Swiss Youth Fighting Openly For Ideals of Democracy

BERNE, Switzerland.-Among Europe's S. S. and S. A. troops, Iron Guardists, Sons of Wolves, Fascist organisations, and Communist guards, there is one organisation of politically elite young men who are fighting openly for the ideals and the methods of democracy with the weapons of propaganda and mass psychology.

Viennese Star Shuns “Glamour,"

Prefers Her Hollywood Ranch

By HALSEY RAINES

A reticently alluring young lady with raven-black tresses, who. suggests the Helen or Annabel of Edgar Allan Poe's lyric culogics, is Hollywood's number one 1941 exponent of the Viennese tradition. She is lissome and languorous Hedy Lamarr, whose twin hobbies are raising chickens and painting fences around her acro-and-a-hale California "ranch" and who is now! co-starred with James Stewart, Judy Garland and Lana Turner in M-G-M'a forthcoming "Ziegfeld Girl."

Miss Lamarr's pet dislike is the by now somewhat shopworn phrase. "glamour girl." She doesn't like it to be directed at her, and she feels it's apt to be sort of boomerang compliment wherever used. Hor in- sistent appeals to play comedy rather than clotheshorss parts led to her appearance as an overalied Sovlet motorwoman and a back-to- the Pennsylvania-farm girl in her latest two parts.

The young Austrian star's strn-i plicity of manner is utterly genuine. She went to America with notsy and effusive publicity grenndes ex- plading about her at every turn; she dodged reporters whenever possible, but won the reputation of being a model subject whenever anj Interview was granted; she survived) the ordeal of belig elected 1940 Class Day favourite by a score of American colleges; and she kept; right buying three day-old chicks for that miniature Tyrolean fari.
