...Washington's Departmental Auditorium, Brigadier General Lewis Elaine Hershey dipped his hairy hand into a brown wastebasket. He plucked out a cobalt-blue capsule, thrust it behind his back. A brunette young woman snatched the capsule, shook out a piece of paper, handed the paper to a blonde.

Last week there were changes at CPP, of which those at B. & B. were an echo. Advertising Director Roy Peet, with whom Bates worked, moved upstairs to be assistant to President Edward Herman Little. And Adman Bates was given the option of forming...
...these charges were taken up by the Hollywood Reporter, which revealed that a local detective agency had been hired by the Screen Actors Guild to ferret out any misdemeanors. No report was ever made public by the Guild, but several months later Central had a new manager in blond, pipe-smoking Howard Philbrick, a former G-man who had made a name for himself in California with an investigation of graft in the State Legislature. Philbrick quietly set up a watchdog system over his underlings, announced he would make no radical changes in Central's methods until the Standing...
