French possessions in the Wes-
tern Hemisphere are again in
the limelight as result of the
North African occupation by u.
S. troops. The strategic posses
sions are st. Pierre and Mique-
lon, islands just south of New
foundland, Martini que and
Guadeloupe in the eastern Car
ibbean, and French Guiana on
the northern coast of South
America. While all have been
the cause of trouble and diplo-
matte dickering, the official po-
sition of the United States today
is that this government will con-
tinue to deal with the local
French officials, ignoring any,
thing that the Laval govern
ment in France may have to say.
u. S. policy is first to safeguard
American interests near these
possessions; second, to protect
them for the French people and
to see that they are not turned
over to any puppet governments
or individuals seeking to exploit
them for private gain.
Most valuable of the posses
sions is Martinique. In the har-
Dor of its capital, Fort de France
are French naval aircraft car

"VICTORY" BACKFIRES

MINNEAPOLIS-"No A card

nan as he lifted the reins' and
informed Victory, his sedate
mare, she could proceed. A few
minutes later, Noonan, so, and
his seven year old passenger,
Francis Seller, were in general
hospital for minor treatment.
Neighborhood youngsters pelt-
ed Victory with sticks and stones
and Victory didn't like it. She
kicked the buggy all apart be-
fore Noonan could quiet her.
II still think driving her will
be lots easier than wrestling
with a ration board for tires and
gasoline so you can quote me
as still being about for Victory"
Noonan averred after the doctors
released him.

. IN HOLLYWOOD

And you have to mention the old
vaudeville star and Eddie Can
tor - her teacher and discov-
erer. 1t happened like this:
Shirley's father, a San Fran
cisco puppetmaker and artist,
was asked by an old vaudeville
star, Lawrence johnson, to make
him a new ventriloquist dummy.
Papa agreed if johnson would
give his daughter few ventril-
oquism lessons. Shirley learned
in four lessons.
That was ID months ago. Six
months later Shirley and Judy
had a sponsored radio program
in San Francisco. Eddie Cantor
auditioned them and immediate
ly signed them to a personal con-
tract. Now they probably will
be seen with the comedian in
