Carmody's aides said the COM

house probably by October Is.
They said the plan was not to
build new highways on a grand
scale.
The plan contemplates vitaliza-
ton of the historic "Pershing map"
of 1922-the first national planning
of a system of national defense
highways by military experts head
ed by the World war commander of
the American expeditionary force.
Carmody said the vast majority
Of the road surfaces and the bridges
to be strengthened, widened and
Strengthened came within the reg
ular federal-aid system and with
few exceptions were the roads most
needed in normal peacetime pur-
suits.
In addition, the prospectus calls
for construction of 3,112 miles of
new roads within and leading to
military establishments and cen
tiers Of industrial and population
centers.
The WPA probably will concen-
trate on construction of road shout
ders and on unpaved parallel roads
which could be pressed into pub
lie service when arterial highways
near great cities are filled to capa-
city with military activities.
In event of foreign invasion,
authorities said these auxiliary
roads would prevent confusion rec

MAIN STREET THEATRE
Based on the popular, best-selling
Daphne du Maurier novel, David o.
Selznick's production Of 'Rebecca,"
which will be shown at the Main
Street Theatre on Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday, through United Ar
lists release, was filmed with a
cast whose list of stars reads like
a screen Blue Book.
Laurence Olivier and Joan Fon-
tame appear in the principal star
ring roles, while the featured cast
includes Reginald Denny, Judith
Anderson, George Sanders, G.
Aubrey Smith, Gladys Cooper,
Florence Bates and Nigel Bruce.
Alfred Hitchcock, who previously
staged such success as 1.-THE Lady
Vanishes" and 1.-THE 80 Steps," di-
rected TRebecca" from the screen
play written by Robert E. Sher-
wood and Joan Harrison.
Under the direction of Lyle
Wheeler, art director at Selznick
International, forty different sets
representing the picturesque back
grounds of the story were con-
structed for the film. Among the
unusual settings are London
streets, old taverns, coroner's Of
flee and gloomy boathouse facing
a windswept bay on the coast Of
Cornwall.
The largest set, depicting the
Tudor estate known as Manderley,
was built two stories high on a
plot of ground which measured 100
by 125 feet. All sets were first built
in miniature from the descriptions
of locales and buildings written by
Miss du Maurier herself in her
novel. They were later erected in
full size by three hundred studio
workmen. When finally completed,
Manderley was a complete home
containing drawing room, library,
dining room, foyer and two upper
story wings

Timing and precision became the
handmaidens of victory Friday as
the Main Streeters, feeling their
power on the offensive for the first
time, carried the ball game to Nor
ris all the way under a warm In
dian summer sun and dealt them
selves everything in the deck with
a draw, a loss and a win in their
first three games of West Central
Conference ball. It gave Sank
Centre this week the halfway rat
ing of 500.
Rolling out their scoring ma
chine in the first few minutes
of the ball game Ray Schwartz
club took over in what was a
decisive ball game, handed Nor
ris singing IL to 0 defeat, and
set themselves up for the OPEN
ing of the home season tOmOr-
row against Long Prairie on
O-Sa-Ge field.
Heat told terrifically on both
teams and Schwartz to combat tir-
ing Of his club, substituted freely
in both the backfield and the line.
Morris at halftime freshened up
with clean jerseys that hypo
couldn't turn the tide of Sank Cen
tres incessant boring.
With one of the biggest lines the
school has had in five years, the
team depended strongly on its line
play Friday. And it was that de-
partment that contributed heavily
to Sank Centres steady advances
Besides the two touchdowns the
local club rolled up a total of nine
first downs, with long net yardage.
Morris was held to a meager three
first downs, one by penalty.
While the line opened holes, with
Trutna, Cheney, Simmer and 9TH
ers notably performing in this
field, the backs, with Cooper, Arne-
son and Vandesteeg leading the
field Friday. were timed into the
picture perfectly.
Sank Centre made the opening
kickoff and Morris rolled the run
back to midfield. Stopped, Morris
punted. And from that first touch
of the ball Sank Centre began roll
ing. On a deceptive play Cooper,
behind the best interference of the
season, rolled to midfield from the
deep punt position. Two penalties
helped the Sank Centre cause, and
in three successive first downs,
Cooper rolled over to score. Van
desteeg's try for field goal was
outside the bar by inches:
Morris line could get little
through the Sank Centre forward
wall, and it's early opening on a
passing admitted the weakness.
Manney's pass to Hoyer was knock
ed down. Their first three passes
were incomplete; their ground at
tack was stymied and midway thru

Hollywood-If this Is 10 be q story
about Bill Cagney, you may as well

producers used to be In the womens
underwear business, or "lingerie
game"
That chapter conforms To the
faltering tradition that movie MAX
ers are q bunch Of former cloak land
suffers, furriers, or pantie peddlers.
Actually, though, II has nothing TO
do with his emergence as producers
Of Brother Jimmy Cagney's pictures.
Bill Cagney belongs TO what 10 To-
cally termed "the new order" OF
Aim executives, which means that
he Is artlculate, educated, and exc
perlenced.
His background includes a college
law degree, O flyer at theatrical
pressagentry, O voluntarily terminate
ed career as o movie actor, and sew
eral years as the business agent OF
his stellar relative. He's still guild
ing the new but thriving conquest
of the hickers by their ingenue sis

fairly good and was full OF pep,
and I found that nobody'd talk TO
me about any Job except acting
especially since the name was Gag
ney."
He talked TO his brother about II
and said he felt that II might be
an infringement on Jimmy's prestige.
Jimmy surprised him by urging him
TO try. 1T you're bad, they'll catch
up with you mighty quick" he told
Bill. "If you're good then US okay
anyway"
The newcomer was tested and
signed at Columbia. Frank Bor-
cage wanted him for the lead In
"A Mans Castle" but others OPP
posed the choice and arranged an
other test. For this one, the green
candidate was put into q bed With
q beautiful actress and and told not
TO move while reciting some lines
In q very bored voice. AS II that
