Mrs. Roosevelt On
Communism

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has been severely
criticized for her attitude toward communists
il. the United States And it would seem that
some of the criticism has been justified.
Her utterances on numerous occasion, vocal
ly and through her column My Day. have
show. tolerance for if not actual sympathy
with fellow travellers. If she has not encourag-
their appointment to posts of responsibility
and trust in the government, she has at least
tacitly condoned it by failing to voice any
objection.
Mrs Roosevelt has either undergone change
of heat or in the belief that she has been
misunderstood, she defines her present posi-
ton in {. recent My Day" column, in which
she says certain actions of American com
munists have added to the general fear Of
communism as an international force"
Adding that the American Communist party
it. she says, 1T frightens us to see any group
in our midst proposing to propaganda instead
of cooperating where possible and letting the
people think and act for themselves. This might
lead to war at home and abroad. Therefore
the French communist leader and the Ameri-
can communists who encourage policy OF
world revolution have done the peace of the
wolld HARM
If Mrs. Roosevelt was misunderstood and Of
fers this explanation to set herself right, it
can only be said that it could have been offered
long time ago to good advantage to herself
and the administration she shared with her
distinguished husband. If it represents an about
face she is to be commended for indirectly
acknowledging her mistake and courageousy
declaring her new attitude

Won Ribbentrop Taken

Joachim Won Ribbentrop, Hitler's foreign
minister the man who did the frehrer's dip
lomatic dirty work. including the non-aggres-
sion treaty with Russia which opened the way
for the German conquests in Europe, was cap
tured while asleep in a Hamburg boarding
house.
His capture is not SO surprising as that he
should have been betrayed by German wine
merchant whose acquaintanceship with him
had extended over twenty-five years, and
who probably bought champaign from him
when he was peddler of the bubbling bever
age. Dispatches telling of his capture empha
size that he had no friend in Hamburg and
found a refuge in a strange home only by
using a false name.
He offers the explanation for his flight that
he hoped to lie low until British antag onism
subsidized and then take his chance of beat
ing the rap in co:rt Notwithstanding this, he
had phial of poison and obviously would
have committed suicide except that he a
literally caught mapping.
With the double-de&Aing Nazi foreign minister
counted for, Hitler alone, of all the vicious
gaEgsters who tn. eW the world into war, re-
minis either at large or only questionably
identified in death.

The Army Engineers

TIE 10th anniversary of the Army Eng-

and throughout the country last night, marks
another milestone of distinguished and hon
orable service by body of brilliant men in
the U. S. Army. In the present war the Army
Engineers are everywhere, paving the way for
combat units to reach their detectives.
While their activities are often less spectacu-
lar than some combat units, they are no less
important. They fight and work, not to attain
certain positions, but to prepare the way for
thousands behind then waiting to reach the

LETTER BOX
A MEMORIAL COLLEGE
To the Edi2or:

10 &ne Lul.oI.
Concerning the founding of a
Junior college for Wilmington and
vicinity there has been quite a
lot of discussion both through the
press and the various city and
county agencies. Yet no concrete
plan has been WORKED out and pre-
scented to the public Likewise the
question OF a suitable memorial &
the heroes and heroines of the
present World wal is before the
people still in = nebulos form.
May | suggest thu, the people
and agencies back of both these
projects get together and work OF:

forum should be large enough to
hold great conventions of veter-
ans as well as ether large con
ventions of church civic organi-
cations and political parties. Peo-
pie from all over the state and
nation would be living boosters for
this college: and through this COL
1ege the memory OF those who
have sacraficed so much would
ever be fresh in the minds of the
coming great Generation Of cit
Zens.
The cost would be less and the

would be centered around an in

1t would be tactless (tact seems
to be the text of this column for
today to name one press agent as
the most successful of the lot these
days. 1t also probably would be
impossible, even if one were reck-
less enough to try.
There are several press agents,
however, who are doing a tremen-
dous job of calling attention to the
institutions, or clients, they repre-
sent. AS matter of fact, they
have established quite a precedent,
the end of which is not in sight and
might prove terrifying if it were.
The trick they employ is that of
selling the movies an idea of max
Evening star., 1945-10-11

ing q movie around the prornotional
subject they are dealing with 365
days a year.
Billy Rose, an agile fellow at such
things, was the first to get himself
treated by the movies as sort of
one-man "Oklahoma!" when 20th
Century-Fox studio made its recent
musical, Diamond Horseshoe" It's
locale was the institution which Mr..
Rose has created for the diversion
of New Workers and visitors thereto.
Mr.. Rose, you might think, would
be so happy to have his project men,
toned to an audience of 10000, 900
movie-goers that he would give the
right to. use it for free to a produc-
ing studio.
The reports are that he got $70,-
600 story rights fees In addition to-
all the publicity.
An even more prominent way sta
tion in the night life of Americans,
the Stork Club of Sherman Billings
ley, has been similarly utilized as
the background for a motion pic
ture. "The Stork Club" is its title,
which seems entirely logical, and
1t is in the nature OF the institu-
ton and its glamorous population
that Paramount finds occasion toI
use quite a number of its stars.
They virtually live at the Stork
Club, Of course, as any one knows
who reads the pictorial magazines.
Mr.. Billingsley, like Mr.. Rose. is
not man to surrender to the mere
argument that movie, even a sort
of all-star one, represents so much
publicity he should be pleased
enough to donate his place as back
ground for no fee. He is said to
have been paid $1,000 for the priv
ilege.
That it is not impossible to get
a movie script ION the house" is
demonstrated, however, by another
current picture dealing with we'll
known New York institution.
The picture in question is Week
End at the Waldorf" which deals
with hotel big enough to accom-
modate veritable slew of Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer's most glamorous
players, Ginger Rodgers, Walter
Pidgeon, Lana Turner, Van john
son and others.
The right to use the Waldorf for
purposes of the picture was strictly
on the house, so to speak.
Lucius Boomer, the head man of
the place, decided the publicity value
of the picture was too high to JUS
tify him taking any money. OF
course, the place is crowded these
days, but it may be different in the
future and Mr.. Boomer may reap
the harvest of his generosity.
Perhaps Washington had better
start promoting some of its institu-
tions as movie subjects.
