 Occupying almost the entire sound stage is half of an ocean liner. The prov, ripped and crushed, is buried in an iceberg which has shattered and sent great cakes of ice ripping through the wheelhouse and into the super structure.

 True. it's all made of cardboard, plaster, and wood. and the iceberg is a hollow wooden framework cov- cred with canvas. But, even to an observer standing there on the set, the scene comes to life with start ling realism in the hands of tech- nicians who know how to handle lights and synthetic fog and cam era angles.

- the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 20.-Sharp
controversy developed in the Ameri-
can Legion today regarding the pur-
poses and activities of the interna-
Fidac, in which every member OF the
Legion and its auxiliary are enrolled.
The dispute in the Legion lies be-
tween nationalistic opponents OF the
world organization on one side and its
International champions on the other.
AS result OF the differences of
opinion. National Comdr. Harry w.
Colmery yesterday informed the Legion
Auxiliary that an Investigating Com
mittee will visit Paris and examine
the books and records Of Fidac
Federation Interalliee des Anciens
Combattants).
Mrs Julia Wheelock, former wife
OF Kid Mccoy, old-time pugilist has
long agitated for withdrawal of the
Legion from Fidac, contending that
It is IAN international organization
that has raised hell in every place
where it has gone"
Colmery told the auxiliary it was
his hope "as we arrive at the final
conclusion and judgment as to the
American Legion's place in Fidac. it
will be settled with tolerance, patience
and intelligent insight"
c. U. Dean Favors Fidac.
Mrs. Wheelock, member of the Le-
eion and representative on the Ma
tional Board, has contended that FL
dac is supported to large extent by
American funds, but is dominated by
French war veterans and operated
mainly for their benefit.
Veterans organizations in IL coun-
tries who were allies in the World
War, are members.
A strong plea for continued Ameri-
can participation in Fidac was made
ut the organiza tons breakfast yes
terday. which several hundred men,
bers of the auxiliary attended.
The Rev. Robert J. White. dean OF
the Catholic University at Washing
ton and vice president of Fidac. as
serted there are those in the United
States who believe in international
peace"
I'VE can quite consistently be good
Americans and work for international
peace" he said. President Roosevelt
gave a message to Fidac last year in
which he said it was force for world
peace. - We need hope, confident
and unafraid that war can be
averted"
Prizes Awarded
In reporting to the auxiliary on
the state of 800 veterans bills sub
mitted to Congress last year, most OF
which are static, Col John Thomas
Taylor, chairman of legislation for the
Legion. was philosophical.
Several prizes and trophies were
awarded by the auxiliary.
