Wonder how our glamor girls will feel about Julien Duvivier's selection of the 10 most beautiful women in Hollywood. Duvivier is a noted French director now doing the Rainer picture at M. G. M. He selects: Claudette Colbert, Danielle Darrieux, Madeleine Carroll, Marlene Dietrich, Merle Oberon, Hedy LaMarr, Greta Garbo, Luise Rainer, Sonja Henie and Simone Simon. Not one of these is American born.

La Rainer, incidentally, seems to be making a clean sweep of things that would remind her of Clifford Odets. She is giving up her apartment, for which she had furniture specially made, and is moving into a house at Pacific Palisades. She likes it particularly, she says, because it is surrounded by wild strawberry plants. Uliana flies to Wichita, Kas., to give a concert in a 5,000-seat auditorium.

Despite the opinion of many of its members that increased rates will offer little, if any, material gain, the interstate commerce commission authorized roads in the eastern half of the United States to increase their passenger rates from 2 to 264 cents per mile. Opinion is divided on the effect ! of the decision. The railroads estimate that they will receive a j maximum of $30,060,000 additional i levenue annually. Chairman Jesse ; Jones of the reconstruction finance i corporation said the roads “undoubtedly” would be helped “substantially.” But Commissioner Claude R. Porter dissented vigorously from this opinion. He said: “At a time when the country has seen the most precipitous decline in business in its history, and to an extremely low level, when the carriers are confronted by the intense competition afforded by 25,000.006 private automobiles. 44.000 buses, and with constantly'increasing traffic by air, they seek to raise their passenger fares in coaches 25 per cent. “No other industry in the throes of a depression and in the face of vigorous competition seeks to raise the price of what it sells to the public. It may be that the railroads are immune from ordinary economic laws. I doubt it.” , Commissioner Joseph B. Eastman ( former federal coordinator of transportation, reiterated his previous opinion that the increase is more likely to harm than help the roads. It is “folly,” he said, to interrupt! a “remarkably successful” drift of t passenger traffic created by the I

The majority of the commission, however, did not concur with Eastman, and stated in its opinion yesterday that “it seems clear that the fare basis which will yield the greatest possible revenue can be determined with reasonable assurance only through the ‘trial and error’ method."
