defense measures would include an in
crease ip expenditures to educate in.
dustry In the manufacture of num-
tions.
The first $4,000 900 provided by
Congress for that purpose has not yet
been expended, but some onacials favor
speeding up the program, which is
designed to gear industry more closely
into the preparedness machine.
A recommendation that the present
$lo,oo0.0oo, five-year program be
doubled or tripled has been consid-
cred in the restudy Of national de-
tense needs undertaken at Mr.. Roose-
velt's behest.
The funds would be spent on "edu
cational orders" for certain arms and
equipment needed in wartime. 80 in
dustry would have advance experience
and the necessary tools for making
them in event Of war.
In Line With Disclosures.
The orders are in line with Mr..
Roosevelt's recent disclosure that the
defense restudy included means Of
mass production Of planes and other
weapons and supplies.
The administration has indicated 1t
is chiefly concerned about industry in
its survey Of possible defense loop
holes. In an emergency, 90 per cent
Of all munitions must be produced by
private industry. Commercial aircraft
manufacturers make all the Army's
planes and most Of the Nays.
War tasks already have been as
signed to some 10000 manufactur-
ing plants. The educational orders"
were authorized as supplementary
measure.
Wartime Mass Production.

Others may be announced shortly.
Assistant War Secretary Louis john
son, director of the industrial mobiliza-
ton preparations, said ofncials had
selected only items involving serious
problems of production.
An Army board chose them as
essential, as likely not to be affected
soon by changes and as non-com-
mercial in character.

HUDSON AND .DONLEvY STAR
 IN NEW FILM
Born Reckless Is Tense Drama of Sudden Death
 at Coliseum Theatre

The roaring motor and screaming tires of steel-armored taxi hurtling with deadly force upon the enemies of law and order brings the shattering impact of ruthless war against taxicab racketeers to the screen in Born Reckless, thrilling Twentieth Century = F o \ picture which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 At the wheel of the impregnable juggernaut is Brian Donlevy, in a role as tough as the armored car he drives in his one-man crusade against crime. Haunting death for the fun of it, this devil-may-care thrill ll-demon likes life danger-spiked and he gets it in double doses when he meets Rochelle Hudson. In a role radically different from anything she has attempted before, this lovely star flirts with the haz- ards that Donlevy courts, and the romance that grows between these two flowers behind bullet-proof glass.
 The second picture of the evening features Tim Mccoy in his latest film, Monograms West of Rain bows End" which is the story of Cowboy G-Man who swears to vindicate the name of a murdered friend, and who battles unseen enemies in an effort to solve the mystery.

Ball Game On White 2
Bluffs Diamond Sunday

The White Bluffs Hanford base
ball team will play its initial game
on the new White Bluffs diamond
Sunday when they meet Richlana
in the next to- the-last contest of
the first half of the Tri-County
league schedule,
Although both teams are we'll
down in the league standings-the
locals in fifth place and Richland
in tie for the cellar position-the
game promises to be an exciting
one, as the Ricllland squad, which
is composed largely of young play
ers, is rapidly improving. The down
river aggregation has held both the
leading Council and Mckee squads
to low scores.
Other league games scheduled for
Sunday will see Council and Moxet
break the deadlock for first place
in tilt at Mckee, and the Finley
Hover aggregation attempt to WIN
it's first victory of the season at
Benton City. Prosser draws the bye.

Locals Handed IA to 3
Drubbing At Prosser

The "Prosser jinx" which troubled
the White Bluffs Hanford ball club
each trip it made to the county
seat during its valley league play,
has lost none of it's potency in the
new Tri-County league set-up, the
local team discovered Sunday, when
they suffered an unexpected reverse
there by the lop-sided score of
IA to 3.
The locals hard luck began in
the first inning when a hard hit
ball which looked like a sure hit
was taken by the Prosser third
sacker and turned into double
play, and it beset them through the
rest of the game, They were able
to get only three hits-one by Wag-
ner and two by Hall-off Nebelung,
Prosser's southpaw hurler, most of
their drives going right into the
hands of the Prosser fieIders, while
the Prosser batters were placing
their drives where they couldn't be
handled. -
With lead of one run in the
second and two in the sixth, Pros
ser put the game on ice in the
seventh when they scored eight
runs and added three in the eighth.
The locals finally came to life in
the eighth with lone tally and
then added two in the ninth when
the Prosser infield made four errors.
