Lothian In States Press

The Asheville Times is prophetic in its COM
ment on the death of Phillip Henry Kerr, 18th
Marques of Lothian, and ambassador OF Great
Britain to the United States.
life in the midst Of his arduous exertions for
Strengthening all Great Britain's resources as
she fights on in one of the epochal battles of
the ages. But he lived to see the tide turn"
We can only hope that the Times speaks
with the authority of the son of a prophet.
His wise council continues this newspaper,
and his intimate knowledge Of his country's
needs will be missed in the present conferences
over credits for Britain, but lin the proper
way and at the proper time, the credits which
Lord Lothian somewhat abruptly threw into
our national debate a few weeks ago will be
supplied" Again, it is to be hoped the Times
has the correct vision of the future.
The Burlington Times-News believes: ITO
him Gothian) must 60 much of the credit for
the help the United States is giving Great
Britain. . Strangely . his death occurred
at an hour when his nation is getting the first
major breaks in the war in Egypt"
The Charlotte Observer says of the diplo-
mat whose sudden death shocked both Eng
land and the United States:
Lord Lothian was a typical English dip
lomat of the perfectionist pattern, fitted
by temperament for such a career, and
qualified by experience and knowledge of
Anglo-American unities for effective serv-
ice.
Although brutally frank and fact-finding
in his duties, he was never brusque or
stubborn or unapproachable. On the con-
trary, he was easy to find in the midst
of the restraints and dignities Of his high
diplomatic environment and pleasant, at
fable and magnetic in his contacts and
conversations.
The Durham Herald is rather more severe
In its estimate Of his prusqueness. But it does
not underestimate his services as an envoy.
It says:
On occasions he has made what some
Americans have called impairment state
ments and aroused criticism some believed
a more diplomatic diplomat could have
and should have avoided.
But by and large, Lord Lothian's state
ments and acts have helped to clarity,
rationalize, and cement Anglo-American
relations, and since that is the prime func-
ton of ambassadors, he must be ranked
as a successful ambassador.
The Raleigh News and Observer believes his
death creates a vacancy which it will be diff
ficult for the British government to fill at this
time" But it expands its comment by refer
ring to reports that Anthony Eden is consid-
cred among the eligibles for his post. The
News and Observer has this to say:
During the is months that he served his
government in this country, Lord Lothian
proved himself an able and effective rep.
resentative, with an understanding of the
American people.
The British government is sensible to
the Importance of the vacancy as indicated
by the fact that among those mentioned
for the post is one so widely and well
known in America as Sir Anthony Eden.
former Foreign Secretary and now Min.
lister of War in the British cabinet.

Hollywood Sights and Sounds
BY ROBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 15.-This
town is funny enought sd it is, but il
would be a WOW if the people in it
lived up to the illusions they pro-
ject on the screen.
Let's take a stroll down Holly
wood boulevard and ogle a few of
the passers-by. The ogling will
have to be imaginary, because &C.
tually if you stroll down the self
styled most famous street in the
world you probably wouldn't see a
celebrity of any kind, or recognize
1t if you did. You'd see a lot of
strange sights "a bearded, half
clad hermit" perhaps, women in
Stacks, long-haired men in smocks
along with the ordinary, every
day people who just happen to live
here and aren't trying to attract
attention.
Our boulevard Of the screen-fos-
tered Imagination is not, of course,
the prosaic street of actuality. It
is rather a bright, bizarre, excit-
ing "street set right out of a
Busby Berkeley musical night
mare. The shops are ultra, except
for blocks Of darkness and sinister
alleys and dives.
Here we go. Who's that feath-
cred, emaciated dame swinging
along the street with no place to

eop! Well, she's turning into a
olve. In a minute now she's sit
ing on a table, singing a husky,
