Edgar MHoover’s resigning ag _head of the FBI got stirred up from two separate sources. One was President Truman, wha got highly indignant at the smearing of a lot of innocent bystanders when the FBI reports in the Judith Coplon case were published. Truman felt that unchecked rumors should -not have been allowed to ‘get into the FBI files, and for a while he was all for firing the efficient FBI chief. ~ The other source was J. Edgar Hoover’s public relations-man, Lou Nichols, a smart and likable GreekAmerican, formerly Nicholopolous, who, in his zeal to protect his boss, sometimes outsmarts himself. It was Nichols who set in motion the rumor that Hoover was about to resign—as a backfire against Truman’s intimation that it might be a good thing to have Hoover resign. Nichols was busy as a bird dog dropping hints to newsmen about friction between Hoover and his chief, Attorney General Tom Clark, and one edi-: torial in a local Washington newspaper followed Nichols’ conversation almost. verbatim. Nichols is the same alert busy: body who shuttled back and forth between the FBI and Capitol Hill last summer when it was a good bet the Republicans were going to win in November. He seemed almost as much at home in the office of Congressman Parnell Thomas, chairman of the un-American activities committee, as the congress: man himself. (Thomas is now under indictment in a kickback scandal.) Nichols also was chummy with G.O.P.Senator Ferguson of Michigan, a bitter foe of the justice department. In fact, Lou was credited with slipping Ferguson the Elizabeth Bentley spy data, and was so active that some capitol observers were unkind enough to say Lou was playing his cards to become chief of the FBI once the Republicans took office—though this observer has never detected anything but strict devotion to his chief. Clark and Hoover Contrary to reports of trouble between Hoover and Attorney General Clark, Hoover never sent a letter threatening resignation, and here is what actually happened between the two men: Clark telephoned Hoover after Dr. Edward U. Condon of the bureau of standards had asked for an FBI apology. Jokingly, Clark called Hoover ‘‘Dr. 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 case. Hoover said he had lost about 12, and that the one that was most important was inside the Russian embassy. The attorney general said he had been talking to Acting Secretary of State Webb, who said he was sure the Russians knew they were being watched. 2 Clark went on: to say that h 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 immunity. Hoover then asked if the justice department couldn’t take ‘‘a contempt’? as in the Touhy case in Chicago. There, gangster Roger Touhy had demanded that certain FBI reports be produced in court, and the justice department had refused, 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 burden of proof was on him. Therefore, all the justice department risked in taking ‘‘a contempt’ was a $100 fine. In the Coplon case, on the other hand, Clark continued, the justice department 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 attorney general was right. He added that publication of the FBI papers in court was now water over the dam, but he would be dead opposed to producing the ‘‘top secret’ document. Clark Agrees Clark said he heartily agreed, and that if the judge ruled this report had to be published, then he would appeal to a higher court and if overruled there, then he would move to dismiss the case. (Since then, Judge Reeves has ruled that this top-secret document was not to be produced.) The conversation was completely cordial throughout, as have been relations between Hoover Clark ever since Clark became attorney general. and . NEW ROOSEVELT THREAT. It looks as if there is to be another Franklin D., Roosevelt in the American political picture, like it or not. The big build-up for Junior is on and he starts off with this advantage or: handicap, all depending on your viewpoint: He looks screens like popper. He is what might be called ‘‘a spittin’ image.” dennis eimai 7 Even if it makes you wince, there is no escaping the fact that all these things shape up into an appeal to millions of American voters.

Gregory Peck, Bette Davis, Ginger Rogers, Robert TayGREGORY PECK lor, Barbara Stanwyck, Wanda Hendrix, Ray Milland, Walter Huston and many others have been starred on the theatre. 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 impressive, as usual. Thousands of feet of on-thespot action for “The Big Wheel”? were obtained at the Indianapolis races last Memorial day. Mickey Rooney, after finishing ‘‘Quicksand”’ goes right inte this auto racing film, with Kina Romay. 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 owt whether there really was a hidden room somewhere under it. James Melton will take a combined 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. , One of the prettiest items owned by the wardrobe department at Warner Bros. is a rose-point lace bridal veil—has a sweep of 10 yards, is valued at $3,000.

The Fiction Corner HE-MAN'S CODE By Richard H. Wilkinson NDY had sensitive eyes and delicate hands but Leonie, born and bred a westerner of pioneer stock, was human. She loved him. It wasn’t until after they were married that she discovered he was a physical coward. ee She found out the night of Serena Boone’s engagement party. Tony Swift was there. As usual he was drunk. He was a handsome devil, this Tony, tall and bronzed and reckless. He had been Leonie’s childhood sweetheart. Folks «Minute . said she would Fiction have married him if it weren’t : for his drinking. The first thing Tony saw when he came through the door was Leonie and Andy dancing together. A scowl crossed his face. Then he laughed. When they whirled past him he stepped up and whacked Andy on the back. “Tony’s cut,’’ he grinned. ‘‘Make way for a man.’’ Leonie flushed. Andy hesitated, looked at Tony, then gave way smiling. ‘‘Sure thing,’’ he said. ‘‘Your dance, Tony.”’ As soon as she could, without appearing too obvious, she asked Andy to take her home. There she accused: ‘“‘Why did you let him insult you? Oh, the shame of it!’’ Andy was startled and _ bewildered. ‘‘Let ‘who insult me, honey.”’ ‘“‘Who?’’ She stared at him. ‘“‘Tony Swift, of course! I was never so humiliated in my life.’’ “Tony? Oh, you mean because of what he said? Shucks, honey, Tony didn’t mean anything. He was drunk.” The appalling truth flashed across Leonie’s brain in that moment. Andy was a coward! He’d been afraid of Tony, which was why he evaded the issue! With a little whimpering cry she turned and ran sobbing from the room. A week later, on Saturday night, Andy stopped by at Seth Lancey’s store to see Seth on a matter of business. A couple of boys from his mine were there, drinking at the bar. Minutes later, talking with Seth, he heard a rumpus out front. Investigating’ he discovered that two boys were engaged in a brawl with three men from the Bar V cattle ranch. Andy stood by and ‘watched a while. Others joined in. It began to look as though the place would be wrecked. Andy got out of there. Leonie heard about it the next day. That settled things for her. NDY was bewildered and unhappy. The next day he found himself brooding over the situation. By mid-afternoon he could stand it no longer. Leaving Noah Tait in charge of operations, he drove home. As he strode up the walk he heard a cry. He burst open the door and found Tony Swift trying to kiss his wife. Tony wasn’t drunk. He was babbling something about Leonie really loving him. Tony whirled at the sound Andy made. His lip curled. ‘‘Oho! The sissy from Bos——’’ Andy strode across the floor. His face was black. ‘I guess,” he said bitterly; ‘‘you’re dumb, after all. You need teaching.” He struck out. Tony tried to dodge, but ‘Andy’s fist clipped him on the chin so hard that he went down. ‘Damn you!’’ He lunged, but jerked him to his feet and hit him again. He hit him a third time and a fourth. Blood covered Tony’s face. Tony whimpered for mercy. Andy dragged him to the door and threw him out. “Andy!”’ Leonie fled into his arms. ‘Oh, my darling, you were wonderful! Oh, precious, forgive me for what I said. Andy, why didn’t you do that before—that night at the dance?” Andy frowned. “Why, shucks, honey, I don’t like to fight. Don’t you see? He was drunk then. There was no need.’”’ Leonie laid her head on his shoulAndy wasn’t where he expected. der. ue see, darling. Of course Andy’s fist flashed out again, and I see. again Tony went down.
