HOLLYWOOD, July % - R -
Hollywood is becoming a shopping
center.
Latest casualty OF crowded Les
Angeles surge to the sea is the
famous, stately old Hollywood Ho-
tel. Its sale last week, to owners
who plan to build a $4,000 1000 de-
partment store on the site, is signl-
ficant OF what time has done to
this one-time capital of the stars.
It's an old saw out here that the
history of the Hollywood Hotel is
the history of Hollywood itself.
Hollywood began as a real estate
development. So did the hotel. 1t
was put up as community build
er," where the wealthy could stay
while making up their minds where
to build their suburban homes.
That was in 1902.
BY 1912 the silent-picture in
dustry had moved into the develop
ment. Actors, actresses, directors
and producers adopted the Holly
wood Hotel, primarily because it
was the only place large enough to
provide them with common
meeting place so far out from town.
For the next "a years the Holly
wood Hotel twice expanded, was
the heart of Hollywood There the
gayest parties were held. There, on
it's long front porch, gathered such
folk as Bill Farnum, Jim Corbett,
Viola Dana, Elinor Glyn, Bert It.
tell, Milton Stills, William Crane,
Rudolph Valentino, Carrie Jacobs
Bond, Jesse Lasky, Sam Goldwyn
and the late ALA Nazimov, to have
fun and talk shop.
Then, about 1926, Hollywood and
the movie no longer could be made
on a shoe string. They required
substantial investment, and the
people who made them moved out
of Hollywood into palatial homes.
The stars became used to working
under contract. They were tied
down for years. So they too built
homes.
The need for the Hollywood Hotel
disappeared. Of the 100 guest
rooms in the hotel, 60 of them to-
day are occupied by longtime resi-
dents, but none of them is a iumi-
nary in the Hollywood sky. The,
other 40 rooms are rented to tran
sient military personnel.
The hotel is little changed from
it's golden days. There isn't a
shower in the place, and only IS
baths.

German Preparations

Did the Roosevelt-Churchill-St confer
ence at Yalta settle PREPARATIONS terms for
Germany and keep their decision secret? The
New York Herald Tribune says they did and
goes into detail. 1t declares the amount the
trio fixed on was twenty billion dollars, to
be paid in five years; that Russia was to
get one-half, Britain and the United States
2 per cent each and the remaining 10 per
cent divided omong the lesser victims of Hit
lers war.
A London Foreign Office spokesman denies
''we' have any knowledge Of such an agree
ment and Washington State Department Of
ficals refuse comment.
1t may we'll be that the then Big Three
discussed German reparations. 1t would be
surprising if they failed to do So They all
certainly were justified in expecting that Ger
many should bear part Of the costs it had
put its enemies to by provoking and waging
war in Europe. And, in as much as repara-
tons could be definitely settled only at the
peace table it is understandable that they de-
cided not to make their demands known in
advance.
The question is whether they did we'll to
keep silent on sEch an important issue, or
whether they would not have done better to
let the peoples of the nations which had to
put up the money to defeat Germany in or
their decision and profit by public opinion?
Stain is reported to have said he could force
Germany to pay thirty billions, but Roosevelt
and Churchill voted for the smaller amount
There was plenty of time for them to revise
the figures, especially as no peace treaty wal
to be signed until after the war in the Pacific
was won.
1t could have done no harm, certainly, fo

Japan Fears Unfauorable Decisions
From Big Three Potsd am Conference

erful commercial daily in Japan
carries with it an indicated con-
clusion that Russia -American-Brit-
ism commitments already exist
to be supplemented with action by
Russia only after Germany's de-
feat. If that is true, and there
have been whispers in Washington
to that effect for months, it means
that Japan's time to take ad.
vantage of the spokesman" sur
render suggestion is growing
short. Hope that the Potsdam con-
ference can conclude it's work in
another week is reflected in press
advices from the scene.
Moscow dispatches have made
no mention at any time of the
Russo-Jap aspect of the Big Three
meeting which has figured so
prominently in American press
and radio reports. 1t has stressed
sharply, however, the apparent
cordially of Russian-Chinese con-
versations during Premier Soong' S
Moscow visit for meetings with
Generalissimo Stain on the eve
of the Potsdam sessions.
The latest word on those Chinese
Russian converse tons to come
from Moscow is to the effect that
they merely were interrupted by
the Potsdam conference and are
to be resumed at its conclusion.
That raises question as to wheth-
er if Russia and the Allies do
reach agreements at Potsdam for
mutual action against Japan, a
four power military get-together
in Moscow including China might
not come without delay to plan
simultaneous concerted operations
in all Asiatic war theaters.

VE-day, whatever argument was used to with
hold the information before, and by making
an announcement of the Yalta decision, the
Big Three undoubtedly would have risen in
public esteem through its frankness.
This, of course, is based on the supposi-
ton that the Herald Tribune is accurate in
it's revelation.
