Who's News This Week By Debs Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated F«»turt«.—WNU Rtltuc, NEW YORK. Five times now Viscount Waldorf Astor ha» been elected mayor of English Plym outh; and since no one claims to ... .... have been Plymouth'! Mayor dedicated HOB 2 Terms Up to his re «■«•'"»" Z^SWS our President Roosevelt in office. Astor would have been a rank- ' Ing member of the Park Avenue set here if his father hadn't grown bippy over flaws in our economic system and popped off to London. Ennoblement fol lowed, the more easily, perhaps, because of American millions taken along. Besides being Plymouth's semi permanent mayor, the viscount is the quieter half of the conjugal part nership completed by the one-time glamour girl and always remarka ble Nancy Langhorne of Virginia. They have five children and maybe it was the feeding of the five that started Astor's present interest in nutrition. Most people who plump for food reform are lean, and so is the viscount, a rangy, self conscious fellow 64 years old but looking younger. Oxford is his university. There be played polo, ran in steeplechase races and grew expert with the saber. His wealth Is still great, thanks to the fur-bearing Jacob, founder of all Astor fortunes. —♦ A BRITISH admiral has been say ** ing that only three good things ever came out of Germany . . . music, sausages and Marlene Die , „ , , trich. He A Keg Is the Last win, doubt- Thing Dietrich's less, grant Outline Retemblea the Scandinavians, produced good music. And Homer sang of sau sages centuries before any Germafls thought of even so simple a skin game. But on Dietrich he is as right as rain. Although she has lived here for 13 years, she is Berlin born, and as uniquely German as a keg of Pilsener. But not Nasi. When she was naturalized four years ago Goebbels read her right out of the Reich. A little trip into the thesaurus might have uncovered several bet ter words than that "keg." Burgess Meredith never would have said of a keg, as he did of Miss Dietrich, that he wished all women looked like her. Just when Miss Dietrich was born in Berlin is not at hand. However, she was married in 1924 to Franz Seiber, and she has an 18-year-old daughter, a recent bride. So her age must be about . . . Yep! Just about! U not exactly. Miss Dietrich used to be a stormy petrel. Once she and Garbo had their knives out. Once she was in Mae West's hair. And she made more than one director back up. But she has been swinging less often from the floor since she made her come-back on those famous under pinnings, singing "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have." Late ly, helping sell Victory bonds, she has been singing, "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Give." —♦ — IN GREEN lofty Bogota, President Alfonso Lopez Y Pumarejo has reorganized his cabinet. By shrewd compromise, he probably hopes to prevent United States Hob repetition of Staunch Friend in Axis -i n - Colombia'* Chiel All Liberal factions now are includ ed in the set-up. Like liberals everywhere, the Liberals of Colombia differ greatly in degree. President Lo pez is farther to the left than many. He has pressed . . . sometimes against opposition in his own party . . . reforms in social legislation, taxation, edu cation; in fact he initiated many of them during his previous in cumbency. For he has' been prisident befort ... '34 to '3B. Not trusting to any second, or third term tradition the Colombian constitution forbid? successive elections. So in '3B Dr Eduardo Santos came in, but in 1942, in his*s6th year, Lopez camt back. The United States is fortunate to have him. A thorough-going democrat, he is also our thor ough-going frleno. He came here in his youth, after classical stud ies at Oxford, to investigate business administration. He did not enter politics until aftei his marrage in 1912 to Dona n>iaria Michelsen; he has had a fling at banking and at newspapering. He comes from a wealthy banking fam ily. After serving in the Colombian house of representatives, he devoted himself to elec ting Dr. Enrique Her rcra, the first Liberal president ol Colombia in 1930. Later Lopez served Herrera, as minister to Lon don and delegate to the League ol Nations. He has visited this coun try often since study iijg here, nota bly in August of 1942.

Claude Haina is the head skulker, but his chills run sec ond to the trills . .. . "Behind the Rising Sun" is grim stuff about the war against the Japs. Its barbari ties were authenticated by Corre spondent James Young, who lived among the beheaders for years. Margo and Don Douglas are the pair who stir up the Japs' furies. The Dials: The AFL urged NBC to muzzle Kaltenborn because of his severe jabs at labor unions. The network, however, permits him to continue expressing his opinions freely, even if they irk you or me . . . The best answer to any oral attack, as the AFL probably will agree, is not suppression, but facts. When civil liberties go down the drain so will labor's . . .

After seeing the preview in H'wood he came out muttering: "I've thrown away a fortune!" . . . Garbo has given iifrto*Ernest'Pascal's pleading to go to London and star in Shaw's "St. Joan." From the Irish Echo: "Premier De Valera of Eire succeeded, after considerable time and effort, in mak ing Hitler pay for the restoration of a synagogue in Dublin which had been destroyed by Nazi airmen when they bombed the city a couple of years ago. Mr. De Valera acted in fulfillment of a promise to the Jews of Eire that their lives and property would be protected by the govern ment against the acts of any enemy of the country."

In the film, "Spitfire," the late Leslie Howard (who perished in a plane) says: "What's the use of inventing planes? They only kill people!" . . . L.H.R. of the Times records this nifty: "Washington is a place where everyone is welcome but no one is missed." His chains enjoy relating this about lovable Barney Baruch, whose counsel is often sought by statesmen . . . Baruch is hard of hearing and wears a device which is connected with some dry batteries concealed in a coat pocket. These batteries are hard to get nowadays—so when Ba ruch is buttonholed by a bore o' some time-waster, he reaches into 'tis pocket and disconnects the bat •.eries by merely pushing the "Off" >utton . . . The bore keeps raving iway, but Baruch doesn't hear a .hing.

Odd Wedding Costumes Weddings among the Maori na tives of New Zealand are a lot of fuss and feathers, principally feathers. The bride and bride groom look like huge birds with human heads when they are decked out to "plight their troth." The man's garb is made of kiwi, pigeon and parrot feathers; the girl's entirely of kiwi feathers. Just in case anyone objects to the union, the bridegroom totes as a weapon a pole of hard wood, dec orated with a carved head and wild dogs' hair.
