Hollywood Sights And Sounds
 -Bv Robbin Coons -
By Robbin Coons

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, April g. - Sam Wood, large, tweedy though not in tweeds, pipe kind of man though not smoking, was pacing the floor of his wood-paneled office and putting his finger on some thing wrong with the movies.
 Casting" he said. "Too many pictures are handicapped in their chance for success by improper casting people who think any actor can play any role. It's false idea, and it hurts a great many pictures
 He cited two recent films of his own in which casting the right people. in the right spots mattered l tremendously: Tn Kitty Foyle l thought Dennis Morgan and James Craig were ideal for their parts. l couldn't see Robert Cummings in either of those roles, and I couldn't use him at all in the picture. Then I did The Devil and Miss Jones. The boy here had to have a certain gay youthful quality. He's fight ing for the underdogs in the de- partment store, and he has to do it in a gay, youthful manner-not as if he were veteran labor or ganizer. I couldn't see Morgan or Craig here, but I was practically on my knees to get Cummings. I got him. .
 For the Kitty Foyle' prologue, entirely in pantomime, I had to have exactly the right people or the point was lost. couldn't use just anybody who happened to be under contract. I needed actors who could put over the scenes on their personalities and ability to hold attention. got Heather Angel and Tyler Brooke, and it cost us money, but I think it was worth it. Why ruin picture and cut down it's gross-to save few hundred dollars? Here the players were bigger than the parts they played they did it be- cause personally pleaded my case with them"
 Sam Wood thinks, he said, that Hollywood could take profitable note of the English attitude to- ward roles. In casting Goodbye,

Home Production
 Economy

Heading into another sub-Arc- tic winter, Alaskans will make no mistake in availing themselv- es of every opportunity to stock their larders with as large pro- portion of home products as pos sible.
 Facing a steady upward trend in prices of supplies of all kinds doubtful outlook as to deliveries from Outside sources, uncertain ties as to available shipping ton mage and possible other hand caps that may arise from the in ternational crisis, every com rnunity may well prepare to make itself as fully self sufficient as possible.
 Old Mother Nature has made it possible for thrifty house. wives and others interested in domestic economy to profit lm- measurably by garnering from her wealth of products from farms, fields, streams and the hills in this region.
 Bountiful crops, wild berries and salmon and other fish are available, and for the next few weeks of the season is at its height for acquiring, storing, pre- serving and canning such as the country affords.
 Those who take advantage of the opportunities cannot lose and will likely avert a lot of embar- Tassment and escape greatly in- creased costs that may confront the improvident before another season.

Private Enterprise Depends
 On Service to The Customer Declares Schenley Chairman

NEW YORK - Topreserve pri vate enterprise, business must recognize that the consumer is the boss, and that the era is one of service to the consti ner." Lewis S. Rosenstiel, chairman of the board of Schenley Distillers corporation, told representatives of his company from B states at tending conference here re- gently.
 Tn order that private enter prise may prevail, the industry cannot and should not permit its merchandise to be priced to the consumer at such figures as would make the system of pri- Vate enterprise detrimental to th epuolic enterest,' he contin- ued. We are urging favorable reception of the minimum and maximum mark-up principle for the liquor industry in order that turnover may be accomplished, so that the consumer may be sat isfied and private enterprise may be preserved"
 He emphasized that in advocat ing a policy of serving the con- sumer, he did not imply an op- position to fair trade contracts.
 We take the position that where state is operating under a monopoly, the state being the only customer of our company, it is not our province to attempt to propagandize a change in dis tribution methods, and our com pany does not do so," he said. On the other hand, where a state is now in private enterprise our company's policy is to do ev- erything in its power to keep it so."

WASHINGTON CURRENT COMMENT

History can make pretty dry reading. but since the future will have to toll through the huge store of historical material that is being piled up at the present time, perhaps we should be will ing to take a hurried backward look at the Germans. Like it or not, they are of prime although unsavory importance In a good many respects. they have not changed greatly in fifteen hun dred years.
 Julius Caesar put out what may be called the first travelog in Germany, about the year 50. He found the Germans rough GUS toners It may be remarked that it would have been poor policy for him to betlittle them as fight CTS, because his letters or com mentaries were being read back home in Rome, and he wished to further the impression that, as to his opponents, the larger they were, the harded they fell. The severe weather of northern Ger many had toughened them. A snowfall of a foot was not a cal amity to an ancient German Army. It was just matter of wading barelegged through snow up to the knees, instead of ankle deep. He recorded that they bath ed in the coldest rivers. No doubt they went into chilly streams. and divided their time between military duties and pushing ice cakes out of the way; but the statement about bathing probab ly should be set aside as Ro- man misconception regarding the

 'ations that should exist be- tween water and the human body.
 Taking it all in all, Caeser did not exaggerate greatly, one may well believe. The people swith whom he had to deal were a sturdy and two-fisted lot. They were fierce, joyful in battle, strong on plunder, and liked to wander, looking for trouble, and ready to manufacture it when the supply ran short.
 In a modern army, like that of the United States, a young man of Polish extraction, hail ing from Pennsylvania, is likely to find himself shoulder shoulder with doughboy from the noun tainS of Tennessee. Time and en- ergy will be wasted in building up a community of interest and reaching a mutual point of view. An ancient German nation might consist of fifty villages, each subdivided into groups call ed hundreds" Practically speak ing, everybody in the army knew everybody else therein. This, also promoted god soldiership
 It was to the south about the Mediterranean Sea, that the best people" dwelt They had ben accustomed to easy living for long time and were begin ming to get soft and out of train ing. Add to that fact the circum- stances that the pickings were good in the region, and it is easy to see why the eGrmanS began 10 work toward the South.
 The earlier of the invaders made a mistake. If it had not been corrected later, there would be no Nazi menace and no blitz krieg today. When they left the Ncrthland, they cut loose from old associations, and went about the serious business of making new home in a foreign land, as a severed group. Their posi- tion was something like that of the Americans who crossed the plains in the forties. Aside from sentiment, the ties between the d home in Massachusetts and the new one in California ceased to be very strong. The vigor of the American pioneers was en- chanted by the change, since life was harder in the West than in the East. The earlier German out wanderers settled down to re- faxed way of living. They were absorbed, and ceased to be Ger mans.
 Somewhere about 500 A.D., the German Franks began to reach out. They did not break connec- tion with the old land, but simply employed it as base, from which they operated westward, to the coast of what is now France. Wherever they went, they main tained contact with those whom they left behind. The Franks did not permit themselves to be ab- sorbed. They laid the foundation for the theory that wherever Germans go, that place is a part of Germany.
 Hitler is following course that has nothing of novelty in it. Leafing over the pages of history, he has reached the conclusion that the system of the barbarians IS good enough for him. The body has grown. Hitler has garb ed it in new rainment and trick ed it out in modern jewelry: but the spirit remains that of the Dark Ages.
