UNITS OF FRENCH FLEET SMD SAILING TO AFRICA LONDON, Jan. (fl5). Well-informed London circki reiterated today that certain units of the French fleet hid left parts in France for Casablanca tad Qatar in Africa, despite continued official statements that the British government had no knowledge of Kca movements," Thase Informants pointed out that Rich movements probably were well known to the Germans, since any shift of French warships without nazi per-Hission would break terms of the freach-German. armistice. Furthermore, the German armistice commission, at Wlesbanden, has agents at every French port.

(Travelers arriving in Lisbon, Por- toga, from unoccupied France last Saturday said they had been reliably informed that Chief of State Philippe Petain had authorized a number of French naval officers to ipend "vacations" in north Africa and that several French warships already had sailed there from Toulon.)

Destruction of the big British liner Rangitane by a German raider, which stole alongside an hour before dawn and fired without warning was described today by survivors of the disaster. They were among 496 survivors of seven ships, who were rescued by Australian ships after being marooned Dec.

21 on the Island of Emirau, near New Guiana, by the sea raider and a nazi supply ship on which they had been imprisoned when their ships were sunk. The Rangitane's quartermaster, L. Valerie, said he was at the wheel on the- morning of Nov. 26, when he noticed the black shape of another vessel nearby. At once the stranger opened fire, he said.

The first shot crashed through the steering gear and threw the Rangitane out of control. Other shells screamed into the vessel rapidly, he said, killing six stewardesses in their rooms. "Ship's Surgeon Crawford," Valerie continued, "gave first aid and the stewards gathered the dead and injured in blankets. There was no time to get Valerie and other survivors said the shelling continued even as they were trying to reach the boats. Two brothers named Stickfuss, from the engine room, were mortally wounded.

A Mrs. Langan, sitting beside her 10-year-old son, Jimmie, who had part of his leg blown away by a shell, said: "I half -carried Jimmie and his brother, Brian, to a lifeboat." As I did so realized that Jimmie was hit, but he never whimpered. "To think we were only three miles from home in Nauru when it all hap pened." (Nauru is a British island shelled by a German raider Dec. 27.) Fifteen women asserted they had spent nearly two months as captives in intervention of a fast Italian column, with cannon and machine guns, parried the threat. After four hour of sharp fighting, he added, the British were thrown back.

On the following day, the correspondent reported, the British attacked about Garet Barud, four miles north of Giarabub, but an Italian garrison, with the aid of bombers, again broke the thrust, inflicting "notable losses."

After seventeen days of siege there still was no indication of any immediate British attemDt to wrest Bardia from its 20,000 beleaguered defenders. Instead, indications pointed to a likely thrust against Tobruk, where Italian forces have been busily strengthening their defenses. Just what the British will do probably will be governed by the weather for the next thirty days a period in which there usually are torrential rains, sandstorms and freezing nights.

British mechanized forces were reported operating seventy-five miles beyond the Egyptian border in Libya today in a possible prelude to an attack on the big Italian base at Tubruk even before the anticipated fall of besieged Bardia. With these forces declared to be firmly holding a stretch of the road leading from Bardia to Tobruk, eighty miles west of the Egyptian border, the R. A.

F. lashed out anew last night against Bardia, on the Mediterranean coast, and other fascist objectives deep in the Libyan desert. Besides Bardia, the R. A. objectives included Derna, 175 miles METEOR PUZZLING TO ASTRONOMERS Cunningham Comet Refuses to Develop, as Had Been Anticipated CAMBRIDGE, Jan.

2 IP). The antics of the Cunningham comet or better, perhaps, the lack of them have Harvard astronomers "mystified," Dr. Fletcher G. Watson said tonight. Billed at one time as the first comet worth crowing about since Halley's in 1920, the newcomer, said Watson, "is not behaving the way we had anticipated," and is rapidly disappearing from naked-eye view without having put on any kind of a real show.

Instead of developing a tall some 50,000,000 miles in length as had been anticipated, the comet's streamer is only 10,000,000 miles long and has been Just like that for about a week. There have been other comets since 1910 that have been of "comparable brightness," Watson said. It still has a chance to perk up, become brighter and develop something more than a comparative bobtail, because its maximum brightness, as far as astronomers are concerned, will come on Jan. 16, when it is closest to the sun. But, at that time, it will not be visible in this part of the world.

"We don't know the reason for these idiosyncracies that the comet has developed," said the astronomer, "but it has been said all along that comets are unpredictable in many of their reactions. The performance has been somewhat disappointing, but it may be important if we can determine any clues as to the change that has occurred." cently signed a contract with Darryl Zanuck. She probably will have a fat part in "Sun Valley," which stars Sonja Henie. By the way, the addition of yet another blonde at this studio will make the other yellow-heads happy. They are all of the same type, too Alice Faye, Mary Beth Hughes and Betty Grable.

A blonde's best friend is Zanuck apparently. George Brent managed to get three days' rest before reporting for Columbia's "They Dare Not Love." But maybe he doesn't feel so disgruntled now that he has Martha Scott for his leading gal. When this picture is "canned" George will be delighted to hear that he returns to Warners immediately for another picture, "On Trumpet Island," this time with Geraldine Fitzgerald. The latter story concerns a rich man (Brent) who buys an island off Maine. A plane crashes on it, the pilot dies, a beautiful girl Geraldine Fitzgerald loses her memory.

And marries the rich man. Now it's Gloria Jean. Directly a moppet actor or actress makes good on the screen, a lawsuit follows auto-1 matically. An agent is merely claim ing $525,000 from Gloria or rather her legal guardians. He says he discovered her.

This is one type of lawsuit the only one that Freddie Bar tholomew was not called upon to de fend. He had everything else. Shirley Temple had to go through it. And recently Susanna Foster. It's too bad when it happens to a kid who is not yet wealthy enough to afford costly lawsuits.

Every six months or so "The Desert Song" pops up in production conversation at Warners. It is up again, and Warners say cut their throats If they tell a lie and Dennis Morgan really will be starred in it just as soon as he gets "She Stayed Kissed" and Affectionately Yours" out of the way. Well, IH try to believe it this time The quintuplets are no longer listed as movie actresses unless the fox studio does something about its contract with the five cute ladies of Ontario. The contract is due to lapse next month. I'd like them in a movie now, wouldn't you? Released by North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.

By d'Alessio shooting paper waJs, I'm afraid to leave the i Alex Gamble, contractor and former supervisor of the county-sponsored WPA project for the development of the Soddy Marine park, filed suit against Hamilton county in circuit court yesterday to recover disability compensation as provided in the county employes' pension act, for injuries which he received in an automobile accident last March. Gamble's petition averred that he was entitled to $16 a week for a period of 400 weeks, plus $200 for medical services and hospital expenses. The entire amount of Gamble's claim Is $6,600. Gamble's car collided with a WPA truck near the Soddy park last March, and Gamble was seriously" Injured. The petition averred that "Gamble's left hand and arm were crushed in the accident, and that it was necessary for the doctors to remove the elbow joint and a part of the bone In his left arm, rendering his arm permanently disabled.

Provisions of Pension Act A section of the county employes pension act provides that in the event a county employe Is totally or partially disabled while he is engaged in county business, he is entitled to recover compensation under the same schedule and for the same period of time as provided for employes in private industry under the workmen's compensation act. The petition stated that Gamble was engaged in the business of the county at the time the accident occurred. The petition was filed by Fletcher R. Morgan, attorney for Gamble. Squire C.

E. Camp, county Judge pro said that Gamble had made application to the county for compensation in accordance with this provision of the county employes' pension act, but said that he refused to grant the application without a court ruling on the case, since there was some question as to whether Gamble was an employe of the county within the meaning of the act. Squire Camp also said that the county judge is a member of the park commission which employed Gamble, and that for this reason he did not want to pass on the application. Gamble was employed by the county park commission a year and a half or two years ago, when the county agreed to sponsor a WPA project to develop the Soddy Marine park. The WPA usually requires the sponsor to furnish the materials and pay the salary of a supervisor on projects, and Gamble was employed as supervisor for the duration of the project, at a salary of $175 per month.

The first project for the development of the park was completed two or three months ago. A second project is being planned, but has not yet been approved by all the necessary agencies. Gamble's employment by the county ended with the completion of the first project In JoiiuwooA a BY SHEILAH GRAHAM HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 2. Dorothy Lamour and Robert Preston, famous pair of phoney romancers, are again to be thrown together in a film Paramount's "Aloma of the South Seas." And I bet the studio is sorry Dorothy's sarong was burned on the funeral pyre of publicity.

Because shell be needing it again judging by the sound of the new title. In any case, it's going to be quite hard for the studio press boys on this picture. What will they do for romance with Robert a happily married man, and Dotty going "steady" with Gregson Bautzer? Ah, well where there's pub licity, there's a way. "How Green was My Valley" is the current problem picture at Twentieth Century-Fox. Masculine casting difficulties have caused postponement for several months a blow to Ida Lupino, who was hoping for the femi nine lead.

And $120,000 already has been invested In building sets for the picture. These have to be carefully dismantled, put away, and guarded against damage. Before Leslie Howard comes back to Hollywood he will star in the London production of "Hatter's Castle," by A. J. Cronln.

Sylvia Sidney is trying to interest Warners in giving the gangster role in "Gentle People" to her husband, Luther Adler. But the studio wants Franchot Tone, who created the part in New York. Franchot is one of the busiest boys in filmland. When he finishes "Nice Girl" with Deanna Durbin, he parks his make-up box at Columbia to co- star with Joan Bennett in "A Girl's Best Friend Is Wall Street," which is a long name and a headache for a marquee. Carole Landis is going to get the build-up works at Fox, where she re THESE WOMEN!

Thirteen New Zealand airmen.

Five of their fellow fliers were said to have refused to make such a promise, and thus still were in German custody. HONGKONG, Jan. 2 (JP). The nazi raider responsible for most, if not all, the sinkings of British ships in the Pacific was declared by travelers ar riving here today to be the speedy.

comparatively new former British- owned Glengarry, reported seized by the Germans at Copenhagen and con verted into a auxiliary cruiser. These informants said the raider is commanded by a "Capt. Count Von Lucknow." (The Oerman "who's Who" does not list a Count Von Lucknow. The name recalls the exploits of Count Felix Von Luckner, World war commander of the Seeadler, one of the German sea raiders, which preyed on allied shipping in the Atlantic and south Pacific.) (The British charged last June that Von Luckner carried out a spy mission, when he visited Australia in 1938 during a round-the-world cruise. Von Luckner, now 55, has made frequent lecture tours of the United States.) A group of 496 survivors from ships sunk by a nazi raider, who were landed by the raider on lonely Emirau island in the south Pacific, said that the ship was operating under the name of Manyo Maru and that she was provisioned by a storeship under the name of Tokyo Maru.

ana buzz aaaea under his breath, 'or will soon, I It seems he was quite taken with her. "Then Clro's, then Earl Carroll's, then the Brown Derby. They took turns in dancing with her. They vied with each other in plying her with orchids, hors d'oeuvres and steaks, fought to help her with her chair or wrap, etc. "Soon after, Franchot became smitten with a lovely girl and the boys tried the same technique.

"Now they had agreed not to double-cross each other and they kept their agreement. The 'discoverer's' helper was to bow out whenever his assistance seemed unnecessary. So, what happens? So the girls double-cross them. Yes, sir. Buzz's 'Botticelli' fell for Franchot and Franchot's 'lovely girl' fell for Buzz.

And all four hearts got broken In the blitz." After that, it seems, the boys decided to change their approach, be patient and get introduced in the proper way, each one alone. However, according to the agent, that didnt work so good, either. Because both of them have a habit of saying to all the pretty girls they meet, "Drop by some day, why don't you." And the pretty girls have a habit of doing so, generally, alas, not until the host has managed to forget her name. "Ill tell you," the agent said, "they're giving parties all the time and this is the way It goes. Jimmy Stewart is there, Henry Fonda and his wife, Olivia de Havilland, Geraldine Fitzgerald and her husband, Edwin Lindsay Hogg, people Kke that.

Then there are six or eight or a dozen or so very beautiful girls, very nice girls, too, standing around waiting to be Introduced and Buzz and Franchot standing around waiting to think of their names." Then there was the time Mr. Meredith was sitting alone in Dave Cba-sen's restaurant staring discreetly at a lovely lady who didn't seem to mind being stared at. She didn't mind until she discovered that her legs wera somewhat too much in evidence. Then she pulled down her skirt and looked away coldly. Mr.

Meredith called for paper, called for pen and then called on his muse. The result was this note, which he sent by waiter: "You're really quite inhibited. Your legs are not exhibited." So what was the result of the note? It was a husband. Seems he was a missionary newly returned from the Belgian Congo where he had been exercising all his muscles. Mr.

Meredith described him as being nine feet high and having fangs. Buzz drew himself ua to his full five feet, eight and demanded to know what about poetic license, and got away un shaken.

Jan. 2 Being kind of shy myself meaning, shy of what it takes to get them cute little girls with their flirty-flirty curls to pay attention when I whisper I have always wanted to read a realistic account of the private life of an unattached matinee idol. A shy guy like me needs to get an education somewhere. Well, if you have never wanted to read anything like that, you had better stop right here.

For that is what you're going to get from here on out the private life, not merely of one unattached matinee idol, but of two. The names are Burgess Meredith and Franchot Tone. They are room mates now out in Hollywood where they used to be roommates on Broad way. The last we read oi francnoi Tone was in the Broadway gossip columns. There are four of them printed In New York and the other Monday all four of them came out announcing that Mr.

Tone was giving a rush to or had a crush on a girl. Each named a different girl. Each, we are told, was right and altogether were absolutely And the last we saw of Burgess Meredith was Just before he was to make an entrance at some public doings around town. He had taken off his hat and was crushing up his hair in the palm of his hand. We thought he was sore at something and pulling out his hair.

But he said no and that, since being divorced amicably, he hadn't been sore at anybody and was just giving his curly hair a few last-minute curls because 'you know how women are." We told him we didn't know how women are, although we had been trying to learn for a number of years. He said to go away, he was busy. So now along comes an agent of Burgess Meredith, also a pal. He has just flown in from Hollywood and he gave us the lowdown on the doings of Mr. Meredith and Mr.

Tone. Seems the boys have been doing to Hollywood what they did to Broadway igniting it, or failing that, making it burn up. "They started off with a blitz technique," the agent said. "That was when they were new to Hollywood. Whenever one of them discovered a pretty girl sitting alone somewhere, either by herself or in a crowd, the two would gang up on her together.

That was their agreement, one to help the other 'rush' the girl until the one who had discovered her felt sure enough of her interest to go on alone. "So, bang! They go to work.
