Sterner, Central City Smart Girl Makes Career of Being Rattlebrained NEW YORK, June The male need no longer feel self- conscious about any inability to understand women, for it seems the members of the so-called weaker sex don't even understand themselves. That's something of a confession from black-haired Barbara Jo Allen, who has made a career for herself with a rattlebrained dual personality known to radio fans as Vera Vague.

But there's nothing vicious about Barbara Jo. She's attractive, intelligent, with a talent for comedy and a keen appreciation of the foibles of her feminine friends. For several years she has been giving satirical sketches and poking fun at the members of her the paradox is that the women like it Even Barbara Jo doesn't quite understand this reaction. She got the idea for Vera Vague while attending a women's club meeting in which the chairman was to discuss "World Literature." 'There is one book you must read," Barbara Jo heard the speaker say "It is terribly important. It's well, I can't remember the name right now, but you must read it.

I', was written by a very famous author Oh, what is her.name? Anyway, it doesn't matter. She's dead now." And on and on. Barbara Jo Allen was playing in "Tales of Shakespeare" at the time, with ambitions for dramatic roles in the after she created Vera Vague she was tagged as a comedienne, and comedy has been her forte in radio and pictures. Currently she's been appearing with Bob Hope on the radio, and has just completed an assignment in Paramount's "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cal-btge Patch." "At almost every performance," Beibera Jo said, "some woman will got hysterical over Vera Vague.

I understand whether women have a wonderful sense of humor tun laugh at themselves or whether they don't realize I'm doing a takcofl" on them." But blue-eyed Barbara Jo is a paradox herself. Giving the impression of being a rather grave person and a sophisticate, she doesn't look the part of a comedienne. Perhaps this can be traced to her harum-scarum youth, which included schooling in Europe and working for a pair of shoes in Cuba. Barbara Jo's real name is Barbara Henshall. Her father was the late C.

T. Henshall of Goshen, N. a well-known figure i-round the grand circuit in the days when he was racing a stabile of trotters. He named his daughter after one of his favorite thoroughbreds, Marion O. Mrs.

Henshall died hen Barbara Jo was 9. and so the child followed her father to the various tracks wnc-re his horses were racing. She more than 50 schools in almost every state in the union. "Sometimes we had more money thai we knew what to do with, and we wouldn't know where the ntxt meal was coming from," Barbara Jo said. In Cuba the Henshall resources reached an all-time low just when Barbara Jo needed shoes.

She was only 13 at the time, but. decided to get a job and buy the shoes without telling her father. That was the time, old-timers may recall, when the Havana tele phone system was thrown into a hopeless snarl. "I convinced the company I could speak Spanish well enough to work as an operator," she chuckled, "but the Cubans talked so fast I could not understand them. I'd just tell them the time when they asked for a number, and then break the connection." She lasted long enough to collect $40 in wages and get the shoes, however, returning home without creating any international complications.

Completing high school, she attended the University of California at Los Angeles, Stanford University and the Sorbonne in Paris. She was determined to be an artist and read portion in a tryout with Eva Le Gallienne, but Le Gallienne was unimpressed. Disappointed Barbara Jo got a job as a model in an exclusive New York shop. One day she appeared at the office of Producer Al Woods and informed his secretary she had been sent over for a tryout by the famous actor, Charles Dillingham. She hadn't met Dillingham but Woods didn't know it, and gave her a place in a company touring with 'Shanghai Gesture." While in Washington she received a note from Dillingham saying: "I saw your performance and iked it very much.

Any time you want to use my name in New York, go right ahead." "I never did know how he found out about me using his name," Barbara Jo said. Later she played in stock and was selected for a principal role the first London production of 'Outward Bound." Then came the radio, the movies and the creation of Vera Vague. It isn't often that Vera or Barbara Jo, as the case may be, is at a for words, but the slender comedienne's 13-year-old daughter recently balked her. "Mother," she asked, "how do you talk with the boys?" "Why, what do you mean?" Barbara Jo asked. "Well, when my boy friend comes over I say 'Hello, and he says 'Hiya, Stinky.

What's cookin'? And I don't know what to Neither did Barbara Jo. First Lieutenant Rumors, Rumors NORFOLK, June a seacoast town if you want to iear that have of- somewhat wacky, rumors JOHN W. SUTTON, son ot Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sutton, was promoted to First Lieutenant, Sunday, June 21.

On a recent trip to the Hampton roads district, for instance, this correspondent was told as gospel truth that submarines of German manufacture were aground at Ocean View, at Willoughby, Cape Henry, Lynnhaven inlet and just off Virginia Beach. "Did you actually see them?" I inquired.

"No, but so-and-so did." On approaching so-and-so, I was told that he hadn't seen them but so-and-so had. And so on. The same is true of the rumor currently going the rounds in Norfolk that a German submarine was forced to surface and, when inspected, its stores were found to include bread purchased in a Portsmouth bakery. Then there was the German sub- roaiine commander who halted an merchantman just off Moiehead City and, bringing the commander of the merchantman oboard the sub, supposedly said: You must have a filthy bottom, should have it scraped.

We pay 1e pound The War Today BY DEW1TT MACKENZIE (Wide World War Analyst) We can't quarrel with the predlc tlon by London military experts that the next week bids fair to be one of the most critical of the war for the Allies, though personally 1 should go further and say that it also will be one of the most fate ful for the Axis. The consensus of military obser vers is that Hitler must win this year or not at all. His correlated offensives against the British in Egypt and the Reds at the gateway to the Caucasus represent the beginning ot a mighty effort to drive a wedge which will give him victory before winter again brings its icy terrors to the Soviet front.

Another week won't see the end of the great battles which now are swelling, but the speeding events of the immediate future are likely to silhouette the climax of Hitler's attempt to dominate the world. The Nazi fuehrer right now cither is building himself a pyramid of triumph, or he is digging his own grave which about the time the first snows sweep the Russian step pes will be ready and waiting for the Allies to push him in. He may still play Hamlet for a bit after thati but his number will be up. But here it is important to note that there is no assurance (or so it seems to me) that the presenl offensives will continue to be the channels through which our destiny will flow. The Allies must be prepared for a lightning change of tactics by Hitler if things don't go well with his scheme of clamping a great pair of pincers on Egypt from the East and from the West.

That is to say. if Field Marshal Rommel's sensational invasion of Egypt should bog down, or if Field Marshal Von Bock should find the going too hard in his efforts to smash through the Red line in the Kharkov sector, we may expect Hitler to shift to a different field. Don't forget that he has only about four months left in which to turn the trick of saving his hide by breaking into the Caucasus or the Middle East and securing the oil and other supplies which he must have to keep his war machine going. Even if things go well for the Germans on the Russian front, it should cause no surprise if Hitler suddenly lashed out at Syria with an attempt to invade that coutnry by air and thus secure a base from which to strike at the Allies both in Egypt and in the countries to the East. Such a move would bolster the operations of both Rommel and Bock and would create a fresh emergency for the Allies.

Certainly if the Russian front holds, a Nazi attack on Syria would be a logical development. There still remains one other possibility which would represent an act of sheer desperation on the part of the Nazi attempt to invade England. I have mentioned that several times in previous columns and believe the danger still exists that he might try this as a final gamble. Of course if he were successful in knocking England out of the war he certainly would have the Allies hanging on the ropes. However, these contingencies await the development of the offensives already under way.

In both these great battles United States Army warplanes are playing their part, and our equipment is strengthening the arms of our Allies. Again your attention is called to the probability that the conflict in Egypt will turn largely on air control, and already American four-motored bombers are blasting at Rommel's communications and supply depots. Inquiry of the captain of the meichantman elicted the information that he never had even seen a German submarine. Tnen the rumor that seemingly is itifernational in scope, for I heard it in London, the effect that sailors captured in an axis sub- maiine had tickets from a local theater in their pockets. How do these rumors spread? Perhaps this is one explanation and this incident is true: A resident of the Hampton Roads area called a local newspaper and 0f Pwl Urtf Miss Dorothy Louise Lykc, daughter of Mrs.

Teoka R. Lyke 653 Locust street, Indiana, became the bride of Paul Leroy son, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Henderson of South Bend, mt 1IM o'clock Thursday, June 25. Only the immediate families were prettllt at the quiet ceremony which was read by Dr.

H. B. Boyd at tM manse of the Presbyterian Churcb, Indiana. The bride was attended by Miss Lois Henderson, steier of flw groom. Floyd J.

Henderson attended Indiana High School and State Teachers College. Mrs. Henderson is employed by Henry Hall, Int. Mr. Henderson is an employee of Beck's Machine Shop and is member of the Army Air Corps Reserve.

The couple left immediately after the breakfast for a trip through the Great Lake Region. inquired about the submarine that was being towed through the roadstead. The paper had heard nothing it. But newspapers spend many hours running down rumors because one of every hundred may bear soTie fruit. So reporters were sent to various spots.

One of them found a tow of logs being taken through the waters off Norfolk. Before this could be published, the rumor had spread throughout the area and every vantage point along the roadstead was lined with curious residents. About a week ago off Virginia Beach a tanker was sunk. The incident was clearly visible from the shore. Survivors were landed, and one body was taken into the Coast station in full view of thousands.

This reporter taxied out from Norfolk and saw most of the Yet, within the hour many score people told me of the saying they had seen a submarine surface and shell the tanker, and one even tried to convince me one shell just missed the Cavalier Hotel. The truth was that the tanker lad struck a mine, and there is no proof yet that a submarine was within hundreds of miles of Virginia Beach. Rumors like these keep officialdom in a state of frenzy. Naval officials probably would intern the rumor-mongers for the duration if they had their way. The best way to stop such silliness, they say, is to ask just one question of the person telling you- these wild-goose yarns: "Did you actually see it happen?" If the answer is "yes'' communi- cate with either the Army or Navy and give the name of tBft'? person who "actually" saw the incident.

If the answer is "no," be Ameri- can and explain the damage that person is doing by spreading taH tales. 23 ARMY FLIERS GIVEN D. F. TT WASHINGTON, June 27.
