ACTORS come and actors it looks as if the l go, butwould Ameches go on forever. Although Jim Jr., now barely six, says he wants to be a mounted cop when he grows up, he's doing right well as a the'cast of member of regular he CBS's "Big Sister"; itot the role a year ago when none of suited Director the Tom Hutchinson. Jim Jr. can't read, so Jim Sr. coches him in memorizing the lines, then stands behind the mike and cues the boy with gestures; young Jim looks at child-imitato- rs eut-dow- n Washington, D. C. More U. S. Troops for India? Certain senators, even including some of the President's supporters, are irked over curtailment of the Australian army, simultaneous with British requests that we send more U. S. troops to India. The British request was made by Field Marshal Sir John Dill, former British Chief of Staff, now liaison officer in Washington. Sir John, personally one of the most charming and popular members of the British embassy, suggested to U. S. war chiefs that, in view of the Jap invasion of India, the United States might send more troops to that was: "What reply about the tremendous army you already have in India?" Sir John had to admit that this huge British army is spread out through India largely for the purpose of preventing internal revolt. Senators who have learned about this conversation are all set to do some blasting, should the White House send more U. S. troops to save the British Empire in India. However, they probably won't have to blast, because the President himself is understood to feel strongly on that subject. he f It JR. at the rest JIM AMECHE of the him instead of cast, and it's one of the most amusing and delightful things to be seen In any of New York's many broad casting studios. Fernando Alvarado was a veteran actor when he was young Jim's age. He's ten, and has been In pictures nine years and four months, has had speaking roles in 50 feature pictures. His newest one is "The Falcon in Mexico." Wild Bill Elliott tried for 13 years to convince Hollywood casting directors that he really was a cowboy. A series of pictures in which he played Wild Bill Hickock gave him his screen nickname, and at last e's been recognized aa one of the rest horsemen the screen has ever bad, a cowboys' horseman. He's creating the role of "Red Ryder" in Republic's new series based on Fred Harman's cartoons. When Anne Shirley showed up on the set of "Here Comes the Bride" with an inflamed eye, Producer-Directo- r John Auer didn't send her home; he had Anne and Phil Terry play the picture's five kissing scenes. "You will please shut your eyes when you kiss him, Anne," said Auer. "We will make it come true Aisat love is blind." And the camera never picked up a glimpse of her Inflamed eye. ' Helen Holmes was a star of silent films. Now she's on Hollywood movie sets again. One of the actors in RKO's "The Falcon in Mexico," which stars Tom Conway, is Black-i- e.

Six weeks ago this young war worker was engaged by J. L. Grimes, originator and producer of "Musical Steelmakers," to sing just eight bars of the program's theme song each week. Those eight bars of song every Sunday impressed 1,418 listeners so much that they wrote to Carlo, in Wheeling and now he's featured vocalist on each "Steelmakers" broadcast visitors to Hildegarde'a "Beat the Band" program hall her as "Charlie" she's delighted.

Yet In 1919, after the war, 32 years old, his earned run average was 1.72 and at 33 he pitched 363 innings, a total of more than 40 ball games, with a mark fixed at 1.91. This is proof enough that those who had It wiU stiU have it left upon their return. Bob Feller, for example, won't be Joe 26 until next November. will be 30 in November.

FARMERS GET A BREAK Chalk up a score for Congressman Lyndon Johnson of Texas and Economic Czar Fred Vinson in helping the farmer on the price of eggs; also in cutting the profits of dried-eg- g manufacturers to the tune of several million dollars a week.
