The Film-Star And The

Fuzzy-Wuzzy

rIS photograph of Carol Landis, a Hollywood star, who recently toured New Guinea camps, was published in a Sydney newspaper in September under the caption: “Carol Landis lights a cigarette for ‘Fuzzy,’ a Papuan native.”

An incensed Territorian sent us the clipping and the following remarks: “Knowing the native, it will take a lot to convince me that the ‘coon’ in the picture has his eye on the match.

“If this sort of thing is allowed by Canberra officials, then what respect is a white woman going to receive from natives when later women are permitted to re turn to the Territory? As we all know, the so-called ‘Fuzzy’ has done good work; but why undo that good work with an exhibition like this?

“This boy later might seek a position as a house-boy, but the woman for whom he will work is not to be envied.

“If such exhibitions must be, why not turn them on in Martin Place, Sydney, and let Miss Landis light a cigarette for an American negro. She might get a few more fans then.”

J. Pierpoint Morgan’s former luxury ship, “Corsair,” now 46 years old, is awaiting retirement from the US Navy.

She has just completed two years of charting Pacific waters from the Aleu tians to Australia, thus preparing the way for attacks on the Japanese.
