The
.Southernmost
Corner
By CHARLES DuERKEs


Wipes, there's skullduggery
afoot egain! No sooner does the
Derby and primary election ex-
element die down and give us a
chance to take breath when up
pops such business as the pota-
to scandal and another hike in
the price of newsprint.
Both hit Mr.. and Mrs. Aver
age Citizen squareiy in the tum-
my. There appears to be some
thing decidedly over-ripe in re-
gions far removed from Den
mark, and it amt potatoes.
A fellow has a devilish time
today attempting to add new
twist to the old show biz line.
"All that meat and no potatoes!"
What meat?" you may ask, and
well you may. Soon you might
further query, What potatoes?"
and when you dash to the near
est news stand you may find that
the paper has been upped to
dime, and in some sections of
the lard you might find no
newspaper.
Canada has announced another
ten dollar per ton hike in the
price of the newsprint she sells
to this country, the second such
boost in less than a year. A
mere fifty billion, if you stop to
figure it out. This weird Cana
dian Caper will put some news
papers in the red and can drive
others to the wall. Nine-tenths Of
the newsprirt used in this cum
try comes f. ON Canada. News
paper publishers, who have new
er appealed to the federal gov
eminent for assistance, may have
to do so now, and that will not
be healthy for the newspaper
business.
Just as potatoes form an i'm
portant part of the great Ameri-
can diet, so newsprint is essen
tial to the appetite of the great
machinery that gives us great,
free and progressive press.
1t seems shame that a power
full, wealthy nation such as ours
can't produce enough newsprint
of our own in order to avoid
foreign monopoly of the most ex-
pensive item in the publishing
business.
It is the result Of complicated
and short sighted trade agree
ments, and if that seems silly go
take take a look at the potato
patches. Many farmers are let
ting the potatoes rot. not in
Denmark, but in the potato
patches. Right here in Florida.
But the retail price of potatoes
is way up and the only way to
bust up the lopsided deal is for
housewives to stop buying pota-
toes for a spell.
My huckster tells me that
Florida grown potatoes cost him
as much as spudS shipped in
from Idaho and Maine, but that
Florida farmers can't get fair
price from the lads who control
the market.
1t may seem a far cry from
potatoes to newsprint, unless we
can figure out way of making
newsprint from potato peelings,
but it all adds up to the same
gloomy blur.
We are the victims of prodi-
gious waste and mismanagement.
Canada, with a balanced bud
get, a staggering surplus in her
treasury and with her firm econ
omy in no danger, has the whip
hand. She may be trying to get
even for a potato deal in which
she got a bit of a bilking about
three years ago.
I find il hard 70 place all the
blame on Canada in the news
print situation. The blame lies
in Washington, and there may be
a bit more than meets the eye
behind the entire picture.
One might successfully abstain
from spuds for a while. to force
the prices down, but man can't

NOTES
BY BOB THOMAS


of ending his acting career.
Recently the story was tagged
onto Mrs. Powell. known to the
movle-going set as June Allyson.
She was reported as being ready
TO chuck her movie career in favor
of another one at home with her
two children.
II don't know how that story got
started" said Powell. June has
never said that she would quit
making pictures. But I'm sure of
one thing she's through making
bad pictures.
Il can't understand this studio
(MGM). Here they have the out
standing female attraction on the
screen today: the polls have proved
that. And yet they have no pic
lures for her. In the recent an
nouncement of future product,
there wasn't one picture named
for her. The pictures she has done
lately have not been outstanding.
June has gotten to the point
where she doesn't care. She has
year to 60 on her contract. But
Pm sure she would just as soon
spend it at home - unless some
thing great comes along"
Powell indicated that he would

remarks seriously, since actors
are always planning to get out of
the racket. but never do. Those
who make the move. like Fred
Astaire, change their minds later.
But Powell seemed serious about
his intention.

the actor, whose youthful appear
ance bellies the years. II was five
years in the East and 20 out here.
That's long enough to be an actor. /"
He admitted that getting out of
the acting business is tough as

how long that took me-" he said.
but l won't really be getting out
of the business, just into another
field. want to be a director.
Powell nearly achieved his am
bition recently. He had a friend,
Writer Bill Bowers, whip up a
screen story and they sold it to
Paramount, along with Powell'S
services as director. But when the
script got no action at Paramount,
they arranged for RKO to buy it.
Then the deal hit a snag. Jean
Simmons was cast into the pic
ture, and her contract apparently
called for director approval. Pow.
ell was aced out of the directors
spot. But RKO has promised to
let him direct another one.
They've already sent me three
scripts, but | turned them down."
he remarked. Il want my first
fling at direction to be good. If
/ finally do it, and if the picture
is hit, ! think that will be the
end of acting for me-"
Meanwhile, Powell's acting ca
reer shows no signs of slowing. He
is currently appearing with Lana
Turner. Kirk Douglas, Walter Pid-
geon and Gloria Grahame in "Tri-
butte to a Bad Man" Powell is also
wound up in television.
He and a partner are preparing
a TV film series which will star
Powell and three other big-name
players on alternate weeks.
