Called Man of Two Natures.
Mr.. Lamont is described by one
biographer as man of two natures.
At work he is "international-mind-
ed, dignlfled, industrious, shrewd,
Unconditional, calculating. acute, bril-
liant, hard" Outside of the office
he is Tommy Lamont, friend, gen.
erous of time and money and con-
Slderatlon, genial, warmly loved,
democratic, loyal, sentimental
In Mr. Lamont's own family, too,
there are seeming paradoxes. One
son, Thomas S. Lamont. j. P.
Morgan partner, is now a ma jor in
the U. S. Army Another son. Cor
liss, is an admirer of Soviet Russia
and has written books and brochures
about that country
Mr.. Lamont is of Scotch stock, his
paternal ancestors having come to
this country in 1850. His father was
Methodist Episcopal clergyman
and he spent most of his boyhood in
parishes on the west bank of the
Hudson River. He helped work his
way through Phillips Exeter and
Harvard by tutoring and writing for
the newspapers and, after gradua-
ton from Harvard in 1892. he be-
came reporter in New York.
He entered business in 1894 and
became a banker in 1903 at time
when industry and finance in the
United States were entering an area
of rapid expansion. He was only 40
years old when he became a Morgan
partner in 1911.

0PA Halls Sales
OF u. S.-0wned Corn
Above Ceiling Price
Acts Following Protests
Of unfair Competition
Made by Grain Dealers
BY the Associated Pre-

BY the Associated Press.
Protests from grain dealers that
the Government is engaging in "un-
fair competition" brought restric-
t1ons yesterday on the Agriculture
Departments sale of corn at prices
in excess of the OPA ceiling to corn
products food professors.
Late last week, the Office of Price
Administration gave the depart
ment's Commodity Credit Corp. per-
mission to sell Government-owned
corn to food professors at prices
above the ceiling after the latter
claimed they were unable to buy
sufficient grain at the ceiling to keep
their plants operating.
This reported inability to get corn
in the open market reflected ten
dency of those owning the grain to
hold it in expectation that legisia-
ton, being pressed by the congress
sional farm bloc, would force the
OPA to raise the ceiling.
OPA permission for the CCC to
sell corn above the ceiling was nee
essary because the law prohibits
sale of Government corn for food
purposes at less than parity The
ceiling is about 80 per cent of parity.
After the CCC sold several mill
lion bushels at a price of $1lO a
bushel, Chicago basis-8 cents above
the ceiling-grain dealers made a
sharp protest to Economic Stabili-
zation Director James F. Byrnes and
other officials.
The dealers contended that the
Government should abide by the
price ceiling or raise the ceiling to
the same level at which the Gov
ernment offered its corn.

It's branch offices to make no fur

Elevation of Thomas Lamont
Is Sole Change at Morgan Firm
New Head Started
Life After Harvard
As Newspopermon
BY CLARK LEE,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

NEW YORK, March 27.-A secre-
tary steps quietly into paneled
room on the second floor of the
House of Morgan" down in Wall
street, and places a pile Of letters
in front of a white-haired erect
man OF 70 for signature.
The typed signature on the let
tiers is Thomas w. Lamont. chair
man" A short time ago. Mr.. La
mont was signing his letters, vice
chairman"
That shift in title is almost the
only physical change that has taken
place in j. P. Morgan & Co. as a
result of the recent death of the
financier and the election of Mr..
Lamont to succeed him as chair
man of the Board of Directors of
the Morgan Bank. Because of his
age, Mr.. Morgan had served the
bank only as an adviser on broad
matters of policy in recent years.
Unlike Mr.. Morgan, who inherited
wealth and power, Mr.. Lamont
started as an outsider and had to
work his way to the top of the
financial world
Still Hard Worker.
He still works almost as hard as
when he first became a Morgan
partner back in 1911.
For number of year. be-
tween trips to many parts of the
world, he always walked into his
Office at exactly $50 every morn
ing Now it is sometimes 10 or
1870 when he gets to work from
his home uptown. But he stays in
the office until late afternoon and
his associates say he does a pro-
dlglous amount Of work
Whenever he has an opportunity
Mr.. Lamont plays golf. He describes
his game as spotty. although re-
Gently he bagged a birdie on a
425-yeard hole at a Southern course
He did it by sinking 125-yard
approach shot.
Mr.. Lamont is best known to the
American public and to the people
Of many countries for his efforts
in the field of international finance,
both as an individual and as a
representative or adviser Of the
American Government.
He naturally is interested now in
postwar readjustment, although he
believes the problem will be too vast
for private finance to handle any
appreciable part of the cost of world
recovery. Only governments will
have sufficient funds to cope with it.
Feeding Hungry First Task.
When peace finally comes to
Europe the first task will be to feed

 ADVENTURE IN
 LIGHT COMEDY
Shirley Temple in Miss Annie Rooney"
 at Capitol

Against gay, laugh-filled back ground of delightful comedy and rich humor, Shirley Temple is pre- sented as a Modern Miss, who gets her first romantic screen kiss in the new Edward Small production, Miss Annie Rooney opening to- night at the Capitol Theatre under the auspices of United Artists. This new picture was directed by Ed Marin from the screenplay writ ten by George Bruce.
 In the film, Shirley is seen as a girl who lives on the wrong side of the tracks but wins everyone on both sides with her warm loveliness and infectious gayety. She is the granddaughter of a retired police man and daughter of an insurance salesman who would rather promote billion-dollar ideas than work at his job.
 When Annie Roney gets her family mixed with that of a social ite boy friend from Park Avenue, the complications are astounding and side-splitting. But it all comes out just right, with Annie inno- gently engineering success for her fathers big idea.

greatly help said Secretary Knox, by permitting available American air power to be thrown against the Japanese positions and soften them up for the land attack.
 Complete Secrecy
 The Secretary said the operation was initially accomplished wit h complete secrecy and no serious op- position until the American troops landed on the beaches and then the opposition became very stren- uous and stubborn"
 One reason why secrecy was par ticularly important, said the Navy Secretary, was that vessels worked through treacherous reef-strewn waters where harbors offered an- chorages only IA feet deep and had the enemy fire opened too soon, our losses might have been much heavier. As it was, said Knox, our landings were risky and un- certain of success" This was the need for secrecy, Knox said, and information was held up as long as possible.

"M0ONTIDE" IS COMING TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY
French Actor Jean Cabin Makes Debut : Ida
 Lupino Co., starred

A screen event of major import ance will take place tonight at the goth Century Theatre when Jean Cabin, the great French star, makes his American film debut in goth Century -Fox's "Moontide," the stirring story of life along the Paci- fife waterfront, adapted from the best-selling novel of Willard Rob- ertSon.
 Cabin, who in recent years has been recognized as the greatest star of French films, gives a perform ance which is said to outshine any of his previous characterizations in a part which is tailor-made for his virile type of acting. It is a credit to his studio that "Moontide' was picked as the vehicle to best in- troduce Cabin to the great mass of American moviegoers.
 For a co-star, Ida Lupino was chosen. It was felt she could best complement Cabins realistic and powerful role in the film. Thomas Mitchell and Claude Rains, two of Hollywood's outstanding character actors, were added to the cast, and John OHara, the famous novelist was assigned to the adaptation of the story.
 Archie Mayo. noted for his hand ling of many of filmdom's out standing performers was chosen to direct the film. The entire produc- tion was placed in the hands of Producer Mark Hellinger.
 According to preview critics, the transition from French to Ameri- can films, has, for Cabin, been a remarkably successful one. Tn short "Moontide" is a screen event which every moviegoer should experience
