Tne man who thus had the nerve to snap his lingers in the lace of the big iive is young Cuban ambassador Guillermo Belt, v.no is accustomed to doing things that lequire ccurage. Liected Player of Havana at the pheno menal age of 27, Belt has been on the politi cal liring line ever since, including one hot campaign he waged against ex-prtsidentBa-tasisUi, the strong man of Cubam Baiuta won that' election, following which most of the leaders who opposed mm fled to Miami. Mot so Guillermo Belt, the strong man, he re mained in Havana to be the President's most vigorous critic, walking through the streets v.-uhout bodyguard. Eventually Batista, who aamired courage, offered Belt a place in his cOinet, which he declined. . It was at the San Francisco conference that the Beit first began his attack on tki veto. He has continued the battle ever since, des pite the h.ct that "certain governrmnt of ficials of the Western Powers" have urged him net to press for a roll call on this dynamite-laden issue in New York. Perhaps the Russians will waib cut of the United Nations if their right to block any action they don't like is taken away," says the young embassador." But if so. I believe it is better to know it now instead of later." Most Latin Americans are strong for the Cuban proposal. Only Brazil so far remains noncommittal. Outside of Latin America, el even countries have also expressed their sup port, end Belt figures that it he can hold these 31 vots through the roll call, the veto power may be doomed. Ambassador Belt apologizes for - his blunt candor at diplomatic functions. "My. gj-andjaihcm ,.TcKnatha:f Belt,'" he ex. "ptaI-X ''-Was a hard-shelled .

She Wasn't From Missouri Hate Smith was so excited she. lost her hat and almost forgot her gloves when she call ed at the'Wjhite House to launch the commun ity Chest Drive and ""to give President Tru man the original copy of the Community Chest's new march "The Red Feather. It was' composed by Maj. George Howard of the Army band, who accompanied her. "Gce( it's great to be home again, Mr. President," said Miss Smith once she got to the White House, gloves and, all. 'You know, .1 am a native Washingtonian." "Well ,I'm mighty glad to hear that, grinned Truman. 'It's a rare occasion when you find a native Washingtonian in Wash ington anymore. They tell me abouL every body here is -from "Missouri." Hollywood Hinders Army Disgusted by the contractual snarls with Hollywood producers during the war, the ar my and navy have quietly decided that they will use no more Hollywood film or talent in making training pictures. Hundreds of wartime films have been blocked from use by educational institutions Unions and civic groups even though made with public funds simply because they contain a ltitle film or a little music copyrighted by 'Commercia, Picture firms. Hollywood talent in the army signal corps, particularly during the war, played hand in glove with their former bosses in okaying these contracts. Result has been that even now, 14 months after the end of the war, more than 5.000 films cannot be released by the services for showing to the public. A future film schedule calling for nearly 1,000 new pictures a year has been laid out for the army and the navy. After reviewing this with Sen. Joe O'Mahoney's surplus prop erty committee, both the army and the navy have decided that they will use no Holiywoad material at all unless the copyright holders have first agreed that the films may be shown without restriction before educational and oth er groups. Capital Chatf North Carolina Republican Calvin Zimmer man claims he was misquoted by this col umn regarding his veiws on refinding OPA penalties. Here are his complete, full, and official views on, the subject: 'I plan to join with a group of good American citizens in urging the prompt repeal of the OPA and to refund to ail vitims of treble damages the amounts they have paid less a reasonable penalty. We will urge the refund on the ground that tax violators by the thousands have settled with the government by paying lrem 5 per cent to 25 per cent penalty, and that the OPA violators not be required to pay any more penalty than tax violators." Delighted to republish Mr. Zimmerman s views for two reasons: i. in xairness to mm, 2. To let the country know that it may be in lor under Republicans It was significant that Vincfnt Impelletteri, son of an Italian immigrant, now acting Mayor of New York, gave the address of welcome at the United Nations, an organization to which Italy now seeks admission . . . the Russian Delegation, d;dn't bluster into the UN opening surreim ed by bodyguards, as they did at San "Fran cisco . . . Ambassador Ben Cohen, a member of the Chilean delegation, who has helped stage international conferences for twenty years, first devised hte system of insiantan iu:i telephone translation . . . only man who rivals Cohen when it comes to conferences Canada's Prime Minister MacKenzic King who has missed very few. Merry-go-Round Credit the army with a forthright stand on post-exchange meny: It is turn'ng $22,000 000 of post-exchange profits back to the treas ury. The fund could have been kept by the Army for its own vises, but Secretary Patter son ruled otherwise. .. .Reasons for the cotton slump were not so mysterious, despite the howis of anguish from Senator '"Cotton El mer" Thomas of Oklahoma. One reason was that he had helped the upward price trend when the OPA wanted to control spec ulation. Another was cotton hoarding. Some waiting for a price of 50 cents a pound. Final straw as the Maritime Strike which pre vented cotton from being shipped abroad. . . . There are definite signs that consumers are getting more choosy. That is one reason why big wholesalers are no longer bullish.... (Copyright 1946, by the Bell Syndicate.Inc.) Who, Him?

Edson 1 jleit for San I s; , BY PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondeni I tYASHrNGTOlM, D. C. ( NEA ) Jonathan Daniels, son of Josepnus, ! who was for' a time press secretary to both-Presidents Roosevelt i and Truman, has written another book about Washington. : If you want the inside story of what Jonathan did as an assistant director of the Office of Civilian Defense remem ber? or as confidential White House aiace Guardsman with a passion for anonymity, this isn't it. If you want a good, colorful background picture of what wartime Washington was like, with some expert political philosophizing on the side, this is it. . . "That hot wind in Washington is the country blowing on the back of Washington's neck," writes Jonathan on his first page. "I have blown. And I have also felt it singe the bottom of my hair." Jonathan got burned pretty badly over OCD and over trying to get Harry Slattery to resign as head of Rural Electrification. But he doesn't go into fh'at. The things he remembers are things like these: ; Roosevelt wore his pajamas four nights at a stretch before send- ing them to the wash, and one morning Jonathan noticed a cigaret ! hole burned just below the second button. I EFFICIENT Rudolph Forster, Executive Clerk at the White House, once told Jonathan, "You would be terrified if you , knew how i little I care," about the important state papers he juggled daily. I ' Speaker Sam Rayburn confessed, "The truth is they'll always ! dGny it but the people like something of a dictator. They always i like a President who pushes Congress hard." 1 Harry Truman as a senator had to put his wife on the government i payroll as his secretary to get enough money to pay taxes. . . . The I senators call Secretary Leslie Biffle's office, "Biffle's Tavern." . . . I One night at Sen. Lister Hill's house, Majority Leader Alben Barkley i sang "Wagon Wheels" in a baritone that was only beginnmg to crack. ... Some congressmen make coiiee in tneir omces ana tonie ivecij bottles behind the bookcase. . . . One toasted, ''Here's to Congress, jit could be belter and it might be worse" ti'T'HE truth is," one expert on government administration revealed t to the author, "that most of the confusion in government begins at the top." . . . Secretary Forrestal told him that what the Navy needed was men with imagination and a dustpan and a bicycle, to follow after top officials and see that they got things done. Jonathan calls the Pentagon "Homesick House" because everybody there wants to go home "Homesickness," he observes, "is a stronger American force than world domination." A general asked his aide one day what the White House thought nhnut some nolicv. . The aide said he didn't know because that day everybody over there was playing with those jars of liquid and- wire loops that throw bubbles." "I've heard about those," said the general,; "will you get me one?"

She could hear active movements in the kitchen and dining room. Mrs. Mays, Tom, and the maid were all extremely busy, because there would be many people coin ing later in the afternoon for cocktails and tggnog. Bart was sleeping. He had awakened in the middle of the morning, had break fast, and then gone back. to shop again. Gayle knew she would have to reuse him scon. Well, she would and she would hide the. faet that her world had fallen in ruins around her along with all the rest of the world. She felt tirec7, too numb and beaten to think, but thoughts Eeemcd to push their way into her resisting brain. They formed themselves in soi'.e of her, and ence formed, they tsooted her with her blindness and stupidity. "I ought to have known months ago." she told herself wearily. "It v.-as as plain as anything." In the past months Bart's flirta tions had grown both more nu merous and more open. She won dered sometimes if he actually thought she did not care. Once the had protested. "You owe me some consideration, Bart," she had said, careful to keen her voice quiet and controlled.

You did everything excep trunro your partner's ace." "Did I?" said Gayle. She sat down, lighted a cigaret with trem bling lingers and repeated, "Did I?" 'Did I? Did I?" he mimicked "I'll say you did.

When Gayle had --k"d on the way home where i'hev hod gone, he hd said he hadn't been with her. "Some of 4i.
