Capt. Jimmy Stewart Declines
Offer of Promotion to Major
BY the Associatee Press

BY the Associated Press.
A UNITED STATES LIBERATOR
BOMBER BASE, England, Jan. 27.-
Capt. Jimmy Stewart, formerly oil
Hollywood and now leader of a
Liberator bomber squadron, is the
talk Of his airmates at this base
because he startled a superior officer
by turning down a promotion to
major.
Friends OF the actor, who won his
wings the hard way, quoted him as
explaining his refusal by saying he
did not want to be raised to higher
rank until my junior officers get
promoted from lieutenant"
Capt. Stewart remained silent
about the incident because, like
Capt Clark Gable, he has been
assiduously avoiding the limelight
since he reluctantly granted a press
conference on his arrival two
months ago.
Capt. Stewart has piloted his
bomber on three raids-as squad
ron commander he flyes only occa-
sionally-and fellow flyers say he
did swell job"
On the ground he puts in long
hours at executive work. One night
an officer found him plugging away
at 2 am. and commented: You're
working pretty late"
"Oh, lots Of them work late around
here" he replied quietly.
Friends say Capt. Stewart has
avoided social gatherings, except for
occasional appearances at the Of
flcers' Club, where he usually is the
life of the party and the groups
favorite pianist.
The best testimonial to his career

The rounder would have unloaded
his hat, coat and winning smile at
the Anchor Room anyway. But
there was added provocation Mon
day night, a duo Of unprovocative
though pleasant entertainers sink
ing their teeth, as it were, into the
rooms brass railings for the first
time. Helen Lee. brunette, petite
and inclined to emotionalize song
is the singer of the team. Bobby
BatSon, who doesn't look day older
than any ridiculously low age you
care to name, is the teams pianist
and apparent quarterback. They
sound better from the lobby" replied
a staff member upon consultation,
an unkind If partially relevant COM
ment, as it developed. The Lee
Batson, as first-nighters, had yet to
gauge the intricacies of volume con-
troll in q room which has more
cubic feet Of pillar proportionately
than the catacombs of Rome. The
Batson chords frequently jiggled the
ice in the patrons tasty, tangy
cherry cokes. But as the volume
gradually diminished through the
evening, so increased the applause.
BY midnight, one would daresay,
the piano would have been inaudible
anyway, midnight revelry being
what it is
The Ell Patio had nothing Of a
brand-new nature to offer. There
was Goldie-as-usual, leaning with
some fatigue against his chart desk;
Maestro Miles Hallett against a wall
quaffng large urns of ice water,
Maestro Jack Little ("Wee Jack
Wee') biting out f1gurations and
cadenzas on his or-studded
piano, Jane Evers making final ad-
justments in complexion and hair
do. OF course, you might say there
was nothing precisely old-hat In
Mr.. Little's present act, which does
not consist of music alone but of
retelling jokes and gags between
solos. Seeing and hearing Miss
Evers alone at a microphone Is
rather a novel experience, patrons
having grown accustomed to that
young lady as a counterpart Of a
band. To see Mr.. Hallett enjoying
a quiet glass of water while there
is music in the room is likewise
novel.
Gustave Heintze was present In
the 1923 to report on the condition
of his stricken brother, intimating
that Oscar will be ready to resume
his part in duo-pianist chores some
time next month. Mr.. Heintze
(Gustave) still likes to r,iminate
over the prospects Of going Holly
woodward, to nestle in that
self f-contained universe as music
for the stars. Ma
tional selective service may have
something to say about that in the
meantime.
In rapid succession, Fred, the head
waiter; Roger, the majordomo; Bud
NAPLES, the bandleader; Charee
Moyse, the singer, and Herb, the
owner, f1oated across the wavy hori-
zon of the Del Rio. General paus-
ing and dispensing of pleasantries;
a lengthier lingering over the sub
ject Of Mr.. Waples' background,
which is mostly Midwestern, most
ly lacking in notoriety. Mr.. Waples'
music, on its first local visit, proved
solidly sociological-which Is to say,
OF the society" type. Said Mr..
NAPLES, rising on a cue from his
concertmaster: well, got to 60 now.

Obviously, it was time to 60, and

Brown Pleads Guilty
In Fight al WINK

i Radio Announcer Sam Brown
pleaded guilty in Municipal Court
today to simple assault on a fellow
announcer, Tony Wakeman, while
the latter was hroadcasting a
sports program over Station WINK
August 81.
Judge Nathan Margold referred
the case to the probation officer for
investigation and report before he
passes sentence about three weeks
hence. The charge had been re-
duced from the original count of
assault with a dangerous weapon,
the weapon having been the leg of a
piano bench, according to police.
Both announcers, who were no
longer with WINK, were in court
this morning and later conferred
with the probation officer.
Both seemed careful to avoid an
exchange OF words or even glances.
Mr.. Wakeman would not say if he
planned to carry the case further.
Mr.. Brown said Mr.. Wakeman
slapped him while he was broadcast
ing and he struck back while Mr..
Wakeman was on the air.
Mr.. Wakeman said he will open a
sport broadcast over Station WWDC
September Is. Mr.. Brown would not
discuss his plans. The two quarreled
over who should broadcast a race
result.
