Whot to do with the core OF an
oppIe hos been answered all too we'll
by housewife Of Huntington Park, in
California. She hos, by admittedly
"rnonkeyino" with the fruit, discovered
a .coreless and seedIess apple. This
may be progress. But is it art? 1t may
be procticoI but it lacks feeling.
And in beginning another chapter
in the history Of fruit, this discovery
ignores the history Of human relations.
Apple seeds have often been seeds OF
friendship. Many great commercial
or political partnership likely grew from
one boys saving the core Of his apple
for another boy. Americans ore more
united people than they might have
been, because oPPles had cores.
The unerotefui boy Of whom Mark
Twain wrote ttot though you hod given
him your core, you could not expect q
similar fovor from him is the exception
in American life.
But even this creature was not SO
merciIess as the announcement from
Huntington Park, which seems to pre-
dict q time when few if any opples will
have hearts; and when even boys who
have hearts will not so soon discover
them. For to ask fellow to save his
core for you takes only little conf
dence in the decency of monkind-ond
he can comply without too much diff
Guilty, thereby earning warm feeling
Of seIf-sotisfooton over his own gen.
crosby. But it takes unbounded oP-
Ionb to ask for port Of an apple that
has no core. And if one isn't even ask
ed, one may neglect to offer.
Perhaps the Huntington Park house,
wife intended her new apple only for
pie-mokine. In the kitchen it could
be boon. But on the way home from
school, or on the corner-Iot boseboII
diamond, or at the old swimming hole,
on apple without O core may prove q
distinct setback in the social Develop

Of Il, that many of the German ersotz
materials are oil right.
We will ProbobIy learn good deo|
about thot ourselves in coming months.
We, too, will find that substitution Of
an accustomed moteriol for on unoc-
customed one doesn't necessarily mean
inferiority. It may, but not necessarily.
So let's not hoIIer before we're hurt.
IL q fomilior orticIe comes up in an un-

its no good. 1t might even be better.

a prominent writer, and told
him to get himself another agent.
Mankiewicz didn't know what
the trouble was but he offered
an apology if he had offended
Selznick in any way. The lat

out and arranged for rival
agent to take over the profitable
account.
Another time. a famous dir
ector asked Selznick to handle
his studio deals. The agent
refused at first but finally &C
copied on one condition: that
throughout the life of their con-
tract the director never would
write, telephone or even speak
to Selznick. The director would
be notified of jobs that were
found for him but otherwise
Selznick didn't want to be both

Will It take q war, with oil its blood
shed and horror, to make US Americans
conscious Of our responsibility tor our
own fire problems? According to the
National Board Of Fire Underwriters,
now celebrating it's 18th anniversary,
America is backward notion, as re-
aords fire prevention and control. Our
overooe citizen has little sense OF res
possibility for conditions in his COM
'rirunity which noy couse the destrue-
tion Of lives and property. He does
not realize that il he and his fellow
countrymen took proper precautions

save enough money to build q Panama

England, in the midst Of war, hos
reused its citizens to the Danger and
the needless expense Of fire. Con we
Americans be reused in time Of peace?
This IS q challenge that all of US must
accept and it is challenge which
is doubly important now, when fire is
an ever-present danger to the swift
development Of the defense program.
Fire is the enemy Of efficiency, Of pro-
ductjon--ond fire is the enemy Of de-
defense. Every fire prevented means

Hollywood, June 23.-Wish
so much activity in the studios
making jobs for many more
players, the talent agents are
so busy and independent as a
movie queen with 20 suitors.
The other day ! happened to
be in an agents office when his
secretary told him that So-and-
So. a well-known actor, was
calling. The one-sided CONVEX
sation that I heard went like
this: ". Yeah yeah. i.

to 60 crazy. If / got you twice
what you're worth, you'd tell
it all over town that I'd sold you
down the river. I wouldn't
handle you. even with tongs."
PROSPERITY POPS UP
When talent peddler talks
like that to prospective client,
you can be sure that prosperity
has come TO Flickerville. In
normal times most agents are
very tolerant of the whims and
walls of the people they rep
resent in business dealings with
the studios. After all, commits
sions of 10 per cent on each
clients salary add up to a sum
that would put almost. anybody
in a good humor.

temperamental as any of the
stars whose careers he manages.

ize that it's a good investment;
that a shrewd and persuasive
representative can get lot
more money for their services
than they ever could win for
themselves.
The agents themselves are not
always very careful about con-
tracts. When Carole Lombard
turned free-lance actress and
was asked by Myron Selznick to
sign a new agreement with him,
she was annoyed by the bewild-
ering, 20-page legal document
he submitted to her.
She decided to teach him a
lesson. A lawyer was hired and
at considerable expense they had
printed another contract form
which looked like the first one
but had few small but vital
changes.
At q little ceremony in his
office, Miss Lombard and SELF
nick signed the new document
the agent without even glanc-
ing at it. His client then bawled
out her representative for his
carelessness and pointed out
that he had made pretty en-
barrassing mistake. Selznick
discovered that he had signed
an agreement to pay 10 per cent
of his own income to Miss Lom-
bard for the privilege of arrang-
ing her movie engagements.

HOW NOT T o PAY.

There hos been much discussion
Of how to finance the defense program.
Equally important is the subject Of
how not to finance defense.
There is small, uniformed group
which still feels thot the cosy way out
is simply for the government to issue
more money-to turn the printing
presses loose, and to pay as we go
with crisp new currency. That would be
the most ruinous course this country
could Toxic. That would be direct in
fiction. The dollar would buy less and
less. Prices would spiral upward with
strengthening momentum. And the
result would be q collapse similar to
that occurring in Germany otter the
first world war, when literoIly billions
of marks we're needed to buy q loaf Of
bread.
There ore others who still believe the
government can follow its old policy
Of forcing more and more Federal sec
urties on the banks. But this, long
enough continued, breeds still another
kind OF infIotion-credit initiation
which in the long run can be disastrous
to q country
j, Whot it. all comes down to is that
thot port Of the defense program which
connot be financed out Of current gov
eminent revenue, must be financed by
borrowing directly from the people.
Thot is why the Treasury is issuing
special defense bonds now-ond why
the notions banks, without profit to
themselves, ore doing everything in
their power to encourage their Pur-
all Of US ore going to have to finance
defence-ond no one else can do it for
US.

Here is one of the hands that
helped the team win the cham
pionship.
After the opening lead, II was
evident to declarer that many
tricks could be developed. The
only problem was to hold off the
diverse spade suit. Stearns,
playing South. went up with the
ace of spades, for If West held
the king, the queen would still
be a second stopper. Then he
knocked out the ace of dia-
monds.
West continued with the nine
of spades. Stearns guessed that
he did not have the king, since
with five spades to the king plus
the ace of diamonds he would
probably have bid one spade
over one heart. The queen of
spades was withheld. East made
the ten and king of spades, then
led the three of clubs. Stearns
went up with the ace to cash
nine tricks in hurry.

match, after the same bidding

ed the five of spades from dunn
my, and East played the six.
West led a second spade, and de-
clarcr tried the finesse. When IL
lost, he was sunk, for the spade
suit was cleared while West still
held the ace Of diamonds.

STORIES .
. IN STAMPS
Nozi Terror Reaches
High in Poland

Of all victims Of German CON-
~ quest, none has been treated
quite so badly as Poland, the first
nation to be ground under the
Nazi military heel.
The stamp above, showing Bel
vedere Palace, was issued in 1888,
10 years after President Isnace
Moscicki came into power and just
a year before the fearful mill
tary onslaught took place.
Up until Poland, Nazi victories
and territorial gains had been
achieved through diplomatic con-
quest. The Poles, however, re-
fused to accede to Hitler's de-
mands and were prepared to re-
sist. u
Actually, the Polish military
campaign took only few weeks.
When Poland had all but fallen,
Russian forces moved in to meet
German troops and Polish terri
tory was later divided between
Russia and Germany.
The Poles were given no SEM
blance Of a voice in their govern
ment, were not even permitted TO
enjoy the few privileges which
later conquered nations were
granted. Although the Poles have,
for hundreds of years, been in
volved in struggles for their free
dom, the Nazis were apparently
determined to crush once and for
all such ambitions, and many
stories Of barbarism and terror
have emansted from Poland since
