woven around a phone conversation
which Miss Stanwyck overhears
after getting in on a crossed wire.
Dramatically enough, she listens to
her own murder being schemed.
For six weeks Miss Stanwyck

Lilli Arrived as Wife, Now Is Star
Miss Palmer Has Contract Though Permitting Her to Leave
Hollywood When Rex Harrison Does
By sheiIoh 6rohom
HOLLYWOOD.

Lilli Palmer, wife of Rex Harrison,
says she plans to have baby every
five years. Her SON Cary Is 4 years
old now.
I learn the above information
during lunch with Mrs. Palmer,
winsome, big-eyed gal, who is about
to start her fourth American movie,
mo Minor Vices" with Dana An
drews.,.
The going is a little dificult for
me because. all during the lunch,
Liln Is blowing kisses to Charlie
Macarthur, the playwright. One
time, when I pose rather potent
question, Lill dashes OF saying,
Excuse me, the man I love best in
all the world has just come in"
She means Gary Cooper, with whom
she starred in CLOAK and Dagger"
I have to forgive her for that one
because Gary is the man happen
to love, too.
Hate Patronizing.
When she comes back I get the
latest dope from Lilli about condi-
tions in England. where she recently
spent five months. She doesn't
want to cross swords with Loretta
Young, but Lilli agrees with the
British press that Loretta was mis-
informed about what goes on in
Britain today.
I'm sure Loretta meant we'll"
says Lilli, "but she was completely
wrong. No one goes hungry and no
one faints. The food is sufficient,
but dull, and no one except Rex
grew beard because OF a sup
posed razor blade shortage). Rex
grew his beard for his picture. The
British hate others to be patroniz-
ing to them" Lilli explains. That's
why they went to town on Miss
Young"
Miss Palmer's present zooming to
the top in Hollywood is very inter-
esting. She didn't come here to
work in pictures but merely as the
wife of Mr.. Harrison, who was
signed to a long-term contract at
Goth Century-Fox.
Z. There's No Discord.
Fritz Lang saw a British picture
she had made and grabbed her for
Cloak and Dagger" Then Lilli
signed with Milton Sperling on
condition that when Rex leaves
Hollywood for any reason, Lilli goes
with him-no matter If she is in
the middle Of making a movie.
Some time ago heard and printed
that Rex was peeved about Lilli hav-
ing Hollywood career of her own.
But Lilli swears 1t wasn't, and isn't
so. And she also denies a recent
New York column item that there is
current trouble with her marriage.
There Is no question that Lilli is
very much in love with Rex, and
that's easy to understand. He's quite
a fascinating character.
I'D like to make picture with
Rex" she tells me, "but that doesn't
seem possible in Hollywood. Maybe
we will in England one OF these
days" I ask her how they were re-
ceived by the British when they
went back because I had read some
criticism of Rex in the London
newspapers, when he left there to
come to Hollywood for Anna and
the King of SIAM"
She Likes Skiing.
"They were all right-once we ex-
planned that Rex had clause in his
contract here that he could go back
to England for six months every
year to make pictures there" says
Lilli. I'VE are both going back this
summer unless Rex has to star in

finishes 'Unfaithfully Yours with

contends.
The project stems from the cou-
pies conviction that wars are start
ed at the top but, can be prevented
at the bottom, If all men and women
will rid themselves Of distrust and
suspicion of that which is foreign.
Lavorel and his wife make no apol-
ogy for this highly idealistic aim.
Miss Carroll said she conceived
the idea In France, after the war.
Lavorel and Miss Carroll plan to
make films all over Europe and
Asia in the coming years. Lavorel,
an official of the United Nations,
directs the pictures and Miss Carroll
will appear in some of them.

 By voice vote, 1t turned down a proposal by Rep. Multer fD-NY) to eliminate the Mundt-Nixon Bills definition of Communist front organization"
 Multer argued the definition was so broad it could be interpreted to mean the Wallace third party.
 His claim was disputed by Rep. Nixon (R-Calif). co-author of the bill. Nixon insisted that the word ing was purposely phrased to ex- clude political parties.
 The House pushed toward pas- sage of the bill late today in the face of storm warnings raised by Chairman Taft of the Senate Re- publican policy committee.
