 Mccarthy No. 3 is a midget named Jerry Maren. His features have been built up to resemble the dummys and his height 6 feet, 6 inches) and slim build allow him to double for Mccarthy in sequences such as the ones where he's chased by the bear.
 ALSO APES APE
 Being a double for a ventrilo- quist's doll is perhaps not an exalted occupation for an actor. But it's as good as doubling for chimpanzee, which Maren does on occasion. Sometimes he gets to play himself as a midget and speak few lines, and he was one of the dancing Munchkins in ''The Wizard of O."
 In Beyond the Blue Horizon, Maren was Dorothy Lamour's chim- panzee in several sequences. More recently he donned the monkey suit for a bit of fantasy in Road To Morocco" Bob Hope and Bing Crosby are languishing in a sultan's prison, and while idly lingering a bauble that turns out to be magic charm, Hope remarks that he wishes he had a drink.

PLAY TO BE REPEATED
 IN CONNECTICUT

This year marks the 3lst free per formance of the pageant, Holy Night'-the first having been in 1912. A famiy affair, three mem bers of the original cast, besides sons and grandsons of others, are taking part in the l942 performance.
 The villagers don't take their act ing, and the play itself, in light, or casual manner. Even though it takes but one hour, the play is re- hearsed over and over again, year after year. The first rehearsals be- gin just after Thanksgiving when costumes are taken from the attic, and players begin to drop around in the evenings.
 When the play was first given, 1t was held at the town hall which had a leaky roof. When it rained, water came down on the lamps, the cast and the audience. Another dis advantage was the lack of audience space. The play had to be given two or three times night so that the many villagers from neighboring towns could see 1t.
 Even with a larger and newer home the play still packs them in As did their parents many years

BAYBERRIE5

Growing in the sandy soil from Alaska to Florida is a shrub known as the Bayberry The branches are thickly beset with gray, wax giving berries. In early Colonial days animal fats were rather scarce, so that the children gath cred these berries for making can- dies. Today, the lighting or Bay berry candles on Christmas eve IS a custom the country over.
 These candles are more brittle and less greasy than those made from tallow. They are translucent green, and when the flame is ex- the resulting odor is as sweet and pungent as incense.
 In the event that some may want to make their own candles, nere are directions:
 Cover the berries with water and 3oil for an hour The oil comes lo the top but it is often soiled with leaves and small twigs, so
 t should be strained through 10th. When this wax becomes cold, t will form a cake at the top of he water. It should be heated again, preparatory to molding the candies. If you have candle molds you will, of course, use them, if not, you may fasten several wicks

In most of these engagements
it was the plane which played
the leading role. The Bismarck
would have escaped the British
fleet If her rudder had not been
crippled by an aerial torpedo.
and it was aerial torpedoes which
sank the Prince of Wales and
the Repulse.
The Coral Sea and Midway
battles were more important as
demonstrations of the effective
ness of aircraft. In both those
battles land and carrier-based
aircraft were a determining fac
tor. Next in importance were
fast cruisers and destroyers,
which, in the Midway battle, at
least, fought in traditional style.
Battleships in Minor Roles.
In neither of these fights did
battleships play any significant
role. According to official re-
ports our battleships did not
participate in the Midway battle.
Japanese battleships were some
where in the vicinity of the
island, but there is no evidence
that they took part in the actual
fighting. They served only as
conveys for troop ships and were
ingloriously damaged. A large
force of destroyers and cruisers
had to protect them when they
umped back to their home bases.
The arguments of the pro-
ponents of the battleship have
been that We needed these great
floating fortresses for use against
Japan. They have stamina, it
was contended, and can travel
many thousands of miles without
refueling. Taking into account

The Great Game of Politics
Presidents Pride in War Production Figures

ing no political or personal Ak to
grind, the story of the Baruch con-
tribution Is an extraordinary one.
Baruch Available.
When Pearl Harbor happened he
just took up his residence in Wash
ington for the duration. He made up
his mind that no one was going to
make him mad and that nothing
and nobody was going to discourage
him from doing everything he could
to help win the war. He has been
In and out Of the presidential dog
house number of times. Some
times he would lunch with the
President once q week; sometimes
he wouldn't see him for weeks. He
has been pushed around and patron
lied by self important little people
unused to authority. He has been
sneered at as senile and self-seek-
ing. He has permitted none Of these
things to disturb or divert him. He
has kept right on making himself
available, doing everything he was
asked to do: showing no resentment
when his advice, after being sought,
has not been taken; no irritation
at being overridden by the mex
perienced and confused.
Little by little he has seen the
sound and tested things he urged,
first rejected, finally adopted. To-
day the War Production Board Is
operating largely on the lines of
the old Baruch War Industries
Board. Mr.. Nelson has had the
good sense to consult him on pol
icy from the start. A good deal of
time has been lost and the same
competency at the top does not
exist. But things are going in
flnitely better than they were. To-
day the disinterestedness and the
ability Of Mr.. Baruch are generally
accepted here and his advice Is
regularly asked and taken by those
in charge. He has Stunned pub
licity and has sought no credit.
Nevertheless, his unshakable pa
tience and unflagging persistence
are reflected in those produc-
tion figures which the President
now rightly thinks it would dis
courage the enemy to know.

middle-class family. His training
was military. Neither his family
nor career would incline him to-
ward democracy. Gen. de Gaulle,
however, was little interested in
politics. He was an intelligent
soldier: modern officer.
He realized that the second
war of the twentieth century
would not be like the first. He
foresaw the new war of move
ment based upon mechanical
cavalry. armored divisions. He
regarded the reorganization of
the French Army as absolutely
essential to the safety of France.
Therefore, as an officer and a
patriot, and with no political
prejudices whatsoever he began
agitating for army reorganiza-
tion. His first attempt was,
naturally, with the general staff.
But he found the general staff
lmpervlous to new ideas, when
its members were not actively
hostile to them. They knew how
the last war had been won and,
therefore, how any future war
would be won. Into their hos
tility, furthermore, there entered
definite bias. A modern mech
aniZed army would be an army
of engineers. mechanics, workers.
1t would require different type
OF brain from that of the caste
hardened military oligarchy.
Many would be dislodged from
their positions. Therefore, their
interests were menaced-personal
and social.
Turned Down by Parliament.
A modern mechanical army
would require full collaboration
from the leaders of the heavy in
dustries. Gen. de Gaulle went to
them, also. But they did not
like his ideas, either. They en-
tailed the investment of other
wise safe" money, and anyhow
there isn't going to be any war"
and what they were really wor-
ried about was French radical
ism. So Gen. de Gaulle, patriot
and conservative, got no aid from
them.
Then he went to the parlia-
ment. 1t was like most popular
bodies, containing some intelli-
gent and incorruptible men, who
put the welfare of the nation
above everything. 1t also con-
tained those who were merely
the spokesmen for interests.
Nevertheless there were those
among them who fought for his
ideas.
But parliaments consult "ex-
perts." The experts" were the
general staff and, of course, the
manufacturers.
The war itself proved Gen. de
Gaulle to have been prophetic
and correct. Germany had a
new army which was not even
averse to taking ideas from the
former enemies of Germany. The

Under the circumstances q
good deal of thought is being
given to whether the sea mas
todons whose keels have just

into plane-carrying battleships.
1t is, of course, risky to conclude
that the battleship is dead. But
