 And then starting tomorrow the State ushers in another double hit bill with Leap Years biggest com- edy 'The Doctor Takes 6 Wife" as the headliner.
 The film is obviously just what the doctor ordered in the way of screen entertainment and if you want to laugh yourself healthy we advise seeing this gay comedy.

In order to continue their ca reers, this perfectly matched pair of haters are forced by circumstances beyond their control into pretending domestic felicity. They bill and coo in public, and then they battle and clash in private.
 Complicating the lives of this em- battled twain are Reginald Gardiner, as Miss Young's somewhat eccentric publisher, and Gail Patrick as Ray Milland's fiance, who Is willing to accept the strange situation in which the doctor finds himself. just so long as the doctor doesn't mind if she goes out with Georges Mextaxa.

 The board referred to a committee bid of $500 by Peter Frank for permission to operate the refresh- ment stands at Lakewood park for the season.

 A bid of $400 by John J. Rock to operate the concession at the city golf course was voted down. Super intendent Curtain said that the department had cleared $90O by operating the concession itself last year.

Nazi- Refined Trojan Horse" Won't Go Galloping Around Patriotic Sweden---Johnson
Even So, Secret Service ROundSUp Suspected Colts
BY THOMAS M. JOHNSON NEA Service Military Writer

No Trojan horses can hurdle, no Fifth Column march over Sweden. The last Scandinavian democracy still unscathed is in far more danger of attack from without, than of treachery from within.

Even so, the Nazis are being round- ed up by the Swedish secret service, which has stopped their only news paper and arrested one party mem Der for having joined with volunteers returning from Finland in burning 8 Communist newspaper plant.
 The charge is legalistic, for most Swedes like Communists about as well as they do Nazis, and the Hitler Stalin pact about ended German in- fluence in Sweden.
 NAZIS NO
 GOOD HERE
 Today the NaH party Is as popu- lar in Sweden as the celebrated skunk at 8 garden party. It always was weaker in Sweden than in any other Scandinavian country. AL though Sweden has proportional representation, the Nazis have never mustered votes enough to elect a sin- gle deputy to the Riksdag, nor even dog catcher for the province of Lapland, where there are said to be few dogs.
 Their leaders include nobody of ability or repute, but are said to be

 In the Swedish army there has been no evidence of such treachery as deliveed some Norwegian defenses to the Nazis.
