GOOD GOATS SCARCER
THAN CONGRESSMAN
BREEDERS DECLARE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March
eU.D-Good goats are scarcer
than good Congressman.
At least that's the opinion of
the Southern Dairy Goat Own
ers and Breeders association.
The association sent a pro-
test to Washington Wednesday
against Navy proposal to put
300 goats on q ship for the
forthcoming atom bomb expert
ments.
Good goats are too scarce,
they said.
They suggested "some of the
congressman" be used as SUBJ
stitutes.

Stars Also Feel the Rush
By Harold Heffernon

| In 1885 the glamour boys and girls
hadn't yet become accustomed to
mixing careers with marriage-and
as for babies, well, they just had
no place in the overall picture.
Those that did arrive were kept in
the background for fear the par
entail box Office rating would take
nose dive.
Here, after quick survey, are
few of the headline homes that
will have children romping merrily
around the tree this Christmas
morning:
Dana Andrews, three; Hedy La
MARI, two (another expected; Bob
Hope, four; Bing Crosby, four; Dick
Haynes, two; Gene Tierney, one;
Lana Turner, one; Dorothy Lamour,
one; Don Ameche, four; Ronald
Reagan, one; John Payne, two;
Laraine Day, three; Betty Hutton,
one; Ingrid Bergman, one; Mickey
Rooney, one expecting another) ;
and Enrol Flynn, one, with second

The baby market is, IN fact, thriv-
ing to such an extent in celluloid
glitter homes that one or two i'm
pending bundles of Joy could arrive,
on doctors schedule, to give added
zest to the great day.
With the holiday falling in mid
week, there'n be no prolonged OBJ
servance of Christmas this year save
for the usual scattered exceptions,
of course. A few of the boys and
girls are bound to accumulate
hangovers. All workers, stars in
cluded, will be ordered back on the
stages promptly at 8 am. Thursday
because the industry is far behind
schedule, due to the prolonged strike
of carpenters and set designers.
Shakeup Impending.
And even though many an ex-
pensive gift and hearty Merry
christmas" greeting is being ex-
changed among the bigwigs, an
ominous note has been sounded.
The $4,000 studio employees will re-
turn to their task to face a shakeup
that will rock the film-making ma
chinery of every lot.

trenchment certain to be launched

A man who makes nylons in Hol-
lywood learns lot about women
And had lunch yesterday with
Willy de Mond, the. nylon king OF
Hollywood, to learn what he learned
about Hollywood movie stars during
the recent four-year nylon famine
And what a tale Mr.. de Mond told
me! 1t seems that women have no
scruples where nylons are concerned
It's like dope-they've got to have

During the war" says Willy, Il
was the only man in California, and
think in America, who had WPB
priority to manufacture nylons
But, of course, I could make them
Only for the studios. And you'd be
surprised to know which stars tried
to make me sell them nylons and
exactly how far they would go to
get them"
One actress, going to the Presi-
dents birthday ball in Washington
asked Willy for pair of nylons
She said she had to have them
When he arrived at her house with
some rayon substitutes he found tfi
lass all decked out. #1 1873.
He's Critic at Heart.
"She drew the blinds says Willy
With a giggle. "And I just sat there
while she talked and talked about
life and about nylons. After one
and half hours of it, I said, That's
very interesting, but can't give you
any nylons.!' She was furious, and
told me, You know what's wrong
with you, Willy? You're~a hero to
yourself"

so thin that we have to make special
stockings for her. Marlene Dietrich
is the most vain about her legs, but
they are by no means the best in
Hollywood.
According to Willy. the best legs
in Hollywood today are owned by
Janis Paige, Janis Garter, Martha
Vickers, Marie Wilson and Esther
Williams. He knows what he is
talking about, because he has seen
practically every leg in Hollywood.
II made some gold mesh stockings
for Peggy Cummins to wear as Am
Der in Forever Amber that cost
81, 100 a pair" he tells me. These
were a total loss to goth Century
Fox when Peggy left the picture, be-
cause they were too small for Linda
Darnell. And she had the same
stockings made for her, at the same
price.
Andrea's Coming Back.
Andrea Leeds as Lillian Russell in
my Wild Irish Rose" wears fine
silk stockings with roses embroidered
in the ankle. II was given the order
to make IL pairs of these at $50 a
pair, on Friday, and they We're de-
tlivered on Monday" says Mr.. de
Mond proudly.
"The most fabulous stockings ]
ever made" saws De MOnd. *Were
for Alice Faye in In Old Chicago
The price for one pair was $500!
1t took us 10 to IL pairs of nylons to
make the one pair-they had pre-
cious stones, sewn on, and we kept
snagging the stockings"
Most of the dancing stockings
supplied by Willy to the studios cost
from SIS to $22 a pair. Ordinary
everyday nylons cost around $3.50
a pair.
But says Willy, some of the
stars are allergic to nYlons." I
thought he was kidding until he
explained that when Paulette God
dard or Ann Sheridan wears nylons,
they are uncomfortable. These stars
use only silk stockings.

Only couple of shopping ano

things have hit a pitch unparalleled
in any holiday rush since prevail

Santa Claus looks beaten up today
He's the stout and jolly character
actor who has been riding down the
boulevard nightly during the perioo
between Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. his luxurious motor-dr
sleigh throwing up great fountains
of artificial snow.
Salesman though he is for the
merchants who combine to sponsor
him each season, this particular
Santa has become symbolic of the
manner in which the movie folks
celebrate the Yule season. They de
it with a fair.
The reason Santa has extra big
bags under his eyes this year is the
snubbing he took from the film per-
sonalities. In seasons past it ha.
been customary for Santa to compile
a list of screen stars and each nigh
select two of them to ride with him
Driving maiestically down tht
boulevard sitting there with old KrI
has been a high honor, coveted by
every actor who hopes to attrac
attention to himself in this business
But for some unpublished reason
