is, MISS
Hayworth isn't fier.- off-screen.
Quiet and very earnest, and has to
be prodded with questions. This is
difficult because an interviewer is
inclined just to sit and stare at her.
Recently Miss Hayworth has
been the subject of a lot of favor
able talk around hometown, though
her best role probably was the one
that drew cheers in "Only Angels
Have Wings" Actually her exper-
fence dates to "Dante's Inferno" in
which she danced in 1885. And she

She Had To Wait
To Be discovered"
Her father is Eduardo Cansino,
one of the worlds great Spanish
dancers. Rita wanted to get into
movies, so Cansino brought her
west and they danced as a team for
10 straight months at the Foreign
Club in Tia Juana. Now and then
she'd dash up to Hollywood and
pound on executive doors. Nobody
eve paid her the slightest attention.
SO she'd go gloomily back and re-
sumo her hoofing with papa.
One evening a Fox bigwig drop
ped into the Foreign Club with a
party, looked at Rita, checked on
his champagne and rushed back to
Hollywood burbling about his great

her dance much, and pretty soon
they changed her lame. So after a
couple of years there was Rita Hay
worth, just another pretty girl, be-.
ginning all over again.
Marie Shelton
Wins Film Role
Yesterday I was telling about Jack
Dawn, the makeup expert, so this is
a good time to introduce Mrs.
Dawn, who is a Spanish-type actress
named Maria Shelton. She won a
lot of beauty contests in the south
and came here five years ago with
the usual ambitions and about the
usual luck. Bit roles, mostly. She
and Dawn were married more than
two years ago, n after their child
was born her weight zoomed to an
alarming 100 pounds.
While reducing, she began taking
dramatic lessons and bought a re-
cording machine to study her own
diction and expression. Finally, with
a slim figure and new confidence in
her acting ability, she went to the
Sol Lesser studio to try for the
feminine lead, a South American
girl, in Escape to Paradise"
IT look like the map Of Ireland
when I'm not in makeup" she said.
But Jack fixed me up to look con
vincingly Latin, and when the cast

ish for him I ratified off a string Of
it. He didn't know I was reciting
the lyrics of La Paloma.' I got the

Crops for War Goods
Disclosed by Wagner
Legislation Required
To Acquire Rubber and
Tin With Farm Surplus
~ the Assoeiatsd presa

Dy the Associated Press
The administration, 1t was dis
closed today, has shaped plans for
acquiring such critical war materials
as rubber and tin through virtual
barter Of surplus American farm
products.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of
New York said Jesse Jones, Federal
loan administrator, had told him
that II Congress approves the Re-
construction Finance Corp. would
use raw or manufactured agricul-
tural products to pay almost wholly
for reserve defense supplies pur-
chased abroad.
Senator Wagner cited letter from
Mr.. Jones in reply to Republican
contentious that a pending bill
might cloak the extension of credits
to belligerent nations in actual, II
not technical, contravention of the
johnson Act. The latter act bans
credits to defaulting debtors.
Townsend Sees Loophole.
The legislation would let the
r. F. c. set up a corporation au-
I thorized to purchase strategic war
materials and pay in advance of
their delivery. The corporation
could require that whenever prac-
tical such payments be used to
purchase American farm commodi-
ties.

nous reports that this was the first
move toward actual participation in
the European conflict.
Does this mean WARP" the ASso-
ciated Press asked Italo Verrando,
New York manager of the Italian
Line, who first disclosed the Rome
order.,- .....-
II don't know, but it looks like it,"
he said
Shortly after Italy's many ships
we're ordered into neutral ports,
Gaetano Vecchiotti, Italian Consul
General in New York. made ready
to go to Washington for an immedi-
date conference with Embassy OFF,
cials.
verrando said all Italian ships
were safe.
Forewarning Indicated.
Indications that the line was fore
warned of the move and prepared
for any eventuality were seen in
Verrando's comment: I'VE do not
expect to get much more from Rome;
we have our orders and will follow
them"
Several weeks ago the Italian Line
rushed its huge passenger liners
Rex, Conte di Savoia, Roma and
others to Italian ports and postponed
their sailings.
The Italian freighters Arsa, Aussa,
Alberta, San Leonado and Brennero
were in New York Harbor and the
Belvedere was at Philadelphia.
The Brennero, at Bayonne, N. j.,
Is an Italian naval supply ship
which was understood to be loading
stores. No information could be
obtained from Italian sources i'm

Verrando said other Italian vessels
in American waters were expected to
put into United States ports be-
tween Key West and Cape Hatteras
by noon today, indicating that speed
was necessary factor in the Italian
plans

captains to put into the nearest

Our ship captains are allowed to
use their discretion about what to
do." he added.
He said the liners Vulcania and
Saturnia, recently transferred from
the New York-Italy run to the Italy
South American trade, also were
safe in Italian ports, as was the
Augustus.
Italian ships have been watched
for weeks as it was generally believed
that Italy would enter the war when
they stopped sailing.
Of1cers on Italian vessels calling
at New York for the last few months
have openly predicted that Italy
would join Germany in the conflict
when the time is ripe"
Gibraltar Demanded.
These men said Premier Musso-
lini was Convinced that Germany
would win the war. adding that II
Duce was holding back to save as
many Italian lives and as much
property dS possible.
Italian officers have been particu-
larly vociferous in their demands
that Gibraltar be taken from the
English and given to Spain.
Freighters already here and pre-
pairing to start their Europe e-bound
Journeys had no American bookings
Verrando said, the scheduled pas
senger lists comprising only few
foreigners in third class.
Commenting on yesterdays an
nouncement from Rome that italian
waters were dangerous because OF
mines, shipping officials here said
there was nothing new in the an
nouncement because the Italians
were known to have been mining
their waters since last June.
American ship captains said it wa:
necessary to get Italian naval pilots
before entering Italian ports because
of the mines.

that this provision contained loop

instance, might be able to obtain

purchase Of war equipment here by
contracting to deliver rubber or tin
at a later date.
That might be a wise thing to
do am not passing judgment on
that" Senator Townsend said, but
I doubt the wisdom Of granting
such broad power to q corporation
set up by the Government. II it is
to be done Congress ought to know
about It,"
Senator Wagner said 1t was his
understanding, however, that the
barter method was to be employed
as much as possible in order to
channel surplus farm products into
markets which largely have been
closed by the European war.
Increased Consumption Sought.
Administration farm officials also
are broadening plans designed to in
crease domestic consumption Of
products which normally would be
sold abroad
Under the Agriculture Depart
ment appropriation bill pending in
Congress, the Government would
have about $l83, 900 900 to spend for
disposal Of farm surpluses. Orig
inally the department had planned
to use a considerable portion OF this
on export subsidy programs which
would make surplus crops available
to foreign buyers at "cut t-rate'
prices.
1t appears probable now, officials
said, that the bulk of the surplus
disposal funds will be used to SUBJ

Britain Bans Free Sterling
Rate on Exports 10 u. 5.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June THE govern
nent ordered today that all exports
from the United Kingdom to the
United States and Switzerland must
be paid for in sterling at the fixed
ohlcial rate or in United States
dollars or Swiss francs.
The fixed official rate for sterling
is $4.02l2 to $403Aa. The free rate
for sterling. which could be used
heretofore to pay for goods bought
from the United Kingdom, was $3.75
at yesterdays close.
The treasury order is designed to
insure that all current foreign busi-
ness is conducted at official sterling
rates and to denude the free market
for sterling.
The order covered the United
States and Switzerland because these
were the only remaining free sterling
markets in the world.
In corollary order persons resid-
ing outside OF countries where
sterling and French francs are used
were forbidden henceforth to sell
their securities in the United King
dom. Both the United States and
Canada are outside the sterling and
