after he went to Puerto Rico as
special adviser to Secretary Ickes,
he continued his academic connec-
ton by accepting the post as chan
cellor OF the University of Puerto
Rico, a job from which he resigned
few months later when he was
appointed Governor there.
1t has been widely rumored in
Washington for more than q year
that Tugwell wanted to resign. Six
months ago he made that desire
known to the President, who per-
suaded him to stay in office until
July /. His work at the University
of Chicago will begin in September.
One of the handsomest of the New
Deal brain trusters, Tugwell still
looks like Hollywood material. His
wavy hair is graying but his nicely
chiseled features and brooding eyes
still enhance his attractiveness.
During his years in Washington.
the debonair adviser who became
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
was one of the most controversial
figures of the era. His enemies lab
eled him q Red; his friends fumed
because he was too honest to keep
his liberal views to himself" What
ever he was. or is, he is an excep-
tionally good conversationalist; a
superb dinner partner; a gourmet
who is also an expert in making
rare salads: and a firm believer in
the saying, Force never solves any
thing"

If you think resort hotel prices
are soaring out of bounds In this

they compare with those on the

who manages the famous Carlton
Hotel at Cannes She and her hus-
band and their daughter, Mimi,
we're planning week end on the
Riviera They wanted merely small
bedroom with cot rolled in for
Mimi. Could he accommodate them;
and II so. what would the price be?
Came a quick reply Because the
MacArthurs were old friends and
had stayed at the Carlton so often
in years past a room would be re-
served for them at once. Price
s65 a day! The MacArthurs didn' t
go.

The 20 per cent tax on jewelry furs, toilet preparations and luggage has not been reduced or repealed by the new revenue act, it is an- nounced by Internal Revenue Col lector Clark Squire at Tacoma, ac- cording to advices received by The Empire.

 The declared value capital stock tax is also repealed as of July l l946, but the present rates of stamp tax on issue or transfer of corpor- ate stocks and bonds have not been changed.

LAMOUR BACK IN
 SOUTH SEA FILM
 AT 10TH CENTURY

The public still dictates to Holly wood, apparently, for Dorothy La mour is back in the South Seas in her newest sarong in Paramount's s Century Theatre, Rainbow Island which critics hail as the most lush and lovely of any of the sarong- tress' tropical escapades.
 Opening Saturday at the 20th Century Theatre, Rainbow Island we are told is palmy, balmy chunk of entertainment, filled with color, music and sarongals. Co-starring with Miss Lamour are Eddie Bracken |and Gil Lamb, who, as ship wrecked merchant seamen in the South Pac- fife come upon this island paradise with another member of their tor pedoed ship, Barry Sullivan.
 Orders are immediately given by the Queen of the island for native dance fete with plenty of food, mu- sic and gaiety as the proper back ground for beheading the three stranded Americans. Fighting mad Bracken turns on his ugliest scowl and behold! he is the image of the native god, Mono, before whom all fall to the ground in worship.
 From that point on, we are told the charm and excitement of the island are explored by Mono and his bodyguard with the help of beau tiful and sympathetic native girls All goes well except that Bracker gets hungrier and hungrier, since native gods do not require food, and if he is caught eating like an ordi- nary human, all three of them will return to the chopping block
 Including among other things, one of the longest and funniest jungle races ever filmed, a swimming bal let of bride.- to-be Lamour with her jungle ladies-in- waiting, a boogie- woogie routine with Gil Lamb and a chorus of sultry charmers and songs that you'll never forget.
