...certificate for his religious work. Said Mr. Rank: "I believe that the best way we can spread the gospel of Christ is through movies." Then Mr. Rank went about his own-and the Empire's-business, which is to spread British movies all over the globe. In a swirl of breakfasts, luncheons, teas, cocktail parties and after-theater snacks, he confabbed with RKO Production Boss Dore Schary, 20th Century-Fox Boss Spyros Skouras, who is an old friend, John D.

His friend had in mind the politics and pressures which swirl around "the country's second lousiest job." Colonel Charles Forbes had retired from the job in 1923 to a federal penitentiary, convicted of selling contracts. Forbes's successor, honest, penurious Brigadier General Frank T.
