Ann Sheridan

Ann Sheridan roarS a hearty
"yeS" to the question, "Can a mo-
vie star be glamorouS and 'regu-
lar at the same time?" This is
her answer to minority of Holly
wood believers who maintain that
the film city isn't what is used to
be because the stars of this gen.
Grafton insist upon being just like
the folks next door.
The red-haired actress is now
starring with John Lund and Ho-
ward Duff in Universal Inter
nationals Technicolor "Steel
Town." opening Sunday at the
Monroe Theatre. steel Town." di-
rected by George Sherman and
produced by Leonard Goldstein,

OF a large steel mill in operation
with movie story that packs plen-
ty of thrills and action.
Those people who would have

says Ann.

hamburgers and still have enough
charm to pull them in at the box

There was a time in show bus
mess when stars like Maude Ad-
ans were never seen by the pub

that she travel everywhere in
BACKED out automobile and that
her private life should never be
discussed in the newspapers. Fran

lover of the screen, was the father
of several children at the height
of his career, but his studio bosses
saw fit to keep it a secret.

Miss Sheridan is convinced that
the days of phoney glamor have
disappeared and that the ''good
Joe type" of star who stops on the
street to sign autographs when the
fans call him by his first name
is definitely here to stay.

Shark Battles
With Whales

LAGUNA BEACH, Calf. R-
There was a life and death battle
in the surf off Also Beach, near
here, yesterday, between two 80
foot whales and a 15-foot shark, but
the outcome finally was shrouded
by the deep water of the Pacific.
Two lifeguards who watched the
marine giants fail the surf for
several minutes said the whales
chased the shark onto the sand and
there was a deadly exchange that
left a section of the strand blood
red. Then the battlers plunged into
deep water again and disappeared.

Another Assails Deal.
Mayor George r. Dempster of
Knoxville, Tenn, kept the bonn
parchment against the contract
going at a night session of the
committee.
He said the contract is an
"extravagant and obnoxious
deal" which puts back into the
Tennessee Valley utility monopo-
lists who were voted out of the
valley by the people themselves,
Mr.. Dempster told the commit
tee 1t is the fundamental pur-
pose of the contract that valley
people object to. That purpose,
ne said, is FIRST to cripple iva
and then kill it off with the four
other Dixon-Yates deals" he said
are now authorized by the atomic
energy law.

"prevent national scandal" by
frustrating it.
The Tennessee assault spear
headed by Gov. Clement brought
up a group of Tennessee Valley
municipal and power authority
officials who urged thumbs down
on the Dixon-Yates deal.
Note of Humor.
Floyd S. Nelson, president Of
the Tennessee Rural Electric Co
operative Association, injected a
note of humor into the sometime
grim discussion, when he illus.
trated an account Of the diff
culties of getting private power
into rural areas. He repeated a
story he said came from a min
lister.
According to the story, the
minister and some associates
who wanted rural power sought
to get a power company official
interested.
A The officials answer was brief
and to the point:
IF the farmer will go to bed
when it gets dark, and get up
when 1t gets light, he won't need
any electric service"
That attitude was typical be-
fore the IVA brought in public
power, according to the witness.
High Costs Mentioned.
Gov. Clement, who threatened
to put "the resources of Tennes-'
see behind any legitimate court
action directed at Dixon-Yates,"
If necessary, hit at the high
construction costs, the high f.
nancing costs, the holding COM
pany superstfucture costs and
the compromising taxes" in the
project.
The ultimate consumer, who
would absorb these, he declared,
"are the Amounted sacrificial
goats of this Greek hecatomb to
the gods of monopolistic ex-
ploitation."
He said that the private utili-
ties have been flooding this
whole country with a vast sea
Of costly propaganda" aimed at

ing it as socialism, and then

better try to straighten out his
own attitude on the whole prob
lem.
It was represented to him,
Gen. Eisenhower went on, that
there was going to be an acute
shortage in the iva area by
1857.
He recalled that the iva not
only had built dams for hydro
electric power, but as electricity
demands grew, had built steam
plants to expand its production.
The question arose, he said.
of how long this building Of
steam power plants goes on at
Government expense in that
area without the Government
doing the same thing every
where in the country.
He was confronted with the
problem Of meeting the power
needs Of the area without put
ting the Government in the po-
sition of providing more and
more steam plants in perpe-
tuity, he added.
The President said the idea
then came of the Acc getting
power without having the IVA
build another plant now, so as
to give time to take a look at
the whole issue.
He emphasized that there is
nothing in the Dixon Yates
contract to raise by a single
cent the amounts iva charges
it's customers for electricity.
Keeps Eye on Cheap Power.
He frequently gets arguments
from people from other sections
of the country, the President
said, urging him not to keep
giving the Tennessee Valley
cheap power and attracting in
dustries from other regions.
He said he was not sure what
there is to that argument. He
said he has put a man in there
to get the facts. He referred to
his appointment of Brig. Gen.
Herbert D. Vogel, as chairman
of the iva board of directors.
When iva advocates urge on
him expansion of iva power
facilities, Gen. Eisenhower said
he asks them if they would have
him do the same thing for the
Upper Mississippi Valley and |
they say that is out of the ques-
ton. But it isn't outside the
question for him, he emphasized,
because he believes all the United
States must be treated fairly.
The President said he does not
believe that any section of this
country has to be completely de-
pendent on the Federal Govern
ment-unless it is the District
Of Columbia, he added as an af-
terthOuqht

President Says He Must Stick
With Contract as Best in Siiqht

President Eisenhower said to
day he has to stick to his sup
port of the Dixon Yates contract
until some better way OF provid-
ing power needed by the Atomic
Energy Commission is offered
him.
He told a news conference that
he has not changed his mind
about supporting the controver-
sial contract for the simple rea-
son that no better contract has
been offered him.
Against Further Expansion.
Gen. Eisenhower made it clear
that he is against further ex-
pansion of the Tennessee Valley
Authority's own power produc-
ton from steam plants, for the
time being at least.
He said something had to be
done to prevent what he called
a lopsided situation that would
result if the Government kept on
expanding IVA without doing
something of the same kind for
the rest of the country.
The Dixon-Yates contract
originated, he explained, as a
means of getting power needed
by the Acc in the iva area
without further immediate ex-
pansion Of iva itself so as to
give time for a good look at the
whole question of Government
power policy in that region.
Under the controversial pro-
posed contract, the Acc would
contract with the Dixon-Yates
group for building a $107.250. 900
steam power plant at West
Memphis, Ark, to feed power into
the iva system as a replace
ment for additional IVA power
supplied the Acc.
Favors Nom Political Groups.
The controversial issue came
up in the Presidents news con-
ference when a reoprter reminded
him that Thomas E. Murray, a
member of the Atomic Energy
Commission, had testified in
Capitol Hill hearings that the
Aces top men were being di-
verified from their primary mis-
sion by the controversy. The
reporter asked if the President
thought the Acc should be
non-political body.
Gen. Eisenhower said that of
course he thought any big bust
ness organization working for the
Government should be non
political.
If there is any politics in the
Dixon Yates controversy, he
added, it is not of his choosing.
Then he said he possibly had

A bachelor. Mr.. Hoover's name
never has been linked roman
tically with any of the women
he is seen with occasionally at
night clubs and social events.
A close friend says: John never

have the time for anything but
the FBI-and not having the
time, he never found the right
girl. He's often on the move
night and day and he works all
hours. He never thought it was
fair to ask a girl to share this
kind of life"

In Washington, Mr.. Hoover
could cut a wide swath in the
social world if he chose-but he
rarely accepts invitations. His
name has never been touched by
personal scandal, although he
is by no means a recluse.
Mr. Hoover turns up at the
ringside of big fights. He's an

goer. He likes to see the horses

Likes Practical Joke.
The former proprietor of Har-
vey's. the late Julius Lulley, was
an old friend of Mr.. Hoover's-
and the FBI chief used to turn
some Of his practical Jokes
against Mr.. Lulley.
Once Mr.. Hoover sent Mr..
Lulley a letter, purporting to be
from a renowned New York
chef, accusing Mr.. Lulley Of
stealing a recipe.
| Mr.. Lulley brooded over the
letter for several days then
showed it to Mr.. Hoover who
clucked his disapproval. Mr..
Lulley exploded: why I
wouldn't steal a recipe from that
bum. Actually, I stole it from
a chef in New Orleans"
Mr. Hoover's friends tell of the
time in 1899 when he flew to
Minnesota in a hunt for the
body of Charles S. Ross, a kid
nap victim. and for the kidnap-
er'S hideout. Winter SHOWS were
on the ground and Mr.. Hoover,

in a small store to buy warm

Weeded Out Hacks.
Before Mr.. Hoover took over
the FBI was an inept, politics
ridden agency tainted by past
Government scandals. There was
no requirement-aS there Is to-
day-that FBI agents must be
lawyers or accountants with 9
background of good moral char
acter. They got their jobs by
political pull. They had no au-
thority to carry weapons (that
authority was not given until
1934). There was no fingerprint
files, no crime detection labora-
tory, no training program-an6
no prestige.

This compared with SLOT bill
