OF Count
And Lobsters

NEW YORK = Co = When
Count Basie's boys were playing
date in Millburo, Delaware, recent
ly. Freddie Green, Buster Scott and
Dickie Wells went lobster potting.
When they came back, tley had
caught some, and put them on the
piano. Then they moved the buck
ct to the floor, behind the piano.
Later, Basic noticed Jimmy Rush
ing, singer with the band, eyeing
his shoes with interest. Of course,
one of the real big Holsters was ly-.
ing on Counts shoe, perfectly con-
tended. The Count did a fast kick
ing act which landed the thing
in tenor saxman Buddy Tate's lap.
This broke the sax section up for a
good fifteen minutes.
Then Basic found that the exer-
ton had busted his suspenders.
Half an hour later the lobster got
loose again. Basic had to run across
the platf I'm, pushing off the lob-
ster with one hand and grabbing
his pants with the other. Then, to
add to the misery, he fell flat on
his face over one of the stands.

Rochester Was
Bdrryrnore's
Last Visitor
Comedian Is
Saddened by His
Friends Death
By HARRY LEVETTE

LOS ANGELES-(A N P)-- Eddie
Rochester anderson was the
last person to hold the hand of
John Barrymore, internationally
famous stage and screen star, a few
minutes before he died last Fri
day night at Hollywood hospital
Rochester, whose fame as
featured screen and radio star is
also great, had come to the hospital
to visit the bedside where Barry
more had been confined for sew
eral weeks with a general break
down. A staunch friendship had
grown between the two, dating
back to when Barrymore, ever a
lover Of colored night spots, used
to visit the old 'Humming Bird"
on East 18th street, which in the
Roaring Twenties" was the heart
of the colored district. Eddie, fea
turing al eccentric song and dance,
was one of the entertainers there.
AS if on a premonitiOn that this
would be his last time to see his
old friend, WHO while already noted
had encouraged and enjoyed chat
ting with the then unknown An
dersOn, he postponed Other en-
gagements and although tired from
visiting the ranch he plans pur-
chasing, drove to the hospital The
nurse politely admitted Rochester
and a friend who had accompanied
him to the private suite of the
sick, but still conscious man.
His typical humor and cheerful
ness evident even though hospital
attendants had long felt that he
could not recover, he smiled as
Rochester approached his bedside
and feebly held out his hand
Hold my hand, Eddie" he said.
|"Glad to see you. Listen" he
whispered, "they won't let me have
even a little llighball .
Anderson knew that Barrymore
had been forbidden any kind of al
coholic stimulant during the hard
battle the physicians were waging
to try to save him SO he shook his
head at the stricken mans request
that he bring him zone little
drink please" Meanwhile kilograms
and messages were pouring in from
all over the world the nurses piling
them on the table until such time
as they could be read to him on
the morrow.
TOMORROW NEVER CAME
Included were wires from George
M. Cohan, Cissie Lotus, Monte
Blue and others. But The morrow
never came for ''the great profile. :"
When his hand fell Imply from
ROchester's the colored star
thought he was falling asleep and
he and his friend tip-toed softly
out just as a nurse came in. They
stood for while just outside the
door, but in a few minutes the
nurse came back outside. "Is there
anything we can do before we go,
nurse" asked Rochester. To his
great surprise she answered very
softly, mo, I am sorry to say, Mr..
Barrymore has just passed" She
hurried down the hall to make her
official report and the two colOred
visitors walked sadly away.
| "A fine man, a fine man, I am so
sorry" Rochester kept repeating,
and at once phoned to have his

There is one factor in present situation and our

some comment. In the ten years from 1882 TO 1o41.

whether he be garage man, grocer or a manufac-
turer will admit that to go ahead borrowing and
spending money for improvements when operat-
ing at loss involves difficult problems and takes
courage. The tremendous sums we have spent for
improvements and equipment now stand Southern
Pacific and the Pacific Coast in good stead, when
locomotives and cars and trackage are so important

Here is where the bottleneck ap-

Part of the delay was explained

delivered aviation gasoline to the
Italian transatlantic line operating
to Brazil. This was before United
States entry into the war.
Mr.. Arnold said the committee
was told that Standard had not
licensed the Japanese to make gaso-
line by the hydrogenation process.
Il did not charge that they did"
he said, but full disclosure by
Standard would compel it to inform
this committee that Standards so
per cent-owned subsidiary did
license the Japanese to manufacture
the chief ingredient in 100-octane
aviation gasoline"
Pressed for Mitsui Merger.
Mr. Arnold declared that in 1884
Standards board of directors ap-
proved recommendation that
Standard enter into formal negotia-
tions for merger with the Japa-
nese Mitsui firm.
"As late as 1885," he said. Stand
ard Oil was still pressing for such
merger and the only reason this
merger did not go through was be-
cause of the opposition of the Shell
interests"
The government attorney said
that 80 hidden and insidious" was
Farben's influence that w. C. Teagle,
president of Standard, served 10
years as a director of an I. G. Far
uncontrolled company land yet
testified before the Securities and
Exchange Commission in 1893, that
he did not know who owned the
controlling voting stock in that COM
pany." He said I. G. Farben asked
Mr.. Teagle to go on the board and
kept him from resigning, despite
his repeated efforts to do So" until
March Is, 1899.
Mr.. Arnold found occasion to
compliment Standards research
staff on their work in synthetics.
The chemists Of Standard Oil
should be given full credit for their
development of butyl rubber" he
declared. The development of
butyl rubber promises to be an i'm
portant factor In our war program"

The Senate Defense Investigat-
ing Committee today had before
1t charges that the Standard Oil
Co. of New Jersey had tried
to cover up and mislead" the COM
mittee concerning what was termed
its full marriage" to I. G. Farben-
industrie, German chemical trust.
The charges were made by As
sistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold in statement sent to the
committee supplementing previous
testimony by Justice Department
officials.
Laying heavy emphasis on Stand
ards operations in synthetic rub
Der. Mr. Arnold declared specifically
that Standard attempted to mis-
lead the committee as to:
81. The information it received
from I. G. Farben on Buna rubber.
q. The information it gave our
own Government on synthetic rub
ber.
"3. Its failure to disclose to the
State Department the I. G.. Farben
control over synthetic rubber.
4. It's deliberate attempt to frus-
trate the development of syn
thetic rubber program in this coun-
try, unless Standard were allowed
to dominate it. and
IS, It's continuing relationship with
I. G. Farben,"
Mr.. Arnold said he was present.
ing the supplemental statement in
reply to Standards denial through
the press and over the radio and
through a special report to its Gus
toners" of Mr.. Arnolds testimony
before the committee March 26.
Sees No Unpatriotic Motives.
AS in his previous testimony. Mr..
Arnold repeated that "in fairness to
the defendants I think I should say
that there Is no alliance with Ger
man interests from unpatriotic mo-
tives."
THE sole motive" he declared,
was an attempt on the part of
Standard Oil to get a protected
market, to eliminate independent
competition, and, finally to restrict
world production in order to main
tain that production"
Declaring that Il do not believe
that Standard has fulfilled its obli-
CATION to this committee to tell the
truth about its cartel arrangement" q"
Mr.. Arnold presented further allie
cations concerning the company's
operations in gasoline.
"Standard,' he declared, did not
tell the committee that a program
desired by the United States Army
for the development of fuels which
would have put our Army ahead of
the rest of the world as regards per-
formance of their fighting equip
ment was contrary to Standards
obligations to / G. Farben.
Reiterates Blacklist Charge.
ut did not tell the committee that
the Assistant Secretary of State had
to threaten to blacklist the Standard
subsidiary before the shipment of
gasoline to the Axis airlines was
stopped"
Mr.. Arnold said in March that
under a cartel agreement Standard
