East cashed two rounds Of
hearts, and Mrs. Rhodes (North)
ruffed the third round. She
realized that in order to make
her contract, she could lose only
one diamond trick. and thus
must find the diamond queen in
the East hand. Having but two
trumps left, she led the diamond
jack, East went up with the ace
and returned a low diamond.
Mrs. Rhodes had formed her
plan Of play, and played low
from dummy, winning in her
own hand. Two rounds of
trumps dropped all except those
left in dummy, and the contract
was fulfilled without using the
ace Of spades.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

When an Army Inspector gen.
eral comes on a military reSer-
walton to give an Army organi-
Zation its official going over, ev-
cry man on the post, civilian or
soldier, is notified and if any one
of them has any complaint TO
make about anything, he can tell
ii to the inspector general as
though he were a father confess
Sor, without fear of later repri-
mand and with assurance that
his complaint will be investigat-
ed.
This is one of the proudeSt
traditions of OTIG-the Office
of the Inspector Generals De-
partment. The complaints they
hear may range from the chron-
ic yowl that the chow is no good
TO complaints that a man has
had no pay for six weeks, that
the post exchange officer is rob-
bing the till, that excessive dis
cipline has been inflicted for a
minor offense, or that some jun
iol officer feels he is being SUBJ
merged by the C. o.
The inspector general is re-
quired to investigate every COM
plant, and woe betide the sem
Tor officer who reprimands a
subordinate for reporting TO the
inspector general.

CHICAGO - Sixty tons Of

there were complaints that

The janitor called the land

who said the coal should be

The 60 tons Of smoking coal

Hollywood miracle workers
really out-did themselves today.
They brought a Brooklyn street
corner of a generation ago, COM
plete with cobblestones, dirty
kids, foot long sausage, brass
bound beer kegs, favored ices
and cigar store Indian, TO a
hillside in Beverly Hills.
And if that wasn't enough,
they took an actor out Of obllV-
ion, gave him a star dressing
room and one of the most Gov
eted screen roles of the year.
1t was all done for the film
version of Betty's Smiths best
selling novel, "A Tree Grows in
Brooklyn" which Goth Century
Fox is putting on celluloid.
The street corner was Taylor
Street and Bedford Avenue,
where the NolanS-Katie and
Johnny and their two children,
Francie and Neeley-battle pow
erty in a small flat on the sec
ond floor back.
The actor whose name most
people had forgotten was Jimmy
Dunn.
Jimmy is the Johnny Nolan of
the screen play-lovable john
ny who could enjoy life if it had
no responsibilities and if Nc
Garrity's saloon wasn't just
around the corner.
Just about every actor in Hol-
lyWood wanted 10 play Johnny
Nolan. But Jimmy got the part.
The studio said he WAS Johnny
Nolan. Hollywood didn't even
know where TO find Jimmy.
Sure, he had been a big star II
years ago in such films as Bad
Girl and Dance Team But he
was washed up. He was through.
He had appeared in a couple
of recent pictures but nothing
had happened.
DUNN? WHY NOT!
They tested lot Of actors for
the role Of Johnny Nolan. None
of them seemed TO fit. Then
someone mentioned j i m m y
Dunns name. Why not? A girl
in the goth Century-FoX casting
office, Gloria Grafton, had heard
Jimmy on radio program.
They called the radio station for
his telephone number. They
gave him a screen test and ne
was sensational.
Il still have 10 pinch myself
10 be sure I'm not dreaming,
Jimmy said. Kids are lucky for
me- 1t was as Shirley Temples
father in Baby Take a Bow
that Jimmy got his first big
break in Hollywood. Now he's
the idol Of Francie and Medley.
The Francie of the screen
story is l2-year-old Peggy Ann
Garner, whose mother brought
her TO Hollywood six years ago
from Canton, O., but who re-
fused to let her acquire glamor.
She kept Peggy plain and nat
ural and for two years casting
directors gave them no work.
Then Peggy played Joan Fon-
tame as child in Jane Eyre,
and the studio remembered her
work when they sought a Fran
Gle.
Her role is one of the most
important of the year 49, more
dialog than Jenniicr Jones had
in Song Of Bernadette."

WHAT KIND OF TELEVlsIok?

Postwar pIonnino in the teIeVisjon industry mas
stirred up bitter fight which has ro9ed, W'tnou'
much publicity, for several weeks. The base ques-
tion is whether the present type of teeVson will con-
tin,ye or whether - and when - sets OF conS'oer-

otter the ends.
When teevision improvement comes, as tt seems
bound to- it must come uPstoIrs in the rooo SPeC'
rup And this Improvement will make present te'eV's
ion equipment not gradually obsoescent, as was the
cose with radio development but suddenly and COM
-pIeteIy worthless So CHS opposes manufacture and
marketing Of preWor-tyPe teleylson Instruments while
Ieisurey improvements are made.
The Federal Commune otons Commission, which
divides and assigns the radio spectrum, is in general
agreement with CBS James L. Fly, FEC chairman,
hos stoted his opposition to any freezing Of teIevIs-
ion standards at their present level for the sake or
selling present-modeI sets.
Opponents of the CHS proposal include officials
of the TeIevsion Broodcosters Association ana the
National Broodcostine CO. Their arguments INCLUDE
the contention that present eIevson standards sot-
isfy legitimate demands; that manufacturers, now
engaged in war work, cannot be expected to work
on hioh-frequency improvements as WE'LL thot such
work would deny employment to returning veterans
1t seems to US that the Chs stand has logic on
it's side Improved teIevison is destined for great
future in entertainment and education. In its COM
merciol application, advertisers will have to conn.,
pete with the movies in entertainment and with COL
or photography in effectiveness They ore going to
want the best So is the public. And those who buy
receivers would be rightfuIIy indignant if they dis
covered otter few years that their expensive pre-
wor-type equipment had become SO much junk.
Pioneer manufacturers and broodcosters have
invested some $40 600 in teIevison; the public
investment is around 81 ,OOOO OOO The longer pres
emit teIevison standards remain the bigger that in
vestment will become and the more reluctant man.
ufocturers and broodcosters will be to nougurote
improvement.
1t would seem sensible to scrap that investment
now rather than wait decade until it has grown
into billions, as it undoubtedly will.
