Robert CapituIates
To Naval Blockade

WASHINGTON, July 2 CUP) =
American naval forces appeared to-
day to have won a bloodless victory
at Martinique with the collapse of
an administration faithful to Vichy.
Paris radio last night confirmed
that Admiral Georges Robert,
Vichy-appointed governor, had been
forced to ask for terms" because
of a famine.
1t was believed that the terms to
be eXacted of Robert would include
transfer of French Warships at
Martinique to the control of French
elements friendly to the United
Nations, and employment of mer-
chant shipping there in the service
of the Allies.

The Zoot Suit

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
The zoot suit, which a few weeks
ago read Its doom In Washington's
edict that 1t is. held in violation OF
the spirit and purpose of. wartime
conservation, today was given a new
lease on life. simultaneously it was
raised to new dignity.
Advised of these points was 20th

asked Qualification of the status of
the over-sized jive dancing toggery

ton the zoot suit will hereafter be

space at the studios with-incon-
gruously enough such swash-
buckling attire as was worn by
dashing knights of old.
While thus doubly identified as
outmoded by the conservation issue
the zoot. suit will accordingly be
preserved for edification of pos

The order clarifying the status of

Lou Costello will be unable to re-
sumo his film work until January at
the earliest. This means that the
team of Abbott and Costello will re-
main out of pictures and possibly
off the air until that time. The boys
have been earning between them
$4,000 a week on the radio, plus
$4,000 week and 10 per cent of the
profits for their picture work. This,
of course, stops now, but the boys
are good businessmen. A few months
ago they took out an insurance pol
icy giving them $1,000 a week each
in case of illness that prohibited
work. And they will receive this
sum until Costello has recovered.

piquancy to life, sent us searching
to determine if any resourcefulness
was left in us.
There was-not much, but enough
to get us through the day.
Our main objective was an inter-
view with Tia Rhodes. Miss Rhodes,
whose name is a kind of abrupt
tone poem, is one of those pretty
windsWept English actresses who
are such a pleasure to the eye, and
such a correlative satisfaction to
interview Miss Rhodes also is the
wife of an Army general, which
ranks her above Joan Crawford,
Norma Shearer, Ginger Rogers or
any other actress you, or we, can
think of.
That was really what We wanted
to talk to Miss Rhodes about: How
it was to be the wife of a general
and to have given up career
to be such.
She is the first actress we ever
heard of who could have spoken
authoritatively on the subject of
marriage-to-ageneral VS.. a career.
We think 1t would have made a
good column, something that would
have inspired women to reflect on
the virtues of domesticity, if not
now, at least after the war. It is

happy again with a Thanksgiving
dinner.
However. to get back to the main
point, Miss Rhodes was a goodly bus
ride away and the goodly bus which
used to run right past the Office door
was going some other way. If, in
deed, it was going at all.
We never did find out which was
the case because all the pedestrian

fused as We were.
