I've been knitting on sweater
for over a year. And l decided to
join the ambulance corps, but
didn't. My father and I also
have Victory Garden with
just everything in it, like beans
and squash and lettuce. The
studio took a picture of me for
Victory Garden publicity. I'm
wearing overalls and sitting in
a pile of hay. We don't really
grow hay in the Victory Garden,
but the photographer thought it
would locke nice that way. You
can have one of the pictures.

about this defense business. How
are we doing, do you think?
Aft you mean the country,
we're doing just fine. l have a
brother who's an ensign in the

do you correspond with Donald

Donald Nelson. But as Miss Ma
tional Defense, l did have a date
with a soldier who works in one
of these airplane hearing plac-
es. 1t was arranged through the
USO, and my mother went along.
Q.-Without wishing to be too
personal, Miss Carroll, may l ask
whether you have any advice re-
garding defense to offer other
girls? For instance, have you
ever had a date during a black
out? And what do you do when
an escort suggests parking to
save gasoline and tires?
Any defense against Holly

them. never had to sock man,

war work besides writing let

High|ights from
the Latest Books

Two great lights of modern
fiction blaze out this week as
Lion Feuchtwanger completes
his famous "Josephus" trilogy
with "Josephus and the Emper-
or" Viking: $2.75), and Jules
Romans offers the tenth volume
of the Men of Good Will" series
in THE New Day" (Knopf: So.
The final volume of Joseph
u.s." one of the major contribu-
tons to the joint arts of history
and fiction, follows the great
tradition of its predecessors, the
conflict between emotion and
reason in the mind of the great
Jew Josephus-his wisdom was
feared and respected by the EN-
perors Nero, Titus and Domitian.
This novel twists through in
trigues and adventures in Domi-
tian's court. But the spiritual
conflicts of those days are SINH
lar of today's sorrows, and JOS
ephus was not the last great
Jewish thinker distrusted and
distracted by the egotism Of his
leader and the fanaticism OF
some of his own people.
1.-THE New Day" may not shine
50 brilliantly as some of Ro-
mains other works, but the con-
fused ideologies of the charact-
ers stamps them clearly as pro-
ducts of their times-the cropping
and fumbling of France after
World War l.
This volume tells of the ex-
traordinary effect of the Russian
upheaval that was revolution and
Communism upon group of
people in Paris. Jall.z and Jer-
phantom, familiar characters in
Romans earlier novels. are the
central figures again In THE
New Day." IN integral part OF
the pattern Romans is weaving
in writing what may be when II
il finished the greatest fiction
work Of thAlast 100 years. !.

An interview with Miss Alma
Carroll:
Q-Besides being movie
actress, Miss Carroll, you also
hold the title of Miss National
Defense. How did you win that?
A.-Well, l was just sitting
around the house all last sum-
mer, and one day my mother
said; why don't you do some
thin-enter a beauty contest or
something's" So there was this
contest down at the beach, and
the judges were soldier and a
sailor and a marine, and l put
on a bathing suit and won it.
Q-I see. You weren't wrap
ped in bunting, or in dungarees
and swinging a wrench. Why
do you suppose the contestants
wore bathing suits to Symbolic
military preparedness?
Al don't know, except that
maybe it was to indicate that
things were in pretty good shape.
Q.-You made a tour, ! recall.
What did you do to entertain
people?
A.-Oh, / didn't do anything
they were entertaining me.
There were luncheons and din
ners and dances ano pArades,
and we travelled 5000 miles, all
at the expense of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce,

tract the opening lead was the

partner was not supposed to drop
the queen from Ok, even though
he could ruff the third round.
This rule was based on the fact
that with no hand exposed, the
players had to count on the pos

too costly in one way or another.
In auction bridge days, the

cussed.
Rev. Glow, first speaker, said
1.-THE Negro knows what hurts
part of labor, hurts all labor-the
AFL practices outright refusal of
Negroes in skilled labor; he IS
denied defense jobs and jobs in
which he has given time and ener-
gy in training" The Negro is 10y
al to his country; he feels that now
is the time to fight for rights
he is all out for victory at home
and abroad"
"Is this a white mans war, or a
democratic war where all are to
take part?" was the question ask
ed by Mr.. Kinnon in his opening
remarks. It is most disgusting,
continued the speaker, for man
to train and not be able to secure
a job in the field for which he
has trained-the Negro has been
the greatest sufferer of labor dis
elimination among minorities-his
loyalty is unsurpassed, he has
fought in every war since the
Revolutionary; he stood in front
ranks in World War I; he wants
to do his share in this emergency;
wants to win this war; to preserve
democracy" Mr.. Kinnon paid a
high tribute to A. Phillip Randolph
a great labor leader for his protest
march on Washington in defense
of his people, the Negro.
Dr.. Scruggs said America has
woven the pattern for the think.
