No room for deck chairs on this one-tim- e luxury liner which sailed from a New ,k port. I'pper center: Every inch of space Is utilized. Here la a small section of one compartment aboard :. S. rmy transport, after It was loaded at the New York port. Right: Bed Cross workers, always on hand, e food hye to troops as an army transport begins its overseas voyage from the Boston port. HLint From a Bue Sere Suit: Mr. I. Hoffman (the New York branch of the Hollywood Reporter) recalled the most costly comma in U. S. history. . . . Many years ago a tariff bill listed articles that were to be admitted free. One item was "all foreign fruit-plan- ts " . . But a careless clerk replaced the hyphen with a comma. ... It caused or-anges, lemons, bananas, grapes and other imported fruit! to be admit-ted to the U. S. free Of duty. . . . It cost the government an esti-mated million dollars plus. A concrete example of Journalis-tic Jiu-jits- u (being thrown for the count) was the story which said that Dick Merrill, the famed transatlan-tic flier, had broken another rec-ordflying from Seattle to Wash-ington in six hours and .three minutes. . . . The story was jwired from the CaDital by one of thei news services. . . . One night later we grabbed Dick's paw and shook it hard as we congratulated him. . . . "I don't know what it's about." he said. "I Just came in from Africa. How could such a story that never happened get started?" The terrible crash of the old China Clipper at Trinidad reminded us of the flight we made from Natal to the U. S. . . . The Boeing circled over Port of Spain for more than an hour waiting, we learned, for the man In charge of the field lights to wake up and turn them on. . . . The law there at the time, It appears, pro-hibited plane landings at night. . . . When the China Clipper crashed it was the first time Trinidad permit-ted planes to land at night. The author of "Argentine Diary" (Ray Josephs) has an exciting re-port in Cosmopolitan. It is the first full-lengt- h article on Evita (Little Eva) Duarte, the girl "behind the Colonels' clique in Argentina." . . . We wrote about her activities here last June the first story to appear in the U. S. about her influence in Argentina. . . . Little Eva, we said, a one-tim- e playboys' gal-pa- l, worked herself up, colonel by colonel, to a top spot in the leading Fascist re-gime in the Americas. . . . Josephs' Cosmo piece is called "Under Cov-er Girl," and you'll know why when you read it. . . . His story, he tells us, was inspired by the item hero about her, and that is why the edi-tors bought it. . . . Two major movie studios are interested, too, reports the author. . . . Thus a columnar item has bloomed. Things like this are making Sec'y of State tinius a very re-spected gent around Washington. . . . The other day he invited Sec'y of Interior Ickes and his staff to meet with the State Dep't at a private dinner. . . . Mr. Ickes was asked to make a complete criticism of the State Dep't. . . . The Idea was to achieve better teamwork. . . . Ickes let them have a blistering attack, and plenty of State Dep't ears sizzled. . . . But the confab achieved its unique purpose. . . . It put the State Dep't lads on friendly, human relations with the Ickes bunch for the first time in a dozen years. Add fine screen playing: Mark Daniels in the "Winged Victory" hit. ... In the col'm pre-dicted that another strike would break out at Wright's in New Jer-sey. The workers there wish it emphasized that they won't strike and intend to vote for the continua-tion of the no-stri- pledge. A Broadway playgirl was tipped to a sure-thin- g four days before Tropical Park shuttered. She plunged on the horse for a $10,000 killing. . . . But the bookie, with no future in racetrack gambling, welshed to the coast. Her boy friend happens to be one of the East's toughest sportsmen. Not a new way of committing suicide, at all. A Gilmore hatcheck gal got a $100 tip from a fellow, who returned two hours later and said It was a mis-take, demanding it back. He gave her $1 instead. Not a bad tip, at that. . . . Havana is "dead" prac-tically no tourists. But Cuba has great prosperity, wages are higher than ever. The Cuban capital is guarded by machine gunners, ditto the Presidential Palace. . . . Groaned one wealthy Cuban planter: "You peopla Insist on giving our people milk and ice cream! They hate it!" . . . Isn't it true you are richer than ever?" he was asked. . . . "No," he said, "I used to make $500,000 a month. Now it takes three months to make that!" Cole Porter says of all the songs he's composed, his pet is "Love for Sale," which radio banned because of its poetry and which, conse-quently, was never "done to death" by the song-plugger- . . . The Re-pu-are describing Mr. Churchill as "England"s revenge for the Boston Tea Party!" ... A legless mendi-can- t features this placard: "4F in the Draft But 1A in Blood Dona-tions!" . . . Phil Brito's description of a phony: ""He is bothered more by your success than by his own failure." . , Overseas Handling of Service V-M-ail I ssB handling has become one of the best organized and most important branches of the service.

Yanks Check Up on Jap Pillbox Cautiously, troopers check a Japanese pillbox facing the road to the town of Manao, on Luzon Island in the Philippines.
