BY 1910, however, there were few plump
people left in England. and Deborah, living
on seven dollars week while walking vainly
from one theatrical agency to another, was
not one of them 1t was double break for
her when friend invited her to fancy
restaurant, where she met Gabriel Pascal,
the British Hungarian producer. At the
time of the introduction Deborah was gaz-
ing pensively at the menu, and she hardly
looked up. But Pascal was enchanted.
Sweet lady," he said, kissing her hand,
you are positively spiritual"
Il am positively hungry said the prac-
tical Miss Kerr.
She Became Ethereal
In THE absence of Danish butter and
Australian mutton from the British larder,
Kerr became even more spiritual Once re-
ferred to by friend as plump little
dumping" Deborah could now play the
ethereal Salvation Army lass in Major
Barbara the wan proletarian maid in
Love on the Dole" the 1.-THE, aristocratic
beauty in Colonel Blimp."
Finally rations reduced her figure to the
point where her charming foot fitted the
Hollywood slipper perfectly Louis B. Mayer
got interested. Before Miss Kerr could say
no options" she was whisked off to Holly
wood, had house on the Pacific Palisades,
was wearing dresses by Irene and drinking
orange juice from her own citrus grove
There is quite British colony in
Hollywood today, but Deborah is being
favored above all others. Most of her
compatrlots are here on the so-called lend
lease arrangement. They appear in one or
two pictures, in exchange for an equal num-

sent to exile in the British studios. 1t is
only temporary exchange. The American

The 'Trib' Doctors a Headline :.

1t may be trivial but it has become such habit for
GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE and other daily headwriters

A Raw Deal

That the veterans who purchased homes in
the Calhoun Lane veterans housing project
in Billings have been taken for ride" by a
combination of contractors the bank han
ding the CT loans and their attorneys appears
obvious to everyone. Moreover, the veterans
assert with apparent justification that the
Veterans Administration officials up to the
present have been playing ball" with the
contractors, the bank and others sharing in
the sale of the homes to the veterans
The veterans bought the homes at an
agreed price, according to information from
reliable sources, while the streets and other
facilities were under construction, and the
veterans naturally assumed that this purchase
price included these facilities. However thew
mad rude awakening, when the county COM
mlssioners later met and created an improve
ment district under which each of the proper
ties purchased by the veterans were taxed
heavy sum for the street improvements etc.
In an interview with one of the representa-
tives of the Veterans Administration by The
Voice, this official told of meeting held in
Billings by interested parties to work out a
solution of the problem which would be fair
to the veterans. No stenographic record of
the statements of this representative was
made, but The Voice representatives certain
ly received the impression that the veterans
had been invited and representatives of them
participated in this meeting where plans
were discussed to arrive at an understanding
Now it appears that the veterans had not been
invited and did not attend; that the meeting
was held between representatives of the bank
the contractors and the Veterans Administra-
ton, and that such plans as had been made
were made without the knowledge and ap-
proval of the veterans.
To be sure, the veterans may have been
at fault in not being careful enough to inquire
into all conditions surrounding the properties
they purchased To put it another way and
in palmer language: The veterans assumed
that they were dealing with people who in
some slight degree were interested in their
welfare

AFL PRES. GREEN
 ANNOUNCES FIGHT
 AGAINST NEW LAW
Statement Made df Special Conference of Union
 Officials

WASHINGTON, July 9.-R,-AFI President William Green told lead CTS of 105 AFL unions today i've will never stop fighting until the Taft-H Hartley labor law is repealed and those who voted for it are de- feated."
 Green spoke at the opening ot a special conference of union off, cials to determine policy toward the new labor laws provisions. He said
 "The Taft Hartley act represents ia determined attack on the trade union movement by our enemies It is an attempt to weaken unions and render them impotent so that the working people of the country can be exploited.
 Lewis and Green conferred last night, presumably on the mine workers new contract and it's rela- tion to the Hartley law.
 The miners pact probably will come up for discussion at the AFT conference because it is the first major agreement negotiated since passage of the Taft Hartley act. It contains provisions skirting some requirements of the law.

HOUSE COM.
 GIVES OkEH : TO MEASURE
Passage of 1 Legislation Urged- d-Indidn Rights
 Are Protected

WASHINGTON. July 9.-tR-The House Agriculture Committee ap- proved today legislation authoriz- ing the Agriculture Department to sell timber on Iongass National Forest of Alaska to pulp and paper mills.
 The legislation. which provides that money from the sale of the timber shall be held in the Trea- sury until the rights of Indian claimants tc some of the land is determined, was recommended to the House with only one minor amendment.
 The Agriculture and Interior De- partments urged passage of the measure as it was introduced in the House to permit quick Con- gressional action to establish up to five S30,000,000 paper mills in the Tel k.
 Charles F. frannan. Assistant Secretary of Az 'iculture, read to the committee letter from the Pu- get Sound Pulp and Timber Com pany of Bellingl. am, Wash. urging quick action on the bill as written. The company said 1t could not risk establishing paper mill in the Territory if Indians were given pa- tents to any of the timber because it would entail too great an ex- pense to purchase the timber rights. A similar letter from the D. and F. Company of New York was read to the committee.
 Grammar and Mastin G. White, solicitor of the Interior Depart ment, testified the bill as written protected the Indian rights by holding the receipts from the sale of the timber until the Indian rights are decided They said en- actment of the measure will not prejudice the rights of the Indians to lair and reasonable settlement. .. White told the committee the In- dianS had refused to waive their rights upon agreement to pay them ten percent of the annual receipts from the timber. He said the re- ceipts will amount to approximate ly S2,000,000 year

SEN.(ApEHART CONSIDERING ALASKA TRIP
One Committee, Possibly Two, May Come for 0n-
 fhe-Spot Survey

WASHINGTON, July 9.-lR-An on-the-spot congressional survey of the possibilities of establishing three to five newsprint mills in Alaska is being seriously consid- ered,' Senator Capehart (R-Ind) said today.
 Chairman of the Senate's special newsprint committee, he told a re- porter he believes "a minimum" of 500,000 tons of newsprint can be produced annually from govern ment-owned timberland in South east Alaska
 He said his committee, if it makes the trip, will go late in August or early in September and will invite a similar House com mittee headed by Rep. Clarence Brown (R-Ohio) to go along Representatives of the Commerce and Agricultural Departments also will be included.
 The principal purpose, he said will be to check on the proper arrangements for disposing of the government forests to private in dustry.y He added that private newsprint companies have shown sufficient interest" to warrant a congressional survey.
 Action by Congress on pending legislation would be necessary be- fore private interests could under take production, Capehart said, be- cause of government ownership of the timber and because "a lot of Indian claims would have to be cleaned up,"
 The Senator said production from the hundreds of thousands of acres" should suffice to take care of the newsprint needs of the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain states, although not un- til after several years"
 Current consumption of news prirs in the United States, he said, is about 100000 tons a year, of which 80 percent is im- ported. He estimated that some 6,000,00O tons are needed to meet the demand
 "The only solution we see at the moment for increasing United States production is establishment of mills in Alaska he said.

Thai Flying Disc" Found
 In New Mexico Was Just
 Harmless Weather Balloon

FORT WORTH, July 9.-lR-Ar examination by the Army revealed last night that a mysterious ob- ject found on lonely New Mex ico ranch was a harmless high altitude weather balloon-not { grounded flying disc.
 Excitement was high in disc conscious Texas until Brig. Gen Roger M Ramey, commander oi the Eighth Air Forces with head quarters here, cleared up the mys- tery.
 The bundle of tinfoil, broken wood beams and rubber remnants of balloon were sent here yesterday by army air transport in the wake of reports that it was a flying disc
 But the general said the objects were the crushed remains of Ray wind target, used to determine the direction and velocity of winds at high attitudes.
 Warrant Officer Irving Newton forecaster at the Army Air Forces weather station here, said we use them because they go much high CT than the eye can see"
 The weather paIioon was found several days ago in a desolate sec tion of New Mexico by a rancher w. w. Brazill He said he didn't think much about it until he went into Corona, N. M, last Saturday and heard the flying disc reports
 He returned to his ranch, 8s miles northwest of Roswell, and recovered the wreckage of the bal loon, which he had placed under some brush.
 Brazill hurried back to Roswell, where he reported his find to the sheriff's office.
 The sheriff called the Roswell air field and Maj Jesse A. Marcel, 5o9th Bomb Group intelligence of- ficer, was assigned to the case.
 Col. William H. Blanchard, com manding officer of the bomb group, the find to General Ra- mey and the object was flown im- mediately to the army air field here.

LEND D-LEASE
 FOR BRITAIN
 TINTED NOW
Deputy Prime Minister Morrison Makes Im-
 portanf Statement

LONDON, July 9.-tR-Parlia- ment had a hint from the govern ment today, only three days prior to the Paris economic conference, that renewal of United States lend- lease before fall might be necessary to save Britain from unproductive poverty.
 we cannot indefinitely go on im- porting what we cannot pay for, Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison said last night in House of Commons economic debate. To bring buying down to ability to pay, he declared, Britain would have to cut imports 25 percent and make great adjustments" in production and standard of living.
 The only remedy ;" he said, lies in devising some means whereby billions of dollars worth of North and South American pro- duction could be transferred across the Atlantic without the necessity for immediatae payment in the form of an equal and opposite flow of European goods"
 Observers noted the similarity be- tween this proposal and wartime Iend-lease.
 Of London's morning papers, only the ruling Labor party's Daily Her. aid refrained from criticizing gov- ernment economic policy. The Con- munist Daily Worker said the pol icy appears to te to drift until the Americans come over with a form of lend-lease"

REQUEST TO BARTLETT

Ralph J. Rivers. Attorney Gen eral of Alaska. telegraphed Dele gate E. L. Bartlett last night urg- ing Bartlett to use his full weight tor the passage of the measure for the general good of Alaska and for the national interest.
 Rivers told Bartlett that he be- lieves the likelihood of tribal occu- rational rights to the plans has teen over emphasized by Warner Gardner, former Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior Department He pointed out that previous court case. had held that such rights were extinguished by the treaty of cession. Rivers said. If this decision is wrong. TO years of Congressional action, adverse to such claims. has probably consti- tuted extinguishment"
 Tt is deplorablc, Rivers stated, that the avowed policy of Secre- tary Krug to encourage pulp and ther development should be thwarted by action within his own department by the misleading of Alaska Indians into opposing HJR 2O5."
 Passage of such a resolution would fulfill the long sought pulp development to the advantage of all groups in Alaska Rivers de- clared, "and would provide a fund for the payment of native tribal claims if and when they are estab- lished.' He stated that blocking of pulp development in order to force the recognition of the said claim is an i'll advlsed strategy which the native representatives have been persuaded to employ to the detri- ment of their own people in the general Alaska picture.
