IN the smart Hollywood restaurant
OF eX-Prince Michael Alexandra
\ witch Dmitry Obolensky Romanoff,
onetime fellow traveller of kings and
cops, and Self-made Grand Duke OF all
the Russias, the small fry are the big
fish and celebrities are persons of no
particular consequence 10 anyone.
For four years the magnificent
Muscovite from Brooklyn or Illinois
hds been living on his own money.
The restaurant is popular and profit
able--some say the gross has climbed
20 $4,000 q month-and now that
good Prince Nike can afford TO min.
gle with the rich and roistcrous he
has forsaken the old crowd 10 regain
the common touch.
SO, still the trumpet, Hold the
drum, The Baron of Blatherskite
and Balderdash has DOTTED the purple
The CockleshelI King has abdicated.
And the new Mike, plain every
day Citizen Mike. is an affable, mid
dle-aged Hollywood business man.
He has become as jovial as an insur-
ance executive, as punctilious as a
grocer, and the rubber shortage has
finally extended even 10 his checks.

when the time came for him TO re-
nouncc his many crowns and titles:
MY only consolation is that now

months rent paid in advance and a
checking accountable any peasant"
/ Mike has always been a profound
J one with a keen awareness of what
goes on around him. Once a merry
Robin Hood who took from the rich
to wine and, dine the poor-the poor
always being bland Prince Mike him
Self-he now hobnobs with the movie
coffee and doughnut set.
And Mike, OF whom ii was said
that he never looked more like a real
prince than when he was exposed as

entrance of a ballroom, hand half
extended. Guests invariably mistook
him for the doorman and dropped
their invitations into his hands.
Detained on Ellis Island on one of
his many returns 10 the United States,
he wrote TO Washington for a govern
ment booklet on the tides and cur
rents of New York Bay. The book
came and Mike went-after studying
it a few hours-eluding his guard
and swimming to Manhattan.
Once he registered at a top-flight
New York luxury hotel as the Grand
Duke, without dime in his pocket.
He remembered the wealthy Aneri-
cans he had met in Paris and he be-
gan TO call them up. Invitations to
lunch and presents of cigars and fine
liquor-even an offer of an important
bank post-followed. But no cash.
So Mike began calling other friends
and offering them good buys i'm
choice liquor. In few hours he had
several hundred dollars in his poclS-
cts, a new and expensive suit of
clothes, full stomach and another
crack at this believing world.
But Hollywood was his undoing--
Hollywood, the blue heaven of all
who live by their wits alone.
And the royal knave has now be-
come a solid and law-abiding citizen.

BLOCK DICTATORSHIP

I'VE share the view Of the
Italian Socialist party that italy
should be spared the calamity
Of another regime at Dictator
ship.
I'VE feel that the interests of
American democracy and Just
respect for the sacrifices of life
and blood being made by our
boys i'm Italy, require not only
that We should not favor. hut
that we should oppose actively
the power politics being played
by TOgliatti'S Communists, the
King, his family and his more or
less Fascist or neo-EasciSt gen
erals and supporters.
''In our opinion, any anti
Fascist Italian who Joins HE
Communist sponsored coalition
with the monarchy of Savoy
must he considered liability To
the cause Of Italian democracy"

POPULAR FRONT

In sponsoring the resolution,
Montana charged that the Italian
Communist leader. Tocliatti. is
faVOrlng the coalition government
under Badoglio to repeat the so
called Popular Front technique
used by the Communists in Eu'
rope before the outbreak Of
AAerld War II
I'VE must not forget" he
said. "that this same TOgllatti
was Stains chief brain truster
among the Latin countries of
Europe before the war, when
he directed COmintern policies

Communists.

coalition cabinet, IL will he not
a Sforza or Croce government
but the basis of future
