HOLLYWOOD. s
Personality of the Week-Maureer
OHara: She wants to play wicked
woman. But Maureen happens to
look noble and she Is always cast
as a nice girl. usually with a dash
OF breeding thrown in for better
measure. She is now playing her
fourth technicolor and her ump-
teenth period piece in THE Spanish
Main. I find her in her RKO
dressing room caressing a big basket
OF fruits and candies sent by Boss
Charles Koerner, who thinks that
his leading ladies would rather have
something to eat than something to
smell = lie. flowers If / were in
that category, he's right. But Maui
reen must now watch that pretty
figure of hers.
1T was wonderful while I was
having the baby" she tells me. re-
gretfully pushing away a bottle OF
peaches dipped in brandy. ! ate
everything I'd ever thought or
dreamed of. I gained about SO
pounds. I'd even get up in the mid
die of the night and eat" Maureen
is now back to normality and weighs
$50 pounds, which is all right for
her feet 7Ia inches.
Spanish Main" is her first pic
ture IN l8 months and she has-to
quote colleague of mine-never
looked lovelier. Maureen was sup
posed to have starred in It'll We
Meet Again" with Ray Milland. but
discovered she was to have a child
and backed out OF the film the day
before it was due to start. Which
proves she is sensible as well as
beautiful, because lost a baby once
through working, and I wasn't TAX
Ing any risks this time" If you
could see the photographs of Baby
Bronwyn Bridget, you'd say Alta
grill"
To go back to Maureen's desire to
play meanie. "I1l play murder
ess If it's good part" she states.
The awful thing about Hollywood
is that you've got to play devil
or a witch to be considered a good
actress Maureen wants to play

with R-K-O, are said to be shaping
it for Gene Tierney. She would
also like to play "Cluny Brown, .
but David Selznick, who owns
Jennifer Jones, wants the part for
his property. Dorothy Mcclure
wants to play Cluny as well, but, as
Maureen says, IF Selznick wants
it for Jennifer, Jennifer will get it"
Maureen would also like to play
the lead in Leave Her to Heaven, .
and think she will get this. On
one thing the Irish lass is set-she
will not work in any picture after
six in the evening" start at
seven in the morning and it's a full
days work until six I leave the
studio then and go home to be with

LONDON, March 8-Karl Gustav Hulten, 22 American paratrooper, died on the Pentonville Prison gall lows today, while middle-aged woman, Mrs. Elsie Van Der Fist, protesting his execution for the hold-up staying of a London cab driver, was trying to crash the courtyard gates in garbage truck.
 The crowd had to jump fast to avoid injury as the unexpected in- cident occurred outside the prison. The woman, long a vigorous op- ponent of capital punishment, re- peatedly cried, you let the girl off but hang the man. It's a damned shame!" She referred to the reprieve granted Hulten's CO., defendant, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones. IS, British strip-tease dancer.
 ]. Home Secretary Herbert Morri- son recommended to the King that her sentence be. commuted to life imprisonment. Hulten's home was in Cambridge, Mass.

The Japanese High Command is awaiting the American invasion of Nippon with the greatest con- fidence," Domei reports.
 The report quoted the Tokyo newspaper Asahi as saying the High Command has completed plans for the defense of the homeland for dealing the enemy literally anni- hilative blow, thereby securing de- cisive victory in one stroke"
 The broadcast, heard by the Fed eral Communications Commission said the Japanese naval force ''is being kept in full readiness tostrike the first decisive blow" before in- vasion forces can land. If some enemy forces should escape they will meet smashing attack from beach lines"

Juneau, under the new H-2 hous- ing program, according to George w. Coplen, Regional Representative of the National Housing Agency in Seattle. This program has been provided to relieve congestion in the Juneau community, due to war activity, which is at present caus- ing hardship for those families that are unable to secure adequate liv- ing accommodations.
 Under this program builders may construct larger and better quality houses than has been possible under past war housing standards with top sales prices of $8.000 and shelter rent ceilings of $65. This program is necessarily limited by the availability of materials and manpower. Anyone may occupy the houses built under this program.
 The new ceiling prices under this H-2 program, together with the liberalization of WIPE building standards, will enable construction of better quality houses in higher price ranges It will also make pos sible erection of three-bedroom houses which could not be built under previous price ceilings in most areas.
 Such housing is expected to meet the minimum construction stan- dards of the Federal Housing Ad- ministration for insured mortgage loans under Title II of the Ma tional Housing Act. Houses built under this program may be fin anced with or without mortgage insurance by the Federal Housing Administration. Applications for priorities to secure materials to build these houses should be filed with Folger Johnson, State Di- rector of the Federal Housing Administration, Portland, Oregon. Priorities are issued by FILA acting under a delegation of authority from the War Production Board. Priority application forms can usually be secured from leading institutions or from local building material firms.

LONDON, March 8-German rail and oil targets were struck another blow as 1850 American bombers, following up the RATS 1,25o-plane night assault, attacked seven oil plants and five switching plants handling traffic to the Ruhr battle fields.
 The most sustained air campaign of the war was carried through its twenty-fourth consecutive day. The British night attack was carried out by the largest force sent out by the RAF this year. The British planes blasted the Nazis Eastern Front base of Dessau and struck vital oil refineries and gave Berlin the sixteenth successive night raid.
