The circus impressed him, but no more
than he did the circus. Biggest attraction
ever to hit this outfit" remarked Art Con-
cello, of the famed Flying Comedies. Others
referred to DeMille as the Fourth Ring.
Travelling with DeMille were his secre-
tary and his 14-year-old granddaughter,
red-headed, freckle-faced Cecilia DeMille
Calvin, who may have small part in the
picture.
Lots Of Ideas
He HAS no story for the production as yet
but is teeming with ideas. His secretary
was busy jotting down notes from midday
to midnight.
Mr.. DeNille has been criticized for fanci-
flying Biblical and ancient history in some
spectaculars - Sign of the Cross" King
of Kings" Ten Commandments. His cir
Gus notes indicate that he is approach
ing ''The Greatest Show on Earth" with
more realism, though with hardly less
reverence, than he did the Bible.
Prowling outside the big tent while the
performance was going on, DeMille came
across young mother, in her spangled COS
tune, giving her two-year-old baby bath
in one of the circus wash-pails. He looked
at his secretary. Little girl in bucket" she
jotted down. Other of her notations read:

This Changing World =
Army Sits Prague Death of Col. Michela,
Noted American Intelligence Officer

reached the garrison border town
OF Kars. where the Soviets handed
1t over TO the Turks.
The courier's body then was
taken TO Istanbul. where detach-
ments Of the army. navy and air
force as well as high representa-
tives Of the government attended
funeral services while mufned
drums throbbed as IL for some
high dignitary Of the republic. The
courier was only q captain Of In
fantry.
In this manner the Turks indi-
Gated TO Moscow, without sending
diplomatic notes, that they doubt
ed the suicide story. particularly
since the MvD (Soyiet secret
police) believed this young oficer
belonged to the Turkish intelli-
gence service and had obtained In
Moscow information which he
carried in his mind rather than
on paper. Mere robbery could not
have prevented that information
from reaching Turkish authori-
ties.
Technique Of Their Own.
The Turks developed a tech
nique Of their own In retaliatine
for Soviet pilferage Of couriers'
diplomatic pouches. Thus. in
1928 during the Turkish Russian
honeymoon. a Turkish diplomatic
courier travelling from Novoros-
sisk. q Soviet port on the Black
Sea. to Moscow lost" his pouches
while he was asleep in q locked
compartment of q train.
The Turkish government pro-
tested and was informed by the
Kremlin that the incident was
unfortunate. indeed. but that IL
could not be helped since order
had not been completely restored
and thieves were still to be found
on the trains.
A few weeks later q Soviet
diplomatic courier left Ankara for
Trebizon on his way to his home
land. On the way he was attacked
by "brigands." who did not con-
fine themselves to taking his
pouches, but also stole his cloth
ing.
When the Soviet Ambassador In
Ankara protested to Reouf Bey.
then Turkish Foreign Minister.
about the outrage, Reouf. who In
fact had engineered the incident,
answered that Turkey was just
emerging from a great revolution
Just like the USSR-and not
all the roads were safe yet. Even
tually the courier's clothing was
returned. but the diplomatic bags
never did turn up. Moscow took
the hint.

were disappointed when the Sen
ator took the post as chairman
Of the Joint Congressional Atomic
Energy Committee in the S0th Re-
publican Congress, which seemed
to have nothing to do with their
problems, and that Is cited here
among factors contributing to q
drop In the Senator's popularity,
That may explain why he got q
place ON the Senate Agriculture
Committee in the present Demo-
cratic Congress.
The Senator's friends privately
are frankly disturbed about his
crusade against Mr.. Lilienthal be-
cause Of the criticism heaped upon
him for his showing thus far on
his charge of incredible misman-
agement" In q Government agency
so important to the Nation. If
he establishes O case-and some
of his friends insist he will
he might help himself politically
to an extent. But If he flops
it certainly will hurt him politi-
cally.
It is common knowledge that
the private utilities have been
fighting Mr.. Lilienthal for years
because Of his successful direction
of the great public power project
embraced In iva. It is common
knowledge that they fought his
confirmation as Acc chairman
though from behind the scenes
and not publicly-because Of the
ultimate power potential in atomic
energy, and that they are quietly
encouraging the present campaign
against him.
The utilities In this State are
like those elsewhere, bitterly op-
posed to Mr.. Lilienthal. Some OF
their key figures are friends and
political advisers Of Senator Hick-
enlooper, including Sutherland G
Dows, president Of Iowa Electric
Light 81 Power Co.. and Harold
u. Rowe. advertising man with
utility clients. both Of whom live
here in the Senator's hometown

may be remembered that. while

Incident Week Earlier.
Suspicious that Col. Nicholas
death might not have been due to
natural causes are said to have
been raised by the fact that only
a week earlier a Turkish military
courier, carrying embassy dis
patches from Moscow to Ankara.
was found shot to death in his
compartment on a train in Rus
sian territory.
Soviet government investigators
asserted that the Turkish courier
committed suicide because "he had
become respondent. When the
body was returned to Turkish au-
thorities the gun which the courier
carried with him was not handed
over.

Hoover himself has stressed that

Contributing Factors.
The situation cannot be blamed
ON Mr.. Hoover. against whom no
shadow of suspicion ever has been
raised, nor on the Justice Depart

Gus factors which have put the
FBI and the director on q pedestal
