Home Towners Make Good

because her mother and father had
gone there.
Nancy Guild, whose name, incl
dentally, rhymes with riled, was at
tending Immaculate Heart High
School when . talent scout spotted
her, books under her arm. She's the

prettier Lauren Bacall. She's been
compared to Hepburn in her 1.-THE
smartness. Her straight blond hair
is the color Of new-mown hay. She
has fresh face, tip-tilted nose with
tiny freckles running across 1t, q
captivating mouth with great mo-
bility. Her family turned down the
first studio approaches. But while
she was attending the University Of
Arizona she made q photo sitting
for picture magazine, wearing
GI cap. It made the cover, created
a sensation. The scout landed on
the campus within II hours after
the picture was made public, with
the sort Of offer even Nancy Guild
couldn't resist.
Few OF these girls paid much at
tention to outside theatricals of
the amateur type. Neither Lana
Turner nor Barbara Whiting even
went in for school dramatics. When
Barbara Writings teacher asked
her to take part in . class play, her
baby lips framed the classic reply !:
when I act I'll get paid for it
and paid plenty!" She said a
mouthful, as events proved. Her
seven-year contract hits $500 a
week when it reaches full tempo.
It will provide this phenomenal
junior miss with a very tidy allow
ance for spending money-even to
her highly colored way Of think

Joel McCrea Is perhaps the
pioneer among the Hollywood-born
and discovered actors and for a
long time he held that distinction
without dispute. Dana Andrews

eral years, earning q living as q
gas station attendant before Sam
uel Goldwyn talent hunter grabbed
him. Donna Reed, Laraine Day
Van johnson and Betty Cradle
while not local-born, were around
town for years before scouts gave
them any attention.
Richard Jaeckel's discovery was
not unusual. Dick had a job in a
studio mailing room and his associ-
ates were all for him to crash the
camera gates. Every time mes
senger would deliver a letter to a
producer or director they would ask

Perry Como is easily the most at
tractive male singer on the screen
today. I'll even say he's more at
tractive than most of the leading
men. He has that Latin charm
which is enhanced by a certain
modest demeanor and simple friend
illness. There's no pretention to be-
ing a sophisticate, no big shot stuff
about Como.
Como's charm comes right out at
you; his quick warm smile, echoed
in his large dark eyes, discloses per-
feet teeth in well-shaped mouth.
There's an attractive cleft in his
chin. His features have an even cut
to them, with well-shaped brows.
He's husky, too, unlike his old pal
and fellow singer, Frank Sinatra,

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Before the war 1t was q sort OF
tradition In the capital OF movie-
dom that the hometown boys and
girls held no possibilities as screen
material. Scouts roamed the far
reaches Of this country for their
future big names. They even
secured Europe and South America
on regular trips. They travelled
thousands of miles to SPOT lovely
faces, never giving much thought
to the fact that right on the screens
own doorstep were promising candi-
dates by the score.
Then came war. The already
sparse list of leading men dwindled
to include only q few decrepit gents
of 80 and over. The scouts were
stymied. Travel was discouraged
so they were forced to concentrate
on Los Angeles and its immediate
environs.
The results? Well, when you start
checking, the consequences are
nothing short of amazing. Not only
have the little red schoolhouses
around this town turned up many
starry bets since the scouts stayed
home, but the output has been
pretty steady over long period Of
years.

Charge Trade Pacts
Injure Agriculture
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Reciprocal trade agreements have
benefited other industries at the ex-
pense of the farmers, the House
Ways and Means Committee was
told today by H. K. Thatcher Of
Arkansas, spokesman for the Ma
tional Association Of State Commits
sioners OF Agriculture.
Speaking in behalf of the COM
missioners of agriculture, it is my
opinion that from the past records
of the reciprocal trade agreements,
agriculture, our basic industry, has
been most adversely affected by
competitive imports, and other in
dustries have received the benefits,
Mr.. Thatcher testified. This is
evidenced by the fact that we have
had a net import balance of farm
products and a net export balance of
manufactured articles"
AS the committee entered the
third week of hearings, indications
were that 1t would 60 on to a con-
clusion, with the controversial trade
agreements extension bill despite
the Republican move yesterday to

dent in the list of more than 100
witnesses remaining to be heard on
the trade agreements, with the pres
ent law expiring June IL.

Page Airways of Rochester, N. Y,

crashed at National Airport Friday
with the loss of five lives, today lost
its gasoline allotment Of $4,000 gall

The allotment was made by the

At the time of the crash, the plane
was carrying vacationists returning

He told Commons he could not

prisoners could not return without

How Committees Voted.
Before the full conference acted,
the Executive Committee of IA had
voted unanimously on the two Sow
let republics and divided 9 to 3 on
admitting Argentina. The later
Steering Committee vote to invite
Argentina was % to S.
Mr.. Molotov also lost a proposal
to have the International Trade
Union Congress represented at the
conference by an observer. He told
a news conference that when op-
position appeared to this proposal
in a Steering Committee meeting he
decided not to press the point. The
CIO is represented in the interna-
tional labor group, while the AFL
is not.
Australian Foreign Minister Her
bert Evatt issued statement last
night declaring Australia had ac-
cepted Argentina into the confer
ence with reluctance and anxiety
because of her most unsatisfactory
war record and because Fascist
forces had been in control of the
country.
He said his nation joined Britain
and the other dominions except
New Zealand in voting for Argen-
tina because two great powers and
a number of others appeared to de-
sire admission.
Peter Fraser, New Zealand prime
minister, who voted for delay in in
viting Argentina at both the COM
mittee and plenary sessions, said
he did SO In part because admission
of this state raised the question of
what to do about other states such
as Spain and Fire, which still hold
the neutral status recently aban-
doned by Argentina.

'Mr Roosevelt said, I have been

concern the developments of the
Argentine situation in recent

Mr. Molotov had cited the Roose-

tina in outlining his case at a press
conference earlier. when he said:
Iaconsider these statements to be
very authoritative. I am not going
to add to these statements any
statements made by the Soviet
Union"
Mr.. Molotov said some of the
American republics felt that "the
situation has changed for the bet
ter in Argentina" But he added
that the question is when to invite
Argentina and when not to invite
another country, Poland

that in this war Poland was one of

He insisted that to invite Argen-

affect the prestige of the conference
He declared that the provisional
government of Poland was demo-
cratic, and said that its reconstruc-

agreement would be settled 'in as

this was not an issue now before

He said that there are delegations
