. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
3 we had only 17,5O0,0O0 gallons

we had only 17,500,000 gallons
of blending spirits, and that was
less than enough, even at cur
rent low rates of consumption,
to last through this year.
If we use up our blending
spirits and do not replace them,
we shall all be forced onto a diet
of straight whisky So far as
quality goes, that should be no
hardship. But it would raise
the dickens with quantity.
Over all, the whisky that we
buy has about two parts of neu-
trail spirits to every five parts
of whisky. The brands vary
from bottled in bond with no
neutral spirits to one very popu-
lar trademark that is only one
third whisky, the rest being
neutral spirits.
AS long as we have plenty Of
blending spirits, the whisky al
ready in storage can be expand
ed to keep us drinking regular
ly if not plentifully. So don't
be disturbed if the distillers
make much more neutral spirits
than whisky. That will be the
smartest thing they can do, from
our standpoint as consumers.

By s. BURTON HEATH

There appears to be some mis-
understanding about the war
production holiday that Donald
Nelson has granted to distillers
for the month of August. In case
you happen to be interested,
here are some facts about it.
The nations distillers can
and probably will-make about
20 million gallons of 190-proof
firewater during August. BY the
time that has been watered
down to potable liquor it will
be enough, in theory, to make
200 million "fifths' of rye and
Bourbon and gin.
That sounds like a lot, and
really it amt hay. But it's lot
less than you might think, and
besides, it's purely hypothetical,
In 1912 it required 90 million
gallons of whisky and 81 mil
lions of neutral spirits to wet the
national whistle. That is more
than six times what can be dis
titled during the August holi-
day.
In 1943 we put sc million gal
Ions of whisky and Is millions
of neutrsl spirits down the
hatch-more than four times
what can be M ~ in August.
Even in the fiYs four months
of this year, while we were COM
planning loudly that whisky
couldn't be bought, we managed
to guzzle more ID million gal
Ions of whisky and almost nine
millions of neutral spirits.
Mr.. Nelson and the War Pro
duction Board are not putting
the distillers back into the Whis-
ky business. All they did was
say, in effect: .-.---.
I'm October, 1912, we made
you give up producing whisky
and begin making industrial al
cohol because we needed your
facilities. Now we can spare
you for one month. It's up 70
you-and the War Foods Ad-
ministration-what you do with
that month.
"You can close shop and give
all the boys and girls vacation,
or you can make whisky-if you
can get grain for tor you can
make blending spirits"
The distillers aren't going to
take vacation. Neither are
they going to make much Bour-
bon. Corn is too scarce and too
much needed for other purposes
They can make rye, because rye
grain is relatively plentiful
Some will do that. Others will
make neutral spirits-powerful
grain alcohol such as few have
even considered drinking since
prohibition was repealed.
Neutral spirits can be used to
make gin, to fortify wines or to
blend WHISTLES. AS a matter OF
fact, the drinkers of this coun-
try need neutral spirits more
than they do whisky right now.
There are close to 270 million
gallons of whisky in storage
four-year supply at the rate il
has been withdrawn since the
first of this year. But on March

handle wolves in Hollywood,
but lions, Leslie Brooks said,
were out of her line.
They were going to introduce
Leslie to the lions at 2:23 p. m.
And, naturally, she was a little
worried.
Someone in the studio public
ity department had dreamed up
the idea of having Leslie Brooks
pose for some pictures with
Clyde Beatty inside a cage full
of lions as a special added at
traction" to the Russell Bros.
Circus. Beatty had assured ev-
erybody that the cage was SAT-
er than a night club dance floor
on a Saturday night. Being a
cooperative soul, Leslie agreed
to the stunt.
We had looked up Leslie after
seeing Cover Girl" She had
given a mighty fine acting per-
Torrance in another curvaceous
meanie role. But we didn't ex-
pect to be lunching with a young
lady about to keep a date with
some lions.
Everything turned out all
right, though The lions, Leslie
reported later, were more docile
than some Hollywood wolves
she had met. The photographers
snapped their pictures and no.
body got hurt.
Her role in Cover Girl" she
said, was the best she had re-
ceived in three years of the
movie wars. But she was get
ting weary of playing meanies.
Let's face it," she said.
There are meanie roles-but
the girl can still be nice"
Leslie has been very, very
bad in her last dozen movies.
In fact, even her family has taxi
en- to calling her "Stinky Mae.
But things are a lot better now,
Leslie had to admit, than when
her hair was brunei instead of
blond. Her name was Lorraine
Gettman and she was one of
the Navy Blues" sextet at War
ner Bros.
All she did was pose for
"cheesecake" and tour the ma
tons theater stages to ballyhoo
Navy Blues" The tour was
very dull, she remembered.
1t was after this publicity tour
that she changed her name and
the color of her hair and signed
a new contract at Columbia
studio. They put her into boss
operas at first, then graduated
her to meanie roles.
Now, as result of Cover
Girl" there's talk of stardom.
At the moment she's co-star-
ring with Steve Crane, the gen.
tleman Lana Turner doesn't
want but Columbia studio does,
in some dramatics no one will
ever see. Leslie and Steve take
dramatic lessons together every
day. It's part of Cranes pre-
camera work before Columbia
casts him in a picture.
Hes going TO be a great act
or" Leslie said. He knows
how TO handle lines and he
knows what it's all about"
A KILLER" MODEL
Leslie halls from Lincoln,
Neb., and spent much Of her
childhood with grandparents
who ran the hotel at Crofton,
New. She went TO school in
Omaha and Hollywood. She
first attracted Hollywood's at
tention as a model by her por-
trayals of beautiful killers for
the covers of sundry horror
magazines.
Her customary prop on these
occasions was a dagger dripping
with blood. The dagger was
real; the blood, ketchup.
