A Scot Fights Famine
Food Policy to Meet
Human Needs
IsCoaI
By Malcolm Lamborne, J.

By Malcolm Lamborne, J.
In a world of resurgent national
ism, Sir John Boyd Orr's inter-
nationalism stands out as sharply
as his Scottish burr. .
Sir John, who could be mistaken
for Movie Actor c. Aubrey Smith,
is director-general OF the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Or
ganization, familiarly known as
FAC.
An outgrowth of the Hot Springs
Food Conference Of 1943, FAC is a
statistical gathering, investigating
and recommendatory organization
of At nations. It is concerned with
nutrition, fisheries and forestry, as
well as food and agriculture.
FAC may one day be a stronger
body, with the tools to start the long
pull of erasing perpetual hunger
from the world. When that day ar
rives, much Of the credit will go to
the 66-year-old Scotsman who took
over the f1edgling organization in
October, 1945.
Sir John Is a humanitarian. He
hates war and believes it is avoid.
able. More than a year ago he was
elected president Of the National
Peace Council, which seeks to pro-
mote better social and economic
conditions and world unity. Sir
John lost an only son in the last
war; he was killed in action with
the Royal Air Force. In the First
World War Sir John served with the
British Army and was awarded the
Military Cross and the Distinguished
Service Order for bravery in action.
During the recent war he was an
officer in the Home Guard.
Holds Many Degrees.
Born in Ayreshire, on the west
coast of Scotland, Sir John once
considered becoming preacher.
But he turned to science instead.
In 10 years at the University of
Glasgow, which now looks on him
as its greatest living alumnus, he
won degrees in arts, sciences and
medicine.
It was in the fields OF nutrition
and agriculture that Sir John won

advantages, the writer's of the new
Design for Freedom claim that both
trades unions and employers asso-
Citations have built up too many re-
strictive practices. Such restric-
tions, they argue, are absolutely out
of line with the drive for full pro-
duction.
Any liberation accorded by various
combines to the inefficient producer
makes them an economic evil.
Therefore, the transfer of such
combinations from private owner
ship to the state would only per-
petuate their evils and, say the de-
signers, they should be broken up
altogether. It is even suggested that
the combinations be destroyed by
| introducing state-financed compet-
/ itors.
Partnership in Industry.
The pamphlet shows the thinking
of this group to be hostile to any
high degree of industrial organ
ization, but at the same time it
stresses the chances for adventurous
enterprise along with greatly i'm
proved standards of living. To these
designers of a new era. the nation
is one and in this single entity
employers and workers must regard
each other as partners, never as
antagonists.
The fact that so many conserva-
tives were willing to sign the docu-
ment is considered important over
here.
The Liberal Party leaders refused
to join the group officially, because,
they claim, they are absolutely in
dependent and want to remain so.
In the main, the courageous
thinking and the general tone of
the pamphlet seems to reflect an
American influence on the ideas
generated among the Conservatives.
In other words, the party most
apt to replace the Labor govern
ment, If such a thing happens in
the next four years, would be one
that is aiming at progress based
upon the same political thought as
may govern the United States
after 1913.

popularity Is gaining. But 1t can
not be overlooked that his party
was repudiated at the polls last
November.
Presidents who have appealed to
the country most successfully have
gone over the heads of leaders of
their own party. To appeal against
the leaders of the opposition would
lay a President open to the charge
Of playing politics.
This avenue, then, would seem to
be closed to Mr.. Truman unless the
Republicans are so extraordinarily
inept in their legislative program as
to give him an opportunity.
Secondly, what about the pres
sures of the day? r.
If the lesson of the last elections
is that the chief pressure IS for
curbing the power Of labor, then
that pressure is at variance with
the administrations policies. The
pressure arising from the disturbed
state of the world may, on the other
hand, operate in his favor.
AS for patronage, the plums were
pretty well distributed when Mr..
Truman came into Office.
Apply these same tests to the
| Wilson administration,
Wilson came into office as leader
He did not have the radio, but he
did not need it. Mark Sullivan, in
an analysis of Wilson's art with
words, has written:
Wilson Was Eloquent.
Wilson knew words; his armory
of them was more full and varied
than any military arsenars store OF
guns and ammunition. He knew
how to choose one word for its driv-
ing force, another for an aura OF
sentiment to excite emotion, an
other to explode like a star shell and
throw light on a situation"
The pressures of the times were
behind Wilson-until the final two
years of his administration.
AS for patronage, he followed Re-
publicans in Office and thus had
many jobs to distribute to "deserv-
ing Democrats"
Both Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Hoover In
the middle of their terms found the
pressures pushing in directions they
did not want to t4ke. Neither had
the force or eloquence, or the posi-
tion in relation to the desires of the
people to make a successful plea
over the head Of Congress dominated
by political opponents.
As for Taft and patronage, Re-
publicans already held the jobs
when he came into Office, and Theo-
dore Roosevelt seemed to think he
held a mortgage on the presidency.
Others appeared to share that idea
and Taft did not know whether an
appointee would be loyal to him or
to Roosevelt. Taft complained that
every time he appointed any one to
Office he made mine enemies and
one migrate"
The politically hostile Congress
made Taft's final two years un-
happy ones. Not only did it ig-
more his recommendation that a
budget be adopted, but tried to di-
rect that estimates for appropria-
tions be submitted by the depart
ments to Congress alone, bypass
ing the President. Taft even was
forced to appeal in a special mes
sage for the passage of appropria-

one in the world but a jealous
woman would have killed my
sister. You're the kind to be mad
with jealousy. You did it!'
Laurie Gharian shrank farther
back, using the sergent as a
shield, her trembling hands busy
with his sleeve. Hes mad" she
whispered with white lips, "quite
mad! Take him away; he'll kill
mer
The young man answered with
derisive laughter. Mad? I'm not
mad. She's guilty! Look at her,
O'Hara; she's guilty!"
"Stand back, Creuse," said the
sergent sharply, "and leave Mrs.
Gharian to me. You've something
to answer for, yourself. How did
you come here? What are you
doing here in Gharian's house?
Why were you absent from your
sisters funeral-to be here?"
Young Grouse drew back, pant

a scornful look. so you're afraid
you'll get your just deserts?"
O'Hara made an impatient
movement, his hand dropping in
voluntarily on the holster of his
pistol. ANSWER me, Creuse," he
d e m n d e d sharply. What

The young man lowered his

glance at the woman from under

he cried bitterly. "And l did; l

"On the contrary, I have my
orders to arrest you, Nicky
Creuse," the sergeant replied
cody. "You're charged with the
murder of Gharian and your sis
ter"
Il, charged with their murder?"
Nicky cried furiously. "Bosh and
claptrap! It's a foul invention of
yours to shield this woman" AS
he spoke he took a step backward,
facing Laure, and his hand went
to his hip.
Instantly O'Hara's pistol was at
his breast. up with your hands!
None Of that" he said sharply.
ooh, you'll find two guns!
Nicky sneered as the sergeant's
free hand searched him quickly
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1947-01-09

O'Hara put the big one in his
pocket, the smaller one he held
in his hand, examining it, then he
looked up at the younger man and
laughed harshly. 'The twenty-five
automatic that did the deed, two
chambers empty! A clumsy piece
of work to get caught with the
goods on you, Creuse."
Nicky drew back scornfully,
measuring his accuser from head
to foot with flashing eyes, his
French blood boiling in rage.
"You're great detective! l
found that gun here when I came
just where she'd hidden it!''
Again his accusing finger was
shaken in Laure's face, but she
said nothing, only her beautiful
eyes fixed on the pistol with hor-
ror in their look.
O'Hara pocketed the weapon.
you'd better be quiet, Grouse.
You're under arrest; l wouldn't
advise you to talk. We can't start
in this storm tonight, Mrs. Char
ian, SO we must trespass upon
your hospitality. Tomorrow, if it
holds up, my Cree will be here
with the dogs. Tonight" He
glanced about him, wondering if
there was any food except the ra-
tions he carried swung across his
shoulders.
She seemed instantly to under
stand the thought in his mind.
''There's food here 'I'll get you
some supper, but there's hardly a
place for you to rest" She hest
tated, eyes still on the young man
who had accused her so furiOusly.
Nicky Grouse had fallen silent.
He was leaning back against the
log wall Of the cabin, with hands
thrust into his empty pockets and
his sullen eyes fixed modify on
the floor.
O'Hara smiled grimly. 'I'm on
duty. Grouse and l will bunk
here. l hope the inner room has
some comfort for you"
A shudder ran through her, she
put her hand to her throat with
a gesture of SuffOcatiOn, and he
saw again that look of Wide-eyed
terror that he had seen first at
French Pete's. Suddenly he real
lied all it must mean to this WO-
man; in that room her husband
had suffered from his wounds, and
the girl, Ninon Grouse, with her
| Cree had nursed him. From this
house the two, Gharian and the
girl, had gone out mysteriously to
meet their tragic end.
O'Hara understood and, for an
instant, thought She swayed. Her
eyes almost closed. Then she
rallied, and lifted her head brave
ly. "Thanks. m'sieur," she said
simply. And now I'll make you
a supper here"

HOLLYWOOD.


Most husbands would hotly resent
the slightest implication that they
were bossed by their wives, but
not Alan Ladd. Paramount's big
sest rnail-getting star is not only
managed by his wife but he likes 1t.
The situation has paid of in heavy
dividends.
Screen Killer Ladd frankly con-
fesses that If Sue Carol, most
prominent of three feminine talent
agents operating among the studios,
hadn't come into his life seven
years ago all might have been diff
ferent. For, without her inquisitive
telephone call to small radio
station back in 1899, he still could
be playing bits in the background
or even shifting scenery-as he
once did-on the Warner Bros lot.
1t was Sue Carol, the onetime,
beautiful. silent-day star and now
q successful 40 per center" who
changed his entire life line. Agent
Carol not only yanked Alan from
obscurity and got him q fine con-
tract that today makes him the
highest-salaried male on the Para
mount roster, but she also married
him in one of the most fantastic
of Hollywood's wfirlwind romances.
To date, the deal has worked like a
charm and everybody's happy-in-
cludiug the Ladd fans, who write
to. him at the rate Of 25,000 pieces
of mail a month.
How Ladd met Agent Carol would
supply first-class screen material;

to be Stunned. Sue Carol was

After the Paramount deal was

Sitting In the living room OF his
little clapboard house In the valley,
Ladd was coldly practical about his
attitude toward roles he Is playing. !.

in whispering Smith," This repre-
sents q minor departure for Mr..
Ladd--in that it's his first movie
In color, his first Western and,
instead OF deliberately ignoring
Brenda Marshalrs charms, he
torches for her in silence because
she plays Robert Preston's wife.
"Of course I have been typed

that he is usually delegated to play

stop to think that stories are typed,
too? AS long as people want to see
that sort of business, they'll keep
on writing and filming it. And I

me. It's swell"
At this moment, the Ladd man
ager-now In the role Of housewife
and mother-came into the room.

FAINT son David to sleep in a back
room of the little house. She hadn't

Before Ladd found hinself-or
rather before Sue Carol maneuvered
him into the big time-three major
studios had every chance in the
world to have him for their own.
They were Warmers, for whom he
toiled as a stagehand: Universal,
which dismissed him after two
weeks trial in its stock school, and
RKO, where he played the brief
death scene that landed him at
Paramount. It's not the least bit
unusual for one studio to pass up
an important bet, but when three
in succession wave off a promising
newcomer, that's something for the
books-even the fantastic Hollywood
books.
Even so, Ladd isn't the boy to run
around saying he owes everything
to my dear wife, my severest
critic" or is Sue the least bit pos
sessive or boastful about the whole
arrangement.
