|Kurds' Claims Point
Ito Clash Of British
And Soviet Interests

Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and

CAIRO, Mar. 22.-The case OF
the Kurds' national claim for indie.
pendence, which is bound to be
evoked at the forthcoming United
Nations Security Council meeting
offers perfect example of Russia's
clever ways of infiltration among
Arab nations and the consequent
and almost inevitable conflict with
British interests.
A people of 100000, according
to their own figure, the proud Kurd
tribesmen seem naturally placed In
a Middle East keypoint. Some live
in the Azerbaijan territory occu-
pied by the Red Army, some inhabit
the coveted Mosul oil area, while
others straddle the Iraq Turk Iran
borders. Still another group occu-
pies Syria's natural fortress, the
mountainous Djezireh region.
For years the Kurds vainly have
demanded independence. Instead,
they frequently were massacred by
the majority among whom they
lived, especially the Turks. Soviet
Russia now is ready to help them.
Naturally, Iran, Iraq, Syria and
Turkey are opposing, with strong
British support.
Kurd Party Formed.
On January 13 the Kurd Demo-
cratic party announced the forma-

The president of the new republic
Kadi Mohammed, called on all
Kurds to unite for independence
and violently attacked Fascism and
imperialism. The new republic i'm
mediately was given a military force
of 5000 under the command of pro-
Russian Mullah Mustafa. Announce
ment Of the new republic was made
in Iran, Iraq and Syria.
Although Russia has given no
publicity to the movement, reports
here assert that Russian arms were
distributed to forces of the new
republic, while books and printing
material for their instruction were
given lavishly. The Russian-con-

Campaign Started.
At almost the same time, Soviet
agents started a propaganda cam
paign among the Kurds in Syria
and Iraq. The Russian Minister in
Beyrouth gave lavish receptions to
Kurd and Syrian leaders expressing
sympathy for the independence
movement.
At the first indication of the move
ment, Turkey closed its frontiers to
the Kurds and launched violent op-
posing propaganda in Kurdistar1,
accusing the Soviets Of using the
Kurds as tools.

cult to reconcile with President
Trumans jeremiad with respect to

and damned by the said Mr.. Pauley.
Smith Hard to Replace.
When Harold D. Smith resigned
as director of the budget the Gov
ernment lost an able public servant
who was practically irreplaceable.
Mr.. Smith recommended as his sue
cessor Paul H. Appleby, who had
been assi"tant director Of the budget
and who was able, competent and
highly experienced. After serving
in that post, to the entire satisfac-
ton of the country, Mr.. Appleby re-
signed to take a job in private life,
as so many capable officials have
found 1t necessary to do on account
of the inadequate salaries that the
Federal Government had been pay
ing and, in some respects, still is
paying.
Director Smith considered Apple
by's services so efficient that he be-
sought him to return as assistant
director. He asked President Tru-
man to add his pleas, pointing out
to him that, in the event of a va

cancy in the dictatorship. Appleby
would be on hand 10 succeed him
as director. Apparently in support
Of this thoroughly sound idea. Presi-
dent Truman did urge Appleby to
return.
I was willing to bet that the
President would not appoint Paul
H. Appleby. And was right. The
man who was named has had no
experience or training in responsible
budgetary duties. But doubtless it
was considered by President Truman
to be good political appointment
since the appointee was a protege
of Undersecretary of the Treasury
o. Max Gardner.
Not Even Good Politics.
So, at least in this instance, the
complaints of President Truman
that he cannot get good men" to
accept Federal Office are somewhat
insincere For this important post
he could have appointed a good
man." and instead he made po-
litical appointment. Moreover, 1t
was not even good" political ap-
pointment. North Carolina is a Ak
ture in the Democratic column and
Undersecretary Gardner, not only
as an inveterate Democrat, but as
a Federal official, would necessarily
have to go along with the admin
istration.
But there undoubtedly was a rea-
son for the Presidents appointing
as director of the budget a man
whom he had not even met until
the appointment was signed and
sealed and ready to be delivered

today an uncle of mine is considered
far and away the best Fourth-of-
July-parade Uncle Sam Bulloch
County has ever had.
Seriously though, I went to New
York in 1928 to be an actor, not a
newspaperman. At the age of 81,
with a letter of ITO Whom 1t May
Concern" from my high school dra-
matics coach in my pocket, I felt
ready to chase the names of older
and more famous actors off the
marquee lights of Broadway. I went
from casting agency to casting
agency without getting so much as
an interview. Finally. one agent
took me into his Office, and after
listening to me tell him my dreams
in a Southern accent which made
OF Black Joe sound like a Rhodes
scholar. placed a kindly hand on my
shoulder, and said:
"Son, 'Coquette' has already been
played. There amt likely to be a
revival in 20 years, and until then
I don't believe there will be enough
colored butler parts to keep you in
eating money. I suggest you try
another business"
How I wanted to tell that agent
his name was Chamberlain Brown,
by the wav) how wrong he was,
and what a success I had made in
the Atlanta Little Theater Guild
production of Clarence" only few
months before. 7 remember that
production as II 1t were yesterday.
Harry Ellerbe, then Georgia Tech
student, and later to become leading
man to Nazimova, was scheduled to
play the title role. Remember the
play-Clarence is gangling six
foot-two or three war veteran.
was, and still am, much less than
six feet three, and at that age looked
more like Boy Scout from a hike
than a man who had served a hitch
in World War I.
The director told me to build my
self up by putting cork in my shoes
I had never heard of that. but took
him literally, and cut off some cork
tops of vinegar bottles and put them
in the heels of my shoes. Ny heels
were actually outside the leather of
my shoes when I appeared on the
stage, and with each step I took,
the corks wobbled, throwing me of
balance.
When I first stepped on the stage,
and started teetering. my mother
left In horror, thinking I had dis
graced the family by appearing
drunk. One second I would be five
feet ten, thanks to the upright vine
gar corks. Then, the corks would
turn over, and with a look of anguish
as I tossed off line or two, I would
drop to five feet eight.
The first time I was off stage the
director got the corks out of my
shoes, but they had done their dam
age. My feet hurt so badly that I
finished the play on tiptoe, protect
ing my tender heels. When the
stage direction called for Clarence
to stomp in, I would tiptoe on stage
like Jimmy Valentine about to COM
NIT burglary.
Nevertheless, 1t was a novel In
depreciation of the role, and the
play enjoyed long run from the
$50 curtain call to 10:55 when the
curtain went down.
Thwarted, I turned to the news
paper business. But don't think that
don't secretly believe that Ham
let" still needs to be done with a
Southern accent.

enhance the regulations of either
the writer's or the late Mr.. Roose-
welt.
Certainly the bad taste, malice
and meanness of the Elliott Roose-
velt books, while not at all likely
TO hurt Elliott's reputation, have
put his father in light so sorry
that some of the latters most ar
dent friends have been moved to
protest, and the accuracy as we'll as
the purposes of these revelations
have been questioned.
Reputation Suffers.
Recently his words were used by
Mr. Kenneth c. Crawford, an able
and ardent admirer of the late
President. to make the very sound
point that Mr.. Roosevelt's reputa-
ton suffers these days far more
from the "discreditable misconcep-
tions" of his relatives and dearest
friends than from any attack either
by Republicans or anti Roosevelt
Democrats.
In fact, II there has been any
favorable comment from any re-
viewer either of the right or the
left. either from the political
friends of his father or his foes,
1t has not as yet become public.
The bumptious effrontery of this
insensitive and indelicate young
man, whose financial transactions
have done so much to tarnish the
record of his father. seems to have
appalled, the most devout worship
ers of the late Mr.. Roosevelt more
than they have disguised those
who neither liked nor admired him
The latter have not taken as
worthy of comment the Elliott at
tack on Mr.. Churchill, his defense
of Russia-or anything else in this
brash and silly book. Mostly, these
have estimated the amount of
money he will get from his maga-
zine articles and from the book it
self. Adding this to the amount he
made. with the help of his father,
through the settlement of some
s5e0,000 of borrowed money at the
rate of cents on the dollar-they
let it go at that.
The Nelson plot"
As for Mr.. Nelson, whose record
as head of the War Production
Board was nothing to rush up on
the roof and cheer about, there is
this to be said about his book. 1t
hn In So
record no harm in the way Elliotts
book does, in that he makes Mr..
Roosevelt out neither a vain man
nor false friend, but certainly
1t will do Mr.. Nelson no good. Very
few persons claim now that Mr.
Nelson was a great success in his
job, 1t has been charged that he
held on to it long time because
he played in very close with the
late Mr.. Hopkins. who was closer
than all others to the late President.
But in the end, the latter, always
reluctant to let a man go or admit
mistake, was compelled by the
mess into which things had gotten
to ease Mr. Nelson out of his Job
and send him on a more or less
ridiculous mission to China, accom-
panied by the usual highly pub
licized but wholly meaningless
presidential letters of high esteem
and appreciation. Certainly that is
a widely held view which has ap-
peared in print.
In his book Mr.. Nelson "bares a
plot" in 1943 of the heads of the
Army and Navy along with War
Mobilization Director James F
Byrnes (now Secretary of State) to
throw him out as WPB chief and
install Mr.. B. M Baruch in his
place.

that Mr.. Baruch would not have

off from the delightful thought
of an atom bomb dropping on
Belgrade or Moscow and write
the same sort of nice things
about me that he does about Ryan
of the longshoremen and the fine
old American practice of lynch
ing.
IF I sound reasonably incoher
emf, you must remember that
this sort of thing doesn't happen
every day. Here I was believing,
from everything / ever read or
heard, that Willie Hearst was
lust an old monster, an American
prototype of A. Hitler or B. Mus.
solini, the sort of person against
whom even BERTHE Mccormick
would seem like cultured gen
tleman; and then, 10 and behold,
I find myself allied with this
same Willie Hearst in a great
crusade. That sort of thing can
shake you.
Willie Hearst, you know, is a
great one for cruSadeS. The
Hearst newspapers are always
crusading for some fine Ameri-
can ideal. You may remember
that back just before the turn of
the century, this same Willie
Hearst sent an artist to Cuba to
cover the war with Spain. The
artist. after arriving there, wired
to Willie:
mo war;"
To which Willie answered:
"You provide the pictures.
I'll provide the war"
WILLIE was always such a
card You just have to look at
him with open eyes and get all
that nasty hate out of your heart
to see what a card Willie was =
and still is. He loves to make
wars = crusades for them; none
of your stupid anti-fascist wars,
of course, but good, honest wars
against those monster nations
who seek world domination, like
Yugoslavia and CZechoslovakia.
And Willie crusades for other
things too, like the open shop
and the anti-vivisection law.
After all, what happy world
this would be if there were no
doctors and medicine and hospi-
tails, and maybe if you really
stopped vivisection and made it
possible for all children to get
infantile paralysis, we wouldn't
have wars because the popula-
ton would decrease naturally.
