 He suddenly smiled "Why- yes!' They were at the nearby drive-in cafe now and he turned to her as he parked. He had a full view of her merry eyes again "Yes, Carolyn. What @ lovely name 1t isl"

 That Mustered her. Her, Carolyn Tyler, who thought herself en- tirely sophisticated about such personal trivial She had to laugh aloud, at herself.
 Its good to relax with you," he went on. You don't act 50 eternally formal, like well like Leana. You know what I mean. And as for names, mine is Bob."

 Not here. Not here, Carolynl I -- pleasel Last night you showed me something. Showed me the great value of relaxing from work. I had almost forgotten. A bit of gaiety, of dancing, of small talk please let that be part of your jobp
 He was SO earnest with his pleading that she was suddenly touched by it. Obviously he was gentle being at heart. They talked for a quarter-hour, rather personally, and she learned or at least deduced easily that Bob's only intimate companion for the past year or so had been the bril- liant Leana Sormi. He all but confessed acute loneliness despite his fame.

POLES

The gay, enchanting musical ssThat Night in Rio" 20th Century { Fox. hit, opened this afternoon at the popular Loew Poli Theater for an engagement of four days. Record crowds were on hand early to see this Technicolor film starring Alice Faye, Don Ameche and Carmen ! Miranda.
 ( "That Night In Rio" has an en- | tertaining story set to catchy tunes. Featuring the singing of all three stars, the music is South American in tempo, but universal in appeal. < Among the songs which highlight 1, the picture are "I'yi. VI, VI, VI !" "Chica, Chica, Boom, Chic," Boa Noite" Good Night, "They Met Tn Rio" and "The Baron Is Tn Con- ference"--all of which were written by Mack Gordon and Hary Warren.
 Interspersed with the engaging , dance sequences which sparkle in the spectacular Technicolor, is the story of an American night club en- tertainer who closely resembles a Brazilian Baron. Don Ameche por- frays the difficult dual role, and as the critics have stated, his attempts to deceive Alice Faye (the Baron's Wdfe) and Carmen Miranda (the entertainers girl friend) prove hil- @rious.
 Featured in the all-star cast are 6. 2. Sakall, J. Carol Naish, Curt Bois and Leonid Kinskey.

DELANEY GETS CURIOUS
CHAPTER V

Unanswered questions in the minC of Mir. Spud Delaney, substitute driver for the Metropolitan Trans fer Company, nagged at his curios- ity for a full half hour while he edged his truck in and out of the city's trafflc. Technically he should have taken the truck route down commerce street, which would have been faster, but this was midnight and by going straight through town he could stop over by the furniture factory and have late beer with Red Cragin. It was only 30 miles to the farmhouse anyway, so why worry?
 He pulled up in front of Cragin's aRed Spot, which was just shanty saloon catering to factory workers by day and chance motorists by night. The place would have been closed for lack of business except that Red also slept there. Red was willing to chin with Spud Delaney They had more than one beer; at least Spud did.
 It was past 1 when Spud left Reds bar, singing. He was not drunk he was too smart to get drunk on any driving job-but he wasn't depressed, either. He had a good new cigar, on Red. He climbed up to his truck cab and turned to face Red again.
 "Red, got the nuttiest load l ever heard of," he declared sar- castically. Big as my two fists, eettin' on cotton"
 What is it?"
 "Hell, they ain't told me! A two- ton truck and a two-bit package. Heavy, though. I hefted 1t. Co., ing to farmer.
 "Want to see it?" Spud swung down from the cab opened Q side truck.
 He had his cigar between his fingers and he gestured with 1t at the parcel. Red stepped up to see and Spud snapped on an in- terior light. Red pushed the thing tentatively with his foot. "Manl" breathed Red. "You wasn't joking when you said ineavy! But 1t can't be 100 pounds Why you and this big buggy?"
 T don't get 1t. They paid me. bds all I know"
 "Yeah?"
 "Yeah. Paid plenty" "Hmmm. Well, it's just tied Not eealed!"
 The hint was enough. Arrogant MT. 6pud Delaney bit his cigai again and, pufflng, united the tiny parcel on the truck floor. Red watched.

Nazi Action
 In Argentina Meets Rebuff

BUENOS AIRES, Argentine - Latin American action against Nazi influence in the Western Hemisphere increased today as two German diplomats were shown that their doorsteps point home and a third is under fire with a fourth note for hampering anti-Axis cooperation with the United States.
 Although Mexico has rejected the German request that she pro- test to President Roosevelt over the blacklist of pro-Axis isms in Latin America, diplomatic quar- ters in Buenos Aires said Argen tina intended to withhold sup port to the U. s. black list.
 Chic, which is housing busted German Minister to Bolivia, Err nest Wendler, until a Japanese ship arrives to take him away, ordered the German Consul Gen eral at Valparaiso out of the coun try for the second time. Wend- Ter is accused of complicity in plans for Bolivian putsch.
 Chile charged the Consul Gen. eral with falsifying passports to help crewmen of the scuttled bat tleship Admiral Graf Spec escape internment in Argentina. He has overstayed the time originally allotted him to wind up his af- fairs.
 In Argentina the Foreign Office after answering repeated Ger man protests of the seizure of a portable radio transmitter car ried in plane from the German Legation in Peru to the German Embassy in Argentina as "dip- lomatic outrage" suddenly de- manded the Germans either re- export the set or destroy it.

Wartime
 Advertising

British government depart ments have spent for newspaper and poster advertising a total of 2,563.800 pounds since the start of the war in September, 1889, says the Worlds Press News of London for June 19. The informa tion came in response to re- quest by Lady Astor in Parlia- ment for full data on the govern ment's publicity and public rela- tions activities. The largest de- partmental expenditures were for the National Savings com paign the Food campaign, and a series by the Ministry of Informa tion, the total of these three hav- ing been more than 1,600,000 pounds.
 The Parliamentary answers gave no information as to the ef fectiVeness of the advertising. but the success of the British war finance and food-rationing efforts to date should indicate that the advertising did the job expected of it.
 The use of advertising by the British has been continuous since the wars beginning. It has not been subsidy to newspapers la boring under unimaginable di- faculties. It has been advertis- ing directed to purposes as spec fife as any peace-time sales eff fort, and the total amount spent in nearly two years represents about onesixth of the total daily cost of the war to the British people.
 Advertising proved in the last war it can be among the most formidable weapons of any na- tion, especially any democratic nation.-Editor and Publisher.

Current Comments From Washington

Probably the Washington mon- ument, rising 555 feet above the level of the Potomac plain,
 would be quite as impressive if it's aluminium cap piece were re- placed by one of copper. It might even get along with no cap at all. Yet the suggestion that the metal be put to war uses, points to a state of mind that can be designated as stopping over" During the American Rev olution, a leaden statue of King George was melted down and cast into bullets. The country is far from being reduced to such an extremity in 1941. Sound judgement calls for every sane effort to put Hitler where he be- longs; but it summons the citl- zen to refrain from any act tend ing to make it appear that the Nazi sowing of the seeds of fear is bringing forth the desired har- vest on this side of the Atlantic.
