Daughter Gets Part
But Mother Gets Jail
For Embezzling $25,000
HOLLYWOOD, UP) — Jill Hol
lingsworth has won a movie role,
a chance which cost her doting
mother a long term in jail.
Jack Broder, an independent
producer, said Monday night he
signed the 18 - year - old Detroit
girl for a part in a picture, “Steel
Bayonets,” on which production
is scheduled to start March 4.
The film will star John Ireland
and Lon McAllister, Broder said
Miss Hollingsworth’s part may
run only four or five minutes but
will be the principal feminine
role. She will play the part of a
WAC in canteen scenes.
“She may earn only about $500,
but she’ll be getting a chance,”
Broder said. “I’m a Detroit theater
operator, too, and because I’ve
heard about the background of
her case I wanted to give her a
break.
Jill’s mother, Mrs. Beatrice Hol
lingsworth, 47, last Friday was
sentenced in Detroit to 5 to 14
years in the house of correction
for embezzling $25,000 from a
Detroit manufacturing firm for
which she was a bookkeeper.
Mrs. Hollingsworth said she took
the money to take her daughter
to Hollywood and groom her for
“a chance in show business I
never had.” The judge, in sen
tencing her, scolded her severely
for “child-doting” and for “en
joying the notoriety you received.”

Pacific NW Timber
Interests Safe, Says
State Department
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, UP» — Japanese
plans for tapping Alaska’s timber
would not shut the Japanese mar
ket to Pacific Northwest timber
and pulp interests, a State Depart
ment spokesman says.
“We are certain that as in for
mer years, the timber and pulp
producers of Oregon will have an
opportunity to compete on an
equal basis for their share of the
large Japanese market,” Thurston
B. Morton, assistant secretary of
state, said in a letter made public
Tuesday by Rep. Norblad (R-Ore).
The letter was in reply to a
strongly worded protest from Nor
blad against the announced plans
of Japanese interests to set up a
sawmill and eventually a pulp
mill in Alaska.
ixv/i uiau ucm wuuui uiat uiaiij
northwest mills are now operating
irregularly or have closed because
of a slow timber market. To per
mit the Japanese to cut timber in
Alaska would aggravate the situ
ation further, he said.
MoTton also sought to set at
rest Norblad’s fears over the wis
dom of letting any foreign gov
ernment gain a foothold in the
development of any U.S. or terri
torial resource.
“ . . . The United States govern
ment has not agreed to allow the
Japanese government the right to
construct and operate lumber
mills or a pulp plant in Alaska,” j
he wrote. “Indeed, the Japanese
government has never requested
such permission.”
Because “today, more than ever
before, the Department of Defense
looks upon forest reserves as a
resource which can strengthen
that important link in our nation
al defense, a stable civilian popu
lation in Alaska,” Morton said the
Japanese inquiries received care
ful consideration by the Depart
ments of Defense, Interior, Agri
culture, Labor, Commerce and
State.

Von Rundstedt, German
General at “Battle of the
Bulge,” Dies at 77
HANOVER, Germany, OP)— Field
Marshal Karl Gerd Von Rund
stedt, a stern Prussian officer who
directed the big German offensive
against U.S. lines in the Battle of
the Bulge, died at his home here
Tuesday. He was 77.
The German offensive in the,
winter at 1944 was a dying gasp
of Hitler’s armed forces and the
third great battle of the war in
which Von Rundstedt had the
guiding hand. The others were the
envelopment of Poland’s main
army in 1939 and Dunkerque.
Von Rundstedt was among the
high German officers long held by
the Allies on suspicion at war
crimes, but he never came to trial.
He was kept in British custody for
four years, mostly under hospital
care. British authorities dropped
charges against him because he
was considered tqo ill to stand
trial.

From faraway
places-more
oil for you
t
In Sumatra back in 1924, Standard geologists began •
mapping possible deposits of oil. But not until last year
did Sumatran wells start adding to available oil supplies. »
This operation, costing some $62 million to date, was
pioneered by Standard. It is now carried on jointly with
The Texas Company under the name “Caltex.”
Into San Francisco Bay come tankers carry
ing Sumatran crude—returns on the long gamble
Standard undertook nearly 30 years ago. Other
shipments go elsewhere in the world, aiding prog
ress and adding defensive strength. Four friendly
nations ir particular benefit directly. First, of course,
is the young Indonesian Republic, of which Sumatra
is a part. Then Australia, Japan and the Philip
pines. *H»ey produce practically no oil of their own,
*
but will be supplied in the near future by refineries
which Caltex is helping to build. f And, of course,
the Sumatran oil brought into this country helps
keep you in gasoline and the many other petroleum
products you’ve come .to rely on. f Standard's ac
tivities abroad, typified by this flow of Sumatran
crude, are constantly being expanded, as in sddrrt
guarantee that petroleum needs at the free swli
will continue to be met.
