FILM FANTASY PLAYING NOW AS LOCAL HIT
The Wizard of O." Fea- fured in TeehnieoIor
 al Capitol

It was genius for realistic imagination which prompted L. Frank Baum to write The Wizard of Oz" and it is genius in all-age perfect entertainment that brings it to the motion picture screen. Those who saw the showings of The Wizard of Oz" yesterday at the Capitol Theater witnessed one of the truly great pictures of all time.
 The word great" is all-embrac- ing. The Wizard of O." is great in entertainment, in satisfaction, in music, color photography, costum- ing, performances-in fact, great in every department
 With rare genius, Producer Mer- vyn LeRoy took Baum's story, which is reported to have been read by 80 million persons since it was written 40 years ago, kept the delightful flavor and exact story of the book, and added mag nificense, beauty, life, humor and some of the years best music.
 When you see The Wizard of Oz' you realize it had to be made in Technicolor. The effects are amazing. You know it had to have technical experts because the magic IS startling. When you hear the lifting music and clever lyrics you realize it had to have music. And when you see Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr. Jack Haley, Billie Burke, Margaret Hamilton, Charley Grapewin, Pat Walshe and Clara Blandick in their roles you know they could have been played by no one else

Who Should
 Gel Wings!

DENVER, April g. Medical science still seeks an answer to the question of what makes a good airplane pilot tick?"
 "Is tall, husky man better pilot than short, slender man?' asked Dr. Michael L. Mason of the North western University Medical School at a Denver medical meeting.
 'Is one type of man better qual- fled to fly at an altitude of 25,00O feet than another man?
 T suppose some of the answers will be obtained through the trial and error method"
 He said the answers would sim plify the problem of the Army Air Corps, which examines applicants for army flying jobs.
 Occasionally, man will pass the most rigid physical examination, do brilliant work in the ground school and then funk the course" when he takes to the air simply because he can't stand flying.

The new order" which Adolf
Hitler is painstakingly constructing
in Southeastern Europe opens up an
entirely new phase in the science of
subjection
Hungary. inducted today with a
thunder of drums into the Berlin
Rome Toxic alliance, becomes the
model. The other stepping stones
in Germany's pathway to the Near
East: Rumania, Bulgaria-and, most
important, Turkey-are expected to
get successfully in step. Greece,
because she resisted Italy, may
simply be crushed.
The alliance itself and its "one-
for-all- and -all-for- -one" terms are
largely window dressing, in so far
as Hitler's real design is concerned.
The real importance of the method
is this: Germany believes she has
found a way to get these small ma
tions to pull their own weight in
the Nazi war to annihilate England
by making them into protectorates,
and avoiding altogether the expense,
ruin and drain of invasion. military
occupation and maintenance.
Vast Nazi armies eat their heads
off from Norway's rocky Northern
tip to the beaches of Brittany. Ger
man boots stamp on the cobblestones
from Warsaw to BreSt. There are
beaten, desperate people to be
watched, fed, imprisoned.
Easy and Gainful.
But in the southeast, in his way
to Syria, Palestine and Suez, Hitler
means to avoid all that The states
that join his alliance not only will
pledge their loyal political and eco
nomic and military cooperation
with the axis in return for military
protection; they will summarily pro-
vide money. food, supplies and even
men. and keep themselves in strict
order. They will have little chance
to conceal anything from their over
lords, for the terms OF the Berlin
Rome-Tokio alliance provide for
'joint" technical commissions to i'm
plement the treaty.
AS is the case of todav's alliance,
representatives of Hungary will be
called in for commission confer
ences." Called in II does not re-
quire much Imagination to see how
such a commission can become in
fact the government Of the small

have been indications that some
thing like this was really needed,
from the German standpoint, in
Hungary-for example, the recent
internal political repercussions,
something that scarcely could occur

Turkey the Real Nut.
Now it is up to Rumania, Bulgaria
and Turkey, probably in that order.
Rumania, with perhaps 250,000
German troops already in her
shrunken borders, ready to move on
south, has no choice at all Bull
garia has very little. Bulgaria may
have to pay for her alliance very
shortly by using her own army to
attack Greece and help out the
Italians.
Turkey is the real nut to crack;

Yugoslavia, for the moment, Is
left for Italy to handle. How long
this Will last is problematical, for
the idea of an axis" in Europe,
implying two equal partners, is fast
becoming a myth, and purely
German hegemony is taking its
place.
Spain Expected In.
In Western Europe, Spain may
be expected to join the alliance
when Hitler gives the signal and
thereupon to pay part of the price
of a German assault on Gibraltar
This share of the price may be
paid in Spanish lives, for Spain
has little else to give.
The rumors that King Leopold of
/ the Belgians has been seeing Hitler
may indicate that Belgium will be-
come the axis model for the oc-
cupied nations. This is all the more
likely now that "collabora tion" with
France has gone sour.
AS for the other original alliance
partners, Italy and Japan, what do
they get?
