She Likes Mccarthy,

The heart of Andrea Leeds be-
longs to Charlie Mccarthy and
Edgar Bergen is merely a friend,
Walter W.nchell Notwithstanding
the attractive Hollywood star de-
clare here today.
Laughing merrily over Win
chell's report she soon may be-

WILL MEET PRESIDENT
Miss Leeds was looking forward
to her meeting with President
Roosevelt at the White House. She
said:
II have met Jimmy Roose-
welt and he certainly is at
tractive. If his father is any.
thing like Jimmy, he really
must be something"
Miss Leeds, who carries a little
March of Dimes" cash box and
makes autograph hunters con-
tribute to the infantile paralysis
foundation campaign before sign
ing her name, said she felt like
a page from Gone With the
Wind" as she embarked on her
days schedule, which will climax
at the Gold Plate breakfast to-
morrow morning in the Carlton
Hotel.
HAZEN HOST TO STARS
Business was suspended at the
District Building today when Miss
Leeds and a galaxy of other
Hollywood celebrities gathered in
the Office of Commissioner Melvin
c. Hazen, to broadcast radio ap-
peals for a record turnout at the
birthday balls tonight.
Eleanor Powell confided she had
brought her long black silk stock
ings with her from Hollywood and
would dance for the benefit of
paralysis sufferers at the celebra-
tions tonight.
She said she was thrilled over
being selected to return to Wash
ington for the celebration again
this year and revealed she had the
same police escort as she had last
year.
Some Of my friends have in
timated there is a romance un-
- cha cdtl EGRNU TTYlN of
uniform"
Others who gathered in Hazen's
office were Annabella, Jean HerSh-
olt, Frank Fay, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Whiteman, Red" Shelton, and
Bramwell Fletcher, star Of "Out-
ward Bound" which played a COM
mand performance for the paraly-
sis fund last night.
One of the last stars to arrive
in the Capital was petite Lili
Damita, who arrived at Union
Station shortly before 10 a. m. She
was met by her husband, the
handsome Enrol Flynn, also a
movie star. During the time he
was waiting for the train-and at
the request of station officials who
feared he might be mobbed by fans
Flynn secreted himself in the Of
flee of the station master.
AFFECTIONATE FAIR
But there was little need of the
secrecy. Other than reporters and
photographers few knew the time
Of Miss Damita's arrival.
Reports Of a rift between the
pair were dispelled by the affec-
ton of the greeting.
Miss Damita kept turning her
brown head to look up and smile
at her husband. He watched her
fondly.
AS they neared the waiting
room Flynn asked in his clipped
British accent, and just as any
other husband would:
Have you any money, darl-
ing?"
"NOoooo"-replied wifey as
she delved for her trunk checks,
Haven't you?"
Flynn made a mock gesture of
despair.
A reporter wanted to know If
she wasn't French and she re-
piled:
Not now-I am British"
And snuggled closer to her
husband.
