CAMERAMAN MISSES ONE

Judge Thurman Arnold. who as assistant Attorney General prose- cuted more antitrust suits than any man in history, was in Holly wood, recently, where he graced one of it's fanciest swimming pools.
 In a swimming pool Judge Ar mold is sight to behold. Usually forgetting to take off his black ribboned pince-nez glasses, Thur man lights a long cigar, swims on his back, with the cigar protruding above the water, puffing smoke like a Mississippi steamboat The big corporations wh m Thurman has fined and belabored would give a lot to see their prosecutor thus relaxing.
 On this occasion, Judge Arnold got into conversation on the edge of the pool with bathing beauty Esther Williams, who is also a sight to behold.
 They were sitting together splashing their legs in the water, when a publicity cameraman began to line things up for shot of Miss Williams.
 '"Would you mind moving out of the way?" he called briskly to Judge Arnold, not realizing that he was missing the shot of his life. we want to get Miss Will iams."
 Later, Mrs. Arnold had the time of her life kidding her husband. They didn't know who you were, dear" she said. How things have changed since you went into re- tirement two years agol"

Secretary of States moral embargo of June 13, 1938."
 In other words, Ohio Seamless Tube was shipping to Japan nine months after the embargo.
 The Justice Department also listed as among those willing to continue shipments to Japan after the moral embargo the Thompson Products Company, whose Presi- dent, Fred C. Crawford, is former president of the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers.
 Crawfords company, according to the Mitsubishi agency, was willing to ship valve forgings to Japan on condition that the order sheet listed only style numbers, with other details of the transaction to be handled by confidential memos.
 This was the policy followed by Bethlehem Steel and other com panies, the Jap agent wrote, eX- planning that these companies were afraid not of federal interference with their shipments of war ma- terials to Japan but of difficulties with their workers. The .CIO and AFL were already on record against shipments to Japan, he wrote, and industrialists were afraid of labor trouble if their workers learned the destination of the products they were turning out.

KLEBERG MONEY AIDS O'DANIEL

Last summer, Congressman Dick Kleberg of Texas, part owner of the largest ranch in the world, was exposed as having put three 'teen-old boys on the Federal pay roll, who later kicked back part of their salary to Kleberg's office.
 The Congressman's excuse was that he needed funds to pay his office expenses and balance his budget.
 However, a Senate investigator just returned from Texas, has dis covered that although three young sters were forced to kick back part of their salary, Kleberg's King ranch could afford to contribute total of $2,500 to Senator Pappy ODaniel's hate-Rooseyelt campaign.
 Senator O'Daniel boasts that the money for his radio and his news paper comes from the little people of the state, sent to the Common Citizens Radio Committee" How ever, unless the Kleberg ranch could be called little people," there weren't many little people on the list. The bulk of O'Daniels money came from Sfnator Ed Moore of Oklahoma and big oil han H. R. Cullen. Each kicked in the neat sum of $25.000.
