THE question of who owns
L Dorothy Lamour's hair
has become burning issue. 1t
isn't the hair that Dorothy had
left when her famous long locks
were removed, but the tresses
that fell to the floor when she
won the victory to have her
hair bobbed.
She bobbed it for Paramount's
Moon Over Burma" you'll recall.
Instantly the studios publicity de-
partment requested the makeup de-
partment to save the shorn locks;
hey knew that thousands of requests
for a lock of Dorothy's hair would
pour in.
The requests poured, all right. But
when the head of the publicity de-
partment sent for the hair, the
makeup department replied that it
was in the possession of DOrothy's
mother, Mrs. o. L. Castleberry.
Mrs. Castleberry had protested Bit
terly against the shearing, and to
appease her Dorothy had taken her
the long and lovely locks.
Now the question is-does the stu
dio own those locks, or are they the
rightful property of Mrs. Castleber-
~, who refuses to give them up.

SHADES OF TEXAS GUINAN

Hello, suckers" So Texas
Guinan used to greet her guests
in her high-class honky-tonk, where
she sold them champagne which
they knew to be faxed from apple
cider, at prices which they knew to
be multiplied. She fleeced them out
rageously in many other obvious
ways from the moment they gave
their wraps to the hat girl to the in
slant of their departure.
She was rolling them, but made
no effort to conceal that process of
her methods of doing it.
Texas Guinan was tops in invent
ing and putting over attractive
fakes. She gloried in being able to
do that even while laughing openly
at the weakness of their deception
and the incredible gullibility of the
suckers who swallowed them, paid
through the nose for them, and
clamored for more.

GOVERNMENT SPENDING

Some time before the effort to pro-
tect ourselves at a cost of billions,
Assistant Secretary of State Adolf
Berle boldly told the Senate O'Ma-

that increase in federal debt and
taxes would inevitably result in final
federal ownership and operation of
all private property. The job was
one-third complete before the 'na-
tional defense" spending began.
When the new national defense"
taxes and restrictions are fully ap-
piled it will be at least two-thirds.

RUSSIA AGAIN BUYING COTTON
Here is big news for the South.
Soviet Russia is back in the Ameri-
can cotton market.
She already has purchased $4,000
bales, of which $4,000 are en- route
via Vladivostok in Greek ships, and
has indicated the total orders may
run as high as 500,0 900 bales.
To facilitate transportation, the
maritime commission last week
granted sub-charters to Amtorg (the
Soviet trading agency for three U.
S. freighters, the Carleton, Export
and motor ship Excelsior, which will
load the cotton at Houston and Gal
weston.
The last time Russia bought U. S.
cotton was in the early 1905.
Official Russian explanation for
the U. S. purchases is that under the
latest five-year plan, her spinning
equipment is so rapidly expanding
that she needs more cotton than she
produces. According to the Soviet
buyers their spindle capacity will
reach point in 1912 which will re-
quire 40 per cent increase in cot
ton supply.
The matter of possible Russian re-
export of the U. S. cotton to Germa-
ny was one of the subjects dis
cussed by Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles and Soviet Ambas-
sador Oumansky, who gave positive
assurances that the cotton was
strictly for Russian use.
