PIE-THROWING ADVISER

Gertrude Astor, former star of the
silent screen, was serving as tech
nical adviser on throwing scenes
for a new RKO picture, a studio
publicity department release.
II could kill 'em for putting out
that story" she said. Friends have
been sending me pies"
Gertrude admitted she had thrown
and received a few pies in her
time-she was a comedy star at
Universal in 1916-but that she had
done a lot more important things on
the screen besides letting custard
drip from her face. Like starring
in the first film version of Under
Two Flags" for instance.
Besides, Gertrude said she couldn't
imagine any of Hollywood's current
glamor ladies taking a pie in the
face the way they did it in the
good old days. They really threw
'em then" she said. Nov they
just push 'em in your face"
"A western or a serial was no
good" she said, unless somebody
got hurt. No one used doubles"
Gertrude herself suffered bro

busted finger before I got smart
and insisted on a double"
She was wearing a flyers wings.

Red Cross Negotiates
Release Of HOSTAGES
By ELIAS in Greece

BY the Associated PresS.
ATHENS, Jan. 20.-Clarification
Of the British attitude and reports
of release Of a high proportion of
hostages held by the ELIAS TODAY
frightened the political aspect of
Greece's troubled truce.
An International Red Cross dele
gate from Switzerland, returning to
Athens tonight after 10 days in
ELIAS territory, said ELIAS Central
Committee members had authorized
the chief OF the International Red
Cross Committee Mission here to
take possession of all hostages ex-
cept those which ELIAS considered
responsible for bringing about the
crisis among the Greeks.
The ELIAS retained the right to
hold prisoners who had been de-
tanned in the Averoff Prison, most of
them for political reasons, COM
munique issued by the Red Cross
said. The ELIAS captured more
than 100 prisoners from Averoff, in
Guiding many suspected of collabo-
rating with the Nazis during the
Occupation of Greece.
The Red Cross delegate also
brought back letters from the ELIAS
addressed to Archbishop DANA
skinos, Greek regent, and to repre-
sentatives of the great powers"
probably the Soviet Union, the
United States and France, as we'll as
Britain. The longest of these mes
sages, it was reported, was addressed
to the British House of Commons.
1t. Gen. Harold M. Scobie, British
commander, had authorized the
chief of the Red Cross mission to
treat with the ELIAS for an ex-
change Of prisoners. The ELIAS
chieftains also signed the Geneva
Convention, it was reported here.
Greek police detained approx
mately 10000 persons in the Athens
area, it was disclosed by Greek
Supreme Court Member Kiousso-
poulos, who is charged with the
interrogation of the prisoners.
Already the United Nations relief
setup in Athens has handled more

tages, who fall outside the terms of
the truce which was intended to
end the strife weeks ago. The truce
was written to be fully effective

After that, informed British
sources here said, Archbishop Da-
maskinos will call a conference at
which John Sofianopoulos, minister
of foreign affairs and of informa-
ton, will hear the governments side
of the Greek troubles. They said
Premier Nicholas Plastiras would
remain largely in the background
because both sides regarded the for
eign minister as more moderate and
conciliatory.

to the east, the Russians had driven
8 miles into German territory along
the road from Mlawa, Polish fort

But there was no comparison be-
tween this Red Army drive and that
of three decades ago. The Germans
were broken at many points along
the vast front between the Baltic
