She's been having things her own
way ever since. She has seen bad
pictures kill too many good actors
and actresses. She won't let that
happen to her. She steadily refuses
to play a part she doesn't like. That's
had two results: y She's one of the
top box-ofi names. p She's been
suspended three times. One of those
suspension periods lasted two years.
Finally. Frank Capra demanded her
for "You Can't Take It With You"
and she went back to work.

That's the picture which has Jean
starring with Cary Grant and Ron
aid Colman and which is now pro-
ducing a merry jingle -jangle of coins
at the nations ticket windows.
Events went along their normal
course after that - Jean was sus-
pended again. She waited this one
out in New York. Then her husband
Frank Ross, an independent pro-
ducer - ran across a young soldier
in the Army Signal Corps - Bob
Russell. Private Russell had a see

with him and they ended UP with
.'Merry- Round" story of
wartime Washington.
Columbia read the script, bought
it. asked Jean if she'd like to come
back home and begin shooting on it.
So that's what she's doing now.
She spent about three weeks
of her latest vacation touring
Army camps. The boys loved her.
One reason was a song she sang. She
called it IF I We're Your Company
Commander" and it begins like
this:
''If l were your company COM
mander-
Second lieutenants would keep
quarters swept
And polish all shoes while enlisted
men slept"
So far, G.H.Q. hasn't made her a
company commander. But out in
California she's a volunteer ambu-
lance driver. As matter of fact,

most of the excitement in the Roses

nial-style house, notable principally
for its good taste and the number of
dogs wandering around it.
She's a good hostess, too, in a
quiet sort of way. People like to
visit. She's a good talker, a better
listener. And when she curls up in q
chair. she looks exactly the way the
camera makes her look. Altogether,
she is the kind of a girl Cary Grant

on herself:
When "Arizona" was premiered
in a city of that state, the mayor
held an elaborate dinner in her
honor. The piece de yesissa'ses was to
be the presentation to Jean of a
beautiful hand-hammered copper
plate. Dinner over. the mayor rose.

1T is indeed a great privilege and
pleasure to have here tonight the
Sweetheart of Arizona. We who

half of all her most intimate friends
in Arizona, I'd like to present this
plate to Miss - Gene AutryT
Jean has survived every movie
epoch - she was a hit in silent slap
stick, a success in the squawky-talky
days, a smash in today's sophisti-
Gated products. She started in 1924
with an intesminable series of bad
roles, gave up in disgust in 81 and
high-kited it to New York and the
stage. That set off the familiar
Hollywood routine: somebody else
had her now - 50 Hollywood want

up with a stars contract in 1894
and Jean headed back for the Coast.

Traffic Deaths Decline
II Per Cent During March

Ey the Associated Press.
CHIC o. April 30-Traffic
deaths have slumped sharply de-
spite heavy travel
The National Safety Council so
reported last night in announcing
that motor vehicle fatalities in
March numbered only 2,44o, or II
per cent fewer than those of the
corresponding month of 194l.
The drop was attributed to evil
dence that autoists were driving
with more caution to conserve their
cars and were less inclined to go
off on long distance, high speed
trips.
Council statisticians decided that
available figures indicated mileage
had not been curtailed appreciably
although tires and cars were being
rationed. They surmised that last
fling" drivers and war-boomed trans
portation had kept motors humming
at a comparatively normal pitch.
March was the second consecu-
tive month to show a slump in
traffic deaths after they had been
on the upward trend for II months
in row.

symphony music can mean a great

"670 soldiers attended our last con-
cert in Richmond, Va. last month,

AS further proof of the value of
symphonic music in wartime, Dr.
Kinder also cited the reply of the
British government to an English
conductor who wanted to resign his
post in order to fight: I'VE want
you to remember that we shall not
fight any better, no, nor as well, if
we fail to maintain the very things

Cash Dividend Payments
Drop Below Year Aqo

Cash dividend payments during
the first 10 months of 1912 we're 8.6
per cent below the total for the same
period last year, the Commerce
Department estimates.
Writing in the Survey of Current
Business, lyman Smith estimates
that cash dividend payments for the
10-month period amounted to
1896, 100000, as compared with
$3.50, ,000,00 paid out during the
first 10 months of 194l.
Most of this decline, according to
the article. was due to the drop in
dividends by the manufacturing and
heat and light and power groups.
Dividend payments by these groups
were IA per cent below the 194l total.
Rejecting the transition to war
production, automobile companies,
one of the largest of the manufac-
turing groups. registered a 80 per
cent drop in cash dividend disburse-
ments. In transportation equipment
companies the decline was 81 per

Cuban Firms Complaint
In Price Case Dismissed

The United States Emergency
Court of Appeals yesterday dismissed
the complaints of Cuban sugar
firm against an Office OF Price Ad-

The OPA had dismissed a protest
of the Galban Lobo Co., Cuban
sugar exporter, against application
of a certain price ceiling to a con-
tract that involved the shipment of
l2,205 bags of sugar to the American
Sugar Refining Co., New York City.
The OPA threw it out on the ground
that the protest was not filed within
the 60-day limit of time set by the
Emergency Price Control Act.
In an opinion written by Judge
Albert Maris, a Federal judge in
Philadelphia, who also serves with
the emergency court, the language
of the Price Control Act regulating
the time in which protests must be
filed, was criticized as imperfect" J"
However, ruling favoring the OPA
was given after both parties had
