Trade Program Foes
Center ON Demand
For Congress 0. K.
Republicans See Better
AChunce to Restrict
Than to Defect Plan
Dy the Associated Press.

~ tue hsSOCi6teu EtcSSs
Opponents of the administration s
trade agreements program decided
yesterday to center their efforts on
winning a requirement for con-
gressional approval Of all future
compacts.
Republicans said privately they
believed they had much better
chance to get such a restriction
adopted than to defeat the reso-
luton, which will come up in the
House tomorrow to extend the Trade
Act for three years beyond June IL.
Democratic leaders predicted fatty
that continuation of the program in
its present form would be approved
overwhelmingly.
Debate on the resolution will be-
gin late tomorrow, when Chairman
Doughton of the Ways and Means
Committee enunciates the admins
tration's belief that "our highest
national interests require" contin-
uance of the program.
Under the leadership of Repre-
sentative Treadway of Massachu-
sets, Republicans will argue that
the Trade Treaty Act has failed to
help agriculture and industry and
should not be continued. "particu-
larly in view of present and pro-
spective world conditions"
These diametrically opposed views
already have been expressed in re-
ports to the House by Democratic
and Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee.
Fourteen Democrats of the COM
mittee asserted that the trade
agreements had been highly bene-
ficial" and were concrete evidence
that the Nation was seeking a sound
economic basis on which to build
q stable peace"
Ten Republicans said that the
program has not been conducive to
world peace and added:
"We challenge the State Depart
ment to show single concrete con-
tribution which the program has
made to that end. The peace argu-
ment for the program is obviously
an appeal to emotion rather than
to reason. A large volume of trade
between two countries is no guar
antee of peaceful relations"

There's no such word, according
to John Fulton, the young man
who made the Invisible Man invis.
ible.
Fulton did the impossible in
1888, when Universal's The Invis-
ible Man" startled the worlds film
audiences. He does it again this
year, with newer and more as

playing at the Royal theatre.
Universal purchased "The Invis-
IDLE Man" in 1888 from another stu
dio which had given it up as i'm
possible to film. Fulton. studio spe-
cial effects expert, told Universal
executives that nothing is impos-
sible." Then he proved it.
Widespread success of the earlier
film induced the studio to draft an
other story around the uncanny
character of the Invisible Man and
to recall Fulton and staff for even
more ingenious effects than were
contained in the previous shocker.

vides the sort Of entertainment stuff
admirably suited to the talents of
Bling Crosby, Dorothy Lamour and
Bob Hope, those fugitives from the

more than happy, cracking jokes and
c%ocoanuts and tearing off a song
or two in Road to Singapore the
new Paramount comedy musical

From the moment when Bob and
Bing open the picture by disposing
of one of Bob's old girl friends with
a game of "Pattycake" in which
they pat hands, then sock a couple
Of gorillas, to the equally sportive
conclusion, the picture is a series
of d%ovetailed gags which Hope and
his radio helper, Professor Colonna,
pull out of the palm trees or any
other convenient source. The other
important persons involved in these
proceedings are the aforementioned
Colonna, Charles Coburn, Judith Bar.
rett and Anthony Quinn.
After Bob and Bling have dispos-
ed of the gorillas, the boys u into
more trouble when Bing's father,
Charles Coburn, tells him he'll have
to buckle down so that he can take

picture breaks sharply away from

cess story theme on which most
band leader films have been based.
With engaging candor, the produc-
ers admit that such a theme is
threadbare-and develop their plot
around the ingenious thesis that
it is impossible to find any other
theme.
Consequently, the story deals
with the hilarious but futile efforts
of a big Hollywood film company
to make a picture with Kyser and
