Movie Actress
Has Own Teeth
in New Picture

HOLLYWOOD, July 21-(P)
For the first time in six years
on the screen, Joan Carroll cur
rently is appearing in picture
with all her own teeth!
At first gance, that may seem
a bit startling, but please rem
ember, Miss Carroll is only II
years old.
She hastens to explain
She is just growing girl and,
what with incisors, .bicuspids
and whatnot falling out at odd
moments, her film career has
been pretty tough going, at
times.
"I had-I still have - eight
different plates or films or
stow-ins or whatever you call
Them" Joan explains.
Every time one of my teeth
fell out, we'd go to a dentist
and have a replacement made,
and l dedn't like it.
"Now, all my teeth are my
own"
And that's more than a lot of
screen players can say!

treaty-protected free inter-
change of news as an instru-
meant for lasting peace became
national goal today of the two
major political parties.
Agreeing with the country's
leading editors that the "freer
flow" among the peoples of
ideas and goods" will con-
tribute to world development
and tranquility in the postwar
years, the Democratic conven-
ton wrote. into its 1914 plat
form:
1--WE believe in the world
right of all men to write, send
and publish news at uniform
communication rates and with
out interference by government
or private monopoly, and that
right should be protected by
treaty.
The Republican, who met
here in June, adopted a plank
asserting that "all channels of
news must be kept open with
equality Of access to informa-
ton at the source" and that if
agreement can be achieved
with foreign nations to estab-
lish the same principles, it will
be a valuable contribution to
future peace"
Declarations favoring the un-

news as a means of stimulating
understanding among nations
that will serve as guarantee
against future wars were advo-

the auction and details of ex-
