HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 15..-Being a man who admires go-getters, I'm going to take time out today to make one of my lowest bows to Renee Riano the forty -odd-year- old character actress who plays Maggie in Monographs screen version of the comic strip. Bring ing Up Father"
 Judged by Hollywood standards, Miss Riano is anything but 8 pulp licity natural" She's not an ''im- portant star" she's not beautiful, she's not young, she's not glamor- ous. The average Filmville press agent, assigned the job of making her name known to America, would start his chores with a hopeless shrug.
 About a month ago, Miss Riano decided to go to New York, and, all on her own, figured she might just as well make a few friends on the way Loading her three cats and her dog into a trailer, she hitched it to her 1884 Oldsmobile, and started out. En route she paid visits to the mayors of all the cities through which she passed.
 At Monogram the other day, astounded publicity men showed me the press clippings resulting from her croSS-country trek-a mountain of them. Computing edi- torial space at regular advertising rates (actually it's worth much more). I'd estimate Miss Riano's harvest as worth approximately $1O0,0O0 bucks. And all she spent to get 1t was a little original think ing, a little friendly smiling and the price of the gasoline and oil needed to carry her 5000 miles In addition to reaping personal benefits I think Miss Riano is en- titled to the satisfaction derived from giving Hollywood a badly needed lesson. Shes taught a town that's getting too snug and digni- fled for its own good that show manship still pays dividends.
 A Los Angeles judge, finding Lawrence Tierney guilty of drunk enness and disturbance of the peace dished out punishment so light, in view of the offenders past record that it seems at first thought like a mere slap on the wrist Tierney was sent to the county basille for five days, given suspended Sen- tentence of 50 days and placed on probation for a year. On second thought, however it's evident that there's going to be a great deaI of inconvenience in Tierneys fu- ture existence. With 60 days hang ing over his head in Los Angeles and a s0-day suspended sentence

Sourlas, the rightist bandit chieftain whose name means death itself to Greek Communists, said today that he never killed in Malice.
 Sourlas said he learned late in 1943 that Communists in Greece planned to attack the British and seize the government as soon as the country was liberated.

CHOICE MoRsEL It Says Here
By BOB HOPE NEW TOUR

Hollywood, California, Oct. 15- The East Coast will soon have a chance to sheer at my radio pro- gram in person. For four weeks we will do our little charadeS from such villages as New Am sterdam, Philadelphia, Boston and Detroit.
 It's starting to get chilly back there and figure it'll be much easier to trap audiences, If can get nice warm studio. In fact, back there they always put a sign outN front saying, Steam Heat and Bob Hope"
 But it's great to be getting ready to hit the road again. The only thing I have to worry about is will the road hit back?
 I spent all morning packing my duffle bag. It's a little small, though. could only get about half of my duffles in 1t. (My butcher gave me that joke. He has lots of time to think 'em up
 
 these days)
 But I started travelling at very early age. It wasn't my fault, though. The stork had arthritis and I had to hitch-hike the last fifty miles to the chimney but I came from long line of tourists. In fact, Columbus was an ancestor of mine. I know, because I was looking through an old his- tory book and discovered that when he first landed he said, ''This is Christopher New World Columbus, telling all you Indians to drink-um Columbus f1re-water, it no cause harm. it go to your head and keep your wig warm" 1" (Of course, after this he didn't stay in America long0

 Limited quantities of housewares appeared on the shelves this week but stocks continued too limited to permit any large scale housewares promotions and seasonal sales gem erally were restricted to decorative accessories.

on the ultimate value of the exten- sive attachments made by the Fed- eral Government against holdings of Daniel J. Leary, convicted Water bury conspirator.
 Leary was never charged with embezzlement. The criminal charges against him stemmed. however, from misappropriation of city funds while he was City Comptroller.
 Some legal circles hold that the decision made by the nations high est court on the embezzlement issue also may apply to the type of mis- appropriation involved in the Leary case.
 The high court in the recent deci- sion held that embedded money could not be counted as ''prclt or taxable gain"
 Other opinions of the Supreme Court also have over-ruled the taxation right of the government to any part of money that has been illegally obtained. They have held that in taxing stolen money" the government in effect would be shar- ing in the theft"

U.S.-AngIo Reply Due For Breach
 Foreign Minister Bevin FormuIotin Answer tO U.S.S.R.

London, March 3 - (UP) - A Foreign Office spokesmanSsai today that Britain has started consulta- tion with the United States over the Russia ndecision to keep troops in Iran past today's edadline, and inc dicated that joint Anglo o-Arnericarl' protest may be made. h8
 Foreign Office sources made 1t clear that they regard the Soviet decision as clear breach of the British-Soviet- Persian pact signed in 1922, They handed to correspond ents copies of the treaty and Anglo Soviet exchanges on the pledge by both big powers to have their troops out of Iran by March 2.
 Britain, possibly in conjunction with the United States, is expected to protest the Soviet action and ask for an explanation.
 The Russian radio announced yes- terday that Red Army troops would remain in the northern parts of Tran, including the Azerbaijan Prov tnce, until the situation has been cleared"
 Bevin Shapes Charges
 The announcement made no ref- arence to the international treaties in which Russia, Britain and the United States agreed to have all their troops out of Iran six months after the war ended. This date was ofilcially fixed as March 2,
 Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin took charge. of the shaping the British action.
 Russia gave Britain no advance antimation of her decision to retain troops in Iran, 1t was learned. The vague terms of the Russian an- nouncement gave no spectific reason for the extended Red Army stay, nor an indication how long 1t would continue. It stated that Soviet forces would begin withdrawing today from several Iranian provinces where the situation is considerably quieter."
