BingAnb Bob Hit Road;
This Time It’s To Rio
-- ---
By ALINE MOSBY
HOLLYWOOD. Jan. 28 — (U.R) -
gob H-ooe and Bing Crosby have
hjt the road again, but this time
thev're down on their hands and
tnees shining up every inch of it.
It s the "Road io Rio” and Mea
ts Hope and Crosby are taking no
-nances that it'll look like a couple
c‘, 0,her roads to movie fans.
"Wo ve got our own dougb in
jtthis time,” explained Hope. "We
1 n-t risk a chance on the public
walking out.”
So the scenery for this ‘‘road’
,onna be different. No wise
'rack’ng camels nor talking fisli
L mountains that light up with a
blare of music into a Paramount
D'!n Even Dorothy Lamour will
'/V dark and sultry for the first
(,nie jjnce her South Sea Island
day®
"The only similarity to otner
road' pictures, living or dead.”
-id Hope, "will be a tricky end
■ , But we re not telling that to
anybody. Can’t afford to lose any
theater admissions.”
pyerytime Bob and Bing do a
■•road'’ movie they swear it will
he their last. No more travels,
they announced after "The Road to
Morocco.” We’re staying home.
Jhev insisted after the roads to
Zanzibar, and Singapore. That’s
•he end brother, they chorused af
ter "The Road to Utopia.”
But then Paramount looked at
the "road” box office score and
nudged Hope and Crosby gently
in their wallets. A share in the pic
wrp See. and a guaranteed hit
scrip tossed in.
Bin? and Bob, veteran investors
in baseball clubs and race horses,
know a good deal when they see
one So they’re off on the road
again.
This time they’re playing smart.
Neither will predict if this road
wii] be the finale.
"If we hear of another road we
haven’t been on 1 suppose we’ll
make a movie about it,” grinned
Hope*
In this "road,” Hope and Crosby
are two entertainers- named Scat
!n(j Hot Lips, who stowaway on
i boat to Rio. They cram Lamour
into a cello case and smuggle her
into a suite thfey tricked out of a
hotel manager.
"Everytime I miff a line Bob
howls, 'Hey. remember, this is
our money in the picture,’ ” she
said. . .
She tactfully refrains from point
ing out that between Hope’s radio
show and Crosby's golf tourna
ment the picture is a couple of
weeks behind schedule.
"After bouncing around in the
celio case and getting teased by
Bob and Bing between scenes I'm
going to be a wreck when this pic
ture's over,” Dottie said.
So is the script girl. By the
time Hope and Crosby get through
with a scene, the script is goon
only for the ashcan and the script
girl for a vacation.
"We think up our best gags be
fore the camera.” Hope explained.
"So after a scene the scr.pt girl
goes to an oxygen tent and the
writers look for another job.”

I The script girl. Claire Behnke
, said her job would be easier if
; Bing and Bob wouldn't try to out
do each other.
But if one of em ad libs a gari
then the other follows it up until
you’d never recognize the script,'
she sighed. “Today we took five
takes of one scene and each one
was different.”
I or instance, in . the scene we
watched Bob and Bing were sup
posed to walk into their hotel room
and tip the bellhop. Instead Bob
quipped. “What’s this, another
lobby? ’ and Bing came back
with, There d better be a fire
escape.” Hope kept one ahead by
shooting back, “What’re you beef
ing about, you’d holler if you were
hung with a new rope.”
Tries a girl's patience, it does,
observed the script girl.

Ownership Oflnbustry

By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American
Institute of Public Opinion
PRINCETON, N. J., Jan. 28 —
While countries like England and
France have been turning to gov
ernment ownership of basic in
dustries, the trend of public senti
ment in the United States has
been in the opposite direction.
Fewer Americans w>ant to see
the Federal government own rail

case a decade ago. Although slight
ly more would like to see the gov
ernment own the coal mines than
did in 1936, the number in favor
still constitutes a minority.
England’s Labor Government
has embarked on a sweeping pro
gram of nationalization of electric
power, coal mines, transportation
and other key industries. By con
trast the American workers, in
cluding those who belong to labor
unions, vote by a substantia] ma
jority in favor of continued
private ownership. In fact, the
viewpoint of the working man in
that respect is closer to that of
employers and business men than
in many issues.
The two groups, who so of
ten war over other matters,
agree in their allegiance to the
basic principle of private
ownership.
This is shown in the latest poll
by the Institute in which a true
[ cross-section of the country was
asked:
“Do you think the United States
government should own the follow
ing things is this country. —
Banks? Railroads? Coal mines?
Electric power companies?’’
Similar polls were conducted by
the Institute in 1945 and in 1936.
The trend follows:

the matter of government owner

the latest poll is given below in

electric power companies and

SYNOPSIS
Cliff Bogard risks his capital by
accepting the U. S. Rubber Di
vision's dangerous assignment to
open up virgin rubber plantations
in New Dixie, South America, a
kind of feudal colony which had
been founded by Americans before
the Civil War. When its present
head, domineering, old Claribel
Florian, had refused Cliff an
option, fearing it would stir up
tiouble with the Blacklanders, a
group of rebellious natives,
Washington had sent down at
tractive Janet Norman to
straighten things out. Janet knew
the territory, having been brought
up there by her late father, be
loved doctor of the community,
whose death had occurred during
a recent flood. Janet had her own
reason for coming back, and it was
sufficiently important to have
caused her to forge the credentials
she presented to Cliff. En route to
New Dixie from the coast, then
plane is forced down near the
jungle home of elderly Wade
Carroll, hunter of wild animals.
Wade discloses that no one knows
the identity of the Blacklanders’
new leader, whom the New Dixie
vaqueros have sworn to capture,
together with Vicente, his lieu
enant. Lilli, attractive young
native girl whom Wane adopted
when her parents died, has known
the latter since childhood. While
Wade prepares horses. Vicente
rides out of the jungle and warns
Clifr to give up the rubber project.
However, following a talk with
Janet, he permits them to continue
their journey, with the proviso they
tell no one of having seen him.
At Claribel’s mansion a servant
shows them to rooms. The
following morning Cliff noted the
cold dislike in their hostess’ eyes
as she greted Janet. Two years
before, Madison, Claribel’s beloved
nephew, had fallen in love with
Janet and followed her to the
States. Claribel begged Janet to
use her influence to make him re
turn, promising to do anything for
her if she succeeded. Janet turned
down Madison's proposal, and now,
v-hen Claribel refused to consider
the option, she reminded her of
that promise. Just as Claribel was
about to acquiesce, word arrives
that Vicente and his gang have
burned Cliff’s warehouse. Angered
that they did not inform her the
culprit was i n the neighborhood.
Claribel dispatches a messenger to
the range for Madison, and orders
Cliff and Janet to leave im
mediately.
CHAPTER TEN
' TURNING ON his heel, Cliff
walked to the window. Down in
the village the bell still tolled its
warning; crowds had gathered in
the streets, and at the far end of
the pasture men were frantically
saddling horses. His coming had
brought all this about, but it ceased
to conern him now he no longer
shared any part of it. He was done
—and for the first time in his life
he knew the frustration of defeat.
A low sigh beside him recalled
Janet, and at thought of her he
felt his anger revive.
Somberly he regarded her. The
morning sun was kindling a thou
sand points of fire in her bronze
hair, but her face was pale, and
the dark eyes shadowy with pain.
She was like a child punished with
out knowing why. and even in his
resentment Cliff felt a wave of
sympathy for her—whatever her
motive had been, she too was fac
ing the shattered wreckage of her
hopes.
She looked up at him. “What are
wo going to do now?” she whis
pered. “What can we do?”
“We’re going to pack.” In the
quiet room his voice sounded
sharper than he intended. “Why
don't you face it? You’re through.”
“Through.” Blankly she echoed
the word, then in the next breath
blazed at him in a flare of unhappy
anger. “And you’re glad I'm
through! Why don’t you say it?
You’re glad. You wanted me to fail
from the very start. You wanted
to believe that no woman on earth
knew' enough to help you.”
“You haven’t done much to
change my mind.”
She raised both hands to her
lips. ‘I never want to see you—”
She started for the door, but his
own hand closed on her arm.
“Wait!” He held her in her
tracks, w'hile she looked at him
out of eyes bright with tears but
too startled even for resentment.
“Quarreling W'on’t get us any
where.” he said slowly. “What
about this Madison? Who is he? ’
“Claribel’s nephew. Let go of my
arm.”
Cliff’s hand dropped to his side.
“Where does he fit in?”
“He manages everything for
Claribel—especially the herds of
cattle. He’s head of the Vaqueros.”
“He seems to be a trained seal
where you’re concerned. From
w’hat our charming hostess just
said, you have plenty of influence
with him.”
She frowned. "What about it?
He isn’t here.”
"But you heard her send a rider
to bring him in. You must know
someone who will get word to
Madison that you're down at
Wade's.”
"He couldn't possibly arrive be
fore the plane leaves.”
"It's worth a chance, isn't it?
What have we got to lose?” He
half pushed her toward the door.
"Try it. And if the old steam-roller
comes back. I'll delay things.”
Hope—even the faint hope that
lay in his words -brought a touch
of color to Janet's checks. She ran
from the room, and Cliff watched
her hurry down the path. Long
odds, but he was used to long odds.
A few minutes later Claribe
stamped in. “You still here?’ she
snapped.
“Still here, darling.”
They eyed each other as two
fencers might. There was a direct
ness and vitality about her that,
in spite of his anger, gave Cliff a
sense of kinship with the high
handed old matriarch. At least he
could understand her: she wasn't
withdrawn and unpredictable like
Janet Norman. She was a dragon,
but she was consistent, and he
could easily have liked her if
things had been different.
Cliff decided to make one last
effort. “When I rode up to this
house yesterday,” his slow voice
drawled, “the first thing I saw was
the American flag. That gave me a
big thrill. I had a feeling that who
ever flew that flag would be glad
to help the U. S. A.”
Still, talking about rubber, are
you?” Claribe! began gathering up
the papers on her desk.
“I am. So is the whole world.
Just now, rubber is almost as im
portant as food, especially the
high-grade stuff on your New
Dixie plantations. I wonder if you
know the importance of the thing
you’re blocking. Back in Washing
ton there are men who want to
make this continent self -sufficient
in rubber so that no other nation
can ever put the squeeze on us
and bring us to our knees as they
did during the war. I came here
to help them do that. It was my
chance to do something really big
for my country. And when I saw’
that flag outside your house, I
thought I could count on your
help.”
Claribel lifted a stubby hand.
“Before we all join in singing the
National Anthem, let me remind
you that I’m *-esponsible for what
happens here—not you. Under oth
er circumstances 1 would have let
you take all the rubber you want
ed, but today the Blacklanders
have a leader who has already
done away with some of my
Vaqueros. and I’ll take no chances
of starting a general feud with
them.”
“Then why don’t you haul down
that American flag and hoist a
white one? You make me ashamed
—an American woman bluffed by
a handful of bandits.”
He expected the blue eyes to
glisten, but instead she gave a
throaty chuckle. “You wouldn’t be
trying to rile an old lady into
changing her mind, w’ould you, Bo
gard? It’s your kind that stirs up
most of the world’s troubles.”
“I’d hate to spend my life dodg
ing trouble.”
“From all I’ve heard, you spend
it looking for trouble—and I must
say you’re in good company.”
“You mean Miss Norman?”
“Who else? That girl’s a men
ace.”
Cliff laughed. “She’s a rabbit if
I ever saw one.”
This time Claribel's blue eyes
snapped. “As a judge of human
nature, you're not better than most
men. Janet Norman is, a thorough
ly cold-blooded, calculating minx
just the kind you men go off the
deep end for. Madison’s been per
fectly ridiculous about her for
years—and she encourages him.
When she went back to the States,
she got him to follow her, and
when I told her I’d cut him off
