WincheIl Would
ExpeI Hoffman
For Thred+

NEW Y0RK-(FP)-In ma
tionwide broadcast Walter Win
chell, radio commentator and col
umnist, suggested that Rep. Clare
E. Hoffman (R. Mich.) be ex-
PEELED from the house of represen-
tatives and investigated by the
Dept. of Justice for his reported
proposal that the American people
put an end to the playing at war"
by "march on Washington or by
the use of armed forces if neces-
sary."
Winchell pointed out that Hit
ler, too, would like to see people
marching on Washington. He said
that a congressman who suggests
Americans march on Washington
was something like Mussolini
who asked Italians to march on
Rome. He added:
"If Mr.. Hoffman thinks that
armed forces should march on
Washington for any reason, it is
a confession, / think, that it is
too much for him. 1t would be
simpler for the voters in Michigan
to keep the congressman at home
and, unlike the method repeatedly
suggested by Hoffman, this would
be constitutional"

States State Department, to Sec
retary of War Henry L. Stimson,
and to British, Russian and Chin
ese embassies. Producer Winfield
Sheehan feels that delicate inter-
national situations in the story
may have bearing on postwar
settlements, according to the
Hollywood Reporter.
3. The producer actually wants
to be sure of an international mar
ket for the picture because the OPP
position of American labor to fur
ther glorifying Rickenbacker would
make it losing proposition in the
home market alone. AS Sheehan
puts it, he wants to be sure of a
favorable reaction throughout the
world before he gives the go-light"
for the $3,000,000 production
budget.
Pure Entertainment, No Politics
This political angling occurred,
curiously enough, just as Daryl
Zanuck, the production brains of
Goth Century-Fox, stated publicly:
"We are not in politics and we do
not intend to get into politics. Our
business is entertainment"
He did not have the Ricken-
backer film in mind, but his own
picture about Woodrow Wilson. A
Cleveland newspaperman wired
that it was reported to be fourth
term propaganda, and Zanuck re-
torted that if it is a boost for
Roosevelt it is equally boost for
Wendell l.. Willkie:
"Both President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Willkie seem to see eye to eye
on this question of world collabora-
tion to avoid future wars"
1t is Zanuck's contention that
he can make film about the life
Of Woodrow Wilson without any
political connatations.
Well skip that and merely rest
assured by his indication that the
film is not emotionally slanted to
please the isolationists. Believe
it or not, anuck, but that could
be done too, under the same slogan
of pure entertainment from pure
history. s

Myth Exploded

NEW YORK-(FP)-Exploding
the myth that merchant seamen
make big money shipping out
these days, the Natl. Maritime
Union (CIO) established before
the shipping panel of the Natl.

wages for seamen averaged only
SL67713, including bonuses and
every other type of payment but
food and lodging on board ship.
Annual income of an army private
has been estimated by federal

agency in which the U. S. War

Kent Smith Now
A "Pin-up Man"

II has followed in recent years
that Hollywood stars who yearn
to act have booked the Super Chief
to New York at mere mention Of
a good script lurking in the the
atrical Forties. Their envious look
in the direction Of Broadway has
become more intensified since Kent

scene. Young and popular Mr..
Smith, who is currently co-starred
opposite Anna Sten in "Three Rus

unteer nurses at the fighting front
at the Esquire Theatre this week
tru United Artists release has a
right to enjoy an envied position.
He can boast a large share Of

When the young star realized
that acting was to be career, he
set out to do a thorough job in
preparing for it. After college,

sons, the stock company broke up,
and each member determined to
make the grade in New York.
Kent Smith elected to try David
Belasco's doors first. 1t happened
that the famous producer was cast
ing Blind Window" and needed a
young actor for the role of a
prison guard. Belasco insisted that
Smith turn around twice and be-
fore Kent could complete his Sec
ond onceabout he was hired for
the role. Star of that show was
Clark Gable.
One break and a succession of
leading Broadway parts kept Kent
Smith busy and happy. His New
York stage appearances were in
"Dodsworth." Saint joan" "The
Wingless Victory" and Candida. :"
Once established as a much
sought-after leading man on the
stage, Kent began to listen to Hol-
lywood offers. Movie fans who see

that Kent Smith is one of film
dom's most attractive "Pin-Up

he will probably join combat units
raiding Europe, although as
squadron commander, he will 90

Recognized as an Al pilot, and
one who really understands planes.
Stewart has been described by his
station commander as zone of my

spend the most time with him, he
never took any screen assignment
as seriously as he does his present
war job. All in all, despite his per-
