Student Boasts
| II Brothers
And Sisters

When Richard Akeley, 22-year-
old graduate student at the Uni
versity of Maryland, wants to check
up on his brothers and sisters-all
II Of them-he takes a look in his
little black book.
In it he keeps their full names
and birthdays; the rest he man
ages to retain in his head.
Here are a few of the more COM
plicated items of information that
Mr.. Akeley was able to produce in
the midst of a cram session before
an examination for his masters de-
gree in agricultural economics.
His father, George w. Akeley, 30
year-old retired farmer, is the
father of two sons and two daugh-
tiers by a first marriage and six
daughters and eight sons by his
second wife.
The ages of the various children
range from 18-year-old Barbara
Akeley of Presque Island. Me. the
family's home town, to 53-year-old
Henry Akeley of Mapleton, Me.
In addition Barbara and the
grandson of her half-brother,
Henry Akeley, are schoolmates at
the Presque Isle High School.
There has never been a complete
family reunion and Mr.. Akeley has
a half brother and half sister whom
he has never seen. Others he has
met only three or four times in his
life.

Army Troinees
ToGet Taste of
Noisy Realism

The War Department today d.
rected all commanders TO inject
noisy realism" into the training OF
the Nations citizen Army OF nearly
l 100000 men so as to prepare their
ears and nerves for "the first shock
Of battle"
Introduction Of realistic" fea-
lures was directed for the training
Of small units.
Commanders were notified that
they must realize that the first en-
gagement in combat will be a critical
occasion for new troops and that
they must prepare personnel to be-
come accustomed to "the shock Of
hostile fire and to the perve-wrack-
ing sights and sounds of combat"
To conserve ammunition, but simu-
late battle conditions, the War De-
partment recommended the use of
klaxons to produce battle noises,
rattles to represent small arms fire,
a suspended metal bar struck with
hammer to simulate artillery,
blank ammunition, smoke charges,
INT. blocks or appropriate SUBJ
StituteS and tear gas.

Export Data 10 Drop
Destination 10 Prevent
Aid 10 Axis
Commerce Department
To Avoid Tips to
TotuIituriun Foes
BY OLIVER MCKEE.

As q defense move designed to
prevent Axis agents from gaining
access to valuable economic infor-
nation, the Commerce Department
will no longer make public the des-
tinations Of United States exports,
1t became known today. The step
was taken at the request of the State
Department and national defense
agencies, it was indicated.
In addition to total exports by
value and volume, the departments
monthly tabulations show the coun-
tries of destination for most Of the
important commodities shipped
abroad. These statistics reveal the
changes in the geographical pat
terms and trends in foreign trade,
and also reveal, at glance, any abb
normal movements in the flow of ex-
ports.
Commerce Department statistics
on aircraft exports several months
ago disclosed large shipments Of
airplanes to West Africa. These
figures plainly indicated that sub
stantial part of airplane shipments
to the British Empire were going to
Africa presumably for use by the
army Of Sir Archibald Wavell. Fol-
lowing this disclosure of informa-
ton Of possible value to the Axis
general staff the department de-
cided to withhold information there
after on the destinations of aircraft
shipped to the British Empire.
The department will continue to
publish figures on the total volume
Of our export trade.
Detailed information on the trends
in American exports might be val
liable to the Axis in three ways, Of
ficialS pointed out. First, in reveal
ing the destinations of shipments of
military materials, and the amounts
which individual countries are re-
ceiving; second, in disclosing the
extent to which the United States is
applying economic pressure against
the Axis and its friends; third, in
giving Axis business firms. particu-
larry those with representatives in
Latin America, information showing
the type of goods and the amount of
merchandise shipped by the United
States to individual countries.
Though it will not publish destina-
lions of exports, the department will
continue to tabulate these statistics.
and they may possibly be available
for examination by those with proper
credentials, it was indicated. No
change in the publication of sta
tistics on imports is contemplated
at present.

District ConcIuve

Likelihood Of this country enter
ing the war in the near future was
expressed by DR.. Gordon Palmer of
Philadelphia in an address last night
at the Congress Heights Baptist
Church, marking the close of the
semi-annual meeting Of the District
of Columbia Baptist Convention.
War, he said, is not going to solve
our problems. Only when the lead
ers of the world return to God will
we be in a lasting peace, the presi-
dent of the Eastern Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary declared.
Recalls Proclamation.
at looks as if nothing is going to
keep us from getting into war;" DR..
Palmer asserted, as he recalled Pres
Ident Roosevelt's Tuesday night
proclamation of an unlimited emer-
gency.
Pointing out that a nation is
doomed when it forsakes God, the
theologian declared:
There is trouble in Europe be-
cause the leaders of these countries
are not pure in heart"
DR.. Palmer said 1t would not be a
bad idea to use some OF the Com
munistic methods to combat evil in
the world, on a fighting-fire-with-
fire basis.
Vote $1,000 for Church.
Men, not machines. remain su-
preme in this machine age, the
speaker maintained, adding: God
didn't send us Christ to die for
machines, but for men,"
Earlier in the day, delegates
voted to appropriate 5000 to the
Chevy Chase Baptist Church for
its new building program. An
afternoon session was devoted to
reports on a world program for
Baptists of the northern and SOUTH
ern conventions.

Mary Aston
Chi1d's
Life Normal
Movie Star Ideas
Arise Only to Be
Torn Right Down
BY HUBBARD KEAVY,
Associated Press Staff Writer.

HOLLYWOOD.
Can child who spends time
with each of her divorced parents,
whose mother is movie famous and
remarked, lead anything resembling
a normal life?
Mary Aston believes the answer
is yes. She hopes that her eight
year-old daughter, Marylyn Thorpe,
will grow up as normally as yours
or mine, but her objective is not an
easy one. Mary is constantly
forced to overcome obstacles that
never confront the average mother.
Marylyn Thorpe is the baby for
whom Mary Aston was willing to
risk her movie future and perhaps
even her happiness, thereby earning
the admiration Of millions Of
mothers. Mary's fight for her child
threatened to produce unequaled
sensations, but she was willing to
face them, no matter the cost, to
regain custody of her baby. In
the playwrights lexicon, it was
mother-love drama at its peak.
Obstacles now facing Mary are
comparatively slight but to her
nonetheless important.
Marylyn spends week ends and
summer vacations with her father,
DR.. FRANKLIN Thorpe. On week days,
Marylyn is her mothers girl and
Manuel Del Campo is her father.
Marylyn is too young to realize
what it's all about. She frequently
is puzzled by the changes of resi-
dence, changes which require tact
full explanations.
Having the child live here and
then there is the most disagreeable
part of divorce" Mary said.
Gets "Star" Ideas.
Brown-haired, brown-eyed Mary
lyn likes Del Campo and the affec-
ton is returned. And Marylyn
adores her year-and-a-half -old
brother, Tono Del Campo. Once
she wondered why Tono couldn't
week end with her and her father.
Mary carefully explained. Marylyn
appeared satisfied, but the question
Is certain to come up again.
"Marylyn is always getting movie
star ideas that have to be torn
down." her mother said. IT sent
her to private school, but I took
her out the very day she came home
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-05-29

and asked, Mommy, why can't I
have a bodyguard too?'"
The children Of Movie Producer
Daryl Zanuck, who attended the
same school, apparently were body
guarded and still are while attending
public school, Mary believes that
is how Marylyn got the notion.
Private schools make snobs OF
children. There's nothing worse
than snobbish CULINARY shifted
land I won't have one around"
Marylyn attended public school for
awhile, but now goes to Catholic
school.
A Bombshell Burst.
Marylyn was only four when her
mother went to court to break an
order obtained by DR.. Thorpe. when
he divorced Miss Aston in 1885,
giving him complete custody of
Marylyn.
In her affidavit, Mary said her
husband had coerced her into CIV
ing him custody by threatening her
with a scandal that would ruin her
career.
The custody case went to trial and
a bombshell burst when Thropes
attorneys introduced Marys diary,
an intimate, 220-page document.
they said, in support of Thorpe's
contention that Mary was not At
to have even partial custody of her
child.
The diary, Mary wrote in it, "is
my one and only friend" Thorpe's
lawyers described it as the love life
of movie star, and they threat
ened to open it and introduce 1t,
page by page.
The judge, thinking of the little
pawn, called counsel into his cham
bers.
A platoon of attorneys, including
one representing an alarmed mo-
ton picture industry, settled the
case in chambers. And the diary
was impounded for all time by the
court.
After that fight, Marylyn is some
thing special in her mothers eyes.
Just Like Other Hands.
But she doesn't want Marylyn
regarded by others, because she
happens TO be an actress daughter,
as something special
Marylyn was the object Of con-
siderable interest when she first
went to the parochial school. Her
playmates wanted to know what her
mother was like, they asked for
photographs and autographs and,
even, passes to pictures her mother
was in.
"Marylyn brought this home and
began to wonder If mightnt be q
little different from other mothers"
said Mary, laughing about 1t. "Once
when she saw me planting some
bulbs, she said, movie stars
shouldn't get their hands dirty I
said and why not? Movie stars
hands are just like any others"
Marylyn was learning much about
her mother as an actress until the
principal of the school, at Mary's
request, told the children in
Marylyn's room that movie people
work like any one else, that they
only seem different because they
are seen oftener. She asked them
not to regard one of their class
mates "as unusual because her
mother works in the movies"
That settled it." Mary said.
"Marylyn's just one of the kids now.
I hope she stays that way"
