HENED
BY HAMLET
Meredith liked movies from the
beginning but when he finally was
able TO return he found himself in
demand only from dreamy dra-
matte roles. The young radical
in idiots Delight" was a horrible
example. Producers somehow
couldn't believe that he had done
comedy on the stage.
Naturally he relished his role in
"of Mice and Men" but afterward
he was appalled, when some en-
thusiast tabled him the Hamlet
of 1870" The phrase was repeat
ed until the actor felt he ought to
have "Hamlet-1e40" lettered on
sweater like a collegian.
Gradually. perhaps through the
missionary work of people who
had been to parties at the amaz-
ing menage maintained by Mer-
edith and Franchot Tone. Holly
wood began to understand that
Buzz did something besides stew
about social injustices and the
fate Of civilization. and that he
could be a. goofy a. any local
character.
So he went into Second Chorus"
and into That Uncertain Feel
ing" both in zany parts. And
now as a lazy and philosophical
screwball. he has the third title
role in Tom, Dick and Harry"

Carson Ksnin.
FUN ON

Other evening when Buddy Eb-
sen began Dragging about the in

had organized at the studio. Mer-
edith impulsively challenged for a
game the next night. Meredith
up at the field with a team
Of girls. champions Of a local
league, whom he had hired at IS
each and a fancy dinner at the
Brown Derby. Anything for
rib.
For a year or 20 he has been
living at Jimmy Stewards house.
When the corporal was about TO
come home on leave recently.
Meredith prepared a welcome. He
strung a banner across the house
announcing 1t as headquarters of
the Peace-At-Any-Price associa-
ton. and then he hired a lot of
ragged. unshaven extras to lounge
on the lawn.
Meredith even ribbed the studio
press agents who had trumped up
a lot Of hoopla about how the last
pages of the tom, Dick and
Harry" script had been sealed up
and none of the three leading men
would know until the last day
which one would win the girl.
Buzz Meredith launched a whirl-
wind courtship Of Miss Rogers
Immediately and kept IT for

Arizona Range,
Livestock Report

PHOENIX, Mar. 81 - Arizona
range conditions are improving
daily under the influence of con-
tinued precipitation and relatively
high temperatures. Water supplies
are ample. and practically no sup
Elementary feeding is necessary.
Shearing is well under way, with
wool selling about as fast as shorn.
RANGES
Natural conditions on Arizona
ranges were almost ideal during the
past month.
Range feed is growing in all Sec
tions of the state, with an excellent
outlook for an abundance of spring
feed.
CATTLE
Cattle in some sections have
drawn slightly during the past
month; however, over the state as
whole the average condition has
improved. Cattle have drawn as
result of the combination of natural
conditions. Even where there is
good stand of old feed, such feed,
following continuous rainfall as we
have just been having, turns rath-
er washy and unpalatable. When
this condition occurs, cattle will
start looking for green feed, which
is not present in sufficient amounts,
and as a result will draw them
selves going from one point to an
other for the few bites of green feed
available. However, even where
cattle have drawn, new feed is now
present in sufficient quantities that
cattle should make early and mark
ed recovery.
Calves are coming early. Growers
express expectation of an unusual
ly heavy calf crop, some reporting
that 65 percent crop has already
been attained. This is an unusual
ly early crop.
AS result Of the feed which has
developed on the deserts and in
the foothills. a good many thou
sand hsad of cattle have left the
pastures of the irrigated valleys to
be moved onto this range feed.
Few cattle are for sale on the
ranges at this time, but there is
considerable speculative dealing in
animals previously purchased. Cat
tie condition showed an increase of
3 percent during the month, being
reported at 80 percent. One year
ago the condition was 81 percent,
and the ten-year average is 81 per-
cent.
Nogales international., 1941-03-22

New York (SpeciaD All Eu-
rope is on short rations. Only tiny
Portugal still commands normal
food supply. Before the first OF
the next harvests can be reaped,
FIVE months must elapse. In some
countries, remaining food stocks
will have been exhausted long
before, when conditions of slow
starvation which already exist
will become actual famine. More
over, in several European coun-
tries the harvest covers only a
few months consumption. M
The above map has been drawn
to bring the threatened areas into
relief. As may be seen at glance,
the British Isles, Germany. Italy
and the Balkans, although all on
rations, are not in danger. But the
little, western democracies, always
dependent on overseas supplies
and now cut off by the blockade,
are already on a semi-starvation
basis.
Darkest, immediate spots in the
picture are Belgium and Poland
(the latter because Of war devas-
tation and partitioning). Here,
actual famine already prevails.
People are dying of sheer hunger.
But Spain, France, Holland, Nor
Nogales international., 1941-03-22

way and Finland are not far be-
hind. The above map will now
darken quickly from month to
month. The terrible food emer-
gency in Europe, so long forecast
by food experts. is now but step
away.
Spain may be able to get some
help from the, Argentine. In the
case of the other countries, how
ever, their main hope seems to be
the United States. Like the Ar
gentine, the. United States not
only holds large, surplus carry
overs of foodstuffs of which it
would be glad to get rid, but each
one of these starving countries
holds in this country frozen dol
lar balances ample to pay for the
food they need. Belgium, alone,
has several hundred million dol
lars in assets here. It is then pri-
marily a question whether it can
be arranged to pass this food
through the blockade if, at the
European end, it can be taken in
control by tight, neutral agency
which will supervise it's distribu-
ton to acknowledgement, civilian
populations only-and guaran-
tee that il will not fall into other
hands.
