MISS. PATENOTRE NOW
 ABROAD

Mrs. Patenotre, daughter of James Elverson, former owner of the h. quirer, married Frenchman, and Alvord told U. s. Tax Court Juoge Kern, that she is now in Occupied France, where he cannot communi- cate with her Despite his claim, the U. s. Censor has intercepted messages which Alvord has sent to his client in Switzerland, where, however, she may have gone more recently.
 When the Treasury first bump ed into this tax case, they went to Harry P. Faulkner, formerly of the Bankers Trust. now farming at Wingdale, N. Y, who acted as Mrs. Patenotre's fiscal agent. At first he was quite willing to talk. Then Alvord got to him. and he shut up like clam.
 Meanwhile, the Treasury has taken the unusual step of placing jeopardy assessment against J. P. Morgan and Company to tie up about $3,000,o00 of Mrs. Patenotre's funds on deposit there. The total tax bill against her, with penalties,

NO PROBLEM SOON

At present, according to high Government of fical large sections of the American people to have no idea of the gravity of the situation concern ing the war the great problem is to keep them on their toes Tn other words, the American people are leaving the game in the seventh inning, just because their side seems to be ahead.
 One of the means of combating this attitude is the release of the official Marine Corps film of the bloody battle of Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands This picture made by Marine Corps cameramen, two of whom were killed in the filming, and from all indications the movie is capable of routing the worst of complacency
 However says this official, the American people going to get such jolt when the real invasion of Europe starts that arguments will be needed on the home front other than casualty lists He predicts that the invasion will bring terrific casualties perhaps three times as many as the United States has suffered far.
 The people who running this war for the United Nations know that bombing offensive alone will not bring about collapse in Germany and they

HISTORY OF PATENoTRE CASE

When the Inquirer was sold, pay ments were very carefully arranged to be made in Canada, where the Treasury would not be able to find out what was happening. On March 4 l930, payments totaling $l0,500,- GOO were made through the Royal Bank of Canada in Montreal
 Alvord represented to the Treas ury that Mrs Patenotre had made a gift of all Philadelphia Inquirer stock to her son Raymond. prior to the sale, that she therefore did not benefit from the sale. and that her net income was only s28.282l6
 When the Treasury investigated the matter back in 1881 in the Hoover Administration. Alvord went to Europe and came back with a sworn affidavit which he signed himself and which satisfied Hoover officials. They closed the Paten- otre case.
 But now. the Treasury has dis covered some sensational new evil dence in the Royal Bank of Can- ada. Though Alvord claimed Mrs. Patenotre had given her son all stock from the Philadelphia In quirer. the records of the bank show that it gave Mrs. Patenotre, not her son, certificate of deposit for cash received from Annenberg on the sale Of the Inquirer.

Another is Arthur Kent, former assistant general counsel of the Treasury. Another is Fred Lee, Democrat who was given a jail sentence for destroying records during Hugo Blacks Senate Investigation of lobbying, but later won out on appeal.
 These men really know taxes. And big business long ago discover ed that, if it wanted tax job done in Washington, the Alvord firm could do it.
 One of Alvords biggest tax cases began shortly after he got out from under Andy Melons tutelage in l930, when he handled the taxes of Mrs. Eleanor Patenotre following the slo,5oo,0oo sale of the Philadel- phia Inquirer to the late Moe An nenberg. Alvord filed for Mrs. Patenotre an income tax return showing a net income of only s28,- 232.16. Yet the Treasury now claims that Mrs. Patenotre received a total net profit of $8,69615l from the sale of the Philadelphia Inquirer. This profit was estimated after fig uring deductions and expenses from the slO,50oO00 sale
 Though the transaction occurred thirteen years ago, the Treasury bumped into this situation only a short time ago. According to U. s. Tax Court records, here is the req son why.

HOLLYWOOD,


Celluloid parade.
RKO's Man From Down Under"
is Hollywood's most interesting
visitor this week. He is Ralph r.
Doyle, who heads the sale and dis
tribution of that company's pictures
to Australia's 1000 theaters. Doyle
came over on the same boat with
Prime Minister John Curtin and
Australia's four-star general, the
picturesque Tom Blamey. and is
busy now looking over new film
products.
A debonaire, naIive-born Aus
tralian, in the amusement field all
his life, Doyle revealed many inter-
esting sidelights on the tastes Of
theater-goers in his country. Movie
business is booming down there,
just as it is here, he says, but their
setup on favorite personalities is
quite bit different.
Greer Carson Is by far the most
popular of the feminine stars"
Doyle said. "Deanna 'Durbin, Betty
Cradle, Claudette Colbert, Judy
Garland and Teresa Wright follow
in that order. Among the men,
Bob Hope tops them all. Tyrone
Power, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper
and Spencer Tracy are all well up
there, too"
Doyle says if he had his way,
producers would concentrate on
gambling and horse-race pictures.
Australians line up for blocks for
a picture Of that type. That's be-
cause Doyle's countrymen are great
gamblers. Horse racing is perma-
nent institution and there's one or
more tracks running all the time.
Biggest crossing picture we've
had in several years was Mr..
Lucky" Doyle pointed out. "You
see, 1t not only starred the very
popular Cary Grant, but it had
gambling as its central theme. This
picture played to extended runs
everywhere. wish We could get q
lot more of the same type"
War pictures are strictly taboo
with Australians, he said, and if
his exhibitors had their way none
would be shipped from the United
States. The people can't be dragged
in to see even the best of them.
Those that are forced to play are
disguised in the billing and some
times the patrons howl bitterly,
even If they have to see one on
the tail end of double feature.
Discussing the tremulous state of
affairs throughout his country when
the Japs threatened invasion, Doyle
said many Of the business firms in
Sydney, his own included, put up
barbed wire entanglements around
their premises and collected ma
chine guns for last-ditch defense.

popular man who ever stepped foot

German command in the past few months"
 The Russians had almost "com- pletely covered" the city with massed artillery, Tfansocean said
 Novgorod, communications cen- ter on one of the main supply lines to Leningrad, was captured by the German on Aug. 25, 194l and the intervening months the enemy built around it one of the most formid- able hedging defense lines on the Russian front to protect the flank of their Baltic and Gulf of Fin land forces.
 The fall of Novgorod also exposed Staraya Russa, 40 miles to the south, to attack from the Krear around the west coast of Lake linen.
 Govorovs twin drives 100 miles to the north, meantime, were re- ported by Moscow to have smashed the great concentration of giant, permanently -emplaced siege guns west and south of Leningrad, at last relieving Russia's second largest city of the nightmare of daily bombardment.
 Front dispatches said the two Leningrad armies had broken through fortified forests and swamps in open ground almost 20 miles
