Mshingliftv, MERRY-GO-ROUND Klj O OREW PEARSON t r~*- -- '. * *' Washington, D. C. WAR IN SO I'Til AMERICA Most Americans have been so fngrossed in tho World War that if you told them war was brewing right here in tho Western Hemi sphere, they never would believe it. Vet buzzing backstage in the Washington diplomatic corps has been a growing, worrying reverbera tion over the ultimate danger of war between Argentina and Chile —not this > ear, perhaps not next year, but before very King. Additional attention was f eused on the un'\ipp> situation with Ar gentina's bi.l I r a eo: • tonee of Fan-American f> rcgn mi: ist* r— on an ohvs as rr.ove to i i.t tho V. S.

Ilcdy I.amarr's for mer husband. Fritz Mandel. the Austrian munitions king, about whom "Idiot's Delight" was written, is busy building air planes for Argestina night and day. 2 Argentina could bomb Santiago, capital of Chile, from Mendoza. just across the Andes, in ID minutes. It would take five hours for Chile to bomb liucnos Aires, capital of Argentina. 3 The people of Chile today are worried sick over Argen tina. The Socialist, Communist and Conservative parties, usual ly vigorously divergent, are now united on this. They fear that the Argentine Fascists, looking for means of keeping themselves in power, as llitler did with the (.erman people, will make a Czechoslovakia out of Chile. Brazilians Admire Argentina. Other Latin Americans are di vided Paraguuv, Bolivia, Peru .sym pathize with Brazil d ■ s not. But a. ?•;«'.>• the Brazilian «rmy, pi.; many of ti.e Brazilian people, are r iot:ng sym pathetienlly f r t!:e one country south of t! o Ri • Grande which has successfully l lumbed its nose at the Colossus cf the North and got away with it. Nothing succeeds like success, especially in the Latin American mind. The state department adopted only halfway measures with Argen tina; snubbed her diplomatically, but made h-. r prosperous economi cally by continuing to buy moat The Argentines didn't care much If they were snubbed as long as they were prosperous. Result is that many "good neigh bors," though not liking Argentine Fascism, enjoy seeing U S. diplo macy come to grief. NOTE Meanwhile, the United States is less equipped to handle things in our own hemisphere than ever before in two decades. Secre tary Hull is sick. His best Latin American experts were friends of Sumner Welles and were given the gate after Weiles resigned. • t • CONCERNING THE WAR'S END A lot of people have tried their hand at predicting the war's end, including this columnist. Some were high-up oflicials, some private prog nosticates Some were pretty gcod, some pretty bad. Rep. Earl Wilson. Indiana Repub lican, in June, 1343, got an aver age compilation from 140 congress men that the war would be over in October, 1944. Adm. William F Halsey, who pre dicted "complete, absolute defeat for the Axis in 1943," was asked again, on December 13. 1943, and "wasn't so sure when the war would be over." Gen. "Hap" Arnold, chief of the air forces, on February 14, 1943, pre dicted "the German war will be over by February 14, 1944."' Jim Farley, on January 20, 1943, "The war will be over this year." Gen. Levin Campbell, January 15, 1943—"The war will be over in about two years." Herbert Hoover, November 6, 1943 —"Certainly we are now in the last stages of the war." Raymond Moley, November 8, 1943, predicted end of the war "ear lier than envisioned by the adminis tration." Senator O'Mahoney, Wyoming Democrat, January 2, 1944: "The most conservative Swedish observ ers do not believe that Germany can endure beyond next June." Sun Fo, president of the legis lative Yuan of China, January 2, 1944: "Germany will be knocked out between the spring and summer of this year." Henry Ford, March 20, 1944, pre dicted war would be over in two months. Senator McKellar of Tennessee July 21, 1944: "The Red army will be in Berlin in 60 days. The war will be over on all fronts in six months." Congressman May, Democrat, Kentucky, July 28, 1944: "Germany will capitulate by December 1." THE n.VNBITRY REPORTER. DANRITRY. N. C.. TTHKSOW.

Notes of an Innocent Bystander: The Moom Pitchers: Lana Turn cr, whose marriages are always headlined, row appears in "Mar riage Is a Private Affair."

A postwar theme is handled ! «habbi!y in "My Buddy," making 1 it the first atrocity of peace. . . . i "Murders in the Blue Boom" searches for goosopimples and gets lost in a deep yawn. . . .

Ila-IIallywnod: It happened on the MGM lot. A woman writer from New York saw a Red Cross mobile unit parked in front of one of the studios. She hadn't been to the blood bank in quite a spell and she thought this would be a good time j to donate. As a nurse checked on her his tory, it was discovered that the would-be blood giver was not an MGM employee. The nurse consulted with the in terne, the interne consulted with the doctor and the doctor pondered with his hand to chin. "I guess it won't hurt," he? finally decided, "but please keep it under your hat. We are not supposed to take anything on this trip but Metro blood." It was at a cocktail party in Wash ington. A dowager asked a British Major: "What about the privileged classes in England?" "I presume, madam," was his dead-pan reply, "you are speaking of your countrymen, because at the present time the only privileged class in England %re the Ameri cans." True Story: A Navy officer writes us that a Naval hospital held a con test among the patients to find out how many could pick Betty Gra ble's legs out of a batch of leg pic tures. The only one who could identify them was a chaplain! Add public service: NBC's pro gram, "World's Great Novels," which dramatizes the best litera ture. . . .
