The W aShinqton
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Major Robert s Allen on active duty)

HOLLY WOOD Hollywood S
Gregory Ratoff called on Soviet
Ambassador Litvinoff the other day
in connection with film on Rus
STA which he is directing. Ratoff
complained that he had hoped to
get Robert Taylor to play t h e
leading role in the picture, but
Taylor was now in the Navy.
IT don't understand this coun-
try" observed Litvinoff. You take
the men who can do most for
morale and send them off to shoot
a rifle. In my country we exempt
leading actors from military SER
vice."
Whereupon the Russian Ambas-
sador picked up the phone, called
War Information Chief Elmer
Davis. Davis, in turn, telephoned
Secretary Of the Navy Knox, who
readily released Robert Taylor for
tIic ItucoAd1i PAOtuAC.
This has brought to the front
sgain the whole question of Holly
wood draft deferments. In the last
war, key actors were deferred on
the ground that they were impor-
tant for morale Britain formerly
called up movie actors, but has
now realized its mistake and has
decided to defer them. In the
United States, a start was made
toward deferment, there was a GER
tain amount of public resentment
several actors volunteered, and the
whole thing has been in a tumble
evef since.
Result is that the Army has a
handful of soldiers who turn the
troops into autograph seekers, while
the country is minus stars who
could do a great job for morale.
At present, for instance, the
Army doesn't want Mickey Rooney
first because he is too short, Sec
ond because he would disrupt any
Army camp. Everybody would be
watching him instead of the COM
manding officer. Likewise with
Clark Gable. President Roosevelt
himself wrote Gable letter ask
ing him not to enlist. Gable patrio-
tically enlisted, however, and now
is a bombardier. Only trouble is
that 43-year-old bombardiei
doesn't have the quick reflexes Of
a younger man and might endan-
ger the entire crew of the bomber
So the Army is up against Wha'
to do with patriot Clark Gable, ano
unofficially, they think he coulc
do a better job entertaining troops
via the screen in Hollywood.
The movie industry would like te
see the whole question decided one
way or the other by the Govern
ment. :hcn there would be nc

Tells How First Order,
Alaska Spruce, Finally
Delivered, Puget Sound
BY JACK STINNETT
(SecOnd of Two Articles)

WASHINGTON, March 9-When
U. S. Forest Service officials got
their order to deliver 1000 900
board feet of Alaska spruce logs
to the sawmills of northern Wash
ington and had gone through the
rigamarole of government financ-
ing, the logging season was under
way and the shortages of manpower
and machineray well established
Nevertheless, by last fall donkey
engines, logging gear. hoists. trucks,
tractors, cables. camp equipment
and men were beating their way up
the inside passage 10 the dockless.
tidal shores of those islands in the
amazing Alaskan peninsula.
To compound the confusion Of
all concerned in the effort, this or
dinarily mild-winter section of AL
aska had the most bitter cold and
vicious storms this year in the
memory of the oldest living in
habitant
One tragedy will illustrate the
hundreds that hampered the work
The Forest Service men in charge
had lodged priorities sufficiently to
get much-needed 32,700 pound
tractor (the largest made-with a
drawbar pull of 10000 pounds !.
Loaded on barge. it was being
towed to Ketchikan In a binding
Isnow-storm in Clarence Strait, the
tug almost ran on the rocks, sheer
ed off, but the barge grazed the
reef, and went adrift.
The tug put about, found The
barge listing badly. In spite of
Paul Bunyanesque efforts of the
tugmen, working waist-deep in icy
water, the barge keeled over and
dumped the tractor into bottomless
depths where it probably is resting
today.
In midwinter, after dragging the
huge spruce logs through mud and
slush, the giant raft was assembled
in Erna Bay. Into rim or hulk of
outer logs, linked with chains and
'chokers," the inner logs were
dropped into cradles" made of
looped cables. Lashed down with
wire rope, the raft was finally a
solid mass, $50 feet long, go feet
wide and 80 feet deep
Hitched to a sea-going tug, this
raft started one of the strangest
Journeys in history. The route was
the inside passage. There were
some 1000 miles of salt water
ahead. There were channels no
more than 100 yards wide. There
were gaps Of tumbling open ocean
where in one storm this Queen
Mary of RATS might have made
splinters out of the little tug-or
snapped its .towlines and headed
for Tokyo.
Treacherous currents and hidden
reefs had to be skirted with less
than logs width to spare. 1t was
II days after its departure from
Erna Bay that the tug tied up at
the sawmill docks.
It's all over now. The gateway
has been opened. And over in U.
S. Forest Service, they say quite
casually that as long as the United
Nations need spruce for victory, well
get it.
