An intimate colleague of the late

submit clipping from his column
of 1893 which proves a lot of things.
Mauy knew Reggie Vanderbilt and
Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt intimate

financial end of things where Reg

irony of Fate that little Gloria came
into all this money. In the ordin-
airy course of events, wife in

Reggie was madly in love with his
wife, andfwould have left her every

his friend Maury to come to din

is gospel-a true story-and you can
use it without fear of contradic-

why little Gloria's act is so cruel
is that her mother is suffering from

Sy-turvy, unpredictable place.
 In l943, after IT years of uninter- rupted Stardom, her career seemed to be dying of slow starvation. She hadn't had really outstanding pie ture for several years. Independent theater owners, conducting a poll on the drawing power of screen stars, branded her "box-office poi son" Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer bosses had no confidence in her future and left her on the side-lines when plum roles were to be passed out.
 Miss Crawford, convinced that it would take perfect role to bring her back, held out for nearly two years before agreeing to an assign ment from Warner Brothers. The picture was Mildred Pierce"-and it vindicated her judgment by bring ing her an Academy Oscar.
 Today, as one of the industry's three or four most sought-after stars, the woman who was judged through" only four years ago, is on top of the Hollywood heap. Her new contract with Warner Brothers just signed, not only gives her fabulous salary and the right to pass on her stories, directors and casts; it also Stipulates that she can specify the release dates of her pictures, and that she must not be forced to work in the vacation months of June, July, August and September. War ner Brothers Studio is in the San Fernando Valley, and she finds the summer heat there oppressive.
 In Hollywood, it isn't safe to count anyone out.

 Everyone is buying frozen foods these days and it's fast becom- ing one of our biggest industries. It's nothing new, though it started when a farmer in Cali fornia forgot to light his smudge- pots.
 There's great future in frozen foods and experts see it as po- tentially greater than even our automotive industry. But I don't agree with that can you imagine anyone passing up a 46 car for box of broccoli?
 I understand the business is now being run by few experts and some Eskimos, so you guys who are looking for business with a future, hop to it. There's only one drawback every time you go in to ask the boss for a raise you're bound to get cold feet.
 To help the growth of new in- dustry, Cornell University is giv- ing away scholarships for study in the frozen foods field a sort of six-course education.
 All can say is that bought deep-freeze myself recently and ind 1t very convenient. I don't nave to kiss the iceman anymore, and my jokes keep for weeks. won't say that thing is cold, but it's the first time I ever saw pigs knuckles rubbing themselves to- gether to keep warm!

Fall Over Cliff
BY the Associoted Press

PORT WASHINGTON, N. Y.
Sept. 30-Oscar Gloeckler, 27, OF
New York, twice wounded veteran
Iof the Pacific war, amazed police
and the staff of the Nassau Hospital
by surviving after his station wagon
crashed over 300-foot cliff into a
boulder-strewn sand pit early yes
terday.
Reconstructing the crash, police
said the station wagon went be-
tween two guard rail posts on the
highway over Beacon Hill, one of
the highest points on Long Island,
and bounced from boulder to boul-
der, causing avalanches of sand
down the face of the cliff.
The station wagon was demol-
ished.
After the crash, police said, Mr.
Gloeckler performed what they con-
sidered the nearly impossible feat OF
climbing back up the cliff in the
dark. He was found lying beside
the road by motorist. At the hos
pital, his injuries were described as

Many Small Hospitals
BY the Assoeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3o-The
Commission on Hospital Care, a
public service committee, proposed
today the expenditure of 81 800 O00,-
900 for increased hospital bed facili-
ties and elimination-in some cases
up to 40 per cent-of many present
small hospitals and convalescent and
nursing homes.
The commission, in a report to the
opening session of the 48th annual
convention of the American Hospi-
tai Association, said the 40 per cent
elimination figure was based on a
study of Michigan.
Hospital facilities should be in
creased by $4,000 beds, the COM
mission reported. This, the group
estimated, would reflect 80 per cent
increase in present facilities through
out the Nation and would cost ap-
proximately 81 800, 900 900.
DR.. A. c. Bachmeyer of Chicago,
the commissions director of study,
stated in the report that hospitals
are now on the Threshold of a
period of development which will
mark the beginning of a new era in
the advancement of human welfare. +"
Would Broaden Support.
The report, besides urging hospi-
tails to broaden financial support,
strengthen services and increase
availability so that a complete and
systematic service will be the heri-
tage of the new generation" rec
commended:
l. That Is per cent of the present
SOB 900 general hospital beds be re-
placed because they are obsolete o.
for other reasons are not salts
factory.
2. That comprehensive facilities
be built eliminating many small
hospitals, nursing homes and con-
valescent homes.
3. That an interlinking hospital
system of complete medical centers
be set up in large communities and
smaller hospitals, health or medi-
cal service facilities be organized in
less populous and rural communities
4. That physicians and skilled hos
pital personnel be attracted to rural
areas and services of leading special
lists and consultants be utilized in
smaller communities
Result of Two-Year Study.
The association represents more
than 3,700 hospitals in the United
States and Canada. Representatives
from some so nations also are ex-
pected to attend.
Issuance of the report ended a
two-year study financed by contri-
buttons of s35, 1000 each from the w.
K. Kellogg Foundation. the Com
monwealth Fund and the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
The United States Public Health
Service assigned personnel to assist.
The commission, discussing the
problems of minority groups, said
adequate hospital care should be
available to all persons regardless of
creed, color, race or economic status.
Separate Negro hospitals should
not be developed except in communi-
ties where such hospitals are re-
qulred by law, the report added.
