Abbe Goes tinder Spot (Continued from page one) friendly until I asked him a lead ing question. Then they turned to cold steel. Stalin means steel you know.” Abbe resumed his typing. We couldn't help noticing how much this vitality-packed little man with the billiard-blitz haircut and the deep-set eyels resembled a gnome or pixie. ‘‘That’s a swell picture of Hit ler,” we said, looking at a sharp clearcut glossy of the Nazi fueh er which Abbe took while work ftg on the Berliner Zeitung. Hitler’s Choice “Yes,” Abbe replied, while reading a batch of notes over the silver rimmed glasses on his pointed nose. ‘‘It’s Hitler’s own favorite. He's a hard man to pho tograph. Stubborn chin, and the mustache. Couldn’t ask him to remove the mustache, though.” ‘‘Do you think Hitler’s dead?” ‘‘Any man can be dead,” Abbe retorted. ‘‘Do you listen to my programs ?” ‘‘No.” Ideal ‘‘Got a brainstorm the other night,” started the globe-trotting author of ‘‘I Photographed Rus sia,” of his own accord. “Asked my audience who they thought would be best qualified to be mythical universal ruler of the A}st war world, if such was pos sible. Told them to write me their choice, and who they thought mine would be.” . “We’ve got over 300 letters, cards, and telegrams already,” injected Virgil Smith, KGW news editor who was hunched over a nearby desk sorting the mail in piles.

Who is he, she, or it?” “Eugene Pachelli,” he replied. “He’s now Pope Pius XII.” “Think he’d take the job?” we asked. “He’d be a fool if he did, but he surely is qualified for the job.” Abbe, and More Abbe We kept thumbing through the seemingly endless scrap book of pictures by Abbe and of Abbe. Among the best was the picture story, “Behind the German Smoke-Screen,” which Abbe did in 1932 with H. R. Knickerbock er. Abbe was now working intent ly via the hunt and peck, apolo gizing from time to time for not being able to devote more time to us, jumping up every four minutes to answer the phone or talk to “Pang.” The telephone rang again, “Dingy-ding-ding.” “Awww, stop,” Abbe retorted annoyed. American Bag “The Americans in North Af rica?” he repeated to our query. “It’s going to be a tough job. The Germans are in strongly fortified positions on a high plateau. About 150,000 of them. As I see it, as things stand now the Brit ish hold the assets, while the Americans are stuck with the lia bilities.” A good looking blond girl with distinct Abbe features, and the Abbe self-confidence entered. Wo dropped North Africa, turned to more interesting items. “Hmmm,” we said. “Patience,” he said. “Hmmm,” we repeated. “Very pleased to meet you.” TJO Guests Patience Abbe of “I Patience” fame is the female part of the Abbe child trio who wrote the best seller “Around the World in 11 Years.” Patience and her two brother co-authors will accom pany their father to the Dads' day luncheon. “What will I do for shoes now, Dad?” the comely Patience asked her father. “We’ll go barefoot like we did in Russia,” Abbe told his daugh ter-adviser. Abbe has promised to wear iowever. But beyond this prom ise, you can expect anything . . . shoes to the Dads’ day luncheon, anything. A new armory is being con structed at Univ. of Maryland.

She drew the -as signment a short time ago for the part of Letty Lythe, a vivacious movie actress, in “The Whole Town’s Talking,’’ second Guild Hall production of the year. Miss Rossman is working on a Katherine Hepburn voice for the glittering Letty, but is making no attempt to imitate the noted ac tress’ movements and gestures. Hardest part of the role is try ing to be charming in the Holly wood manner. “You feel like you are making a fool of yourself in the part, but its fun trying to be glamorous,” says Louise. Last term she had the role of a 60-year-old dowager in the Guild Hall play, “Watch on the Rhine,” another difficult charac terization. During her junior year she was a member of the stage crew working in “Of Thee I Sing,” “Of Mice and Men,” and “Wing less Victory." Performances of “The Whole Town's Talking” are set for Feb ruary 12, 13, 17 and 18. Reserved seat tickets may be obtained at the box office from 10 to 12 m. and 1 to 5 p.m. All seats are re served and priced at 55 cents.
