, Some months ago, Corporal Robir Black, Q paratrooper stationed tI1 India, wrote a three-page letter de- Scribing his experiences to his uncle, Ernest Adler, 8 character actor. Adler, working at MGM at the time, read the letter aloud on the set. Producer Joe Faster nak heard 1t and bubbled over with enthusiasm. "Your nephew Is a great writer; he has geniusl" he declared. Last week, solely on the strength of his letter to Adler, Black signed a big money contract with MGM, as a scenario writer!
 There a chuckle in a bit of high finance connected with the goth Century-Fox picture, Smoky. The company filming that horsey epic worked for two months near Kanab, Utah. During their stay, Fred Mac Murray, threatened by pneumonia was hospitalized for several days, and production had to be halted. Because the company had taken no insurance on MacMurray, the set- back cost the studio several thou sand dollars. After returning to Hollywood for interior scenes, the Smoky" troupe encountered an- other delay. This time 1t was the horse around which the story is built that was rendered hors de combat (no pun intended) by a heavy cold. But the nag was so heav- fly insured that goth recouped much of the money lost through MacMur- rays illness.
 BIng Crosby reports that his 'eld- est spring-off, much given to play ing hockey from school, is now Q model child. Bing, 1t seems, laid aside the hairbrush and resorted to psychology. He marched his son, after the latter's most recent of- fense, into the local F. B. I. office, where the boy was greeted with an impressive display of tommy guns, revolvers and other lethal weapons. One of the F. B. I. agents Ca good pal of Bing's) gave the truant grim lecture-and 1t worked like a charm.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 5.-Ask a score of Hollywood actresses, select- ed at random, what they want most from Dame Fate, and they're req sonably sure to give an unanimous anSwer-"lneaty character roles, like those played by Bette Davis." When they give that answer, they're think ing, not about the few senai-glan- orous parts Miss Davis has played, but about the drab hellcats she's portrayed in such films as "Of Hu- man Bondage.
 But the girls, nine times out of ten, are talking through their ultra expensive hats. It's @ very excep- tional beauty who can stomach un- glamorouS roles for any length of time, no matter how much profess sional prestige may be had by do- ing so.
 Consider, for instance, Dorothy Mcclure who, by playing four great acting parts that were completely lacking in glamour, seemed on the way to being @ second Bette Davis. Was she satisfied by the critics raves? Not at all Last month her natural feminine pride got the best of her, and she ultimatumed studio bosses. Either they could find @ role in which she could be charm ing and beautiful, or else.
 Or, for good clean fun, consider Martha Raye-a professional com ed!enne whose stock in trade is an oversized, homely mouth. Miss Kaye couldn't hope for romantic leads but she did the next best thing; she seized upon every pos- sible opportunity to display two of Hollywood's most beautiful legs. Yes, feminine pride seems to be an irresistible force.
 MEMORIES THAT BLESS AND BURN: When Clark Gable appealed to MGM's front office for protection from an elderly fan magazine scribe who publicly proclaimed that Gable was her soul mate-and tn- isted on acting accordingly =. When Le Tracy, docking his yacht while an adm!ring crowd watched, jumped lightly from the deck to the dock, lost his balance, skidded on his derriere and pumped into the briny .... When RKO pinned on starlet Anne Jeffreys the nick name "The Body" (now being capi- talized by Marie MacDonald) and then discarded 1t because Anne Jeffreys the nickname The Body" (now being capitalized by Marie MacDonald) and then discarded 1t because Anne's mother threatened to sue them for jeopardizing her daughters career by "distasteful" publicity When 12-year old Mickey Rooney became SO obstreper- ous during the filming of 8 comedy laid in 6 small town jail that the director locked him in one of the cells and released him only when he was needed.
 Here's an amazing success story.

more aides. The wounded must be
made comfortable. They are tired
after the long plane ride. Many
Of them are helpless. Army doc

she can travel regularly to and

Of the city will be welcomed.

Bill Stern, sports broadcaster who
lost leg in an automobile accident
10 years ago, believes loss of limb
can be a big asset" That's what
he told several hundred Walter Reed
Hospital patients Saturday night at
the official opening of a two-story
gymnasium on the hospital grounds.
1T helped me as sure as any,
thing, and it can help you guys"
he said. People remember you bet
ter. You can prove it any time you
want to.
IF group of guys are introduced
to some one, and one of those fell
lows walks with limp, he's the one
whose name is remembered. You'll
find out later that what I'm telling
you is the truth"
The sports broadcaster spoke as
part of program which included
fox trot, rumba and jitterbug dane
ing by amputees, and acrobatic num-
bers by Walter Reed physical re-
conditioning instructors. Brig. Gen.
Shelley U. Marietta, hospital COM

For Discharges

Until RedepIoyment

By MIRIAM GUTENBERG

The War Department has started

to determine how many can be re.

against length of combat service
and parenthood, it was learned to.
day.
Indications are, however, that few
officers will be released until 'aftel
the War Departments redeployment
program Is completed.
The survey will determine how
many officers can de declared sur.
plus, how many can be replaced ir
their present assignments and wha
essential military jobs must be
covered.
The point system, which is en-
abling more than 100000 enlisted
men to leave the Army, will be usec
for officers only in this kind of case
II two officers have the same quail
flcations, and only one Is needed

go to the man with the higher poin
score.
Explain Discharge Factors.
A War Department spokesman
said that while the point system Of
flcially does not affect officers, the
same considerations that determine
which enlisted men can be released
length of services, combat service
and parenthood-will be factors in
releasing officers.
The War Department admitted
that the survey of officers was un-
der way after captains wife told
The Star her husband had been in
formed that 1873 points were needed
for discharging an of1icer. The War
Department denied that any score
had been set.
A War Department spokesman
cited the case of one officer with 165
points who had just been assigned
here after long service overseas
Since he is considered essential on
his new assignment, his chances OF
discharge are remote despite his
high score, it was said.

ment is complete and the Army
knows how many of these jobs mus
be filled, few officers can be re.
leased.
The Army survey, however, is the
first step toward giving officers tht
same consideration for discharge a.
the enlisted men. Before an in.
dividual officer can be discharged
the War Department pointed out
his qualification must be circulated
to all branches of the service to de.
termine If he can be used elsewhere
Meanwhile, the War Department
is continuing its policy of sending
overseas as replacements any phys.
ically fit officers who have never hae
combat service. BY the time some ol
the officers they are replacing gel
home, it was indicated unof1cially
the policy of discharging officers
may be in effect.

War Worker HELPS
Police Rescue Bows
From Rock in Potomac

Two boys were rescued during
the night from a rock in the Poto.
mac River where they had beer
marooned four hours by the incom.
ing tide.
The boys, who had been fishing
from the rock above Chain Bridge
were Robert Bell. IL, of 609 Sixth
street S.W., and Albert Dent, IA, Of
8o1 G street S.W., police said.
An unidentified man heard their
calls for help about 10:30 pm. Har-
Dor police were notified, but an un-
usually swift current kept the po-
lice boat away from the rock
Meanwhile, Policemen Andy Schei-
BILE and Pat Smith of the 7th pre-
cinct arrived on the scene.
Bernard o. Browne, 38, an en-
ploye of the Alexandria Torpedo
Plant, who was in the vicinity, sug-
gested that he swim out to rescue
the boys. The policemen tied one
end of 75-foot rope to Mr. Brown
and held the other end as the war
worker swan to the rock. Mr.
Browne then tied the rope around
one of the boys, who was hauled
to safety. The rope then was tossed
back to Mr.. Browne and the second
boy was rescued. Mr.. Browne then
was hauled to shore.
The boys told police the water was
only 6 inches deep when they went
to the rock, but at 10:30, when they
first called for help, it had become
too deep for them to make shore.
They were on the rock until about
am.
Not knowing when they would be
taken off, the boys said they threw
back into the river a large catch
of fish.
