CORNERS AND CANYONS

NEW YORK-Now it comes out in
the papers why the publishers of
one of the best selling books of the
year were long unable to get in
touch with the author. The man
was in prison. He had been CON
victed, probably without just cause,
of connection with bank robbery.
Later he was released on an order
from the state pardon board Then
there was an argument as to wheth-
er the order was conditional or UNI
conditional, and after year he was
sent back to prison on the charge of
having violated his parole In
prison he developed the desire to
write, and thought he could do a
book. So he wrote Heaven Is a
Windswept HILL" Earl Guys swift
flowing drama of Mississippi flood.
1t was several years before any
one in New York knew that o.
Henry had been a federal prisoner
for a technical violation of the
banking laws. There are still men
here who knew him when he was
just coming into his fame. One of
them is Henry j. Bryan-Ashwell He
was with McClure's Magazine, and
intimately acquainted with the soft
spoken southerner destined to be-
come the supreme master of the
American short story. ut was a
long time" Mr.. Ashwell says, "be-
fore we knew anything about his
past life. o. Henry would talk
about anything on earth but himself,
and was always a man of mystery
Our main trouble was that we never
knew where to find him. He would
change lodgings over night, and
leave no word behind, and there
would be times when his publishers
would have to send out searchers
W run MIN uOWl. n man lIOIU
Texas was engaged for while to
do nothing but keep track of him,
SO he could be reached without a
city-wide sleuthing."
Then there was the man whom o.
o. Mcintyre wrote about in the
magazine article on THE Prisoner
] Trusted" This man was in a pen
itentiary in the west. Like Earl
Guy, he also wanted to write. So
Mcintyre sent him a typewriter, and
he did series of salable articles
Then on his release he came to New
York and Mcintyre arranged a par
ty for him, attended by magazine
writers, news men and publishers
He made a favorable impression
and the columnist predicted his
large success. Then he left for
home; and behind him trailed g
Understandable string of "bogi'
checks. So the next word thai
came, he was in prison again.

FDR'S BEWILDERMENT

In his last radio talk, the President said:
i confess that myself am sometimes bewldered by
conflicting statements that in the press One day

equally authoritative that the will still be going on

of this confusion.

The placing of a million or more

of impressing the enemies of man
kind that these wars are to occur
no more. History books should re-
cord that this was in retaliation of
the COMMUNICATIONS bru-

be brought to the attention of the

over. The trouble with most hui

HULL TALKS ON MOSCOW
 CONFERENCE
Secretary of State Sees End of Is0Idtism in
 United States

MOSCOW, Nov .2.-Secretary of State Cordell Hull views the achievements of the Moscow con- ference which established a broad basis for postwar political and econ omic cooperation as rendering as impossible any isolationism on the part of the United States, Britain or the Soviet Union.
 He was gratified. he said, when the Soviet leaders turned away isolationism and accepted what he described as policy of moderate international cooperation.
 Recalling the prewar aloofness of the United States, Secretary Hull expressed the belief that people everywhere are now convinced of the necessity for practical international cooperation to avert another war.
 This cooperation, he said, will take concrete form in London in a few weeks when the new European Advisory Commission created by  the Moscow Conference assemblies to continue the work started at the Moscow meeting.
 This body is composed of high permanent officials of the State Departments from each of the three major powers, and will take up matters pertaining to the winning of the war and the settling of the peace as well as seeing that peace is kept up after victory.
 Hull said he was deeply impress ed by the Russians and declared the United States and Russia are better friends because of the con- ference, better friends than they could have been without it.

The W ashinqton rY-Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tnajor Robert .. Allan on active dutyJ

(AAyoY Hooott .. Aueu uu ~Cssvo o""'
 WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice Bill Douglas, whose sense or hunior always is great cheerer-up to the President. is telling this story on himself.
 When the American Medical As sociation case was before the Su- preme Court, Dr. Morris Fishbein pointed out to the AMA attorneys that oral argument in the case would begin on Friday and continue on Monday. Therefore, he suggest ed that if their argument didn't get across with the learned Justices on Friday, they should switch to new line on Monday.
 That's fine replied the attor- neys, but how are we going to find out how the justices like our argu- ment?"
 That's simple replied Fishbein, just see what they say to each other about it."
 And how will we listen in on their conversational" asked the in- trigued, but puzzled lawyers.
 That again is simple" replied Fishbein, according to Justice Douglas version of the story. We will hire lip-readers to watch them" :"
 The lawyers confessed that the idea, though novel, was worth try ing. So they employed two lip readers, brought them into court early and made sure that they had front seats. One lip-reader was de- tailed to watch one side of the bench, the other kept his eyes glued on the other side.
 The session on Friday was long and bit dreary. Except for Jus tice Felix Frankfurter. who habit ually fires long series of ques- tions at the attorneys, the justices kept solemn silent faces. Felix, as usual. kept up a barrage of cross examination.
 Finally, Justice Douglas leaned over and make a remark to Justice Stanley Reed.
 After it was all over the Medical Association attorneys gath CT e round the two lip-readers As Jus tice Douglas tells the story, the lip readers were quite discouraging There is very little to report" they said
 But what did Justice Douglas say to Justice Reed?" asked the lawyers
 We're afraid it won't be much help to you replied one lipreader but anyway here it is: Justice Douglas leaned over to Justice Reed and said: When is Felix going to keep his = trap shut"

Public Opinion Polls To Be Concluded; First
 Of Kind Taken by Govt.
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-One of the frequently unhappiest, often scrappiest, divisions of the War Production Board is the Office of Civilian Requirements. headed by Arthur D. Whiteside
 His primary objective is to see that the war effort isn't hampered by bottlenecks in civilian necessi- ties. There is no intention on the part of the government to fix things up so that civilians in wartime can rock in the lap of luxury, but it does recognize that there is civilian supply m in mu m below which health, morale and efficiency might break down and cause home front setbacks just as vital as the loss of important battles on the fighting front.
 That's why OCR is going directly to the source within the next few l weeks with one of the most exten- sive public opinion polls that the government has yet conducted. It's going to be cross-section Sampling of the nations housewives to find out just what war economy has done to homelife and home man. agement; to list all the civilian gripes as well as the sacrifices which are being made cheerfully and might even be extended; and to check up on those things, both national and sectional, which are causing the greatest civilian grief.
