American Voices Sound Like
Tin Whistles, British Claim
By Joan Younger
United Press Correspondent
New York, Dec. 28 (U.R)
The British' member of parlia
ment who said American voices
sound like tin whistles had bet
ter watch out, Theodora Lynch,
movie singer, warned today, be
cause Hollywood Is going to let
off a blast in his ear.
"Why, an American woman's
voice sounds like a well-played
harp compared to that mouse
squeak British accent," Miss
Lynch said in a train-side inter
view. "We're going to tell the
Limey off and in our best tin
whistle American, too."
The controversy over the
American voice as heard via
the talking pictures and a Brit
ish voice flared up in parliament
recently when MaJ. Henry A
Proctor, asserted that "the Eng
lish voice sounds like a flute,
and the American voice like a
tin whistle."
. "If he had . said fluke' he
would have come closer to the
truth," Miss Lynch said. She
added that, headed by Irish
Charles Bickford, a group of
Hollywoodites were "working
up an answer." In the group,
JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES
Compiled' by County Office 0. S. C Extension Service
she said, were Ellen Drew, a
vaguely related member of the
famous British stage family;
Jane Russell, whose voice has as'
yet gone unheard although her
sweaters are pin-up famous, and
Lauren Bacall, described fre
quently as the girl with the fog
horn voice.
Miss Lynch said that further
attributes of the American voice
included a "minor detail you
can understand it." When she
was in England, she said, she
practically had to hire an interpreter.
"They talk like they've just
bitten into a peanut butter sand
wich," she said. "Americans may
speak a little noisily at times
but you can at least get what
they're saying."
Bickford, Miss Lynch said,
was "good and sore" and felt
the whole thing was "nothing
but a commercial proposition."
"The British want to keep
Hollywood pictures out of Eng
land," she said. They want to
build their own pictures up.
Well,, actions speak louder than
words Hollywood has thou
sands of fans in England, and
they aren't complaining."

Is Requested
Both' nationally and for Ore
gon a larger slaughter of beef
cattle is asked for 1945. Nation
ally an increased slaughter to a
total of 35 million head of cat

would bring a reduction of about
three million head in total cat
tle numbers compared with an
estimated reduction of two mil
lion head this year. For Oregon
an Increased slaughter is also
requested, which it is hoped will
reduce the total number of cat
