STRAND

-Four Sons starring Don Ameche with 8 big supporting cast; also Manhattan Heartbeat" with Vir- ginia Gilmore and Robert Sterling comprise the excellent screen bill to be seen and enjoyed for the last times tomorrow evening at the pop- ular Warner Bros. Strand theater.
 Susan and God" the stage hit that made Broadway gasp and howl for months, comes to the screen at the Strand on Wednesday as the grandest gayest screen entertain ment in years.
 Star-studded with Joan Crawford and Frederic March in the co-star- ring leads; it is really comedy that should be seen by everyone.
 The film is hailed as being scan- dalously funny and presents Miss Crawford in her most effervescent role as a dizzy darling with love enough for the whole world but not enough for just one man. She por- trays the role of Susan and March is seen as her husband Barrie.
 Story of a social gadabout who adopts new social fad and insists on trying to convert her friends. only to make Q muddle of their lives and her own, the film boasts one of the strongest casts of the season in support of the two stars. Ruth Hus- sey is seen as Charlotte, family friend who is secretly in love with Barrie. Rita Hayworth is Leonora the young actress who is married to the much older Hutchins stubbs. played by Nigel Bruce, but who Is in the throes of a Irritation with a young matinee idol.

WAR MOVES ON
 TODAY'S BOARD

delays in starting the invasion that this time Hitler has been restrained by the German high command; but he is subject to sudden uncontrolla- ble mood and it still is possible that he may peremptorily give the order to invade at any time. That is the reason why Prime Minister Church. i'll warned the British people last week not to believe the danger of an attempted invasion has passed.
 Sane, Military Realism
 Were sane military realism to hold the decision, invasion might now be written off, if for no other reason than the nearness of autumn tenn pests, imperilling Germans cross channel communications even though an invasion had some pre- liminary success. But, if Hitler brooks no restraint and thrusts to his destiny rather than military ad- vice, he will drive his army through the choppy channel waves, true to his promise to try to annihilate Great Britain for rejecting his peace offer. That is the ambiguous factor of the invasion issue which causes opinion to fluctuate from day to day.
 Judging by Rome's admission that the issue will go into next year, it would seem highly probable that Mussolini has joined those advising Hitler to be cautious about invad- ing the British Isles. A defeat would have quick repercussions in Italy. even though the German people might hold to Hitler somewhat long, CT, fearing. otherwise, second Ver- sailles infliction.
 Italians Not Pleased
 There are large numbers of Ital- ians who have no affection for Hit Ter and who look with disquietude on the way Germany is dictating settlements in the Balkans. They would not wish to see Hitler master of the continent with Italy playing a valet's role. having yo take the cast off garments of the Nazi dic- tator.
 An unsuccessful German effort to occupy the British Isles thus would surely start revision of opinion in Italy about German invincibiiity. Italy would have to begin to look to her own interests. That in turn would hold out possibilities of Brit- ish diplomacy offering Italy an in- dependent settlement which Musso- iini ct least would have to take un- amE nousidnrakian.

ItaIy's Miracle Planes

Rome, Aug. 5-CUP)-The avia- tion weekly Vie Dell Aria asserted today that Italy possesses bombing planes not only capable of making long distance raids on Gibraltar but also able to fly all the way to the United States with full load Of explosives.
 The periodical took issue with a statement attributed to the Amer ican military writer, Major George Fielding Eliot, to the effect that Italian planes could not have made the recent bombing attacks on Gi- braltar. Eliot, the weekly said, was minimizing Italian aerial feats in the Mediterranean because Ameri- cans feared Italian competition in the Latin American airplane mar ket. It added:
 "Major Eliot must be very strange type of man in that, follow ing the numerous victorious enter prises of axis aviation, he has doubts on the possibility of reach ing one of the doors of the Medi- terranean from the center of this sea and suggests that Italian bomb- CTS utilized air bases on French or Spanish territory for their air raids against Gibraltar.
 "Italian aviation, which is one of the best trained in the world for long distance flights in mass forma- ton, has planes capable of span ming A distance greater than that which separates the old world from the new. even carrying 6 full load of bombs.
 "our great bombers are so equip- ped and built as to allow their pi- lots to choose for their air raids against Gibraltar whatever base they desire. either on the Italian mainland or on the continent.
 Major Eliot must have known this, but as 6 good friend of our enemies, he didn't want to neglect ' the occasion-certainv ill-chosen'-

 U. S. To Take West Indies
 Rome, Aug. 5 = (UP0 - The weekly magazine ''Le Forge Armate" said today that the United States soon would take over the British and Dutch West Indies.
 England received bitter sur prise from the United States" the magazine said. Lord Lothian (Brit- ish ambassador to the United States), especially following the statement that England is Amer ica's Maginot line, counted on aid from his AngloSaxon cousins in the Americas and expected to see Bri- tain regarded as dying person by responsible overseas governments which even took up the division of inheritance before death. "This, in fact, is what occurred at the Hav- ana conference where the best way of dividing the skin of the British Lion was discussed in advance. This discussion of the fate of the Euro pean possessions in the new world was most significant inasmuch as the United States organized the Ha- vana conference for the purpose of warning the Totalitarian powers i and for the purpose of establishing a united barrier against the victor les of Fascism and Nazism.
 There also was secret goal of the United States of imperialism aimed at placing the Anglo-French possessions in the new world under a collective mandate of the Amer ican nations as 8 springboard to attain complete domination of these possessions in the future. The fact of the matter is that already it has been foreseen that the United States intends to occupy the West Indies-even with force, if neces- sary."
 Criticizes Pope Plus
 Rome, Aug. 5 - (UP0 - The diplomatic weekly newspaper "cor- riere Diplomatico" criticized Pope Plus and the Vatican indirectly to- day because of the Catholic church's request that Rome be re- spected as an "open city"
 The newspaper said that the re- quest might be construed as giving the impression that the British have not bombed Rome because of the church's attitude and not because Of the fear of reprisals.
 The newspaper added that 1t rec ognized the Pope's request as a lofty motive" but asserted that Rome's best defense was the 1tal- ian armed forces.
 Why generate in the public opin- ion the idea that if Rome has not undergone the enemy's vile offense that this only due to the Holy Fathers intervention and as if our air force was unable to save it from damages?" The newspaper said "Why not admit that such a men, ace has been avoided because the enemy is convinced that an attempt of this sort would be very costly?"

 arrests or not connected with the arrest of Britons in Japan on al- leged espionage charges.
 Despite British denials, the view was generally taken here that ar- rests of Japanese in Great Britain and at Hong Kong, Singapore and Rangoon, Burma, were an answer to the arrests of Britons in Japan.
 Newspapers, according to their degree of anger and their political complexion, demanded variously the repatriation of all Japanese in Brit ain, the recall of the Japanese am- bassador to Britain and diplomatic break, and even declaration of war.
 Asahi said that persistence in ar- resting Japanese would force retail iation which might plunge Anglo Japanese relations into extreme danger.
 London, Aug. 5-CUP)-A gov- ernment statement may be made tc the House of Commons tomorrow it was understood today, on British Japanese relations and the increas- ingly serious dispute caused by ar- rests of Britons in Japan and the "coincidental" arrests of prominent Japanese in Britain and elsewhere in the empire.
 Ambassador Mamoru Shigemitsu had sent to Tokyo full report on his visit to the foreign office Satur- day and awaited his governments instructions on further action. It was disclosed that in addition to the "coincidental" arrest of two prominent Japanese industrialists here, British authorities had arrest ed three weeks ago Takayuh Eguchi employed by the bank of Formosa and Mrs. Milley Yoshii, German born wife of 8 Japanese painter, il was understood, and had now issued deportation orders against both. A United Press disptach from Hong Kong had announced the ar rest Sunday of Geturo Yamaguchi Japanese business man who since his recent arrival was reported te have made frequent visits between Hong Kong and Japanese-occupiec Canton, China. Well informed cir. cles expected additional arrests. the dispatch said.
 At Singapore, a United Press Singapore dispatch said, Ishiro Ko- bayashi, manager of the Eastern News Agency, a Japanese agency operating there, had been arrested The Japanese embassy received word that three Japanese had beer arrested at Rangoon, Burma. Al were described as business men.
 The embassy said that four mort Britons arrested in Japan had now released, and that five remianec under arrest. British sources said that seven Britons were still held. Report Affirmed, Denied

New Midget Submarine.

Rome, Aug. 5.-(UP)-The Jap anese Navy will soon put into op- eration a new kind of midget sub- marine, built of a secret alloy which is superior in many respects to standard -size submarines, the newspaper La Stampa of Turin said today.
 The new submarines, which have passed all tests, are armed with three torpedo tubes although they are only IS feet long and of 10 tons displacement. La Stampa added.
 Capable of speeding 36 knots. the tiny craft also can submerge to q depth of more than 1900 feet which the newspaper said, is about SIS feet deeper than ordinary subna- rines may safely go.
 "This submarine" La stamps said. lis built of a secret alloy ca- pablo of resisting the most powerful depth bombs and, owing to its ex- ceptionaliy small dimensions. offers hardly any target without losing any of It's effectiveness.

Retires Alter Prison.


 Shortly after leaving prison Cook retired to Niagara Falls, N r., and wrote his memoirs. In 1886 he wrote to the American Geographical Society, demanding recognition as discoverer of the North Pole. He asserted that the reports of Lin- coin Ellsworth, Admiral Richard E. Byrd and other explorers had con- firmed his claim.
 The libel suits followed. Disillusioned, Dr. Cook had lived alternately with his sister, Mrs. Ada Murphy of Toms River. N. J.; a daughter, Mrs. Helen Vetter of Sny- der.
