Soviet Attitude Angers Oitawans
Ottawa (U.R) A battle
raged today over the" undiplo
matic behavior of a group of
Russians toward Canadians-fire
men attempted to fight a fire
that ruined the Soviet embassy.
The Russians accused Ottawa
fire fighters of using inefficient
methods and defective equip
ment in fighting the $250,000
blaze that gutted the 19th cea
tury, three-story mansion Sun
day night. No one was injured
Ottawa's woman Mayor
Charlotte Whitton countered
that that Russians hampered
the firemen and vowed to bring
the matter before the Canadian
Parliament when it reconvenes
next week. Mayor Whitton also
called iftr a special conference
to decide once and for all the
powers of firemen fighting blaz
es on diplomatic property.
Only the walls of the stone
and brick building were left
standing. The fire was believed
to have started on the floor hous
ing the embassy's coding and
communications section.
Fire Chief John D. Foote said
the fire had been burning for
ab'Sut an hour before his men
were summoned. He said he
found the embassy staff carry

sians would not get out of the
way to let firemen bring equip
ment into play until they had
finished their evacuation.

Hollywood (U.R) One of
the "stars" on Jimmy Durante's
television show the other night
got no salary,
costumes or di
alogue and at
the end of the
program disap
pears forever.'
This guest
was a moving
spot of light. It
weaves across
the floor while
in the back-
ground you
hear a soft "
shoe route from
dancer.
That 'spotlight represented
one of the greatest acts and one
of the longest friendships in
show business.
To sentimental Jimmy the
light was a tribute to his one
time partner, Lou Clayton, who
died five years ago. And it was
a realization of a long-time am
bition. Siory Begins
The story of the spotlight be
gan in 1923 when Durante and
Eddi'- Jackson, the "strutter" on
TV show, were running the Club
Durante in New York. Clayton,
a vaudeville headliner, came to
the speakeasy above a garage
one January night. He had just
lost 595,000 in a floating crap
game on 57th st.
"He was the greatest soft shoe
dancer in the business," rasped
Jimmy today. "A good friend
put up some money for him
and he bought into our club."
The act became Clayton, Jack
son and Durante. The trio be
came the sensation of those roar
ing speakeasy days. Then in 1931
the act broke up when Jimmy
received a movie offer from
MGM.
Clayton Dies
In September, 1950, Clayton
died of cancer with Durante at
his bedside. Jackson stayed with
Durante and appears on his TV
show and his nightclub act.
Two years ago on a live TV
show Eddie and Jimmy danced
again with' Clayton va the mov
ing spotlight. Saturday night
they repeated the bit because
Jimmy wanted it on one of his
filmed NBC-TV shows.
"I'm glad I got it on fillum.
Now I can keep it forever," 6aid
the Schnoz. "Every time I see
this spotlight, chills go up my
spine."
