any one person can claim credit for discovering Franklin Roosevelt it is Herbert Swope former executive editor of the New York World and Frank Cobb the late editor in chief of the Propaganda Parade The recent parade of crack Nazi divisions in Paris was obviously designed for propaganda pur- at home and abroad In effect Hitler World tniri The discovery came in 1912 just after Woodrow Wilson was elected and when Swope then a political correspondent was travelling with him in New York State Wilson was so completely at odds with most of the Democratic Party in New York that at the Onondaga Hotel in Syracuse he refused to shake hands with Charley Murphy then boss of Tammany th world that he was ready to resist a invasion of the German-held continent Europe In the meantime the English

ALL RULES The Crawford Terry nuptials broke all the rules of Hollwood marriages They were married before any of the gossip experts here abouts knew they were anything more than noding acquaintances Some of these experts male and female have come to believe that no Hollywood marriage is legal until they personally have approved it in print I must said Terry I got a particular satisfaction in getting married with out benefit of the gossip department It was about then that Miss pulled off her wedding ring which looked like a chunk of gold tubbing and handed it to her spouse Then she grabbed the suitcase which contained a couple of bricks so it feel empty and started toting it up the long flight of stairs The scene was Paris Her own house A line of Parisians (including one woman who actually was French) stood on the stairs waiting for the Nazis to give them coupons permitting them to buy coal Brushing past them came Miss Crawford with the uniformed Nazi chasing her THREE TIMES She did this three times then Jules Dassin the 28 year old director said Miss came down stairs panting and got her ring Dassin said if war time regulations made it necessary to save film he really

Hollywood in 1940 and for six months paid him a fat salary for doing nothing except watching other movie directors at work Then the boss fired him Dassin pleaded with Metro to give him a chance to dircet something for free That studio insisted on paying him a salary but took a gamble on a two reeler called Tell Tale Dassin did so wel with it that been directing features ever since lJour Cjood
