fast-moving drama Grand Jury
Secrets" will unfold clever story
in which short wave radio figures
in a unique and thrilling way.
The story, written for the screen
by Irving Refs and Robert Yost, sets
a fast pace in the first reel. and
doesn't let down for a single mo-
ment. John Howard, cast as news
paper exporter and enthusiastic
short-wave operator or ham" learns
that his brother and assistant dis
trict attorney, Harvey Stephens, is
conducting a special Gran Jury
probe. Always on the alert for a
good story nc tries to wangle the
inside information from Gail Pat

Stephens. q Gevil-may-care fellow,

She attends occasional women's
organization meetings, but stays
in the background. A slender, dark
haired, attractive young woman,
she looks tiny beside her towering,
sandy-haired husband. Currently
her major concern is the care Of
young Glen, the three-year -old son.
The demands of people clamor-
ing for the Governors attention
don't leave him much time. When
ever he does escape for an eve
ming with his family, he custom
arily puts in several hours with a
debating machine, or coming re-
ports.
In meeting the public and the
press, Stassen reveals an under
standing of details that has sur
prised political veterans.
He works best against bitter OPP
position. A year ago he faced a
relief lobby" march. There were
1900 marchers, bitter against
Stassen and the Republican adj
ministration. They loudly demand
ed a special relief session of the
legislature.
Stassen invited half dozen
leaders into his office, asked them
what they wanted They told him
people were starving.
The Governor tossed a pencil
and pad of paper across his desk
Just write down the names OF
any who are starving" he said
Wen get food for them. Nobody
is going to starye while l am
here"
Nobody picked up the pencil.
Stassen went out on the capitol
steps to meet the crowd. Some
body booed.
The Governor turned to the
hecklers. of course, we're prob
ably going to disagree. That's no
reason We shouldn't preserve the
spirit of give and take, and of
fair criticism"
There was no more booing-and
no more marches on the state
house.
A few weeks ago he went up
against the biggest test OF the Ia
Dor policy he inaugurated in at
temp to end the industrial strife
that has flared in Minneapolis
and st. Paul for years.
Kept the Lights Burning
Employees of the power COM
pany that lights the two cities
threatened to walk out. Signs
pointed to a blackout.
Stasser called both sides to his
office. Laborers went in first They
came out, and company officials,
equally grim, went in.
AS the alternate conferences
continued, both sides began to re-
lax. The word went around that
1.-THE chief is talking turkey
Presently both sides announced
they would try to iron out differ
ences. The lights stayed on.
No one, including Stassen, knows
today what he is going to say to
the Republicans next June "a. But
it is reasonably certain that he
will talk turkey.

PRINCETON, N. j., May 9.-Early
last fall, with a Rockefeller Foun-
dation grant and a ramshackle pri-
vate house donated for headquar-
ters, a Listening Center" was es-
tabliShed by Princeton UniverSity'S
School of Public and International
Affairs to study the incessant battle
of radio propaganda aimed at cap
turing America.
Already the Center has found un-
mistakabe trends in more than 200
programs the belligerents beam TO
North America each week. 1t has
recorded transcribed, and translat-
ed tWhen necessary over 2,O0O,O0O
words of sample news and typical
programs.
The Germans seem to be doing
probably the most thorough Joo.
It's aimed at promoting Anglo
American friction and keeping Am
erica out of the war;" said thin,
quiet, red-headed Prof. John B.
Whitton, chairman of the Listening
Center'S board.
Typical commentary programs
from Berlin include sketches OF
famous Americans who lived during
strife of the war of 1912 or the ReVo-
lution-when England and America
were at war. Other programs warn
Americans about the numerous mill
tarv air fields Britain is bullding
in Canada. to be used one day TO
attack the u. S.

himself Lord Hee HaW.
The French through Paris Mon
dial, their short wave outlet, seem
content to take back seat in the
war of words, keeping their pro-
grams on a highly intellectual level
and leaving the work to Britain
The British have not started as

program designed solely for AM
erican listeners. They count on their
Canada-beamed news programs and
talks reaching American ears.
The English base their appeal
largely on their theological war aims
and the common Anglo American
way of life. Especially for their
Canadian listeners, they stress en-
pire solidarity and Germany's weak
ness in raw materials.

| Professor Whitten, lis that we have
