ator LARK, Democrat Idaho, told the
Senate today that the address of
Ambassador William e. Bullitt, pre-
dieting a German attack on the
United States if Great E-Aain is de-
fcatcd, was very little short OF
treason"
Bullitt'S speech, Clark added,
amounted to IAN appeal to the Am
erican people 10 60 into unproVoked
foreign war now for which he says
they are not prepared"
This, he asserted, comes mighty,
mighty close to being false to the
republic which puts him where he
is"
Bullitt, ambassador to France,
made the address yesterday in Phil
adelphia. He asked adoption of con-
scription anG supported aid for the

Joseph Y. Martin opened his Repub-

quarters in Washington few days
ago and did it in very enthusiastic
style.
The fact remains, however, that
experienced G. o. P. workers are
considerably disorganized. It's been
thoroughly advertised that the Demo-
Gratis are badly split up. The Repub-
licanS have been publicized as alb
solutely solid. The truth is that their
party's managerial group isn't as sure
of itself as it pretends to be. 1t isn't
exactly split, but it's uncertain.
To begin with, who's running
Wendell illkie's campaign?
Ostensibly it's Joe Martin, but
some of the insiders suspect that
Oren Root, Jr, really is the boss Of
it.
Now, if it's Joe Martin it's ell

would have hurt. Gables carried
the pleas of Selznick. His British
representative got on the job and
eventually promise is said to have
been exacted whereby the plaintiffs
would hold everything until the pic
ture was released.

and her career continues at the top

Right now, Dave Selznick and the

like to know the answer to those
questions. They're vitally interested

the public won't mind.
The two suits, filed in London by
the husband of Vivien and the wife
Of Laurence Olivier, to whom Vivien
only a few weeks ago announced
her engagement-were no surprise
to Selznick or to Hollywood. They
came just about on schedule.
In fact, Selznick has every reason
to feel gratified that he was able to
halt all the notoriety until Gone
With he Wind" was finished and
fairly well launched on the screens
Of the Nation. The suits could have
been-and almost were-filed at
much more embarrassing and dam
aging time.
Immediately after Vivien followed
Olivier to this country last January,

two divorce suits were prepared in
