E WEAKNESSES

IN pointing out Americas lack OF defense,
L ALAN MARSHALL, addressing a mass meeting
at the court house on Friday night, declared
that mobile anti-aircraft equipment on the en-
tire east coast of the United States is not ade-
quate to defend a single city the size of Will
mington against an invading army.
The fact is not new. It has been frequently
state in approximately the same terms. But
it gains Importance with every restatement.
Deficiency in this one branch of defense, how
ever, is but one item in the bill of complaint
There are many others, even more striking.
In it's discussion of recent military maneuv-
ers in Louisiana and Texas, Life" cites the
fact that in other war games scheduled for
August there will be 80, 900 men under arms.
and adds: "This force-the greatest ever as.
sembled in U. S. peacetime-is roughly three
quarters the size of the late Dutch army"
Let that sink in. In its largest mobiliza-
ton for maneuvers, our nation summons a
force a fourth smaller than Holland had to
face the Nazi blitzkrieg. And it was finished
off in five days!
We are not to think that the men called
for the August maneuvers represent the total
reserve military strength of the United States.
But it is all that will profit by the training to
be offered at that time. Its pitiful made
quacy to the task of combating a foreign in
vader is apparent. And this is a period in
which the training of every man eligible for
military service is indispensable.
incidentally, the quota fixed for the August
training is larger than the present personnel
of the regular army. Furthermore, present
plans contemplate raising the army strength
only to a million men. In the Somme battle
now under way in France two million men
are at grips. Both the Allies and Germany
have other millions in reserve, guarding the
two great defense lines along the Rhine and
exposed points of possible attack.
The picture we have painted of our defense
needs, in comparison with the forces of
battling European armies, is sketchy indeed.
if this million men is assumed to be sufficient
to any war emergency which may arise in the
future-and that it will come is a foregone
conclusion.
America needs not only anti-aircraft de-
lenses and airplanes, tanks, guns, munitions
and supplies. America needs trained men far
in excess of present programs, if-it is to hold
American shores against the aggressors.

J1TTERS

Evidence of the war filters becoming a part
If the American makeup was shown recently
in an incident in connection with the new
United States liner America, which had it's
builders trial run last week. Before the ship
sailed on its voyage of only rs miles o~ffshore,
the owners attempted to cover the ship with
war-risk insurance. The ships complete value
of ST., 900, 900 was offered for coverage in the
New York market, but the market declined on
the ground that it could not write such a
large risk.
Observers felt that it was a pure case of war
filters, because only approximately $4,000 600
was written here, while 81 ,0O0,0 900 was written
in a country at war-England-and the re-
mainder ELSEWHERE" War-risk insurance, it
must be remembered, does not insure against
ordinary marine risks. 1t ~insures, rather,
against losses due directly or indirectly to
war actions, such as bombardment, torpedo,
mines, enemy shell fire, etc.
The actual war risk on a mere 75-mile run
off the United States coast is indeed small.

ALLIED NAVY GROWS

Nazi claims of Allied naval losses have been
so frequent and sweeping, especially during
the evacuation at Dunkerque, that it has SEEM
pieces on the high seas.
An official statement by the British war
command, however, shows that German has
claimed destruction of much craft which is
still in commission. Great Britain's navy
losses, according to this statement, since the
capital ships; one of seven aircraft carriers;
two of 81 cruisers; 20 of 1856 destroyers; eight
of So submarines; six of 10S m~inesweepers,
sloops, patrol vessels and gunboats.
If the Nazi claims were correct it would
be necessary to show only the last figures,
German propaganda bureau is imaginative,
if not accurate.
The statement changes the popular belief
in the increasing impotency of Allied naval
forces so completely, a part of it is worth
quoting:
"Since the beginning of the war in addition
to reinforcements Of warships in all classes
except battleships the navy has been strength.
ened by more than so armed merchant cruis.
ers and more than $500 minor war vessels
and auxiliary craft Of which So have been

"The French navy is a very powerful and
rapidly growing force.
"The Allied fleets have been reinforced by
active cooperation of Polish, Norwegian anG
Dutch naval forces.
During the next few months the Roya,
navy will receive a further large increase In
strength comprising every category of war
ship from battleships to motor torpedoboats
and a very large number of auxiliary craft.

SERVICE

Americans will be swift to applaud the spirit
In which the members of the National Defense
Commission, appointed by the President, have
entered upon their all-important duties. They
have evidently determined to give of their
time and capacity without stint.
This particularly applies to EDWARD R.
STETTINIUs, JR., who has resigned his post as
chairman Of the board of the United States
Steel Corporation, and to WILLIAM S. KNup,
SEN, who has been granted an indeterminate
leave OF absence from his position as presi.
dent Of General Motors.
We have no doubt that the other members
of the commission are motivated by the same
patriotic ardor and will be equally ready to
set aside any personal considerations in meet
ing the heavy responsibilities placed upon
them. Mr.. %STETrIN1us and Mr.. KNupsEN have
been singled out for special mention only be.

accepting what any citizen would regard AZ

nevertheless, to say that the same purpose

any burden, big or little, that may come t.
him.

cause M. DALAD1ER set him on his way by max

Nevertheless, Premier PAUL REYNAuD can

of France when everything must be subordi.
mated to the single task of preserving the ma

lowed to interfere. Since it was necessary
to give the French people a government in
which they could have full confidence, M.
DALAD1ER had to be sacrificed.
Premier REYNAUD, indeed, had to cast aside
questions Of justice or injustice. 1t is not M
DALADIER's fault, at least not his alone, that
France is fighting for her very life today
PAUL REYNAUD must know that as we'll as any

Man About Manhattan
George TUCKER

NEW YORK, June 9 - We are
warned by Julian Eltihge, who al
ready has retired for good five
separate and distinct times, that
this may be his final appearance
in public as an entertainer.
And on the off chance that he
may mean it this time we dropped
in TO ra chat with the worlds
best known female impersonator
first, to ask him a few questions
about a real estate venture he and
Sol Bloom, now a congressman, en-
cred into some time ago, and Sec
ond, to sort of close out the era,
if this appearance really is his
last.
Of all the hundreds and thou
sands of people who have come to
Broadway, touched it. and given
a bit of their personalities to it,
Eltinge is n of the few, one of
the six or seven or a dozen, who
has had a Broadway theater
named after him. This is the FL
tinge, on And street, once a cele-
brated playhouse but now a dow
dy shooting gallery given to the
cinema of the third and fourth
run variety.
Al Wood. the producer, had a
hand in this theater. Wood is the
sort of producer who likes to keep
miniature sets of his plays in his
office. You walk into his office to-
day, and on his desk you will find
a miniature scaffold, with a dang
ling moose. This is an exact re-
plica of a scene from one of his
earlier hits. Wood, Eltinge and Sol
Bloom built the Eltinge. 1T was a
beautiful little house." Julian re-
calls, "but we discovered a few
days before opening it that it had
no elevator or dressing rooms So
we had the carpenters tack up
little cubbies in the wings, for
dressing rooms. They we're man.
killers and back-breakers. l guess
they we're the worst dressing
rooms of the cottage" variety IN
theatrical history. We had a little
toy elevator put in, too-a mlnla-
ture scenic railway holding a man
and a half. We tried to get some
value out of it by advertising it as
the smallest elevator in the
world"

past few years many universities
have built up magnificent courses
in the theater. where any young
actor can receive training from
talented directors.
The University of Iowa. for
example, has a stage which rivals
any New York stage excepting
Radio City Music Hall.
Many of these large universities

even larger number have courses

your first a"ting training may be
of two varieties--stage and radio
The acting profession used to Of
fer a valuable rough-and-tumble
training for the youngster in the
stock companies almost every fair
sized city boosted. Today stock is
almost dead, and summer stock is
still too scattered and casual to
provide an adequate substitute.
Little theaters are valuable,
however. The young actor should
interest himself in a god little
theater group
I believe that whether you seek
a career on the stage, radio, or in
the films, the theater is your best
preliminary training. There you
feel an audience; you learn how to
play to it.
You learn ensemble work, inte-
grating your portrayal with the
rest of the cast. You learn the
million and one general tricks of
the stage.
After that, it's not too hard to
pick up the specialized tech
n'ques you need for radio and
films.
BY now, we'll say you're an
adequate actor. So you study the
markets for your talents.
One serious defect among
youngsters coming to New York
for a radio career is their COM
plete lack of knowledge of the
structural set-up o. radio. They
don't dunder stand that q network
