husband, David Sarnoff, in peacctime
the distinguished son of the president
of r. c. A, in wartime, just another
naval ensign.
There were even more SOLDERING
cases. With all his millions, Alexis
Thompson, then a private and now a
lieutenant, was reported on the verge
of a crackup with his wife, Anne st.
George; and the Winston Guests
he's the polo playing second cousin
of Prime Minister Churchill-were
straining at the leash. They're di-
vorced now, on the heels Of Winston's
boost TO a 2nd lieutenancy in the
Marines.
Mimi observed all this and then she
leaped, with her eyes wide open,
right into the arms of Brigadier Gen
eral Edward II. Alexander, COM
mander of the Caribbean Wing of the
Air Transport Command.
The general probably thought it
was a mirage at first. AT least, it
must have been a little hard for him
TO sec how his past working as a
farm hand on his fathers farm, win.

THEY were both top-flight New
York society glamour girls-in
pre-war days.
Both recently got divorces and
married army men.
Both are now living within shoot
ing distance of each other in Florida.
With all that in common, you'd
think that Charlotte (Hot-Cha Chot-
tie) Milburn, niece of the late great
polo player, Devereux Milburn, and
Gloria (MimD Baker, daughter of
Mrs. Margaret Emerson and half
sister of George and Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt, might be seeing n good
deal of each other these days.
But they aren't, because Minis
new husband, Edward II. Alexander,
an erstwhile Illinois farm boy, is a
general, while Earl II. Mote, Chottie's
fourth and latest spouse, is only a
sergeant.

That last criterion is not only a
novelty in this country but a revolu-

has abased the patrician and elevated

Others have stepped straight from

marriage were these:
Mr. Wright put on a private skeet
shoot, using an innocent neighbor as
a clay pigeon fortunately he
missed. Then he played hare and
hounds with the entire Madison,
Conn, constabulary, escaped TO sea
with Chottie in a motor boat and
finally was cut down by a Coast
Guard cutter.
These shenanigans earned him the
title of "One-Man Riot" and a three
month stretch in the pokey. When he
got out, Chottie married him, be-

Disappointed in this expectat

of a general.

question, was born "a years ago in
Newcastle, Australia, has never been

ADVICE TO L~EGI0NNAIRE
Cby JULIUS z. HILL)


If he should ask you for some
dough.
Don't say you've none to spare;
Don't bawl him out and turn him
down,
He may be a LegiOnnaire!
If he should grippe about his plight
And seem in black despair,
Don't laugh at him-make him
feel cheap,
He may be a legionnaire.
Don't shun him if he needs a
shave,
And some clean clothes to wear
Perhaps he's really in tough lucl
And may be a legionnaire.
If he's just an ex-serviceman,
Give him some friendly care,

 WILL BE CROSSROADS
 OF WORLD, SAYS PLUMLY

WASHINGTON The region of the north pole may become "the crossroads of the world" Rep. Plumly, Vermont Republican, told the House yesterday in urging ap- proval of a million dollar appropri- ation for exploration of petroleum reserves in Alaska.

 The appropriation included a thirty-two billion dollar naval sup ply bill before the House. Area to be surveyed embraces about 35,O0O square miles bordering the Arctic vicinity of Point Barrow and ex- tending about 130 miles inland.
