Hollywood:
Ava Gets First
Starring Role
At Metro
By SheiIoh Grohom

Robert Taylor and Ava Gardner
are the stars for Metro in House
Above the River"-the first starring
role for Ava at her own studio. She
plays very glamorous, modern
siren. Vincente Minnelh directs
with Sam zimbalist producing.
| I bump into Larry Parks and his
wife, Betty Garrett, at her studio
and Larry tells me it is definite that
he will appeal the case he recently
lost at Columbia. Furthermore, he
is not taking cent of the money
due him on either his old or new
contract at Columbia. What are
you living on?" I ask him. Faith,
hope, but not charity" he replies.
Dennis Morgan will probably get
Lauren Bacall as his gal in "Sacra-
mento SAL" for Milton Sperling.
Lauren likes the script so much
that, to make the picture, she is
even not grumbling about giving
up cruise on Humphrey Bogart's
yacht.
Bogey, by the way, is trying to get
Evelyn Keyes as his leading lady
in Knock On Any Door," at CO.
lumbia. He's virtually sure to sue
ceed, as Evelyn is the wife of his
best friend and best director, John
Huston.
William Bendix, who isn't thin,
has to put on lot of weight and
fatten his nose for his movie role
as Babe Ruth. The only thing Bill
doesn't have to do for this picture
is learn how to play baseball. He's
a whiz at the game-he says.
Judy Garland is out as the lead
ing lady in Take Me Out to the
Ball Came" and now Gene Kelly
and Frank Sinatra are looking for
a sweet but strong minded young
actress to take her place. Gene
who wrote the story, received $40,-
900 for the script.
Dinah Shore has lost all that
excess weight and she is now her
lovely, slim self again and able to
wear the new clothes which Hubby
George Montgomery baited her into
dieting.
Lena Horne has just been given
new contract at Metro with a hefty
salary increase. Her first movie on
the new deal-for which she re-
turned here from Europe-is with
Mickey Rooney. Betty Garrett,
Tom Drake and others in Words
and Music"
Bing Crosby's four boys were
working out yesterday with the
Pittsburgh Pirates who are doing
their spring training .here-Pappy
Crosby owns part of the team. The
boys wore regular uniforms and
they play a pretty good game!
Victor Mature will be parted from

his new bride, Dorothy Berry, 70,
two weeks while he does shots fol
'The Law and Martin Rome" In
New York. Dorothy was to have
gone along but she is still recuperat-
ing from recent operation. Victor,
who is selling his house here, told
me before he left that when he
wants to buy new one in Los
Angeles, Boss zanuck will pay for
it! That's the kind of employer
we should all have.
Butch Jenkins was offered the role
of the little boy in "On Borrowed
Time" to be revived on Broadway,
with Charles Coburn as the grand
father. If Butch can do it for Just
a few months, his mother, Doris
Dudley, may accept. But she does
not want him to work for more
than four months year.
I ask Franchot Tone why he
hasn't made a movie recently, and
he tells me that with the British
market what it's been he couldn't
get financial backing, and all the
major studios have been using their
own contract players-if any-in
preference to borrowing free-lanc-
ers. Maybe the new Anglo-Ameri-
can film agreement will change all
that
Pete Lawford and his best pal,
Jackie Cooper, are off to Manhat-
tan for look at the plays and
Then they 60 to
Jamaica for a rest.
Esther Williams gets Jules Mum
shin for comedy sidekick in The
Duchess of Idaho"
Clarence Brown tells me that he
is looking for a movie to make that
will bring people out of the theater
smiling. That's quite an idea. J

There is something we think you
should know, however. This man
you commissioned to capture the
beasts and set them up in house
keeping for us, the fellow who calls
himself the Ant King, sent us a
batch of backward ants. Accord
ing to the Ant King, scientist,
once asked if man or ant were more
intelligent, replied with all the
clear directness of the Delphic
oracle, THAT depends on the man
or the ant"
He should see these ants YOU sent
us. These ant colonies las you

never thought of decorating your
own Office with one of them have
a runway down which the ants are
supposed to crawl to the dirt where
they are supposed to dig tunnels to
be observed digging tunnels. Our
ants have spent their first after
noon filling the runway with dirt
SO they cannot get down below to
dig tunnels.
Either that scientist friend of the
Ant King has a low opinion of
mans intelligence or these ants have
a union. 1t can't be that they are
bashful and do not want to have
their private life in tunnels watched
through glass. They came from
Hollywood. We think the man
palmed off stupid ants on us.

vors segregation of white and

He added, however, that he IA
vored combining these companies to
form larger mixed organizations,
such as battalidns and divisions.
His remark at q news conference
yesterday followed the issuance of
an executive order by President
Truman Monday establishing a
committee on equality Of treat
ment and opportunity" in the
armed services.
The order declared it the policy
Of the President that there shall be
equality Of treatment and oppor-
tunity for all persons In the armed
services without regard to race,
color, religion or national origin.
It stated. further that this policy
shall be put into effect as rapidly
as possible"
(The White House had no
comments today on Gen. Brad
ley's statement on segregation).
Gen. Bradley, here with other
ranking officers for q three-day

program, told his news conference
that it will take so years to house
tine Army properly at the present
rate Of building.

it necessary to furlough a num-

caste system, Gen. Bradley declared: :
"Sure we've got a caste system.

u. 5. and Russia Back
Israel on Seizure
OF 5 British Spies
By the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 2s.- The
United States and Russia stood
firmly behind Israel today in a new
Palestine clash with Britain.
The latest division between the
United States and Britain over the
Holy Land concerned five British
officials of the Jerusalem Electric
Corp. seized July by Irgun Zvai
Leumi and later charged with
espionage.
Britain formally demanded yes
terday that the United Nations Sc
curity Council order the Israeli
government to release the five men.
The United States and Russia con-
tended the men now are awaiting
trial on serious charges and any
Council action would constitute in
reference in Israels internAl
affairs.
Issue Near Vote.
The issue appeared near a vote
when France proposed that Aubrey
S. Eban, Israeli representative here,
message Tel Aviv and see whether
the Israeli government insisted on
holding the Britons in view of the
limited evidence against them.
Mr.. Eban agreed to report to his
government on the discussions and
ask for instructions.
1t was the second time Russia and
the United States had split with
Britain yesterday. In an earlier
fight over a Syrian move to bring
the Palestine question before the
International Court of Justice,
Britain supported Syria, along with
China and four small countries.
The United States, Russia and
France opposed the Syrian proposal.
Debate will be resumed on the
question of the five Britons tomor-
row at II am (EDT. Some quar- |
ters expressed belief the controversy /
might be ironed uot without vote. !

The latest flare-up in the Dutch
Indonesian conflict also is on the
Council calendar for tomorrow.

In the Little Assembly, mean
while, a fight is scheduled to con-
tinue whether the Little Assembly,
known officially as the Interim
Committee of the General Assem-
bly-should recommend continual
tion of its own life for another
year.
The Little Assembly, originally
proposed by Secretary of State Mar
shall, wa svoted for one year only.
The United States and some other
countries are now urging its con-
tinuation for another year, but India
