partment Of the Disabled American Vet
Grams is on the accredited list of worthy
charities here and has for three years
"ccounted to the board appointed by the
District Commissioners of all OF its re-
ceipts and disbursements.
This has placed the organization In
line for membership to the Community
Chest now being formed, one Of the con-
ditions being that if an organization is
to receive benefits from the chest nei-
Their it nor any of its units may conduct
independent pleas for money during the
year.

has decided to continue its central con-
troll and accounting of all its financial
matters and George w. Phillips, pas
department commander, has been at
tending chest meetings by designation
of the department, of all those arrang-
ing to establish the chest here.
However, as the disbursements from
the chest will not begin until next Sum.

annual Forget-Me-Not drive as uSua
this Fall and if the expected member.

"The Third Degree" the Warner
 Bros. production, starring Dolores

 Liberty theatre, is as gripping a police melodrama as it's name sng- gests,
 "The Third Degree!" Words that 'carry connection of horror and miserable sin5ustice; nagging, bully ing, brow-beating, torture forced confession: the modern version of ipquisition.
 Bewildered prisoners writhe on a stool of agony, binding light flood ing their weary eyes, with harsh voices in the darkness beyond threatening, cabling, insisting, de- questioning them until their senses reel and the earth seems 10 be staggering crazily through trackless space. They are slapped awake or roughly shaken by mani cured paws out of the darkness, tempted with promises Of freedom md leniency and rest to confess a -errible crime of which they are 5uiltless.
