OH, SUGAR
By J. e. Jones

Washington, d. c., May 4--Some
of the greatest battles of the first
World War were waged over sugar.
at the breakfast, lunch and dinner
tables. The Government set up
State rationing, county rationing,
school rationing, registrars ration
ing, and other racy-rationing pro-
grams.
The Administrator for this war
puts the sad news into booklet. He
says 1t takes 28,80O,000 pounds a
day of sugar to feed Americans.
In normal times 27% of our
sugar has come from the Philippine
Islands and Hawaii; another S5 %
from the West Indies; and home
grown sugar has furnished $50
which in plain figures shows that
1870 or nearly one-third OF the
sugar supply, has been raised at
home or at our doorstep.
The amount of beet and cane sug-
ar normally raised in the United
States is about 2,208,000 tons, the
most of which has been raised in
Louisiana. Texas and Florida have
been kept on the idle acres list
with bounties from the Government
to hold down their cane sugar pro-
duction. Beet sugar has been "dis-
couraged" so long that the industry
has not flourished. U. s. sugar pro-
duction has been a violation of
planned agriculture"--badly plan
ned. Senator Andrews of Florida
recently said: 1--WE can without de-
lay produce in my state many times
the sugar now being produced
And Senator Pepper of the same
state put his finger on the funda-
mental vice of the sugar planning
system when he said: ut is pretty
severe restraint to person that he
cannot grow sugar cane on his own
land, and that he cannot refine the
output in his own factory"
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration has restrained farmers
from raising sugar beets, or rein
ers from refining sugar. At the
same time there has been what in
peacetime would be called "propa.
ganda', to the effect that all the
sugar facilities of Cuba, Puerto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines
should have monopoly on sugar
production.
You don't have to follow the sub
ject very far to realize that there is
convincing truth in the protests
made to Congress against sugar
production restraints in the United
States. Or, to put it more plainly
this scare about sugar shortage
does not seem to be very well sup
ported by the facts in the case, in
asmuch as all the shortage that
exists can be made up by the sugar
producers on our own farms--with
the help that we always have from
the Caribbean growers. But trot
along to the school house and get
your rationing cards!

The Fail Elections

The FAN Elections

The Republican pow-wow in
Chicago seems to have included a
challenge that "now is the time for
all good men (and women) to come
to the aid of their party. Wendell
Willkie as Republican leader fur
nished resolution about the war,
and it was approved by the National
Committee of the party.
Republicans who have to face the
voters this Fall are trying to avoid
being called "isolationists" The
situation puts good many of them
in a hole; but they succeeded, at
least, in laying out workable
program at the Chicago gathering.
Many Republican leaders are
struggling with confusing issues and
Roosevelt and Mr.. Willkie are pretty
close together in their war opin-
ions, which leaves Republican can
didates facing hard, uphill fight.

Summer Vacations

Motor travel has decreased at
least one-half and there is general
opposition to long motor trips. AS
hot weather comes peeping around
the corner plans are being made
everywhere for vacations to nearby
points.
The United States Travel Bureau
of the National Park Service has
plenty of support from everybody in
the Government, from the President
down, in favor of 1.-The usual sum-
mer vacation. But the plans do not
favor cross-country trips or motor
travel for hundreds of miles away
from home. The great National
Parks are going to suffer this Sum-
mer--especially the favorite and
popular one that are located in
mountain regions, East and West.

Nobody knew just why these

For instance, potassium placed

Vitamin B acts in this way.

In cool climates Nitamin r

keeps heat generation going.
In tropical climates II is
eliminated rapidly and the food

Another thunderbolt marriage hit
Hollywood - Joan Crawford and
Philip Terry!
Although known to be good
friends, that they were contemplat-
ing matrimony came as complete
surprise. That is, to everybody ex-
cept Joan's closest frieds, Katherine
Albert, and Joan's cameraman on
her current picture. Reunion"
Two weeks ago the latter said to
the star: Whats happening to your
face? Something Is going on inside
you. I've never seen you photo
graph so radiantly!"
He watched Philip Terry visiting
Joan on the set several times, and
he discovered quickly the secret OF
her new face.
What manner of man did Holly
woods former "front-page girl
marry so quietly at the Hidden
Valley ranch of her attorney, Neil
S. Mccarthy? Why, without tell
ing anybody. did she leave the set
at the end Of the day, don an Irene
suit in two-toned beige, a pancake
hat and. with the bridegroom -elect.
drive of after dinner through the
valley lit by a crescent moon to be
married with only Mr.. and Mrs.
Mccarthy standing up with her?
She Met the Right Man."
Because the "whoopee girl" who
thought life was just bubble to
be tossed about, has grown up to
reality. She's had everything and
found She had nothing-until she
met the right man. Not even Judge
Flynn knew whom he was to marry
when he was asked to come to the
Mccarthy ranch. A radio COM
mentator got names mixed and
actually announced that Joan
Crawford had married Errol Flynn!
The newlyweds got back to Joan's
Brentwood home at o'clock in the
morning. At $50 am. Joan had to
get ready to leave for the studio.
They had their wedding breakfast
in the kitchen-milk! MGM didn't
know what had happened until
Joan reported for work at the usual
time.
The fact that she chose an un-
spectacular, httle-known actor for
her husband Is an indication that
she's on the right track. In max

Drone of Warplanes
Can Be Boon

Instead Of being nuisance. the
constant stream of P-38 interceptors
rushing back and forth over Holly
wood en- route to and from their
sea patrol areas can be a boon to
movie makers, 1t was proven today,
The swift Lockheeds pursue q
course directly over the film stu
dos as they ply between their
Glendale base and the coast line.
and had studio heads been told six
months ago that the skies over
Hollywood soon would be virtually
filled with the fighting craft, not
a few cases OF nervous collapse
would have been noted.
But the comparatively quiet
P-38s. which since the outbreak of
war with Japan have swept over
Filmville, have troubled the movie
sound men not at all, because Of
their water-cooled engines and, as
matter OF fact, can be utilized to
the point where they actually can
save the studios some location costs.
This was proven when Para
mounts Lady Bodyguard" was
being filmed on a street in the stu
do. with the studio hospital being
used Tor an exterior shot. The
studio hospital being more like an
airport hospital than the airport
variety actually Is, the cameras were
set up before it and stretcher bear
ers were ordered to carry a player
into the structure.
As the scene began, q fight OF
interceptor planes rushed past di-
rectly over the studio. This gave
Director William Clemens an idea.
He ordered another camera set up,
and when the next flight Of Lock-
needs swept past, the extra camera
caught them, and their sound was
recorded at the same time, thus
giving q perfect airport effect with
out = location trip. The experiment
opened new vistas for aim produc-
tton.

When he had earned money enough
he went to London and entered the
Royal Academy of Dramatics. His
ambition was to become a Shake
spearean star He toured the Eng
lish provinces in repertoire for four
years.
He first came to Hollywood to ap-
pear in a Shakespearean series for
the Columbia Broadcasting Co. In
the same company were Burgess
Meredith, Thomas Mitchell, Ian
Keith and Walter Abel. When
Mitchell went to Columbia he got
Terry stock contract there. After
that he signed with MGM. But
he never met the big star. Joan
Crawford, when he was on the same
lot with her. A newspaperman.
having hunch the two would like
each other, took Mr.. Terry to call
on Miss Crawford. He was right:
they hit it OF from the start. All
women like Philip Terry. But he's
q mans man. He's no Romeo--the
only other romance he's ever had
In Hollywood was with Susan
Peters. He's not q playboy nor
night clubber. He preferred play
ing with Joan's adopted children
around the. pool to any Hollywood
functions.
"She Wants Happiness"
He's a good swimmer, tennis
player, horseman. He's 6-footer,
has brown hair and eyes, weighs
165 pounds. He's a licensed air
pilot, once owned his own plane.
His first conspicuous role was at
Paramount in the title role of THE
Parson of Panamint." He's just
completed the role of a marine in
Wake Island" For this role he
had to have crew cut" He liked
it SO well he's still wearing his hair
this way.
Philip Terry will be the best thing
that's ever happened in Joan Craw-
ford's life. The two other men she
married helped educate her. In
return she did good deal for them.
No man could live with driving
dynamo like Joan and not be
charged with her energy. But she's
drunk the heavy wine Of ambition
to the dregs now. She wants hap
piness. A girl who is Hollywood's
typical story Of struggle and success
has earned the right to be happy.
