NFA staff Correspondent

IN one OF the SIT dIGtSi 'dNL-
ing tricks OF the year, Porter
Hall went TO work before the
cameras yesterday portraying
the role Of the most bitter athc-
ist ever written into a motion
picture. Naturally we rushed
right over to the set.
There would be tho problem,
we knew of how the movie
makers were keeping peace
with the church, And there was
the reason why it was the
strangest casting trick Of the
Porter Hall, deacon Of
the First Presbyterian Church
Of Hollywood, playing an athe-
ist.
We found a problem, all
right, for Halls portrayal Of an
atheist in Bing CroSby's new
picture, Going My Way" Bing
plays a Catholic priest whom
Hall heckles throughout the
film There was a real Catholic
prieS-s Father John Dcvln Of
ST E!ctoq $, as technical adj
wiser.
Yes, Father Devlin had CEN
sored some of Atheist Porter
Halls dialog. But it wasn't
hurting the picture, Director
Leo McCarey said.
Our big problem was Porter
Hall who said he was fed up
with guys like us writing about
his off stage role as deacon of
the First Presbyterian Church
Of Hollywood. Why couldn't we
write a column, he said, about
him playing an atheist without
mention that ne is a church dea-
con?
For years, he said, he had
been playing villains on the
screen And every time ne
played villain, some columniSt
would chuckle about IL i'm print.
He said he was worried about
his fellow deacons who might
think he was trying 70 COM
mercialize on his position with
the church.
MORAL ENDING
We thought this was most UNI
likely, and told Porter so. Be-
sides, isn't he converted in the
final scene Of the picture? 1t
was a role with moral. Having
good churchman play an athe-
ist who is converted. we
thought, was better than having
a none-churchgoer play the
role.
We had Porter there. He
agreed on that point. But he
was still tired, he said, about as
SoCiating his film roles with his
work IN the church. Couldn't
we write the column without
mentioning it?
No, we said, we didn't think
so
SO Porter worried about what
his fellow dcacons would think

told us about his role in the
film. He played a contractor, he
said, who just didn't believe i'm

HERBERT CLARK HOOVER

Herbert Clark Hoover, 3lSt
President of the United States,
was born at West Branch, Ia,
Aug 10. 1874 the second son of
jesse and Hudah (Mn,horn)
Hoover
His father was the village
blacksmith The family, traced
It's ancestry TO Andrew Hoover,
born i'm the Palatinatc, who mi
grated 20 America in 1893, set
tied IN Pennsylvania and later
moved ON TO Maryland and
North Carolina.
The Minthorn family, also OF
Quaker faith as far back as
there is any record, was English
i'm blood and came 10 the United
States by way Of Canada, ac-
cording TO tradition
Hcrberts father died when
the boy was s years old and his
mother died when he was 9.
When Herbert was Il, he left
for Newbcrg, Ore, where he
joined another uncle John Mint
horn, head Of a Quaker develop
ment, who had established an
academy.
At IA, Herbert moved 10
Salem, Ore, as office boy 70 his
uncle when MinthOrn merged
the development company with
the Oregon Land Company.
CHOOSES ENGINEERING
There an unknown mining
engineer interested Herbert in
engineering over the protests
OF Iowa relatives, who felt the
established Quaker institutions
Of learning offered all in an
educational way that anyone
might require, Hoover determin-
ed to enter a new university be-
ing opened by Senator Leland
Stanford in Palo Alto, Cal, in
the fall of 1891.
Hoover failed 10 pass the en-
trance examinations, so went to
Palo Alto few weeks before
the beginning of the fall term TO
be tutored in mathematics and
English.
Hoover did so and at II enter
ed the university. He was con-
ditioned in English, however,
and throughout his college days
had great difficulty in master
ing the composition of his native
tongue. He passed finally, al
most on the eve of his gradua-
ton.

cam 10 mean something TO him,
and when the threat of a rise of
Nazi terrorism in this country
became apparent TO him, he de-
cided 20 do something about il
10 prevent a made in Europe to-
talitarlanism from happening
here.
LEARNS SECRETS
Posing as an Italian. becoming
the publisher of fake anti.
American pamphlet himself, he
succeeded in joining some 30
odd anti-American organizations
working in this country before
the war and learning their Sc
crets, The book is a record of
what he discovered.
What is not made plain in the
book is that Derounian 49, after
getting his own start and after
making preliminary survey of
the New York Fascist scene for
Fortune magazine, which later
dropped the project - became a
chief investigator for The
Friends Of Democracy" which
really enabled the job TO be
done. This little-known organi-
zation, founded and headed by
the Rev. L. M. Birkhead, Uni
tartan minister Of Kansas City,
Mo, really deserves much OF
the credit for making possible
the publication of Under Cow
err in its present form After
Derounian had all his material,
IT was checked against Birk-
heads files.
The material was dynamite.
Nineteen publishers turned il
down before f. p. Dutton took
il on, and that was only the be-
ginning Of the trouble. The pos
sibilities for libel suits are still
tremendous, but perhaps the best
testimonial for the job Deroun-
ian has done is that while a num-
Der of the characters whose
deeds he exposes have threaten
ed to sue for damages, 10 date
not one suit has actually been
filed.
ATTACK BOOK
Efforts 10 diScredit the book,
the author, Friends of Democ-
racy and the Rev Mr.. Birkhead
have been numerous. The YER
min press, - which is still per-
mtted 10 publish in free Amer
lea has been rabid in criticism.
Congressman Clare Hoffman Of
Michigan, whose iSolationist &C
Invites are mentioned not too
favorably in Under Cover" has
introduced a critical review in
the Congressional r Or d.,
though not attacking the book
directly himself.
Under Cover" is open 10
criticism in that il tries too hard
TO make a case TO show that all
the crack pro-FaSciSt and iSola-
zionist activities IN the United
States before and after Pearl
Harbor and right now are link
ed I'm one vast super-duper plot
10 overthrow the American form
Of government Maybe they
were, but 10 date no one has
put the finger on any one foun-
tain head of anti Americanism
Furthermore, Under Cover
tells only half the story. When
you read Il, you want TO keep
in mind Jean Valtin's Out Of
the Night and whatever OF
merit there may be in the in
vestigations of the Dies Commit
tee which do for anti-AmeriCan
Communism what Derounian
does for anti American Nazism.
Taken together, these works
reveal in true proportion the
real dangers, which is a state Of
mind all too prevalent before
the war and apparently not kill
ed by the war. This attitude is a
misguided, misled, miSunder-
standing of what American dem
ocracy and freedom should be
