WITHOUT A BEARD

RAN INTO Vincent Price on the
Twentieth Century-FoX lot few
days ago The last time j saw
him was backstage in New York
after his performance in Angel
Street.
Funny 10 see him without the
beard. While he has been here
for some months he hasn't done
a thing, but his wife. not under
contract at Twentieth. has made
any number of pictures there.
However. Vincent goes into THE
Song of Bernadette.' playing the
character of Dutner, prosecutor of
Bernadette and her family.
According to Bill Perlberg, the
producer, the picture actually gets
going March IS and Vincent's role
has been built up.

AMUSING THE way Van Hef-
lin heard he had been nominated
as one of the academy award con-
tenders for a supporting role. He
is stationed at Camp Roberts and
he returned from a 15-mile hike
exhausted.
When he walked into the mess
hall the boys all stood up ano
cheered him. He thought for q
moment he had made some mis-.
take. being new in the service
and he blushed TO the roots OF
his hair Then one of the boys
volunteered the information that
aonewspaper had reached the camp
with the news Van Helm was
named for his work in Johnny
Eager as an academy award pos
sibility.
TOO UNDERSTANDING
a SSIAN actor, one
Michael ChekhoV, has been
signed for one of the important
roles In Russia" which wouldn't
Dee particularly newsy except
that for the first time there will
be an actor working in a Gregory
Ratoff picture who can under
stand him!
This will probably bore the
mad ROosian director, who,
suspect gets a kick out of con-
fusing his Co-workers. To be fully
understood I'm his own language
will probably give Greg an enor-
nous artistic pain.
Joking aside, ChekhOv II one
OF Russia's most distinguished
actors. long associated with the
Moscow Art Theater and for
past two years he has been doing
dramatic coaching In his own
studio near New York.

A GREAT DIRECTOR

The orchestra. under the direc-
ton of Alexander Smallens, puts
the finishing touch To the whole
affair, because if that score were
not played the way Smallens wants
it, so much of its fascination would
be lost.
What an artist Smallens Is. He
injects truly great musical value
so that the layman is completely
unaware that he is listening to a
performance of symphonic scope.
No matter how many times
you've heard "Sumpertime" and
all the numbers with which rec
ords and radio have made us
familiar during the last eight
years. go back and listen to the
entire score.
If you've never heard il before.

~of your grasp.

Lehman Regards UNRRA
As Test Of Co-operation

If the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration fails
in its operations, there is a grave
doubt that any collaboration OF
the United Nations can survive the
test of practical application, Her
bert H. Lehman. UNRRA director
general. informed the House For
eign Affairs Committee yesterday.
But if UNRRA succeeds, Mr.. Leh-
man asserted, then the world will
know that international co-opera-
ton is possible and that common
interests can be stronger than sep
arate differences" The committee
is considering resolution authoriz-
ing .300,000,000 as the United
States share in the UNRRA fund
The three major principles OF
UNRRA. he said, were: Cd It must
at all times help others to help
themselves but with no thought OF
charity. CD Its resources must be
used only to meet the most press
ing needs. CO It's success must be
measured by the speed with which
it is able to liquidate itself.
The sooner it becomes unneces-
sary, the greater will have been its
accomplishment" he said.

things, although they may call them
by different names, Eric Underwood,
British lecturer, told a National
Geographic Society audience last
night at Constitution Hall.
Freedom of worship, free speech,
the right of petition and the right
of assembly, Mr.. Underwood said,
are as dear to the British people as
to Americans.
Victory Will be won through team
work, with understanding of the
basic characteristics of the two peo-
piles the first requirement of effective
cooperation, he predicted. Mr.. Un-
derwood added that Britain heartily
welcomes the interest of Americans
in British colonial questions as evi-
dence OF a growing concern in the
international situation, a growing
realization of responsibilities reach
ing beyond the Western Hemisphere
and the possibility of a basis Of COL
liberation which will assure peace

Flu Epidemic Will
Diminish Soon

Health authorities and physicians
continued to keep close watch on
the influenza epidemic today, with
absences from Federal agencies and
private employment continuing in
heavy numbers.
DR.. George C. Rutland. District
health officer. in a radio address over
WRC last night. expressed hope that
the epidemic. which has been in
mild form. soon would taper off
This, he said. might be expected lin
view of historical evidence" though
he could not say whether the peak
had been reached or when the Incl
dence of the disease might diminish.
Indications are encouraging, Dr.
Rutland said, and he saw no reason
for closing the schools, despite the
large number of absences.
A heavy demand for physicians
more than could be met-continued
and patients were advised to treat
themselves with simple home REM
edies and refrain from calling doc
tors unless there were complications.
Plenty of fruit juices and liquids
were advised. In most cases, those
who have stayed home as soon as a
heavy cold became evident have
been able to go out in two or three
days
Pharmacists appealed to the public
to be patient in awaiting prescrip-
tions, pointing out that druggists
were working at top speed and de-
lays were inevitable.
The District Health Department
estimated yesterday that 10000 of

Ex-Gov. Hobby Wins
S32,557 Income Tax Case
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Tax Court has ruled
that w. P. Hobby, former Governor
of Texas and husband of Col. Oveta
Culp Hobby, head of the WACS,
will not have to pay s32,55790 in
1889 income taxes which the In
ternal Revenue Bureau claimed he
owed, though four judges filed dis
senting opinions.
The decision, handed down by
Judge J. M. Sternhagen, to whom
the case was assigned, held that
money derived by Mr.. Hobby from
four sales of stock in the Enter
prise Co., Beaumont. Tex, was tax
able as long-term gains.
The internal revenue commissioner
had held that the money Mr.. Hobby
received for the stock, less its cost,
constituted gains from partial hqui-
dation taxable at higher rate as
a short-term capital gain.
