Press Club Blacklist
No Kiss of Death
By the Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD.
Cooperation with interviewers is
not the determining factor in the
success of screen stars, judging from
the results of the polls of the Wom-
ems Press Club of Hollywood.
Any list of unco-operative play
ers is as Star-studded as the list
of co-operators lauded by the or
ganization. Enrol Flynn, Ronald Col
man, Spencer Tracy, Bing Crosby,
Charles Boyer, Greer Carson, Greta
Carlo, Ginger Rogers and Marlene
Dietrich, notably unco-operative
with the press, seem to do very
well at the boXoffices, at least as
well as Bob Hope, Gary Grant,
George Murphy, Ann Sheridan, Lu-
cille Ball and Bette Davis, named
as favorites now and in years past.

WILLkIE MAKES

dell l.. Willkie in an address here
on Lincoln's birthday charged the
Democratic Administrator is foster
ing disunity on the home front and
warned I'VE cannot survive as a
nation divided against itself, and
the penalty for disunity is as heavy
today as in Lincoln's time. Indeed,
it may be greater
In an extemporaneous talk, he
said "if the Republican Party is
elected in 1914 and if again in 1852,
the head of that Party will get the
illusions of his indispensability
thrown out, don't care who he is.
We must not entrust too much power
to one man too long"
In the address at the banquet,
Willkie said: we need a new
leader who doesn't hold in his mind,
bitter or triumphant memories, a
leader who does not think the ma
ton is made up of groups of people
who can be played against each
other to insure his continuing in
power, leader who recognizes all
groups as an essential part Of
America, leader with malice to-
ward none"

Objective,
RED ARMIES
Would Give Russians Good
Position 10 Clear Ndzis
from Baltic Area

MOSCOW, Feb. 14.-Pskov, gate
way to Latvia and Lithuania, felt
the pressure of two Russian armies,
one driving southwark from the
lower end Of Lake Peipus toward
Pskov Lake, and the other south
westward down the Leningrad high
way and railway, portion OF
which is in Soviet hands south OF
captured Luga.
Pskov is an important railway
and highway junction point where
Gar Nicholas abdicated at the rail-
way station there in 1917. -Four
main highways run III and out of
Pskov, and the Russians are 40
miles away at the closest point.
Should they be able to reach the
city in great numbers. the Ger
mans would be cut off from retreat
through Lake linen and the STAR
ava Russo sector
The possession of Pskov would
give the Russians an extremely adj
vantageous position from which to
launch operations to clear the Ger
mans from the Baltic republics and
Estonia, and can virtually cut off
Germany by drive westward from
Pskov.
1t is only IS miles from Pskov to
Walk Junction which controls every
highway and railway into Estonia,
then it is just so more miles to
Riga, Latvia.
1t is expected that an about
battle at Pskov would prove one OF
the wars most important A dis
patch from Prayda said the Ger
mans are mining Pskov and the
Luga highway and blowing up the
bridges.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Over at
the Office of the Coordination of
Inter-American Affairs, they are
piling up file on one of the amaz-
ing industrial stories of this war.
Much of it is a military secret, but
some of it can be told now. It's
the search for tantalite in the
scorched mountains of northeastern
Brazil.
Few people ever heard of tanta-
lite. 1t was virtually unknown in
1927, when it was commercially
mined for the first time. 1t wasn't
until 1910 that it became a vital
war mineral. sought by every ma
ton. However, since our enemies
don't know to what use we are
putting it, very little can be said.
