Dodecanese Islands Are
Important To Italian
Plans For Extending
Influence In East

RHODES, Dodecanese Islands,
Aug. 14.-Italy is celebrating the
25th anniversary of her Occupa-
ton of the historic Dodecancse IS
lands by completing naval air and
army bases here. She hopes to
make the islands the spearpoins
for pacific penetration" of the
near east.
Rhodes, once headquarters of
the knights of the holy sepulcher
who later became the knights of
Malta, is now a modernly forth
fled stronghold of great strategic
Importance. It's position near
the Turkish coast of Asia Minor,
not far from Athens, gives it a
significance Italian military ex-
perts intend to develop.
Right now the islands mostly
populated by Greeks, are an i'm
portant point in negotiations be-
tween Italy and Turkey for a
"gentlemen's agreement" in the
eastern Mediterranean. Fear Of
Italy's stronghold induced Turkey
to join a defensive pact with
Great Britain during the Italo-
Ethiopian war. But the same
sentiment, combined with Italy's
desire to have Turkey on her side
in case of trouble with Britain, is
new working toward completion of
an Turkish accord.
Turkey once owned the stands
but lost them during a war with
Italy. The Italians took them
over in May, 1912, held on to
them during the World war and
in 1928 got them for keeps when
Turkey signed the treaty Of Lau-
same confirming Italian posses
sion.
The islands, says the political
review, "Relazioni Interazionali, /"
''in fun economic development,
with a population boundtto Italy
by solid bonds, constitute the adj
vance point of our pacific pene-
tration in the near east, funda-
mental part of our system Of
Mediterranean defense, center
Of irradiation for our culture"

aircraft batteries, would oppose the
enemy invasion; third, bombing squad
rons to counter attack and carry the
operations to enemy territory.
To be useful, the alarm service
must have advance posts as far re-
moved from the cities as possible, at
enough distance to give time to the
defense organization to egt ready be-
fore the enemy planes are overhead
Half an hour is considered th> mini
mum time for q threatened capital
city to SHUT off lights, to have rail-
road stations along the assumed enemy
line of flight darkened, and to have
pursuit planes in the air ready to
fight.
But, to give time also to the counter
attack forces to get ready, one full
hour is not too much. Therefore, one
arrives at the conclusion that the most
advanced watch posts for the defense
of London and Paris against enemy
planes should be located at least 22O
or 230 miles distant.
1t is, then, evident that those two
cities could be properly defended only
If the advance watch posts were 10
Gated in Belgian territory. Otherwise,
the British metropolis could be blasted
by planes that would have time to fly
back to their bases without being
harassed.
The declaration of April "a fortu-
nately contains . paragraph through
which France and England acknowl-
edge the Belgian decision ito prevent
Belgian territory to be used for aggres-
sion against another nation, either for
transit or as base OF operations on
land, sea or air, and to organize for
this purpose the defense Of Belgium
in an effective manner" It would not
be amiss then to assume that Paris
and London are In position already
to depend on the Belgian Army anti
aircraft watch posts.

Virginia Bruce
Finds Good
Men Scarce

HOLLYWOOD, June 5 UN.sJ.
There aren't enough men In
Hollywood who are substantial"
Thus Virginia Bruce, former
wife of the late John Gilbert,
today explained her reason for
remaining q bachelor girl"
Looking ravishingly feminine
in . negligee Of rich creme lace,
blue-eyed Virginia continued:
Hollywood has some Of the
most attractive men In the
world. Many Of them are already
married. And most Of the few
remaining are too absorbed In
carving out careers for them
selves to be good bets as huS-
bands,
"But the situation has It's id.
vantages, particularly for q
woman with q career. A single
woman can devote all her ener-
gies to her work, without feeling
that she may be neglecting
someone else.
TOpSy T'tGrUey Life
Few men are willing to put up
with the topsy.turvy domestic life
that results from q woman work
ing in pictures. Meals and all
hours are Observation-Disclosures
bv the time when one may be
needed at the studio. Unless a
man has great understanding and
love for q woman, he isn't able to
put up with the situation long,"
Virginia, now making General
Hospital" at Metro oldwyn-
Mayer. declared few girls really
want to remain In the bachelor
state"
1.-THE natural state for q woman
Ii to feel that she belongs to
someone, and Is necessary for an.
others happiness" she said. "she
wants someone to fuss over, to
worry about. There's q lull In her
life without this. Too, II q woman
stays unattached too long, selfish
ness Is likely to set In.
"She Is in danger Of becoming
queen Of her surroundings, and
pretty soon the idea is so attrac-
tive. that there comes . time
when she Is unable to adopt the
give-and-take philosophy which is
30 essential to happiness. Most
marital troubles are the result Of
ones being unable to make . few
concessions"

Wind Presents
Real Problem
OF Cutting

HOLLYWOOD, June 5 IN.s0.
Casting was only a small part Of
the problems that today faced the
Hollywood producer who'll make
a motion picture out Of Margaret
.Mitchell's best-seller novel, "Gone
With the Wind"
Before there is any need to
choose q Scarlet OHara for the
film, David o. Selznick will have
to find q way to cut down q
script that Is now almost twice
too long.
Out Of Miss Mitchell's 1057.page
book, 1t was revealed, Adapter
Sidney Howard has produced q
first draft script that runs 1913
pages.
To shoot a picture anywhere
near the desired length, studio
sources declared. this script will
have to be cut down to not more
than 225 pages. And this will be
longer than needed.
A recent Selznick picture, 1.-THE
Prisoner Of Zenda," for instance,
was shot from a 14O-page script
The difficulty Of satisfactorily
abridging Miss Mitchell's book
once led the producer to consider
making 1t as two pictures
Abandoning the idea, he plans to
confer with Adapter Howard and
try to cut the present script down
to practical size.

that's the next best thing It's something I've developed after

improvements time to time It's auto dressing
Some ago decided that too much time was wasted
simply driving back and forth between my Van Nuys ranch
and the studio Now that I've recently signed longrm
tract with M-GM which 45mnute drive to Culver
City, I'm more than glad Of my invention.
Take delivery wagon body recently bought

black curtain thus giving privacy 1nsuate the top and
sides with cork and rubber composition which be
sprayed and which gives perfect insulation against heat
and cold also absorbing much of the rumble which
usually gets Then have the start Of my dressing ROOM
Personally don't much for traiers. They're too
unwiedly But for camping trip for two my ewn ar
rangement works out perfectly. We've tried it.
On one side there fullength leather couch with
storage space underneath and rail above on which coat
hangers can be hung On the opposite wall is series Of

storage And IA inches Of depth gives space than
you'd imagine In front Of this wardrobe compartment
which be let down make adesk top and there

next to it an ice box also small tank Of drinking water,

booksheves with small light chain the 'front.' to keep
the books from bouncing out if we hit bump
For my current role in The FREELY with jeanette Mac
