Down in Washington, D.C., four-times-married (and divorced) Mrs. Louise Cromwell Brooks MacArthur Atwill Heiberg, 67, was writing her memoirs and saying a few advance words about her second husband. She became Douglas MacArthur's first wife in 1922, said the New York-born socialite, over the objections of General John ("Black Jack") Pershing, who was also courting her. "Pershing told me if I married MacArthur he would send him to the Philippines." But she did not divorce the general eight years later because she hated the islands, as has been reported. "It was an interfering mother-in-law." There is more, too, she promises, including love letters from Pershing and MacArthur. "Remember the old saying," she smiles sweetly. "A man can never be a hero to his wife or his valet."

Last job held: M.P. and War Minister. Reason for leaving: caught out in lie which opened question to whole moral character. With a resume like that a man might as well forget it, but John Profumo, 49, last week started in as a nonsalaried assistant to the warden of Toynbee Hall, a London settlement house. Explained the newborn social worker: "Believe me, this is no stunt. I want to forget the past."

The first thing to remember is that Horace Dodge is dead. That won't change. As for the rest of it, who knows? Just before the auto heir died last December, he was divorcing his wife, but luckily for her he didn't make it in time, and Gregg Sherwood Dodge, fortyish, became his widow instead. She thought that meant she was in line for his $2,500,000 estate. Only he had too many debtors. So Gregg decided to sue not only his estate but also his mother (who's worth $65,000,000) for trying to break up the marriage. Now Gregg is happy to announce that her $11,000,000 worth of suits have been settled for "$9,000,000, free and clear." And that's that—except that her mother-in-law's attorney insists that the settlement is "considerably less than $9,000,000."

As the special train rattled toward Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., that day in 1946, Britain's wartime Prime Minister and the President of the U.S. indulged in a little poker. The U.S. got taken to the cleaners, as Harry Truman, 80 next week, recalled the incident. Truman marveled that during the ride Winston Churchill, now 89, had also managed to work on "one of the finest speeches ever made in the world." To honor the author of the famed "Iron Curtain" speech, Truman was again at Westminster last week for the groundbreaking of a Churchill Memorial project that will transplant a bombed-out London church to the Missouri campus.

Redesigned by Sir Christopher Wren in 1677 after the Great Fire of London, the church will be moved stone by stone and completely reconstructed at a cost of $1,500,000.
