Most interesting case of at
tempted break-away from the
films is that of Olivia de Havil-
land. It began with the tenta-
tive idea Of several New York pro-
ducers that Miss De Havilland
would make the most profitable
Juliet in decades. It ended, or
at least grew remote. when Miss
De Havilland's asking price turned
out to be higher than even Ger
trude Lawrence's famous scale.
1t is now down to the prospect
that If the romantic tragedy is
done, Miss De Havilland will have
to be her own producer.
Liveliest trade, so to speak, be-
tween Hollywood and Broadway

Mr.. Dilworth Is the crusading
ex-Marine who pried up. the
floor boards on the noisome
Philadelphia scandals. He lost his
first campaign which was for
mayor, but as the truth of his
allegations became all too evi-
dent, he coasted in as city treas
urer in the next local election.
Shows Campaigning Gifts.
A prosperous lawyer from the
right side of the tracks, Mr.. Dill
worth has displayed campaigning
gifts too often denied the we'll
meaning amateur. Up to now,
however. he has been overshadowed
by the two COP elder statesmen
who are at each others throats,
Gov. Jim Duff. a towering red
head, and Uncle Joe Grundy OF
high tariff fame.
Mr.. Grundy claims he elected
Gov. Duff and that Gov. Duff
with monstrous ingratitude has
not kept his promise to exempt
Pennsylvania manufacturers from
the capital stock tax as they were
in the good old pre-depression
days. Gov. Duff. who owes Mr.,
Grundy a score for pulling the
rug from under him at the Re-
publican National Convention

when Grundy delegates bolted to
Gov. Dewey, is roaring back his
own accusations.
Gov. Duff now wants to go to
the Senate in Myers place and
has his own candidate for Cover
nor, Judge John Fine. Mr.. Grundy
is trying to send the rather color
less Representative John Kunkel
to the Senate and has been pre-
tending that he doesn't quite catch
the name of the rival candidate
for Governor, Jay Cooke, Harold
Stassen's former campaign man
ager. This is said to be all right
with Mr.. Cooke but does not de-
ceive anybody about the strong
basis for Cookies campaign.
Until the primaries Senator
Myers and Dilworth are not dis
posed to complain about the at
tention accorded the COP feud-
ing. They are happily collecting
press clippings about it. especially
those juicy personalities that en-
liven political speechmaking.
Truman Got Into Act.
President Truman got into the
act recently by claiming Governor
Duff, a former Bull Mooser, as a
Democrat. Democrats who still
think it will be Gov. Duff they
have to beat don't mind. Their
story is that Gov. Earl Warren
never lived it down in 1948 that
Mr.. Truman said he was a Demo-
crat at heart.
President Stassen Of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania also has
a stake in the outcome of current
picturesque confusion. Should his
friend Mr.. Cooke become Cover
nor, Mr.. Stassen may be able to
launch a new try at the Presidency
from a Pennsylvania springboard
Incidentally. Mr.. Stassen, like
that other college president, Cen
eral Eisenhower. is finding the ivy
league a little restless over being
pulled into politics. The students
especially at Columbia and Penn
sylvanaia, have front-paged theil
firm conviction that they by right
have first claim upon prexy's
attention.

On the Other Hand
What It's Like to Be President
Seems to Depend on Point of View

1--WE vest the executive power
OF the Government in the Presi-
dent. We expect him to do many
things for us. We are disappointed
and grieved when he fails to do
the things we expect at the time
and in the manner we desire. We
expect him to right the things
that are wrong and to champion
the cause to which we are de-
voted. If he fails us we will con-
denim him without mercy, though
We know that in most matters he
cannot please everyone and must
engender opposition and make
enemies. ..s ~ p.
I'VE continue to exercise over
him many types of control, init
mate, detailed and rigorous: some
OF them inherent in our Consti-
tuition, some of them established
by law, and many more set up by
tradition and custom and en-
forced by public opinion"
Build Barriers in Way"
1--WE vest the executive power
in President and then We ham
per him by withholding from him
authority commensurate with
that responsibility. We expect him
to lead us and we put stumbling
blocks and build barriers across
the way. We expect him to obey
us and we deprive him of the
power to do so.
"Of such elements are COM
pounded many of the failures
which we charge to our Presi-
dents. Out Of such little lacks on
our part are compounded the
great lacks of the President. We
crush him beneath the burdens
of our requirements and refuse
him the help he needs to carry
them. For every variance from
the course we demand, we de-
nounce him.
IF he fails to act we call him
a weakling. If he does act we call
him a dictator.
I'VE esteem him as the Chief
Of State and we despise him as
a time serving politician. We ask
him to dignity our celebrations
by his presence, and we whisper
vile ISLANDERS about him and i'm
pute to him both malevolence and
corruption"
That's how it is, according to
Mr.. BroWnlow, but the Congress
man probably thinks it is no
more than a President deserves.

going yacht, a fleet of automo-
biles, an airplane with sleeping ac-
commodations and large staff of
people to do all his work, the
Congressman figured that the
President really is being paid at
the rate of a million dollars, Or
maybe it is two million dollars, a
year. He made it sound like nice
work for anybody that can get it.
The Congressman did not at
tempt to tell what the President
does in return for this high pay
and lush living. But it happens
that there has just come from the
press an excellent book on that
very subject. 1t Is called '"The
President and the Presidency"
Writes With Authority.
The author is Louis Brownlow
nationally known expert in the
field of public administration. Mr..
Brownlow writes with the author
ity not only of one who has given
the subject great deal of study,
but as one who has known per-
sonally. eight American Presidents.
That's one-quarter of all the
Presidents we have had since the
founding of the republic.
So. in case you should be tempt
ed by the Congressman's rosy
picture to start right out running
for President. it will pay you first
to read Mr.. Brownlow's book and
obtain some idea of what you are
letting yourself IN for. In a chap

secret savings account to which
I have faithfully added dime a

way to spend my hoard than to
bring the first title into the Nc
Lemore family. Up until the time
read the Counts offer I had
planned to use the money as a
down payment on a producing oil
we'll which would provide for Jean
and me in our old age.
But Jean is just as crazy about
the thought of being a countess
as I am about being count. and
even forked over the money for
air mail special delivery stamps.
She has already started sewing
trains on all her dresses and
stoutly refuses to let me eat din
ner in my shirt sleeves any more.
AS for myself, I haven't been
idle. I have already painted

name is to put that on. too. For,
of course, once he adopts me I'll
have to take his name, and we're
hoping it will be a fancy one.
something like Count de Eiffel
Tower, or Count de Folies Ber-

it turns out that he is named
Count Joe Smith or Count Spike

After that I'll be stumped and
will have to turn to my handy

he stands back and gazes fondly
on his newly adopted son. Already
I can hear him exclaim in ex-
quisite French:
Land sake, what a lucky old
count I am to get this handsome
broth of a boy to carry on my
illustrious name" .-..
Then We'll toast our new asso-
citation in his champagne and
then call in some celebrated
French shyster to draw up the
papers. After that I'll empty my
mason jar in his lap and propose
a brisk. 2o-mile hike with full field
pack and rifle. You see, won't
get the title until the old count
is done for, so I must start wear

The more think about it, the
more I can't wait to become a

add to our house for Jean to be
able to tell visitors that the count
is out on his newspaper route but
will be back in a few hours.

Allied observers which astonishes.
Weeks ago this column warned
that the Saar proposals would
shake the whole West European
structure. This has now hap
pened. Relations between West
ern Germany and Europe are at
the lowest point since the war.
This deterioration comes in a
critical moment. Unemployment
in Western Germany has reached
2 million-and this figure does
not include the large number of
the partly employed. Popular dis
content is rising, the continued
dismantling Of industries furnish
ing an additional focus of discon-
tent, especially among workers.
Crisis Aids Communists.
The Communists are taking
advantage of the triple crisis:
Saar, dismantling, unemployment.
The currency reform produced q
boom, as it brought to q famished
market long -hoarded goods and
opened employment. But the eco
nomic structure is basically under
mined by the vast augmentation
to the population of penniless ex-
pellees from that part of Germany
annexed by Poland and from the
satellite states. These number
8 million, including a dispropor-
tionate number Of women, chill
dren and aged who must be sus-
tanned by the labor Of others.
Among displaced workers un-
employment is far higher than In
the indigenous population. Now.
In this threefold crisis, Communist
Poland has decided to expel those
Germans who survived the earlier
purges. This will add another 200.-
900 to 100000 unemployed, and
further complicate the disastrous
housing situation.
Although the Allies are protest.
ing In Warsaw and have said they
won't take more than $4,000, it
Is impossible to throw them back,
or to refuse Germans asylum in
their own country.
The Franco-Saar agreement can
be understood from the viewpoint
Of the Saarlanders. who, under It,
are much more prosperous than
other Germans. But the reper-
cussions in Germany are newt
able. The Saar becomes, for SO
