Well he owns a stone quarry "Come the revolution" he's perfectly willing that the government should own it Maybe that's because its never paid a profit He and Ernie Bevin Labor minister in the Churchill government used to love one another like a dog loves a cal However since Cripps is now a member of the privy council he and Ernie can at least be brought to sit in the same room together In fact in his broad minded moments Bevin must admit that the boy Stafford Cripps has done pretty well since he came into the world Lord Parmoors son studied chemistry and la at Cambridge and hung out his shingle in London in 1913 LOST A GOOD CHEMIST When young Cripps took up law Sir William Ramsea always argued the world lost a good chemist "Too bad" he said And it's still too bad couldn't give Russia more effective aid right now than to say "Hey here's a chemist" In fact this war is fast getting to the point where one chemist is worth 10 diplomats In World War I young Cripps served with the British Red Cross in France and also as the assistant superintendent of a government explosives factory in Great Britain He wasn't a Laborite yet That came when his wealthy and scholarly pappy got fed up with the Conservative party and turned Laborite at 72 Stafford Cripps went along with the old man In 1928 young Cripps won a seat In Parliament and in 1930 Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald made him solicitor in the United States to Attorney the British cabinet Then came Ramsay MacDonald's deal with the Conservatives and it made Cripps so mad be saw red for 19 days running "We Laborites have got to quit being sissies" Sir Stafford began to argue "We've got to show these Conservatives where to head in even if it means taking over their plants and factories the very minute we enter of fice" a As Hitler's face grew big on the International horizon Cripps wanted Britain to effect an alliance with Russia It didn't work out that way Joe preferred to play footie with Hitler Cripps had been kicked out of the Labor party and was loafing when Prime Minister Churchill sent him to Moscow to woo Big Joe to the side of Britain It was tough going the first year but now Sir Stafford Cripps is making such a hit with Stalin that Joe hisself is beginning to want to be knighted Who knows?

You Recall That Fighting Jones Boy and His Ship title of the cnief justice? (b) How do you address a naval lieutenant commander? BY SIGRID ARNE WASHINGTON' July 5 015) Try these on your knowledge of things American They're questions on politics and history posed here to competing teams of men and women political reporters Mrs Roosevelt was in the front row chuckling at their answers Questions first then the answers 1 He 'shows no indications of being fascinated by his own profile which is right nice He confines his acting to the stage In real life you might guess him to be a bond salesman or an attorney or even an aviator He said not a word about his "art" He called it "play-pretending" He doesn't even think that he'll always be an actor "I'll get into something else eventually maybe directing or writing" "An actor" he says "has too many crutches first the author writes his lines and then a director tells him how to deliver them" Cook was born and reared in Oregon Inaugurated his theatrical career at the Little Theater in Portland and was graduated from the University of Oregon At one time he burned the West in a song and patter act "Strictly small time" he explains One day when he found himself in Kansas City out of funds and had to take a job as a bellhop he thought he was down on his luck But he was wrong It was strictly a gesture anyway because his family is in the banking business and although they then disapproved of his choice of professions they never have felt any financial pain Finally he got a job in the lumber business but was so stagestruck he started acting in Atte Kansas City Community Theater and there Margaret Anglin saw him liked his i work asked him to call at her hotel and told him so I It seemed too good to be true" Cook relates "but soon 1 received a telegram in-'eructing me to join an all-star touring come pany of 'Rivals' featuring the late Minnie Maddern Fiske" 'OWES ALL TO GREAT ACTRESS This great lady of the stage says Cook' taught him everything he knows about the theater He was first seen on 13p3adway in "The He mated He co life yt man He called think 1 11'1 mayb( "A crutct and tt them' Co inaugi Theati the 11: At song "Si On City bellhc But anyw businf of his felt a but the 1 there iwork him I It relate latruct pany Madd 'OVIM I Th taugh theate Be NEXT ifIllf5TioN: two WAS FIR57 pizEpEN7- go511 1tR cAA1- Yew A5e 49A1E771N' kk 5 Yr- LIK 14 14147 lit5 Ta ate- 11 A iii 4 Wagrith- 0 i i CHURCHILL LIKED HIM That's when Churchill took a shine to Sir he saw how thoroughly Sir Stafford despised Chamberlain Never mind that Sir Stafford disliked Chamberlain because Chamberlain was too conservative As Churchill saw it Sir Stafford was right for the wrong reasons Sir Stafford hated Chamberlains leadership so much he asked the Labor Party of which he was the most solvent member to form a "popular front" to whip the Conservatives at the polls For this the Labor Party threatened to oust him "Say you're you didn't mean we'll give you one more chance" said the Labor leaders "I take back nothing" said Sir Stafford So they bounced him Oh he's nervy If you don't think Cripps is nervy listen: One time he publicly made fun of the idea of the English keeping on with the king and queen business In England you dont come any nervier that that He's so radical that he called the last coronation "Just bunkum and bunting" He thought King Edward should have been permitted to marry anyone he wanted to He wants the House of Lords abolished Finally he wants private ownership of property done away with Outside that he's conservative He's a family man with four children smokes a briar pipe and used to vacation in Jamaica To top it all off he's the richest lawyer in England Up to a year ago he was making between $50- 000 to $100000 a year representing the biggest concerns in England He would stand up in courtrooms in the daytime representing the du Ponts and the Rockefellers and the Andy Mellons of Britain and that night he wound be out on zr soap-box somewhere hollering "Down with capitalism" It didn't matter to his clients that Sir Stafford wanted to get rid of private ownership of property What interested them was that he knew more Blackstone than an' man in England THEY MISS HIM What tees he charged! People who thihk it's out of order for an enemy of the capitalist system to make such money out of the system forget that big fees may have a tendency to weaken the concerns they're charged against Anyway' it's Sir Stafford's favorite form of boring from within' They miss him in Parliament since he went to Moscow There's those debates he used to have with Lady Astor On Nov 9 1938 he was denouncing "the lying statement that opposition parties in this country want war" "They do!" Lady Astor shouted at him "The noble lady and her set are not exactly popular with the people of this country" Sir Stafford said shaking a mean forefinger "Set What set?" Lady Astor asked "I withdraw the word 'set' and apologize" said Sir Stafford politely "And I substitute for it the word 'gang' The people of this country do not relish the future as a member of her a future that would make of ile-74D- 1 LI Vili': A ---z-jOk a 4 1 1-1 ::::::4 :1 i i i4 1 t' 714f Lady" 'Mr Smith Goes to Washington" etc VI In order: Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Union of Socialist Soviet Republics 11 In sequence: Ilo Lou Henry Edith 12 (a)John Paul Jones (b) Oliver Hazard Perry (c) Farragut (d) Dewey (e) Admiral Sims in the World War when asked how long it would take his naval squadron to prepare for action after crossing the Atlantic 13 Virginia 14 Honolulu 15 (a)Rudolf Hess (b) Nova ille Chamberlain (c) Gen Nathan Forrest Southern general in the Civil War 16 (a) Chief Justice of the United States (b) Mister He is a junior officer 17 In sequence: Thomas Jefferson Grant Rutherford Hayes Abraham 17 By whom were the following defeated for the presidency?
