...agreements have been a major factor in the networks' difficulties with ASCAP, it looked at week's end as if the Department of Justice might spike a major ASCAP gun. Meanwhile the society and the networks continued brawling bitterly. Still ignored by both the battlers was FCC, oft cited as a possible arbitrator for the feud. Said a spokesman for the Commission : "We look at it more or less this way : It's just a quarrel between two business men over dividing up the swag...
...fifth wife of the late, oft-wedded DeWolf Hopper, Hedda was born Elda Furry near Altoona, Pa., changed her first name as well as her last after marrying Hopper, partly to distinguish herself from her predecessors (Ella, Ida. Edna and Nella), partly to comply with the instructions of a numerologist. Her long connection with the cinema dates back 25 years. Credited with knowing more extramarital yarns about cinemagnates than even the relentless Louella. Hedda was signed up for a Hollywood column three years ago on the recommendation of M. G. M.'s publicity office, soon established herself so firmly...

The fact: all men who were between 21 and 35 on Registration Day, and not otherwise exempt, will be legally liable to call until September 1945. This rule holds true even if a man turned 36 on Oct. 17. Practically, of course, as registrants near 40, their chances of being wanted for the Army will steadily lessen. But youngsters who turn 21 between...
...Morse and Stein in last Friday's Crimson contains a serious misstatement when it says, "neither the Democratic, Republican nor Socialist parties offer an opportunity to register a vote for peace." As far as the Socialist Party is concerned this misstatement is so ludicrous that were it not so oft repeated by supporters of the Communist candidates, apparently acting on the theory that reiteration carries conviction irrespective of the truth, we would not burden Crimson readers with a statement of the position of Norman Thomas, Maynard Krueger and the party they represent. We would suppose that it is a matter...
