Cosmopolitan prod c ion which
opens tonight at the Coliseum The
atre is an absorbing, gripping. I'M
setting tale fashioned around a topic
taken right from the front pages of
today's newspapers.
The title is self-explanatory. The
picture, made from an original
screen play written by Robert Rossen
and Leonardo Bercovici, is a thor
oughgoing expose of the cancer of
racketeering eating at the heart of
almost every large American COM
munity today, and, more important
it tells in detailed-and exciting
fashion how this malignant growth
can not only be halted but eradi-
Gated.
Heading the cast of Racket Bust
ersr are such players as Humphrey
Bogart in the role of big-time
racketeer, George Brent, as an indie
pendent truckman who helps stamp
out the evils, Gloria Dickson, as his
wife. Allen Jenkins, as Brent's pal,
and Walter Abel, as the Special
Prosecutor, while the production was
directed by that sure-fire molder of

When the enumerators have COL

previously distributed, they will turn
them over to the municipal authori-

acting as national registration Of
ficers, and 1t is these officers who
will supervise the compilation of the
actual national register itself.
AS each enumerator collects the
returns he will issue to each men,
Der OF household an identity card
bearing the name and the serial
number. This number relates each
individual to the household in which
he or she was originally registered,
and thus the address and area of

whenever any question arises about
the register or when any authorized

Pepper Contends
Embargo Gives. Hitler
Powerful Fleet
Senator Speaks at
Mass Meeting for
Neutrality Revision

The present Neutrality Act gives
Germany an Atlantic fleet" more
powerful than that of the British
Navy, Senator Claude Pepper, DEM
ocrat, of Florida and member Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
declared last night in a plea for re-
peal of the arms embargo.
The Florida Senator spoke at
mass meeting staged in the National
Press Club auditorium by the Wash
ington Committee to Revise the
Neutrality Act.
At the same time Senator Pepper
urged support of the new neutrality
legislation as the best means of
keeping us out of war which he as
serted has been thrust upon the
world by great international bri-
gand who has probably adopted war
as the chief instrument of his inter-
national policy"
"Discriminates" Against Sea Power.
THE present Neutrality Act puts
a great land power in the position
to buy as much as it can from Nor
way, Sweden and its other Baltic
neighbors," Senator Pepper ex-
planned. "On the other hand it pre-
vents a great sea power from max
| ing purchases from its neighbor
across the sea. 1t gives the Germans
an Atlantic fleet more powerful
than that of the British Navy"
To the 400 persons who attended
the meeting, Senator Pepper de-
| clared that Mr.. Hitler is already
mad at us. He knows that we hate
every fiber of his immoral soul"
Senator Pepper also criticized op-
ponents of the revised neutrality bill.
They say they favor come and
get it as a principle for general
commerce yet they profess to dis
tinguish between commerce generally
and commerce that might go to make
war" he said. They say they will
not keep soldiers at the front, yet
they would furnish food and uni
forms and communication wires, and
trucks, and paper and pencils. and
all the myriad of other articles which

They say if America sells her
goods. her arms to any purchaser
who comes and gets them it will
contribute to the carnage of war. 1
say, if America does not sell her
goods, the carnage of war will
spread"
Il say, if Americas goods or guns
are bought and taken home by any
country who uses them in the de-
fense of human freedom, for the
preservation of the Christian re-
ligion, for the sanctity of human
rights, the sacredness of human
hopes and aspirations, I thank God
for it, he declared.
Attacks Radio Speaker.
Senator Pepper also attacked "the
man who called on the people over
the radio last Sunday and invoked
the divine spirit in an appeal that
100000 communications be sent
to Congress"
Other speakers on the program
were Morris Watson, vice president
