HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 10
HUMPHREY BOGART who
IL has played more roles
turned down by other actors
than any player in Hollywood
was reading q new script last
week.
"Hmmmm." he hmmmed to
his wife. Mayo Methot this
can't be much good. NO one ON
the lot turned 10 down"
Some one once said III was
probably n producer that ac-
tors are like children they
don't know what is good for
them.
That point is open 10 debate
particularly by the Actors
Guild But it has been a coin
cidence" that some OF the big
gest individual hits have been
scored by players in roles mixed
by some other mime.
Bogart. for instance. stepped
into High Sierra" when Paul
MUM turned IL down. The pic
ture was box office smash and
inspired an eastern critic 10
comment;
by far the best picture Mum
never made"
And now along comes Tho
Maltese Falcon" a knockout hit
for Bogart, according 10 the pre-
viewers, which was firmly turned
down by George Raft
No wonder Bogie's slogan is
II don't want 10 do II unless
somebody else doesn't"

Once, in a reminiscent mood.
Eddie told me of his sentimental
trip on the little old elevator
up to the Amsterdam Roof
where he started at the top"
with Ziegfeld in the Midnight
Frolics" and worked his way
"down" 10 the "Follies."
At the time OF his return trip.

BRITISH BOTTLENECK

The London announcement that Neville Butler, baldish counselor of the British Embassy, had been pro- noted to the rank of Minister, brought an unwonted gush of en- thuSiasm from Washington officials. But it wasn't what it appeared to be.
 What was being hailed was not Buffers advancement but the hope that it would mean his early de- parture to other fields. Like his namesake, the late Neville Cham berlain, Butler does not sit we'll with Washington authorities.
 A mincing career diplomat, he is as cold and stiff as ice and so stepped in protocol that it takes him a ten-acre lot to turn around. Pri- vately, he is known as "Bottleneck, l" and officials gnash their teeth when they have to do business with him.
 Buffers dilly -dallying is blamed for blocking important negotiations one a plan under which Britain would have contracted for a five year supply of United States fruits and canned goods in exchange for strategic raw materials such as rub Der and tin.

The Fog Dispensers
(NeW York T'imes)

(New York Tmes)
 Fog is the dread of the navigator of ship or an airplane. Will the time ever come when he has but to turn handle and squirt some precipitatng chemical solution into the air or turn loose and elec- trc charge and thus clear the way few hundred yards ahead? Dr. Sverre Petersen, meteorologst of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology holds out hope.
 Visions of arports that will stand out in a mist like oases in murky desert, of lanes cleared of fog to make the passage of the Grand Banks safer than it is now, must yield to the cold facts Long ago the English physicist Aiken showed that a drop of moisture-and fog is composed of droplets- form only around particle of some kind No particles, clouds and no clouds, rain. Hence the efforts to make rain by scattering sandgenerally identification airplanes. The proceeding did no good especially when there were clouds. Meteorolo giStS know that the particles must be hygroscopc. That is, they must absorb water. Young Dr. H. G. Houghton used solutions of sulphur chloride and managed to clear lane 130 feet wide, 30 feet high and 1900 feet long-a remarkable result For him and other fog dispensers it must be said that they under no illusions about the magnitude of their task. They know that they will be lucky if they can clear landing area large enough for an air plane
 Long before the chemical and electrical methods of dispensing fog were suggested experiments were made in England which showed that valley fogs cannot survive wind of only thirteen miles hour But the expense of generating this gentle breeze on large scale is huge that has bothered to blow fog away by fans from an area only quarter of mile square Whether chemicals, electrified sprays of water heat, fans are used, the cost of the energy expendng is dis couraging. Some calculations made by Sir Napier Shaw show that to evaporate fog in only cubic meter of air demands the expenditure of five horse power-hours As the scale of dispersion increases the amounts of energy involved pass beyond the limits of control. To disperse fog so vast an the harbor of New York is at present hopeless

UNITED ON BRITAIN

The tension subsided when the President and O'Neal got to discuss ing aid to Britain. The farm leader proudly related how the Farm Blu feau convention had endorsed the policy of "all-out' aid to the hilt
 There wasn't peep of opposi- tion," O'Neal said T thought some might develop from delegates repre- senting parts of the country reputed to be isolationist, but it didn't"
 Warmly thanking ONeal for his efforts in putting the resolution over, Roosevelt remarked that no one section of the country could be considered isolationist, since each was dependent on the others in pre- serving national security.
 We're getting letters of support from all over the country" he said They're coming ill at the rate of more than 1000 day"

EYES ON THE LEGISLATURE

Juneau is the focus of Territorial attention to- day as the Fifteenth Territorial Legislature gets into harness for a 60-day session.
 For the first few days 1t will pe largely matter of getting organized. selecting temporary and per- manent officers and hiring clerks; for the first few weeks it will be largely matter of getting acquaint ed learning what the gentleman from the Third want in exchange for support of a University of Alaska appropriation for the Fourth and on; for the second month it will be hard work with legislation being ground out slowly, and for the last few days it will be madhouse, with appropriation bill bouncing between House and Senate and all the controversial pieces of legislation being agonzed in night sessions.
 It is exciting to have Legislature with us once again. We don't envy any of Alaskas 16 Rep resentatves and eight Senators their task for the next 50 days. They will earn their money and when they go home they will reap mostly abuse matter how earnestly they strive during their stay in Juneau.
 We wish luck to the 18th. We wish it a record of productive progressive legislation for this great Territory of which all love, matter how may differ to incdentals
 Alaska is watching you, Legislators and wishing you well.

Aeronautics Authority became the Civil Aeronautics Board and turned from independent agency into a branch of the Commerce Department The Weather Bureau left the Agriculture Department for the Commerce Department. The Lighthouse Service was merged with the Coast Guard.
 But the big change, which everyone expected and which most people in Alaska feared, a transfer of the Forest Service from Agriculture to h. terior tentative thrust in this direction was de- feated just before the reorganization powers granted when the late Senator Key Pittman and others obtained agreement from the Adminstra- ton that the Forest Service would not be shifted
 In the message which accompanied his first re- organization plan to Congress the President had something to say about the advisability of later transferring the Forest Service to Interior where conservation agencies being grouped But nothing said about it in second and third reorganization plan which went through Congress with flying colors.
 Now the Presidents powers of reorganization have lapsed. The Forest Service cannot be trans ferred without straight-out fight in Congress It is unlikely that such change will be sought in these parlous times. Congress is too busy with the international situation So is the President
 We hope the plan to switch the Forest Service has died altogether. The agency is doing very well where it is and Alaskans especially would have quams if it to be gathered to MT. Ickes breast,
