The famous Brighton Belle pulled
out of Hollywood the other day for
scenes in that same picture. The
station, however, was a replica Of
the famous Victoria station, the
train was a replica of the Brighton
Belle, which covers the 81 miles be-
tween London and Brighton in 40
minutes, and the men who filled it
were extras, not British Tommies.
But to many who watched, the
atmosphere was the same as it
would have been in the original set
ting. Producer Edward Small could
not shoot the scene in London be-
cause of the present war, but in por-
traying a scene that dates back to
the last one he brought to Califor-
MIA, for a moment, all the feeling
that fills the railway stations Of
Europe in these times, as trains
filed with soldiers leave for the
front. i

ries no funds and must be approy- ed by both houses of Congress be- fore becoming effective. However, 1t is recommended as the house en- ters the second day of debate on the navy's money bill for the 104l fiscal year.
 This appropriation measure is a peace-time record -breaker. Although cut $111 100000 below President Roosevelt's recommendations, it carries total of $966, ,772, SIS funds for 19 new fighting ships, including Q start on two more $45 ,0O0-ton super -dreadnaughts, and 352 naval airplanes.
 The expanion authorization would add 167,000 tons of fighting ships to the navy's total. This comprises 2l warships, none of them battleships. This number is the total which the navy said the nations private and government shipyards could accom- modate in the next two years.
 The bill originally projected a 25 per cent, 4O0,000-ton fleet increase to be laid down over six years at cost of $1 100000 but was whittled to two year program by the committee.
 The increase, huge as 1t is, will fall considerably short of carrying out the New Deal policy of main- taining a navy second to none. The world arms race initiated with the expiration of the naval limitation treaties has upset the B. 5-3 naval ratio they established. The United States has fallen bee hind Great Britain and Japan has gained on the United States.

 The committee limited the navy to a two-year expansion program after considering an original pro- posal for 25 per cent, six-year in- crease. It admitted that short range planning might be costlier, but said 1t feels that 1t is preferable to review the situation at shorter intervals"
