The w ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert s. Allen on active dutyD

WASHINGTON = Some of the Presidents close friends are urging that to avert tragic disaster in India, the United States, Russia and China-all three disinterested nations-intervene to mediate the difficulties between India and Great Britain.
 This idea first was discussed tentatively last December, but mo- thing happened. Winston Chur- chill was in the United States at that time and it was suggested to him, delicately of course. that it might be a good idea to settle the whole Indian trouble immediately before it got worse.
 No suggestion was then made that the United States, China and Russia intervene, but later, as an outgrowth of these talks, Gen. eralissimo Chiang-Kai-shek went to India to emphasize the common bond between China, Britain and India.
 Later, when the British did not act, and things were drifting from bad to worse, the President dis cussed with Justice Felix Frank furter the idea of his going to India as sort of mediator. In- stead, however, the President sent Louis Johnson, former assistant secretary of war, not as mediator but as U. s. Minister to India.
 Now, however, with India on the verge of civil war and with the Japs ready to launch new of- fensive after the monsoon rains in September, the idea of U. S.-Rus- sian-C Chinese mediation has been suggested.

herself.
 One might call her ruthless, fl she were inclined to plan or mediate but it is her impromptu actions that bring about all the unhappiness She lives only for the present with out thought to the future or tc the consequences her behavior may have on others.
 The person whose life is most changed by Stanleys behavior is her sister Roy's, played by Olivia de Havilland, who is married to Peter, a promising young surgeon portrayed by Dennis Morgan. Starl- ley manages to have Peter divorce Roy and marry her despite the fact that she is engaged to Craig, a keen lawyer, played by George Brent.
 The role of Stanley is not sym pathetic one and only a great ac. tress like Bette Davis can do 1t full justice. Miss Davis has surpassed anything she has done before ir a brilliantly sensitive performance with deeply tragic undertones.
 In the other roles, the perform. ances of Olivia de Havilland, George Brent and Dennis Horgan shine ou lustrously. The members of tht Timberlake family as played by Charles Coburn, Frank Craven ane Billie Burke, are so unaffectedlJ natural that they add enormously to the complete reality of the story
 And in addition to this swell pic ture the management presents Sweetheart of the Fleet" with Joan Davis and Jinx Falkenburg.

STRAND

As timely and thrilling subject as you'll ever want to see is the pit basis for that flaming techni- color production, ITO the Shores of Tripoli,". which opened today for a three-day engagement at the Strand theater. Taking raw recruit in the person of John Payne, the film puts him through all of the paces which the U. s. Marine undergoes to emerge fighting leatherneck. " For romantic interest, none other than beautieous Maureen O'Hara III the role of nurse was selected to provide the love interest with the handsome Payne. Randolph Scott, as the tough, hard-boiled sergeant, makes life both interest ing and miserable for Payne. The film was produced with the full CO., operation of the United States gov- ernment and the Marine Corps went all out to give authenticity to to the picture. Most of the scenes were filmed at the San Diego Marine base. For the inside story of what goes on in the training of the Devil Dogs, "To the Shores of Tripoli" has all the answers. Others in the superb cast include Nancy Kelly, William Tracy, MaXie Rosen- bloom, Henry Morgan, Edmund Mcdonald, Russell Hicks and Ml- nor Watson.
 A dramatic, action packed mur- der mystery, "Who Is Hope Schuy- ler?" with Joseph Allen, Jr, Mary Howard, Sheila Ryan and Ricardo Cortez, is the second big hit on the same program.
