ORSON WELLES IN
 MOVIES AT LAST
''Man From Mars" Is Put Through His Faces, But
 Doesn't Like It

Hollywood, July 24.-(UP)-With bloodshot gloss eyeballs glued to his own orbs and a rounded stomach of rubber strapped across his middle, Orson Welles, the man from Mars, stepped before the cameras today to confound the wiseacres who said he'd never find the time to make a movie.
 The 25-year-old Welles was play ing the part of a 70-year-old man in drama of the silver sheet writ ten, produced, and directed by him for a fee of $150,000 cash, in ad- vance. Cameras began to grind al- most exactly one year after he ar- rived in Hollywood with appropriate fanfare as the youngest triple-threat in movie history. Today's shots were for testing purposes; formal start of his picture is scheduled for August 1.
 With tears of pain dripping from beneath his imitation eyes, which were glazed and Streaked with red to make him look old, the incredible Welles said his picture was entitled Citizen Kane. He said he intend ed it to be the portrait of an egoist a man who made fortune-and the devil take the hindmost.
 He said also that he still was broke and that his $150,000 fee from R-K-O wouldn't be of much help because he had collected-and spent most of it in advance.
 Two False Starts
 He has made two false starts since coming here. One was Heart of Darkness" a spectacular drama of Africa, which he wrote and was in the midst of preparing for the cam eras when the studio said it was going to be too expensive for times like these.
 Welles bounced back with a novel he purchased, "Smiler With a Knife" He wrote the scenario for that, too, and everybody agreed it was good story, only it had only a minor part for Orson Welles. The master minds said the star had to have the biggest part in the picture. So Welles shrugged his massive shoulders again and started for the third time, in Citizen Kane." The experts agreed this one was okay.
 They assigned him to the boudoir once used by Gloria Swanson, which still is furnished in satin and has

INDUSTRY CLICKS
 MEN NOW NEEDED
Defense Program Prog ressing Rapidly; Army
 Volunteers a Concern

Indications point to the fact that the industries of the country have accepted the challenge of the times. "Acceleration of manufacture for defense purposes has already been effected" said General J. A. Wood- ruff, commanding the First Corps Area, at a recent conference.
 He also made the pertinent obser- vation that machines may be of the latest design, they may operate more efficiently than any ever be- fore manufactured, they may stand up under great strain and maneuver over the toughest terrain, but as a substantical asset for defense they are worthless until we put Life in the Metal"
 Before the production of these machines has reached its peak, we must have man for each one ready to jump into the drivers seat New methods of warfare do not permit the immobility ofSa defence force. The force must be moving, ever changing defence ready to ga to the points of attack at a mo- ment's notice. Training takes time The General stated that each branch of service in the army has prepared for the training, a course of study that is geared to meet present day needs. The army is ready to accept and train recruits oc foct oc py,1icfpoaptc orn offoootd The greatest need is for men to start this training.
 In this connection it is noted that openings are available in the Field Artillery, Quartermaster Corps

IC.N.G. MEMBERS
 BEING CHECKED
Congressman Smith Made Suggestion; Canada
 Wants U. s. Bases

A census of National Guard mem- bers in Connecticut to ascertain how many are employed in the states vital war industries has been sug- gested by Rep. J. Joseph Smith of this city and member of the house military affairs committee.
 Such 8 check-up is very necessary today, said the Waterbury congress man, and he urges that it be made immediately before guardsmen are engaged in their annual training maneuvers or are actually called to active duty. He believes that right here in the fifth district there are large number of skilled mechanics and craftsmen, who should not be removed from their important tasks even for military service.
 Rep. Smith has endorsed Presi- dent Roosevelt's announced plan to call the National Guard into train ing.
 At Congressman Smiths Water bury office today, as well as in WdoILulS UOll, COuLl 1ctGCIS were being received from Canadians sup porting his plan to have the United States set up naval and air bases in Nova Scotia for the mutual pro- lection of Canada and the United States from attacks via the north Atlantic.
 One Canadian writer even sent a map of Nova Scotia in which he had outlined sections that he regarded as strategic points and locations that might prove ideal for Notifications.
 This plan to fortify Nova Scotia was coupled with 8 general idea of Atlantic coast protection and in- cluded also the British-governed island of Bermuda. Two of Rep. Smiths Democratic colleagues on the military affairs committee, Reps. Charles I. Faddis of Pennsylvania and Joseph w. Byrns, Jr., of Ten nessee, joined him in calling for such action.

GIBRALTAR FACES ITS STERNEST TEST
Rock Believed First Target Of Combined Totalitarian Attack
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 German troops are reported fil- tering into Spain. Francisco Franco clamors for the return of the Rock of Gibraltar to Spanish rule
 British control of that forbidding western gateway to the Mediter- ranean is threatened as never be- fore.
 For more than two centuries the Rock" has stood as a constant re- hinder to passing ships of the might of the British Empire. Now it is slowly strangling Italy's sea commerce.
 Gibraltar's two square miles have been much fought over. The Moors and the Spaniards battled back and forth for centuries until the British seized the Rock in 1704, then with stood a severe Spanish and French siege in 1779-1783 to establish the control which has stood since then.
 In that time, the Rock has been impregnable. But now military experts wonder whether its bris- ting guns could stand effective guard in the face of prolonged attack by long-range guns and air. planes.
 Batteries near Ceuta, across the straits in Spanish Morocco, are trained on the Rock. as are others on the Spanish mainland, near AL geciras.
 Consensus of military men is that the guns of Gibraltar could still close the straits: whether they could keep them closed is more doubtful.
