Hollywood Sights And Sounds
BY Robin Coons-

HOLLYWOOD, May 13.-Things
looked bad that day. The word
had been around for a couple of
weeks that Mickey Mouse was
playing around the stock exchange.
If Mickey Mouse were going to
go big business, Walt Disney and
studio might change. You
can measure the catastrophe of
such a change only if you know
Disney and the Disney studio as
they are.
The old studio Was being evac-
uated, regardless. A big new plant
has been going up on 81 spread
ing acres of Burbank soil to ac-
commodate the growing Disney
professional family.
1t is a beautiful new plant, red
brick buildings and yellow and
green trim, modern in style and
done out with all the new gadgets
and comforts and conveniences,
including a big studio dining room
and a theatre where the en-
ployees 60 to see movies-their

around the big new lot, and I'm
happy to report that Disney is

were already exchanges of win

There may be other lots with

, HOW to EAT to BEAT the HEAT
You Can't Eat Thai? That's What
You Think! Here The Real Truth

The trouble with your stomach
is often mostly in your head. Ma
ture, fortunately, has the food
mixing problem pretty well in
hand. Milk, for example, contains
both sugar Starch is changed to
sugar in the process of digestion)
and protein. Likewise all cereals
contain both protein and starch;
also vegetables.
In fact, there are very few pure
starches and proteins and they
would not only provide unattractive
meals but deficient ones. Even
starch in the form of flour contains
some protein.
But your food is toxic" you say.
Normally, food isn't toxic. That's
one thing to remember next time
you begin to worry about food COM
binations.
Of course, there are some peo-
pie with definite allergies, and to
them certain foods are toxic. These
obviously should be avoided. A
physician should advise in such
cases. But, generally, were you to
avoid several foods because thy
were toxic" you would run the
danger of diet deficiency which
might result in troubles much
worse than sensitivity or allergy.
The same holds true for "acid"
foods. Normally, tomatoes and
citrus fruits do not cause an "acid
condition." The acids in these
foods r normally burned or oxid-
lied and their residues are aka
line.

Man bout

By George Tucker


NEW YORK, May 13.-News re-
porting is a highly technical field.
It can not be arrived at without
assidious labor. One does not learn
to distinguish the false from the
true by asking questions and TAX
ing notes. The newspapers them
selves, profiting by years and gen.
erations of experience, must be re-
garded as the highest authorities
in the business Of disseminating
factual information. In self
respecting newspapers, news that
can not be proved is always quail
flied.
1 mention this because radio, at
this point, is going through its first
big war. 1t is still ar infant in
dustry. Never before have its re-
porters and its commentators been
put to such a task as it nov faces.
The experiences it gains from
these undertaking now will 60 a
long way in developing its tech
nique and in maturing its judg-
ment. It's judgment, at this writing
is not yet as mature as is desir-
able. 1 say this with regard to the
commentators themselves, who,
under pressure of Notwithstanding
events, are prone to seize micro
phones and offer pure rumor as
fact.
On recent evenings I have been
a little amazed at the rashness of
certain well known, and highly
paid, commentators, who drama
tie events without first bothering
to ascertain whether they are
fiction or fact. Where there is
doubt, that doubt should be stress
ed. These commentators have not
always emphasized this doubt. I
think this is a mistake. We r
living in an age when institutions
are crumbling and when national
boundaries r fading out like
whitewash in the rain. With their
access to untold millions, radios
commentators can render a ser
vice of inestimable value by mere
ly exercising a little caution and
temperance.
There are a great many-a
really surprising numbered Sue
cessful negro orchestras in this
country. If you asked me to name
the outstanding ones I would have
to accept the judgment Of other
people. Frankly, I don't know.
But 1 can tell you this. If you
journey down to Fulton, Miss, and
ask the people there, they will give
you one name-Jimmy Lunceford.
He is a Fulton boy who came
to Broadway by devious ways. One
of these was a stop-over at Fiske
University, where he acquired al
degree and 4 letters, emblematic
of his skill as an athlete. He be-
came a professor and at n time
was a head-Waiter.
But his heart was engraved with
a f%our-letter word that you pro-
nounce Jazz (Swing hadn't yet
been i%nvented), and he started out.
Duke Ellington says he has "a
mood and a color that nobody can
initiate" l can tell you that his
records Che records for Columbia)
is a good indication of his popular
ity. Hughes Panassie, the French
authority, insists he is the most
important thing that eve happen
ed to Swing.
All I know is that he is a big
240 lbs product of the gulf states
who found his medium, created a
style, and has become rich. He
has arrived at that point where
most pepole think of relaxing and
looking for a little fun.

clan should be consulted. But, gen.
orally speaking, most of these food
'fads" are totally without founda-
ton.
You can't mix your starches and
proteins? "Oh, I never do that"
you hear someone say. Carefully
that person avoids roast beef and
mashed potatoes, or broiled fish
and a glass of milk at the same
meal. Yet that same person will
smack his lips at the mention of
oyster stew, lobster a la Newburg,
Goldfish cakes, or baked beans and
Boston brown bread, all combina-
tons of starch and proteins.

and truth are inescapable. Obviously, the Ger
man people are being denied the necessities
of life to feed the Nazi army. Quite as obvious
ly, the Allied blockade is cutting down the
flow Of supplies into Germany SO completely
that there is not enough food for both army

What this means is that unless HITLER
makes a killing in the low countries he stands

WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May proverbial
small towns where gossip flows over the back
fence with the speed of radio, gathering new
twists and tangles as it crosses each yard,
can't hold a megaphone to Washington.
Within the space of three hours I have heard
authentic reports of a super.super munitions
lobby's control of congress; a Nazi Trojan horse
scheme to sabotage upper-crust British politics;
and an elaborate plan to blow up the Panama
Canal by a suicide crew sailing an apparently
harmless fishing smack.
Also that Mrs. ]. Wentworth Traveller has
pawned the crown jewels to finance the Ameri-
can Bolshevik revolution; Senator Doakes is
the real fuehrer of the Christian Front; and
our government is really controlled in the draw
ing rooms by the American equivalent of the
Cliveden set.
Also that a prominent Hollywood actor who
frequently %portrays historical characters is
Americas No. 1 Communist, and Shirley Tenn
pie is a Japanese spy.
Such things may seem far-fetched but they
are no more fantastic than some of the tales
that wag their way into the best Washing
ton circles. 1t takes more than a couple of
pinches of salt to catch facts in Washington
and a gent has to be pretty sly to keep his nose
for news from slipping down to a neck for
moose.
Duty vs.. Politics
Still, a correspondent is neglecting his readers
If he doesn't sift this chaff. The trouble is that
governments are run through politics and poll
tics mean axes to grind. Sometimes the grind
ing constitutes Misrepresentation of facts.
Sometimes it's for the public's good; sometimes
it's the public's headache.
Occasionally, the Washington commentator
can apply his secret formula and turn I'D a
little pure gold-but more often he has to de-
liver crushed ore in bulk, with the warning:
Danger. This may be dynamite!' or Here it
is, take it or leave it,
A good many years ago William Howard
Taft and Teddy Roosevelt, old friends political
ly parted ways. Their qarrel was important to
Washington and vital to the history of poll
tics. Yet no commentator, no historian has been
able to ferret cut the facts. And the only two
men who KNEW now are dead.
History repeated itself when FDR and Al
Smith drifted apart. In spite of all the able
Journalistic hunkies who are here to mine the
news, the story behind that chapter may never
be more than a guesser's guess unless the two
principals tell the story as it was.
About That Third Term
All that is no preamble to a story worth re.
coroihs-at present moment anyway-but here's
a MODERN example. An Observation-Disclosures
Democrat whose sincerity is not in doubt went
to some logical lengths to explain, but not
FOR quotes Under what circumstances Presi-
dent Roosevelt would run for a third term.
He KNEW. he said-never mind how-that
the PRESIDENT had made up his mind to run.
