IDA'S GREMLIN

Word was getting around the
Warner lot faster than news of
dropped option. Ida Lupino
had a Gremlin in her dressing
room on the Devotion set on
Stage 6, Could be. An English
plane had landed at nearby air
terminal two days previously.
Everyone flocked to Ida's
dressing room. No, Ida didn't
have a Gremlin in her dressing
room. But she did have Grem-
Inns good luck charm, tiny
gold figure, about the size of a
fingernail, of pot-bellied little
man with long pointed ears. Her
father, the late Stanley Lupino,
she said, sent it to her seven
years ago.

Cornish coast one day." Ida said,

Hiinard's position, but two no
trump, while a good bid, is not
necessarily a demand bid. OF
course North's ace of hearts
eliminated any question as to
carrying the contract TO three
no trump.
With only two entries in dunn
my, Mrs. billiard first played a
small diamond and the ten from
her hand, so that when dummy
was again entered, she could
play the nine of diamonds and
the eight from her hand. This
made it possible for her to play
a diamond from dummy for the
third time. Airy other play of the
diamond suit would have lost
the contract.

The winning Of mixed pair

speciality Of Mrs. Olga billiard

propriate, as she is the donor Of

started her i943 record off by

Leventritt of New York.
Mrs. billiard had to play to-

players with her hand (South)
might prefer to open the bid
ding with one no trump, but
with three aces and the numer-
Gus intermediate cards, strong
heart response might easily lead
to a slam contract. North's one

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

S. imports for 1912 were $2,786
million, so the preclusIve stuff
was only little over l per cent
Of total war imports.
Early in the game, Jesse
Jones and his Reconstructed FL
nance Corporation boys decided
that lot of these deals might be
questioned if they were made
by the usual RFC subsidiary war
materials purchasing corpora
tions, and since all the preclu-
sive purchases were secret any
way, a separate company, the
u. 5. Commercial Corporation,
was organized as a government
owned subsidiary to go into this
kind of business exclusively.
How does it work?
CORK AND CONTRABAND
Take some purchases made in
countries, like Portugal and
Spain. Stuff the United states is
buying in those neutral countries
incluues tin, tungsten, cork, and
other material. Now even before
the war the United States had a
normal cork import business
with these countries. The Ger
mans have no right to interfere
with a neutral country's normal
trade, so the cork business can
go right on, shipped in Spanish
or Portuguese SHIPS bearing ma
vicerts that are supposed to give
safe passage through Nazl sub
marine packs.
But suppose the neutral ship
carries tin or tungsten or WOOL
commodities which the United
States normally did not import
in quantity from Spain and Por-
tugal before the war. II neutral
ship is caught carrying such con-
traband, under the laws OF war
the Germans have the right to
seize the cargo or sink the ship.
The bulk of the preemptive pur-
chascs must, therefore be car
ried in American bottoms, con-
voycd right through the ,U-boat
blockade, which adds to the risk
of this tickiish business.

HOW u. 5. AIDS REDS

=
Even though the United States
did not have large pre-war inn
port business of Spanish and
Portuguese hides, furs, gloves
and woods, building up the inn
ports of these commodities in
war time is considered advisable
because Of Germany's desperate
need for these materials to
clothe not only her civilian pop
ulation, but her armies. A large
part of the German defeat on
the Russian front can be laid TO
lack of warm clothing for troops
fighting the Russian winter. Nazi
purchasing agents have even
been buying UP wool waste, the
lowest and coarsest grades Of
wool scrap they could find, any
thing to stretch out Germany'S
totally inadequate supply Of
synthetic wool.
If it isn't a second front, it's
at least second best-an econom-
ic front. Agents of the u. $.
Commercial Corporation are
supposed to buy where the
buying does the most good for
the United Nations side, the
most harm to the axis side. They
have TO outguess and outbuy Ma
ri purchasing agents. and do it
in way that will not endanger
the position of the neutral coun-
tries.

LIVE INCOME OR DEAD ASSETS

Undoubtedly the best answer given to those who
tok about $40 600 900 900 loss to the government
if the RumI poy-os-you-eorn income tax proposal is
adopted was Mr.. Runnl's
His plan would benefit the Treasury Mr.. Ruml
contends by substituting live income for decd assets
1t is the money in ones pockets that pays for Pur.
ehoses-not the "occounts due"
Perhaps by occident-thoueh it would appear to
be by deliberate intent-the Ruml plan has been
made to appear complicated. 1t is not The many
hoIf-consdered alternatives But the RunI plan
itself is SO simple thot any toxpoyer understand
Beginning whenever Congress may decide-Pro-
vided public opinion wins this tax Worwe toxPoyers
will have income tax payments deducted weekly from
our pay envelopes or other sources OF income.
March IS, 1914, and annually thereafter, we will
report to the Treasury our years incone Most Of
the tax will have been pod If there is balance DUE
either way, the adjustment will be made.
Thot is all there is to it, The rest is mass Of
complication introduced either to befoe the issue
from honest inability to through cIeorcut pro-
poso
To avoid windfoIIs-to see that high income per-
sons do not profit from the setting ahead Of the tax
clock-when such q person dies there would be q
special death tax to recover what otherwise might
have been lost.
The public understands these things. Otherwise
the public would not be so nearly unanimous in its
demand thot the Rurnl plan be adopted
The public realizes that few persons can pay two
yeors taxes from years income The public knows
that few persons actually soved out Of 1912 incoe
the money! with which to pay their tax this year. but
most Of us, rather vaguely, thought that we would
manage to dig it up somewhere.

WARTIME TRENDS: The thing we no
tice most is decrease in sales of out-and-

Evening star., 1943-01-10

national poll shows that Mainbocher's name
is we'll known to women everywhere in the
country There is sound reason behind this.
Establishments like his are laboratories in
which ideas are experimental with and per-
fected. The dress industry - third largest
in the United States - has never united to
support research laboratory of its own, as
other large industries do.
What happens is that ideas flow out from
the top - first to large-scale professionals
in the field and then to amateurs at home.
Two years ago, for example, lined and
trimmed sweaters were exclusive with Main
bocher - and for fabulous price. Today
we can buy them in department stores
everywhere; or if we are clever with our
fingers, we are lining and trimming our own.
The same thing has happened to Main
bocher's basic evening dress. with its accom-
panying 'glamor BELTS" They begin with

MAKING A COLLECTION: White walls
lined on three sides with shelves that might
be meant for books but are filled with bolts
of cloth, flowers, ribbons, trimmings OF
various kinds; two oversize drawing boards;
an efficient chart of work in progress: Thus
the scene is set when Mainbocher starts out
to create collection. As he finishes de-
sign, the bolt of cloth, the ribbons, flowers,
buttons or what not, are removed from the
shelf and taken off to the work-rooms.
Everyone begins, then. preparing for
