 Hollywood Is chuckling about the current discomfiture of Gene Ray mond, who, to do him credit, is chuckling louder than anyone else When Jeanette Mcdonald booked airplane passage to England, Gene, knowing her tendency to suffer from nal de mer, gave her box of cap sules used in the Army Air Force to prevent air sickness. The other day, when she returned via clipper, to New York, he flew there to meet her. Jeanette, by using her remain ing capsules en route, arrived in the pink. Raymond, who'd bolted too many meals in the effort to clear the decks of work before leaving for New York, staggered off his plane with an acute case of air sickness.
 SPEAKING of chuckles, I like the story Barry Sullivan is telling about his conversation with a young G. l. who, while visiting the studio, an- nounced that he was going to try for a Hollywood job after getting his discharge. What kind of work do you want?" Barry asked. Are you planning to act, or do you want to get into production work?" The G.I. thought hard for moment, then grinned.

But Potter, not ing that the picture would be in production throughout August, post poned the ice palace scenes until the dog days, when California tenn peratures always soar their highest. And not until the thermometer topped the 100 degree mark, did he call on Joseph Gotten for the big scene in which Joe falls through the ice into four feet of frigid wa ter.

sissy habit or affectation or a mor- onic attempt to enact the non- chalance of the pretty girl or pretty boy in the pretty picture. They know that cigarette smoking dam ages wind, lowers physical and mental efficiency
 Let's leave all the hackneyed theories about "nicotin" out of con- Sideration here. It may be that one who chews or sucks on a cigarette or cigar stub for considerable time actually absorbs some nicotine, but am not aware of any scientific evidence that nicotine is even present in cigarette Of cigar smoke.
 Substances that are present in cigarette or cigar smoke, as chemi- cal analyses of the smoke show, particularly pyridine or pyridine derivatives, ammonia ges, furfural and carbon monoxide gas.
 It is my own belief that the car- bon monoxide in cigarette, cigar or pipe smoke is chiefly responsible for the i'll effects.
 The blood of healthy individuals living in large city-peLsons who do not smoke-was found to con- tain small amount of carbon monoxide presumably from con- stant breathing of air polluted by varbon monoxide from the eXhaustS of automobilesl-the hemoglobin of the blood was found l.5Go saturated with carbon monoxide The hemo- globin of the blood of smokers in the same environment was found to be from 3 to 4qo saturated with carbon monoxide (Hanson and Hastings, LAMA, 5Ll3l33).
 There isn't room to describe the insidious effects of mild carbon monoxide anoxia Ccrowding out of oxygen) here, but according to Rosenau's Preventive Medicine and Hygiene when the blood is lO% saturated the characteristic symp- toms are tightness across forehead, possibly slight headache and dila- ton of cutaneous blood vessels flushing of skin). If 10@o Satura- tlon for few seconds or a minute can produce such effects, it is not unreasonable to infer that or 49e saturation of the blood with carbon monoxide for hours every day will make sissy out of anybody, es- pecially if the smoker gets an early start, before he or she has attained adult development.

Lester Green, who is running for
commissioner of pu bllc safety,
leaves his publicity to his expert
enced publicity man, which is the
right thing to do-ordinarily.
l hope the readers of this will
remember the trick that was
pulled five years ago, when Bob
O'Neill became commissioner of
public utilities. The Western Vik-
ing, only Norwegian newspaper
published in Tacoma, used to carry
city advertising like the rest OF
the papers, but when O'Neil got
into office those ads stopped, be-
cause his policy was not to adver-
I tise in f or G n language news
papers. Even the other commits
sioners could not change his mind,
and Western Viking lost that in
come-an n m e equal to the
amount of the power bill of the
said paper.
Western Viking disappeared as
far as being a Tacoma publica-
ton. but the Scandinavian readers
and voters did not die. At the next
election Bob O'Neil suffered the
greatest defeat of any candidate
running for reelection in Tacoma,
as far as l have been informed.
Why? Mostly because he did an
Injustice to the Scandinavian peo-
pie, ard they did not forget it.
What has all this to do with
Mr.. Green running for the job of
commissioner of pu b Ii C safety
YOU ask. Here is the answer BOD
O'Neil had publicity man, too,
and he had advisers. If his pub
ncity man had advised him to adj
vertise in the Norwegian weekly
a. paper published as long as
Washington has been a state-he
would not have had that to answer
for on his next try Cor the office,
and his defeat could have been less
great.

Fechet Receives Medal
For Distinguished Service

Gen. Carl Spaatz, chief of the
Army Air Forces, today presented
the Distinguished Service Medal to
79-year-old Maj. Gen. E. Fechet,
retired. one of Americas greatest
airmen, who went back into service
during the war.
A former chief of the old Air
Corps, Gen. Fechet served as a
staff officer at AAF Headquarters
from March, 1912. to April, 1945.
In that capacity he was president
of the Procurement Board, Pilot AL
location Board, Promotion Board,
Decorations and Naming Board. He
was 74 when he returned to active
duty.
Gen. Fechet became chief of the
Air Corps on December IA, 1927,
and retired on December 81, 1881,
after more than 80 years of service.
The War Department was anxious
to regain his services after the out
break Of World War H.. for few
in the Army had a better knowledge
of the needs of the new air arm.
He began his career on April 18,
1898, enlisting as a private in the
9Th Cavalry. He was commissioned
in 1900. After seeing action in the
Philippine Insurrection and against
Pancho Villa on the Mexican bor-
der, he entered the Signal Corps
Air Service in September, 1917.
After commanding Kelly Field, Tex,
he was transferred to Washington
as assistant chief of the Air Corps
and promoted later to chief.

Preliminary Count
Shows 916 Enrolled
In School Cadet CORPS

Preliminary count of the Wash
ington High School Cadet Corps
drilling for the first time this week
was announced today as 916, a drop
below the comparable enrolment
last year.
1t. Col. william e. Barkman, mill
tary science supervisor In the white
schools, said the figure released was
far from complete and is based on
data usually obtained later in the
school year. Last year when count
was made about 10 days after the
start of drilling there were ap-
proximately 1900 cadets in the
white high schools.
Cadets in colored high schools
were previously announced as 900,
also sharp decline from last years
figure.
Counts were not obtainable today
on the strength of the girl cadet
units.
1.-The higher cost of the uniforms
may have something to do with the
reduction in force SO far noted, .
aid Col. Barkman. "TraditionaIly
every boy eligible for the corps IL
expected to report but in fact the
turnout is voluntary since the regu-
lations permit the student to be
excused either on the ground of
physical incapacity or the request
of parents.
"It is far too early to make a
forecast on how many cadets we will
have. BY Thursday of next week
we should have a better estimate.

of the boys attending the schools. .

Gridderss Apologize Ends Incident
Of Smeurinq of RivuI School

That left only the question closest
to the hearts Of the miscreants:
Would they be permitted to stay
on the football team?"
The Rockville school oficials sug-
gested they thought the decision
should be made by the Bethesda
Chevy Chase students.
The Bethesda Chevy Chase STU
dent Council, some 50 strong, was
called into assembly last Wednes-
day. The four boys with their prin-
cipal marched in, told their story,
admitted their guilt and made apol-
ogies.
The Student Council was called
on to vote on whether they would
remain on the Rockville team. They
voted "yes" overwhelmingly.
DR.. Edwin w. Broome, superin-
tendent of county schools, said the
incident is illustrative of the high
level Of interschool relationship in
the county.
'It shows that we may expect the
development Of high order Of citi-
zenship In our students" he said.
Eben M. Peek, Richard Montgom-
cry principal. said he is entirely
pleased" at the outcome.
The boys confessed voluntarily" !"
he explained. "It took lot Of cour-
age not only to do that, but to make
public apology to the students of
Bethesda Chevy Chase. They are
to be commended"
He added that he is not investi-
eating the painting, evidently in re-
prisal, Of some Of the doors Of his
school. As far as he is concerned
the entire incident is closed"

What steps the police took are
unknown but early this week four
members of the Rockville football
