MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 30.-Ursula
Parrot, the author, today took full
responsibility in press statement
for helping Pvt. Michael Nicely Bry-
ant, former dance band musician
leave an Army stockade. where he
was being punished for going absent
without leave.
The 40-year-old writer made a
statement to newspapermen during
a preliminary hearing at which
United States Commissioner r. E.
Davis bound her over to the Federal
grand jury under $1,000 bond on a
charge of aiding a soldier to desert.
She pleaded not guilty.
So nervous that she had to ask
her attorney to open a package OF
mints, Mrs. Parrott told of driving
the soldier, with whom she had beer
friendly for some months, out OF the
stockade concealed in the rear seat
of her automobile.
Takes All Responsibility.
Il have only one thing to say" she
told newsmen. Nothing of this was
Pvt. Bryan's fault. He persistently
urged me to 60 back, because I would
get into a great deal of trouble.
Il was afraid the guard would
shoot, and kept right on going. We
were only going out for dinner. We
meant to get back sooner, but 1t
was difficult
The officer in charge Of the
stockade trusted me and was right.

Tenn is a guitar player. Mrs. Par
rott said he formerly was member
of Benny Goodman's Band.
He is a first-clasS swing musi-
cian," she added.
Bond May Be Reduced.
The author pleaded innocent She
said she would telephone her literary
agents in New York to arrange bond.
Mr.. Davis said he would reduce the
amount should it become necessary
for her to raise the cash here.
In asking that the bond be nomi-
nal, Attorney Lewis Twyman said
his client is very, very prominent
and couldn't get away if she tried y
He said she has home at Miami
Beach and has been committing
from New York for eight months.
Assistant District Attorney Ernest
L. Duhaime placed Robert S. Moore,
Federal Bureau of Investigation
agent, on the stand to tell of Mrs
PARROTS arrest.
Mr.. Moore said Miami Beach Army
officers informed the FBI yesterday
that Pvt. Bryan had escaped from
the stockade Monday in the auto
mobile of Mrs. Parrott, who had
gone to the detention area to visit
him.
Terms Charge Serious.
Later. the agent added, the FB1
was informed that Mrs. Parrott
would turn Bryan over to Federal
authorities. He said she brought
the private to the to the Federal
building late yesterday.
Mr.. Davis described the charge as
serious, and informed the author
the maximum penalty upon convic-
tion could be three years imprison-
ment and $4,000 fine.
Mrs. Parrott's first book, Eek
Wife" was published in 1929 after
she was divorced from her first hus-
band, Lindsay Parrott, a newspaper
man. 1t was best seller, reaching
the l00,000-copy mark.
Since then she has written a
dozen other novels, much magazine
fiction and movie scenarios.
She married Charles T. Green
wood. Rrookland banker, in 1881
and filed suit for divorce from him

the worlds most fertile field for
the mushroom growth of ru-
mors. Let a star get a scalp

columnists will be announcing
her separation from her hus-

No one can pick the killing

said the preoccupied reader.
The studio man was in a fid-
get until next morning, when
he rushed to the office OF an
important friend at Metro and
broke the staggering news tina,
The Yearling' was not an in
nocuous novel at all, but actual
ly the story of Communism.
And for weeks afterward the
studio buzzed with speculation
on whether the priced Year
ling" ought to be filmed. AT
least that's the story I've heard;
of course, it may be just another
of those rumors.
For years Walt Disney has
been regarded with some Sus-
picion by various red-haters be-
cause his and Charlie Chaplin S
films were about the only Hol-
lywood products bought by So
Wet Russia. AS anyone ought to
realize, these were the only pic
lures which readily could be
understood and appreciated
without translation.
OUT OF MIND
Speaking of stories, a report
er's shopping error resulted in
dozens of Hollywood people get
ting publicity from a complete
ly non-existent yarn. The trade
paper reporter went into an ex-
ecutive's office on a routine call
and while standing by the desk
peeked at a sheet of paper on
which was typed out OF
Town." and after it the names
of four top-notch writer's. This
was just a report telling which
writer's were unavailable. In
stead, the snooper figured Met
70 had whipped up supermovie
titled out of Town"

AS soon as the trade paper
printed the phony scoop, indie
pendent press agents all over
town began wrangling their
clients names into it. Actors
and actresses were announced
as having been tested for the
leading roles.
One publicist not only released
the news that a client director
had been chosen to make the
picture, but that he already had
left Hollywood to search for the
best location in which to film
it. And a song writing team was
declared to be working on a
theme tune. To save itself from
the deluge of talent agents and
job seekers, the studio finally
denied the whole thing.

losers. The pattern that gives
the declarer this opportunity,
and at the same time makes
trump leads of any avail, usual
ly shows up in the bidding.
A common situation is where
the dcclarer has bid two suits,
especially both major suits, and
the dummy likes one suit but not
the other. The inference is that
he is long i'm one suit and short in
the other, and that the declarer S
line of play will be to use dunn
my's trumps to ruff his side suit.
Today's hand is taken from
the World Bridge Olympic of
1896. Here is an opcn-and-shut
case for a trump lead. South bid
spades and North denied the suit
with no trump. But when South
bid hearts, North was very en-
thusiastic.
West sees that North probab-
~ does not have q long strong
minor suit. At least, any such
suit would have To contend with
Vests shoppers. The bulk OF the
declarer's tricks will have to be
made with trumps. North's
trumps will be used to help es-
tablish the spade suit, in which
il is a reasonable inference that
East holds some length with
shoppers.
West opens a trump and de-
feats the contract. Notice that il
he leads the king of diamonds
first TO take a look" il is too
late TO set the contract by 9

High|ights from
the Latest Books


To write the biography OF q
living man with truth, OBJECTIVE
ity and good sense is never easy.
The task is doubly difficult when
the biographical subject is one
of the great figures of his time
whose works and convictions are
at their highest point of public
interest and Importance during
the period Of writing and publ
cation.
Harold B. Hinton, long q staff
writer for the New York Times,
tackled just this kind Of Job in
"Cordell Hull" doubleday, Do
ran: So and it Is to the great
advantage of all that he has been
SO successful in this study of the
Tennessee poker player who
makes the axis gnash its or their
teeth.
Always intelligently told, this
life story of a great statesman Is
more than the history Of man.
1t is the history Of America dur
ing his many years of public
service, and in specialized
sense, it is also the history Of
South America and of Europe
for these years.
Diplomatically and economi-
cally Hull has been almost as
we'll informed about the rest of
the world as he has been about
the United States. His interest
and influence have been pro-
found and far-reaching be-
cause of his deep concern with
the future of his own country.
The author is a close friend of
Hulls and has covered many of
the important conferences at
which Hull was a significant
and sometimes sly figure. He
has used his reportorial skill and
experience well in recalling and
making clear to the average
reader the facts and implica-
tons of those conferences and
the part played-and usually
well-by our secretary OF state.
The book also has value be-
cause of its keen estimation of
the character of Hull, and the
light which it sheds upon his
background. AS a person, Hull
has always been one OF the more
retiring of our public figures
and there is much about him in
his biography which most OF us
have not known.
His mountaineer background,
up-from- thc-bottom car er,
striking ability with both the
English and profane language,
and the idea 81 this son of the
hills pitted against the worlds
slickest diplomats and striped
pants boys make Hull one of the
picturesque figures Of our day.
And there is little doubt after
reading Hinton's biography that
Hull will take rank with the
great secretaries of state.
A fine foreword by Under
secretary of State Sumner Welles
should do much to block the mas
" rumor that Welles and his
superior hate each other.

more OBVIOUS IOStO'S. S''S W s'~S~ -
the plain necessity that, as the labor
supply is absorbed, the hours for Amer
icon workers must be stepped UP to q
oreot deoI more than forty hours week
-probobIy somewhere between forty
eiaht and sixty. On this there should
be general agreement, whether one
believes the overtime can feosibIy be
poid for at tine-ond-o-holf as permit
ted under the forty-hour law or whether
he believes this requirement must be
suspended to avoid prohibtve costs.
There are, Of course. few reoe-
tionories who would be glad to use the
situation to break down almost any
legislation favorable to workers, and
the division Of labor interests is play
ina into the hands Of this reaction in
ways Of which many labor unions seem
yet unaware.
The way it works is illustrated In
this: One of the principal Sparks that
touched off the fireworks this week in
Congress was the reported foct that
1900 worknnen in Pacific Coost areas
remained away from their machines
Monday because union contracts re-
CURED double time for holiday work
and employers did not feel they could
poy that bonus. But would suspension
Of the Federal forty-hour law suspend
those union contracts? No. 1t would
suspend only the protection which
thousands of unoreonzed, semi-skiII-
ed workers now enjoy in the require
ment Of time-ond-o-holf for their over
time Organized groups With selfish or
short-siehted business agents would
continue to collect on their bargaining
leverage
This, then, is where thoughtIess
and seIf-seekine demands by the al
ready more fortunate ranks Of labor in
defense industries tend to react in
way to domoee the foundations Of So
ciol legislation enacted for the benefit
Of all labor and particularly the most
needy.
Demands of the Steel Workers Or
oonizine Committee for second wage
increase within q year and introduce
ton Of the union shop in the steel in
dustry ore now before the War Labor
Board Agitation Of these issues, when
earnings already have advanced fost-
err than living costs, adds to the fires
whose smoke blows back in the foce Of
oil labor, organized or unorgonized.
Union enthusiasts argue that all
labor should organize, but too often the
leadership offered for unskiIed groups
is of the rocketeerine Willie Bioff
type. If all labor we're organized only
for what it could get, rather than for
intelligent cooperation, the result
would be melee Of labor syndiootes
competing with each other and the
rest Of the population for the lions
share Of the national income.
That is not the way wars ore won
or obor's freedom maintained. Most
Of the workers as we'll as Of the wealthy
in America probably understand clear
Iy that war efforts and war losses ore
bound to cut into the standard Of lv-
ing of all The brave and potriotie
stand wiling to bear their share Of the
discomfort. We feel sure this includes
the overwhelming majority Of those
who labor. = From The Christian
