In the living room of Andre's folks' home at 2323 Ocean Parkway, brown-eyed, brown-haired Bea and brown-hair, brown-eyed Andre sat side by side on a sofa and laughed over the error of their ways, which brought them such good dividends.

Bea Wain la an outstanding radio singer, star of the "Monday Merry-Qo-Round" program, and Andre Baruch is a leading radio announcer, as well as one of the most prominent screen news commentators. Bea's greatest mistake gave her her luckiest break, she said. "I was singing with the Kate Smith choir. During the last number of the program my stocking popped a run. Annoyed, I looked down, and as a result, held a note a bit too long.

After the program, Ted Straeter, director of the choir, was scolding me when the phone rang. Star Is Found "It was Larry Clinton calling. He was then In process of organiz- IN COCKPIT of new Curtiss P-40 pursuit plane, Lt. H. L.

I find the ascription In an otherwise sensible piece of comment on two books: one by Van Wyck Brooks and the other by Gerald W. The word is descriptive of those see their small land holdings taken Were therefore conveniently and multitudinously "liquidated." Thomas Jefferson was a farmer U. S. in his time. But he was also fense.

Despite the preachments of In public life Wendell Willkie and Psul V. McNutt Indiana is generally accounted an isolationist Stale. If the record of votes in Congress Is taken as the measure, it is the most isolationist of States. Of the Indiana delegation of 12 Representatives and two Senators, 11 have voted against the President in every test involving foreign policy. Two have a mixed record.

Only one has supported the Administration consistently. Yet at the launching last Friday Governor Schneker asserted that Indiana is not isolationist, but, on the contrary', is strongly behind the "all-out'' defense policy of the President. The uovernor is a i Democrat, but all the other elected Officers of the Slate who were present are Republicans. If the practical political realities at home had required it the Governor could have graciously satisfied the patriotic obligations of the occasion and his sense of loyalty as a Democrat, and at the same time left some loopholes for himself. But he spoke eloquently and without equivocation.

He may be a man of deep personal convictions, but even the most sincere of elected officials seldom commit political suicide knowingly. tOO Hoosier at Ceremony More than 500 Hoosiers, most of them Democrats but including a number of active Republicans, traveled from Indianapolis to Newport News by special train for the occa-tion. All with whom this correspondent talked agreed that the present division of the Indiana rhose his own philosophy after a study of history and reinforced lt with a first hand knowledge of contemporary Europe.

"Larry Clinton had tuned in on the program accidentally. He was waiting for another air show to begin, and while waiting, Just dialed in the Kate Smith show at random." As soon as she got the job, Bea confided, she ran home to catch her breath and try to realize that she had become the vocalist for Clinton's new band. Barurh's Mistake "My mistake was good too," Andre Baruch, who had gone over to the piano, interrupted his tapping of the keys to say. He was determined, he said, to see what made a radio station click. So one day he strolled Into WCGU, a small Coney Island station, and tried to walk around unnoticed.

"It was just like the movies," he said, gleefully. "A certain artist didn't show up for a broadcast that was about to go on. I heard them talking but thought nothing of lt. I continued to look around here and there (in small stations a few years ago you could get away with almost anything). Suddenly a fellow came tearing across the place after me.

"My first Impulse was to say I wasn't doing anything. But before I could speak, he was talking to me: 'Can you play a "I managed to nod. 'Are you the fellow Insisted. Again I managed a nod. 'Can you sit down and play right away, over the Sat Down and Played "Who was I to say no at such a time? I sat down at the piano, and when the person I Was accompanying had folded her music and gone away, I sat on, dreainy-eyed, for I had been offered a job." Having gone this far on a mistake of the radio station operator, Andre Baruch saw no reason why he shouldn't be a radio pianist on the big time.

He went over to the WABC studios, looking for someone to whom he could explain his ambitions, and walked Into a studio which was the wrong one, and where someone shoved a sheet of paper into his hand. 1 was just about to ask where Mr Brooks, lt seems, doesn't like nnonilal nan ltd It lo rinnlUfiiT hot Brook is annoyed because In the people, sir, ls a great beast!"

The menu Includes not only a cooked or ready-cooked cereal, which ls mainly refined carbohydrate (starch or sugar), but also toast, roll, hot cakes, waffles, flapjacks, bread, bis cuit, syrup, etc, all of which ls mainly refined carbohydrate. Carbohydrate is -excellent food. It yields.

Immediate energy for muscular work or play. It is as easily digestible as any other kind of food material. In a well balanced diet lt may and should supply about three-fourths of the total calories. The obvious fault with the American breakfast is that lt supplies too much carbohydrate and not enough of most or all of the other essential nutritive elements protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, filler or roughage, for optimal nutrition and health. Eat Eggs for Breakfast The shortage ln protein and fat may be corrected by Including two eggs ln the menu.

Two eggs cooked as you prefer eggs cooked as you prefer are most digestible. Eat 'em raw if you like, although a portion of raw egg albumen passes through the alimentary tract unabsorbed, and so cooked egg is more completely digested than raw egg. The shortage in vitamins Is partly corrected by Including two eggs ln the breakfast (vitamin vitamin complex, vitamin D) and further corrected by eating plain wheat instead of refined flour or other refined cereals. On request, If you inclose a stamped envelope bearing your address! I'll send you a pamphlet "Wheat to Eat" which gives suggestions on the use of plain wheat ln the family dietary. By making wheat in one form or another a main part of the breakfast you get not only an increased ration of vitamin complex but also more of the minerals and the fiber required for good digestion and good nutrition.

Twenty minutes later I was saying 'I sure do' in reply to the question: 'Do you want a Job as WABC staff Then I discovered I was being auditioned for an announcer all the time." Bea Wain started her comedy of errors when she got her first audition at NBC, for a children's hour. At the crucial moment, Instead of playing the piano, which she had come to do, Bea began to sing.

They Fell ln Love Bea ls a native New Yorker, Andre was born In Paris 33 years ago, and came to Brooklyn when he was 12. He attended P. S. 94, and obtained a Brooklyn Eagle route after school, because he didn't want to rely on his dad for spending money. Later he worked for Michael Brothers' furniture company, and as file clerk and cashier in several chain groceries.

He went too to Manual Training High and Columbia University. He wanted to become an Illustrator, and went to Pratt Institute, and did very well. "I had no more idea of landing ln radio and the news reels than of making a stratosphere trip," he remarked. Andre fell for Bea, literally, one day on the Kale Smith show. Andre was the announcer, Bea an unimportant member of the choir.

One day the program had been completed and everyone started to leave, when the big-shot announcer tripped as he came down from the stage and fell right at Bea's feet. He was stunned by the fall, and Bea superintended the throwing of water in his face and saw to lt that he got home. "We fell ln love right then and there," said Andre, "though we didn't get around to telling each other about it until later. We're still ln love, after three years of marriage." "He still sends me flowers," con tributed Bea. 'Every Thursday, night, which ls the only night we both have off."

With allowances for national origins and religious affilations.

labor supports the President by substantial majorities. The greatest lag is in the small towns and rural areas, where farm prices and the cast of living are discussed much more than the war and foreign policy, and where the conviction seems deeply imbedded that nobody will, or can, attack us.

Rome ls the chief city of Italy, and is the place where Mussolini has his headquarters. We might expect lt would suffer bombing, the same as London, Moscow and Berlin. Yet the Britlsn have spared Rome, and there are special reasons.

For one thing, the city contains Interesting remains of ancient times. It has the Coliseum, where gladiators u.sed to fight on the arena, and it has other buildings left by the olden Romans. Cairo and Athens also have remains of ancient times. TheBrlUsh at one time said that If Axis planes ever bombed one of those cities, there would be a bombing raid on Rome. Roman Empire Since then a 1 has been bombed to a slight extent, and it was believed the British might bomb Rome.

They did not do that, however. A report was sent out that "only the suburbs" of Cairo had been bombed.
