Fifteen times in succession, she won before leaving in da0e as she tried to compute mythical profits that, had real money been wagered, would have run into the millions. What she didn't know was that the wheel on the set was "fixed"-all the dealer had to do to give her a win was to press the right button.
 That very English actor, Roland Culver, signed by Paramount on a Monday, was rushed into an im- portant supporting role in The Emperor Waltz" on Tuesday, due to a sudden change in the shooting schedule. In his first scene, Culver had to introduce to Joan Fontaine four characters bearing the names Of Princess Bototska," 'Maroues Alonso La Fuente," Duke Ferdi Won Lindendorf" and Prince Ist- van Bilosi de Balosloaska." It wouldn't be worth reporting if it were not for the amusing fact that Culver habitually addresses even time-honored acquaintances as "Cld Fellow" and old Girl" because he's so absent-minded that he can't remember their names.
 I've heard many strange reasons given for production delays, but none more amusing than the one advanced for the stoppage of work on RKO's "The Devil Thumbs a Ride" In one of the top roles is Ted North, just discharged from the Navy. Unable to get a tailored suit made by his starting date in the picture, North had to get hand me-down garment-one of dubious quality since the role he was play ing called for him to dress in loud checks that are carried by few first quality stores. All went we'll until the script required him to dive into the briny, whereupon the suit shriv- eled to midget size. The company lost two days trying to match the material

 The town is loaded with drive ins and you practically live in your car. Not only is it convenient, but it solves the housing problem.
 It's not true that everyone drives custom-built cars. when you get out of Hollywood traffic, your car is bound to look differ ent. Hollywood traffic. i. E. that's an ant village on wheels. The women drivers don't dent their lenders. those are notches!

HOLLYWOOD, August 5-With the Warner Brothers beating the biggest drum (their just privilege) the movie industry tomorrow will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Talking Pictures. It occurs to me that some of you may have forgot ten how the great miracle was first received in Hollywood.
 Wilfred Beaton, editorializing in what was then the industry's lead- ing trade paper, wrote: T haven't yet seen a talking picture but a Warner Brothers executive tells me they are terrible. Warner Brothers are making dialogue pictures for the sole purpose of assisting the moneyed interests behind them to sell wiring to theaters. In subse- quent issues, l will 60 into the mer- cenary phase of the situation"
 Said movie mogul Joseph Schenck: |: There will be silent films when talking pictures are forgotten!" Said Uncle Carl Laemmle, then boss of Universal: They are absurd. The public, which has learned to be in- telligent in it's selection of screen entertainment, will never accept them" Said Jesse L. Lasky, then the MT. Big of Paramount: T feel that there might be some use for sound in pictures for the slanming of doors, the blowing of whistles or the sound of trains, but that is about as far as it goes. Silent pictures are an art that need not be supple mented."

 Miss Williams childhood ambition was to be a champion swimmer. She achieved it while attending Las An gles City college and the University of Southern California. By the time she was fifteen she had won the lo0- meter free-style national champion ship. During 1888 and 1889 she was Pacific Coast champion.

How to Win Friends and Influence
 Good Neighbors: Guns and Military
BY BOYD LEWIS NEA Staff CorreSpondent

Rio De Janeiro, Aug. 5-(NEA)- In a current Broadway musical hit, Ethel Norman sings that you can't get man with a gun"
 But in the field of inter-Amer- ican relations, diplomats find that you CAN win nations with guns and it is a known fact that in every South American country which has had military mission from an- other country, its political orienta- tion has favored the country from which that mission came.
 That's why there is strong dip- lomatic support for President Tru- mans Hemisphere Defense bill. That bill would authorize the U. s. to offer all Latin American nations U. s. military missions.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-
 (NEA) The Inter-American Mil-
 itary Cooperation Bill, which is
 strongly supported by U. s. di-
 plomats in South America, is
 believed to stand little change
 of passage at this session of
 Congress.
 It has been reported favor-
 ably by the House Foreign Re-
 lations Committee but chances
 of it coming to a vote by the
 House are believed slim. In
 the Senate the bill is before the
 Subcommittee on Foreign af-
 fairs with no chance it will be
 reported out or acted upon by
 the full committee during this
 session.
 Influence For Peace
 U. s. Ambassador to Brazil Will liam D. Pawley told correspondents visiting South America by Pan- American World Airways that he believes this bill would be a trem- endous influence for peace in the hemisphere and that every nation in the hemisphere would leap in the opportunity to receive mission from the victorious veteran of World War II.
 To understand why the accredi- tation of a few soldiers and sailors to one of these countries should have so powerful an influence, you must understand that in practical ly every South American nation, the army is all-powerful. A part of this setup is that selected officers go to the United States to be train ed in our staff schools They ex- perience our hospitality and learn our language and ways. Often they marry North American girls.
 Pawley likes to tell the story of a Peruvian general of his acquaint- ance. Peru, being an adnirer of the pre-war French army, had French mission and this general had be- come thoroughly inculcated with the French military view.
 About year ago he accepted an
