O You shall mount up as eagles, you shall fly O n Strong swift pinions through the dazzling noon, O r cleave the night on wings to reach the sky, One with the racing wind, the Stars, the moon. And’you shall run and not be weary, Heart, The golden hills shall fall beneath your feet, The journey’s ending will be as the Start, So fresh you will be, and the way so sweet. But more than lifting wings, or Strength to run, W ill be the joy, after the old restraint: To walk unburdened, free beneath the sun, The long bright miles before you, and not faint.».

Margaret O’Brien was about the youngest when she made her debut. As she had not yet learned to read, she had to memorize her lines. Next year’s line-up of stars will be im pressive, as usual.

When James Mason bought the old Buster Keaton home in Beverly Hills he found there was no way to change the light globes beneath the swimming pool except from underneath. So all through making "The Blank Wall” at Columbia he looked forward to excavating around the pool, with the idea of finding out whether there really was a hidden room some where under it. James Melton will take a com bined pleasure and business trip to the Hawaiian Islands while the NBC "Harvest of Stars" show is on an eight-week vacation. He plans to take his family along, and to give four concerts.

And that's what is causing so many arguments. -4- Elm er Twitchell went out as an Inquiring Reporter the other day and asked the question, "Do you think F. D. Roosevelt, Jr., is ever likely to be President?” The re sults follow: McSheddy, Jabez, Z., house- painter and lifelong Republican: "When you ask me that sm ile!” HE-MAN’S CODE T Richard H. Wilkinson Clark and Hoover Contrary to reports of trouble between Hoover and Attorney Gen eral Clark, Hoover never sent a letter threatening resignation, and here is what actually happened be tween the two men: Clark telephoned Hoover after Dr. Edward U. Condon of the bu reau of standards had asked for an FBI apology. Jokingly, Clark called Hoover "D r. Condon." Hoover laughed. Clark then asked how many confidential agents he had lost as a result of making public the FBI reports in the Condon ease. Hoover said he had lost j about 12, and that the one that was most Important was In side the Russian embassy. The attorney general said he had been talking to Acting Secretary of State Webb, who said he was cure the Russians knew they were being watched. Clark went on to say that he simply could not drop the Coplon case rather than produce the FBI reports because, if he did, every espionage agent in the United States would figure he had immun ity. Hoover then asked if the Justice department couldn't take "a con tempt” as in the Touhy case in Chicago. There, gangster Roger Touhy had demanded that certain FB I reports be produced in court, and the justice department had re fused, even though Judge John Barnes threatened to hold the local U. S. attorney in contempt. Clark replied that the Touhy case was different from the Coplon case in that Touhy was making an appeal and the bur den of proof was on him. There fore, ail the justice department risked in takirg “a contempt” was a $100 fine. In the Coplon case, on the other hand, Clark continued, the justice depart ment was the prosecutor, and if it was held In contempt the judge would not merely assess a $100 fine, he would dismiss the case. Hoover said he guessed the at torney general was right. He added that publication of the F B I papers in court was now water over the dam, but he would be dead opposed to producing the "top secret” docu- me nt. home.

Fast-riling cowboys often took a nasty tumble in tills super-slip pery mud and cattle were forever getting bogged down in them. But now, like a man discovering his hives are really u blessing. Belle Fourche has found its soup holes ure one of its biggest assets. Every one of them is filled with a magic mud called bentonite. It ’s an odorless, tasteless, soapy mud with a thousand uses and scientists are thinking up new ones every day. Most of us already are using It a half dozen times u day, but al most nobody hus heard of it. Men uso it in shoe polish and hand cleaners. Women use It in face Bentonite Is the most absorb ent material found In nature. When moistened It swells to several times Its normal alse. This quality m akes II useful In waterproofing housing founda tions and many other Industrial uses. powder, lotions, beauty creams. Bentonite also is found in many types of paint, plaster and cleaning agents. It ’s handy for filling holes in giant dams and for casting moulds for molten metal. Forced down thousands of feet into the earth this magic mud lubricates the drills in oil wells and sends the debris up to the drillers. Its new uses and increasing popu larity for its older uses all add up to a boom such as Belle Fourche hasn't seen since the gold rush. In the past 10 years the popula tion has practically doubled and bentonite now pours $600.000 a year into the town in the form of additional purchasing power. Fifteen years ago Belle Fourche shipped out three carloads of bentonite. Last year its production was 6,187 carloads and this year they expect carloadings to go con siderably higher. Scientists say that bentonite, a strange mixture made up mostly of dust from prehistoric volcanos, is found almost nowhere in the world except in the Black Hills of Wyo ming and South Dakota. It is the most absorbent material nature ever has devised, they say, and a half dozen teaspoonsful will soak up a glass of water.
