and not knowing what to do with it, as had never had any reportorial train- ing" .~ .. .
 A friend on one of the St. Louis papers advised that she give the public human interest stuff" !" And to obtain that "stuff," Miss Cravens took to the air, literally as well as flguratively. She flew all over the country gathering in- formation for her broadcasts. And 6 year ago she flew into New York on network program.
 She was in the presidents home at Hyde Park on election eve. She has sat in prison cells with men about to be marched to doom. She has no trouble seeing people, only being refused an interview once and that by Ethel Barrymore.

He has been made a member of one of the filmtown's most talked-of clubs-the Break fast Club" Members who gather each morning for a chat over their cereal and milk are Hal Kemp, Al Jolson, Parkyakarkus, Benny Good man, Victor Young and Johnny Green. They discuss the latest radio activities, but their setting isn't the Brown Derby-it's the drug store at the corner of Hollywood and Vine.
 Carlton KaDell, popular West
