THE WEATHERMAN, Wallace A. Bertrand, who works for Uncle Sam, not Omar Bakery, has been good to us this month. Went over to tell him so. Poor guy almost lost the power of speech. The way he #¢ted, 1 thought the February sun had affected him. It never occurred to me that a weatherman would flip. his lid ‘because someone came in to speak kind words. Mr. Bertrand wore his usual half-smile flecked with nimbus formations. After 22 years of prognosticating the weather, a man has reason to be a bit leary of visitors# Carrying a ‘pencil and notepaper, yet.

+ you.”

If you know Mr. Bertrand, you know he isn’t a small man and his jaw goes wel with the rest of him. It dropped about six inches. Then it went up and down a few times. “Well ...ah...er...you,.,.won't.. go Bb & MY OLD FRIEND obviously was in need of something to clear his throat and loosen his

The situation was serious, Fate had turned my path to the fifth floor of the Federal building in the nick of time and the fifth floor of the Federal building was as good a place as any to open a flask of Martel, which I carry, for choking weathermen.

makes me feel good ... gulp... (he was gulping air) even though we aren't really responsible for the weather.” The flask of Martel was replaced in the secret compartment in the heel of my shoe. His throat was in good shape. “Won't “you sit down?” Mr. Bertrand- moved

NEW YORK, Feb. 28—Judy Garland, a human being, has become to Broadway within the past few weeks, a kind of goddess. I don't use the term recklessly. & Today the big news was that Betty Hutton and Beatrice Lillie will eventually follow Judy into the Palace—but Judy's tingling closing Sun. night, amid tears and shouts like they used to save for Al Jolson, won't be forgotten quickly by any of us who were there. “What'll I sing?” Judy asked after she'd sung for an hour. “‘Auld Lang Syne’ ” called out some sentimental one. “You sing it to me. I'm tired<f singing. Come on—you sing it to me,” yelled back Judy. And so they did, the whole audience; which had got to its feet in a salute. The celebrities, too—Faye Emerson, ) Winters, Phil Silvers—they all sang to the litle girl wearing the funny wig and the sloppy shoes, She stood there in a rumpled old wrapper, and with dirt on her face and her cheeks in her hands. She almost held back the tears while they were doing this _strange thing—singing to a singer. eS HS 2 FOR THE FIRST TIME. Judy introduced her beau and manager, Sid kuft. “They want to meet you, too,” she called to him softly from the footlights, and sid, sitting on the first row, arose bashfully for a bow. It's

believed they’ll be married early in April.

Backstage later, they embraced, and I heard her tell him, “You were stunning.” Over 20 weeks Judy played 184 performances to an estimated 280,000 peofile who paid $800,000 plus taxes. Por little Judy took about $400,000 of that, It's official now that Judy’s as great as—if not greater than—Jolson. You know how I know? There was a hard-bitten professional photographer in front of me. He was so moved by the mass emotional outburst that he stopped snapping pictures, just to applaud Judy. When the tough people in the audience do that, the race is over. <o oO b ; THE MIDNIGHT EARL . .. The new chic dining trick is “toasted ice cream” which Joe Cowan always orders at 21.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28—There seems to be a considerable dogfight in progress here in New York state over the Metcalf-Hatch Bill, which is simply a measure to allow the state to drain the animal pounds of their strayed or unlicensed animals for use in medical research. Dogs that would be destroyed unless claimed , would go to qualified laboratories for experimentation. Right here is as far as you have to go for the howl to arise; and not from the animals. I can think offhand of no more potent small lobby than the anti-vivisectionists, vvho have made a large hue and ery ever since I can remember about torture chambers,_and poor little Fido and the unfeeling brutes who sadistically tied him down and chopped him up—for fun, I guess, or so the anti-vivs would have it. «2 RIGHT HERE I must say that the personal record is clear on dogs. I am dog poor. Nobody Is taking any pooch of mine off to any pound, or to any laboratory, except over the cold carcass of the master of the hounds. But my beasts are licensed and eat better than I do and crowd me out of the sack and are not public charges. But a dog needs a great deal of care and understanding to be a worthy member of society. Unfortunately, as soon as you turn him loose without proper care he fares ill. I can think of no more miserable living animal than a displaced dog, because, while persons do not always need a dog, there never ‘has been a dog that didn’t need a person. o SO

THE MANGY,. starved and bedraggled mutt that winds up in. the dogcatcher’s wagon has one fate—death unless. claimed. That's the best deal he can make—useless death and valueless disposal. So I can’t find any holes in the new bill, which is meeting the usual violent opposition,

. to legalize the use of impounded animals as ex-

perimental fodder. There is no threat to pets. The dogs aren't tortured in the labs. They are excellently fed and tended, and are invariably anesthetized when they are .operated on.. Those that’ die in the process are no deader than they would be if they wére destroyed in a pound. There's no point in dwelling lengthily on the advance in medical science that might have been impossible without the experimental use of animals. Anesthesia itself, the iron lung, ACTH, and insulin are just a tiny few boons to mankind that were developed through animal experiment. I believe only 30 dogs died to make insulin possible, and maybe some million-plus diabetics are alive this moment as a result, * oO o> .

In 1948, it dipped to five below. “You know, good weather is weather that agrees with the forecast,” said Mr. Bertrand. “Just for today, let's leave well enough alone.

Anti-Vivisectionists Are Howling Again

shocie-2 and-wound healing are seriously delayed and in some cases abandoned for lack of animals, It seems to me that the long and bitter fight of the anti-vivs against progress is merely an impassioned work of the crank—not a kindness to the animal so much as a cruelty to the human. But it persists, and has killed this and similar bills before. A very potent minority always has played on a susceptible American fondness for dumb animals, to make a mawkish point of the boy and his dog at the expense of the boy’s—and other boy’s—eventual welfare. I notice that one group in Westchester County is circulating ‘a yellow dodger of complete untruths ahd half-truths, intimating that if dogs are taken from pounds (where their presence stamps them as waifs) the kidnaping of children is next on the agenda by the!state. The handbill also alleges that the dogs will be seized by the state from private property, a vicious untruth. “No part (of the children’s property) should be subject to confiscation by the state. Let's cherish freedom. Stress this point, and make your wishes as soon as possible to your legislators . . . let us never descend to the status of the people in conquered countrie The cheapest hogwash, sure, but part of a contrived setback to general welfare merely out of misguided fanaticism-—the kind of wild-eyed wackiness that caused one youthful anti-vivi-sectionist to attempt to murder a California scientist with a rifle because he heard the doctor was using dogs in his work.

portant.”—From the-Sayings of Mr. James Durante. : By GENE FOWLER

THE YEARS from 1938 to 1943 were to be lean ones, touched with heartache, for the Schnozzla. °*

The Durante money began to fade away but his wife"

Jeanne, sick and despondent, did not want to sell her real

estate: holdings in California; nor did Jimmy ask her to do so. Jeanne's long periods of {llness and mental depression made her quite irritable.

One day late in November of 1942 Jimmy's patience became strained. He had words with Jeanne, then left the house— without /saying where he was going. He sought out Lou Clayton at the Hillcrest Country Club, “Get me a ticket to New York and a little money if you can find it. I'm gonna forget everythin’ and cool off. And to hell with it.” “Does Jeanne know?” “I packed a grip on the sly, and I got it out there with the

doorman.’ . $ ~ ~ ” l “IF THAT'S the way you want it,” Lou replied, "that's

the way it's gonna be.” Durante got on the train in Los Angeles to find almost everyone in a gay mood. Jimmy shut himself in his compartment but soon got restless and went to the dining car. He was unable to eat.

Then he went to the club car, but he could not enter into the merry spirit of passengers on their way east. The Schnozzola retired to his compartment, took off his clothes, and lay down; but he could not sleep.

In recollecting this incident Durante says, “I'm askin’ myself, ‘What the hell? She's sick there in the house. What am I doin’? What am I runnin’ away from? What's the matter with me? Somethin’ might happen. ” “I'm sayin’, ‘It ain't her fault. I shouldn't have got mad. I shouldn't have argued with her. And a man can’t run away from anythin'.” Durante put on his clothes. The train stopped over for 10

No, I won't call up. The hell with it. I go back and forth to the telephone, - wantin’ so bad to call, but never callin’,

“And I-hear 'em yell out, ‘All aboard.’ But I stand tFere with no hat, and I watch ‘the train pull out, and it’s a funny feelin’. If I'd been a drinker, I'd of got drunk as ap outlet. But no, I had to run away on a train, and now the train is runnin’ away from me. And there's no escape, because a man has got to face everythin’, includin’ hisself.” Durante hired an automobile to take him back to Los Angeles, He arrived home during the early morning before dawn.

Jeanne awakened, and when -

Durante embraced her she said, “Gee, Tootis, I'm so glad you got home before daybreak.” Soon after New Year's of 1943 Clayton had a heart-to-heart talk with Jim. “Let's face it. You are slipping in the pub-

- lic mind. Soon it will mean cur-

tains, You. could easily see to it that Jeanne is taken care of by nurses while you go out and make some money. Jim, the Copacabana wants you, and New-York wants you. You simply must do a couple of weeks in the East.”

"YOU SEE every place you've been with somebody you love."

When Clayton informed the Schnozzola of two weeks of radio and night club bookings in New York for a total of $11,000, Durante seemed indifferent. He explained that Jeanne objected to his leaving her; that she was unable to travel East with him. Later that day Jeanne asked, “Tootis, are you worrying a lot over that offer?” “Well,” "sald Jim, pay some bills. in

“If you leave me this time, Jim, you will never see me alive again.” Durante looked at her in a shocked way. “Don’t say that, Jeanne. Please don't say that.

I want you to go.” Clayton saw Durante off on the train. “After the first show, Jimmy, call me and let me know how it goes. If you bog down, T will fly East, put on my old shoes again, and go out on the floor and dance. I've wired Jackson in Akron to join up with you and Roth ih New York.” v » ” ” DURANTE registered at the Hotel Astor three days before the opening date at the Copa-

cabana. His first radib show as a guest for the Camel, cig. aret sponsor was well received. After the broadcast Jimmy called Jeanne. She sald, “I liked the program, Jimmy, It was very good.” “Are you all right?” “Yes, Mother is here with me, and Maggie, and I'm so glad.” Jimmy enjoyed his first night's sleep in some weeks, Early the next morning the phone rang beside his bed. Durante stirred resentfully. He had left word not to be awakened till 1 o'clock in the after noon.

Jeanne's mother was on the telephone, She seemed very much confused but managed to say that her Jeanne was dead. She hung up before Jim could talk, » For some moments Durante lay back in his bed with the receiver to his ear. He kept calling into the transmitter, “What? What? What?” ” » ~ JEANNE'S funeral was held Feb. 17, 1043. After the funeral Clayton went home with Due rante. Jimmy behaved in a dazed fashion. He went from room to room, stood in front of Jeanne's pictures, opened closets to look at Jeanne's things and would not go to bed.

“You know, it's a funny thing,” Lou said. “Durante says, you see every place. you've been with somebody you love; you go down to Palm Springs, you wander back in thoughts to the lake and how you stopped at the pea soup place, and where you bought the dog, and Arrowhead and Clear Lake, and all them other places, You don’t even look- for new places when you go around. Just the places you liked when you used to go out, to eat or stroll along, and you find yourself going’ back to them.” The public knew nothing of Jimmy Durante’s burdens, Laughing strangers care little about the private woes of their clowns.

Can't Test Pilots For Good Judgment

By WADE JONES Sine ~ Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 28—A goodly number of the 50 passengers aboard a crack Miami to New York airliner recently were reluctant participants in the pilot's attempt to set a new speed record between the two cities.

Boosted by a booming 160-mile-an-hour tail wind, the four-engine plane hit a speed at one point of 610 miles an hour, and this was through rough weather. People got sick. Coats and hats toppled down into the aisles from luggage racks. The two stewardesses had all they could do for a while just to keep the place in order.

For approximately one hour of the two-hour-and-55-minute trip, passengers were required to remain strapped in their seats —no smoking, no trips to the rest rooms. 2-8 a DURING all this the pilot jubilantly voiced over the intercom the plane's steady and spectacular. gain in speed, as well as his own hopes that the speed record could be broken. That might have been the way to try to establish a speed record, but it was no way to establish public confidence in air travel.

Unfortunately for the airlines and for the passengers who ride them, there is no way to test a pilot's judgment accurately and completely. - The airlines’ system of screening for judgment and ‘general competence is thorough and: exhaustive, but it .is not foolproof. on - » THEY have an agreement with the pilots’ union, for example, that they can fire a beginning co-pilot during the first year of his employment for almost any reason whatsoever. “We can fire him if we don’t like the color of his hair” says one airline official. This en-

EDITOR'S NOTE: Each succeeding air tragedy leaves aviation baffled. “It just doesn't make sense,” says a veteran pilot, who knows the pains taken on the ground and aloft to make air travel as safe as possible. Times Special Writer Wade Jones was already at work, before the latest crash, on an, exhaustive report on what the airlines and government agencies are doing to cut the toll of air disasters. Here's the third of four dispatches on aviation's paradox.

“ables t the airlines to weed out

co-pilots with undesirable, but sometimes hard-to-define character traits, and those believed to be lacking in some degree the intangibles of judgment. Capt. Fred V. Clark retired last year at 60 as a major airline pilot who had never had an accident or scratched a passenger in 33 years and 3 million miles of flying. o - ~ “MOST accidents,” Capt. Clark says flatly, “are caused by pilot carelessness.” The Civil Aeronautics Board has put it this way: “The possibility of -human error under great mental stress is well documented in air transport experience.” This error under stress was tragically demonstrated in the crash of an airliner near Mt, Carmel, Pa., in 1948, when all 43 people aboard, including famed showman Earl Carroll, were killed. From examination of the wreckage and from certain known facts, the CAB deter-

BUSIEST PORT IN THE WORLD— re : Pusan—The United Nation's Gateway To Korea

By DOUGLAS LARSEN Times Special Writer

PUSAN, Korea, Feb, 28—As the tempo of the fighting at the

front decreased in the past few months, the tempo of activity at this main supply point for the Korean theater has steadily increased. . Today Pusan Is the (busiest port in the world, In the jammed waterfront area thouands of Korean workers swarm over the scores of ships tied up to the docks; unloading their cargo of war materials directly on to trains for shipment to advanced divisions or to jammed supply points a little above Pusan, ” »

OUT 1n the harbor additional ships: gre either impatiently

waiting to move into a vacated

dock or are being unloaded by hundreds of ancient Korean barges. Up the way, apart from .the main dock area, ships are unloading thousands of tons of al kinds of ammunition.

It's a place where feverish actity goes on: seven a

week, and at night, too, under glaring lights, If total tonnage figures could be revealed they would stagger the imagination. And new docks to increase it are under construction.

Already enough barbed wire has come through Pusan to make a double apron fence completely around tne United States. Enough sand bags have been brought in to build a wall two feet thick and four feet high "across the wide waist of the Korean peninsula. " » ~

THE BOSS of this whole fan-
