An Inside Picture of
Financial and Polit.
ical America

WASHINGTON-The recall
of Claude Bowers from Spain
for White House consultation
writes "finis" to the weirdest
story of diplomatic gypsylng
in recent times. 1t matches
some of his own historical
romances.
When the Franco revolution
broke out. Ambassador Bowers
moved to st. Jean de Luz, across
the French border He was severe
" criticized for leaving his post
during a crisis. but the fact was
that every foreign household trans
ferred to st. Jean, where they were
a bic TO confer and keep each other
informed of their respective gov
ernment's actions and attitudes.
As the Loyalist fortunes waned'
other sections Of the American
embassy staff removed to Valencia,
Barcelon and Perpignan. With
some stationed at Madrid and
Bowers at ST. Jean, it meant that
the United States actually had five
different diplomatic families in
single country.
The irony Of Bowers enforced
roaming lies in the fact that he
chose Spain of all the diplomatic
plums because he figured the
peaceful. romantic atmosphere
there would enable him to get
ahead with his writing Of books.
Next time he will probably pick
a nation where there Is guarantee
against revolutions.
For several DAYS during
President Roosevelt's absence
from the Capital the United
States operated under an alb
sentee form Of government
both at home and abroad.
Hardly q key official was at
his post Of duty-a fact which
caused some critical comment
among the toiliDg boys and
girls on Capitol Hill.
Only two members Of the cabinet
were at their desks. Some, as
always when the "chief" is away,
stole off for a vacation at their
homes or in the sunny southland.
Others took time out TO deliver
speeches several hundreds Of miles
inland. During this same period,
or earlier. every ambassador 10 a
ma or world capital was on leave
here or elsewhere-Kennedy. Bull
lit. Phillips. Johnson. Wilson and
Davies
Jim Fsrley's prolonged absences
have provoked tremendous specu-
lation. II is doubtful II the post

Curiously. the one group which
protested vehemently to its man
ager against so much nudity was
the Amazons, a bevy of giant girls
who average 6 feet and more in
height. This is a foot or two higher
than their manager. so they easily
persuaded him that they should

One of the Amazons is Lois De

She also was arrested in the con-

leased when police made a blanket
survey and discovered that she was
practically demurely clothed.

excellent idea, so the S60O-a- week

For a shy, nervous man to learn

great learning, indeed.
Paul Draper, who is naturally an
actor, once told me it took him five
years to acquire sufficient stage
presence to be able to pick hair
pin off the floor on which he was
dancing. He dances on night club
floors and there is always a stray
pin or two lying like trap for his
feet. 1t seems an easy thing to
bend a little deeper while acknowl-
edging preliminary applause and
scoop the pinor pins up. But Mr..
Draper, a man with a talent for
appearing before people, was half
decade in acquiring the knack

as courtesy to those on the plat
form with him. In this simple, con-
summately difficult business
show people call it-he manages to
lend note of polite informality to
his platform appearances before
large audiences, thus taking the
curse of "staginess" off them, and,
at the same time, manages by the
set of his back and shoulders, by
the tilt of his head to radiate from
his back an impression of majesty
to the staring thousands
Volumes can be written on the
technique of the British in staging
the appearances of their majesties.
Space limits me to this: Contrast
is the keynote.
The King and Queen represent

look like scowls, troops who go
through the air like bugle blasts
And there they are in the center,

pleasantly, conveying aloofness and
friendliness. Democracy itself, and
in a manner to make Shubert's

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
AS an actress Claire Trevor is an
extremely smart business woman.
For years certain Hollywood big
wigs have contended that actors and
actresses lacked the business judg-
ment to guide their own careers
And they were able to cite quite a
few examples to prove their point
However, this little blond actress be-
lieved she was quite capable of steer
ing her own boat
Last fall, after being under con-
tract to one studio for five years
her contract expired. She declined
to sign new one.
Naturally I'll make more pictures
for you if you want me-and I like
the stories," she told studio execu-
tives. But from now on I'm making
only pictures of my own choosing
About the time Claire stepped
out on her own. Walter Wanger was
getting ready to cast "Stagecoach.'
She grabbed the feminine lead The
picture was hit and her stock
scared rapidly.
Naturally, after her triumph in
that production, she was wanted by
every studio in the business. But she
was cautious. didn't want to ruin
her good start.
