James (her parents, Betty Grable and Harry James think there never was a baby like her) is now a year old. . . . Ben Begeaus calling Dolores Moran on the “Too Young to Know” set about six times a day. , . . Louise Albritten under notice to vacate her apartment by March L While making a scene with Bette Davis in “Stolen Life,” Glenn Ford dropped his wedding ring into a studio tank. He stayed at the studio until 11 o'clock, when the tank was drained, to retrieve it. Incidentally, the Davis picture, oh which Bette also is serving as producer, is two days ahead of schedule, and Jack Warner couldn’t be happier. En route to M-G-M’s location for "They Were Expendable,” Mat. Frank Pershing (nephew of General Pershing) and Lt. Col. William Neff, both now in the inactive ranks, got off the train in Jacksonville, Fla., to find a restaurant. The proprietor took one look at their heavy beards, being grown for the picture, and called the police. He thought they were escaped Nazis from a near-by prison camp. Is this irony? Actor Craig Reynolds, whose leg was terribly crushed at Guadalcanal (it's okay now) isn’t eligible for a Purple Heart because the wound didn’t bleed. He could have (but didn’t) claim the award for a scratch on his finger sustained in an earlier engagement. Craig, who has had a hard time getting started again in Hollywood, is working at Monogram in Kay Francis’ picture, "Divorce.” Hats off to Kay and to this studio for remembering a war hero who, as it happens, also is a darned good actor.

FALL OF GREAT (Continued From Page One) tween Cologne and the Dusseldorf crossings 20 miles to the north. Twenty to 30 miles beyond Duesseldorf, the U. S. ninth and the Canadian first were crushing the last major German bridge- ’ head west of the Rhine. There the Germans still were struggling . desperately to extricate the survivors of their first paratroop army through a narrowing bottleneck centered around the Wesel . road and railway bridges. The Canadians on the north and the Yanks on the south and west squeezed in the sides of the Wesel passage to less than ten miles and opened a murderous barrage on the troop-choked bridges. Both Wesel bridges were badly cratered by bomb and shell hits and field dispatches indicated the Nazis were abandoning the bulk of their armor and heavy equipment west of the river. The 11 other Rhine bridges southward to Duesseldorf were known or authoritatively reported to have been wrecked by the fleeing enemy, and only three of the eight ferry crossings in the area were still operating last night. All three were believed within range of American guns this morning, meaning that thousands more would be added shortly to the list of almost 100,900 Germans killed, woumled or captured in the present offensive. 0 6,286 Airplanes Were Produced In February Washington, March 6 —(UP)— The war (Production board announced today that 6,286 airplanes were accepted in Felbruary.
