Felix Jackson. The latter was q
critic and playwright in Germany
before Hitler took over. He's an
American citizen now and proves 1t
with a season box seat at the local
baseball park. He's also known as
Joe"
He's Had q Varied Career.
Manning Is no longer an obscure
newcomer. He has q solid and
somewhat of knockabout literary
background and an oversupply of
that quality called personality but
which might be passed of as simply
the verbal guile of his Irish ancestry.
He's one Of the best conversational
writer's in the industry
Born in upper New York State,
reared in New York, he has served
his years on newspapers in the big
city, Chicago, way points and his
adopted home, New Orleans. He
wrote several murder mystery books,
alone with his author-wife, Gwen
Bristow, and all of sudden found
himself with a picture contract.
1t was for six weeks and that was
all the time he gave himself. Yet
he's been here six years and his
contract has doubled and redoubled.
But" he will remind you, they're
still keeping Job for me on the
copy desk down in New Orleans.
You can't tell about this business"
He offers refreshing contrast to
the usual Hollywood success. He
still likes the place. Likes pictures,
and his weekly four figure paycheck
Is constant source Of amazement
to him.
His Durbin successes paved the
way for q new deal as producer.
something he never dreamed would
happen when he first came to this
place. And for a guy with no rela-
tives, he has drawn big assignment
for his initial venture in this field.

know what remarkable events we're

he didn't even have q relative In the
business!
How could these picture people
foresee that this fellow would team
up with three virtual exiles from
the continent and a young lassie In
Hollywood, and together they would
turn out such an astonishing sue
cession Of million dollar hits that:
One Of the largest and Oldest
studios in Hollywood would be saved
from bankruptcy.
The name of a new star, Deanna
Durbin. would burst over the local
cinema heavens.
And the newcomer himself would
see the day in 1910 when his ONCE
door would bear the words: Bruce
Manning, producer.
But They Did Meet.
Go back to the spring of 1884
Deanna Durbin was just youngster
trying to get an addition in FINLAND
Henry Roster was a director and
Felix Jackson a playwright in Berlin
and Joe Pasternak was a producer
in Budapest. The only thing they
had In common was that none knew
the others and none was known in
Hollywood.
But the turn of the wheel and the
calendar threw this group together
ct Universal City. The story is that
financially harassed executives
didn't know what to do with them
individually, so they tossed them to-
gether. put up small budget and
told them to do something.
They did. They made a fortune
for universal and Aim history with
such Durbin pictures as 100 Men

Three Smart Girls Grow Up" and

BELCIANS FACE
FOOD SHORTAGE
German Red Cross Report
ed Trying To Forestall
Critical Situation

BERLIN, June % -RH A ser
ious food shortage in Belgium, par
ticularly in the rural regions, was
reported today by observers n
Brussels watching the little king
dom try to adjust itself to German
occupation.
The German Red Cross, financed
domestically and from abroad, was
reported attempting to forestall a
critical situation and German re-
lief was said to be reaching Bel
GUM in increasing quantities.
Belgium, which previously i'm
ported much food by sea, now is
closed off by the British blockade
and in the confusion of the war
appears unable to adjust itself to
the purely continental economy in
time to replace fully the supplies
brought by ships.
The Red Cross in the country
districts is distributing bread, bis
cults, condensed milk and canned
Sugar, butter, eggs and
cured meat generally are scarce.
Clothing is less urgently needed.
The food problem is bound up
with the. refugee question. Thou
sands Of Belgian residents left
their homes before the swift Ger
man thrust and great quantities
Of food we're reported destroyed to
prevent the supplies from falling
into German hands.
The Germans, however, appro-
.riated food stored in unoccupied
houses on the ground that the own
ers had departed for an extensive
stay in France and such f o d
should be preserved. 4

j. R. Thomas, manager Of the

use and that subscribers were not
encountering any difficulty in their
service.
The switch-over from the o d

night.

MUCH BOOTY SEIZED
HitIer's Army Pushes For
ward In Rhone Valley
From Lyon Eastwards

BERLIN, June % - The fall of
St. Nazaire, shipbuilding port at
the mouth of the Loire w h e r e
France constructed some of her
mightiest naval and mercantile
marine units, including the Nor
mandie, was announced today by
the German High Command.
The communique also claimed
the sinking of a 10000 ton trans
port and another of 900, tons by
German fliers, and the sinking of
a Is, 090-ton allied tanker, picked
out of a convoy by a submarine.
Much Booty Taken
The capture of St. Nazaire with
enormous booty" including tanks
loaded for transport, was accom-
plished, the high command said,
even as Adolf Hitler's conquering
army was pushing forward in the
Rhone valley in a southerly di-
rection from Lyon and eastwards.
They forced a crossing over the
Rhone at the approaches to the
Savoyan Alps southwest of Gene
the communique said.
(St. Nazaire, familiar to thou
sands Of American troops during
the World War, is the home Of the
shipbuilding yards of the Loire
company and Compagnie Gener-
ale Transatlantique - the French
It has important steel works
and blast furnaces)

CONGRESS BEGINS
WEEKS VACATION
Immediate Must Legis-
lation' Is Cleared By
Senate And House

WASHINGTON, June 23-R-
Congress, having cleaned up all
immediate must legislation" be-
gan a weeks recess today amid
expectations that vital new meas
ures soc would go on it's calendar.
With spending already at a
peace-time record of $14, 539, 970-
Gilmore than a third of it for
ornamental least two other ma
jor defense steps appear in pros
pect.
These are a universal training
program which President Roose-
welt disclosed is under %considera-
ton, and a billion-dollar program
of building government munitions
plants.
The latter proposal is understood
to have been strongly recommend
ed by the national defense COM
mission.
Much unfinished business al
ready awaits the legislators when
they re-convene July l at the con-
clusion of the republican national
convention.
Senate committees will begin
hearings then on President Roose-
velt's nominations of Henry L.
Stimson to be Secretary of War
and Colonel Frank Knox to b e
Secretary of the Navy. Unless the
two republicans can satisfy some
doubling members that they are
opposed to military Intervention In
the European war, a bitter fight
NAV ensue over confirmation OF
the nominations. @
Taxation is not a dead issue Tor
the session, although both houses
gave final approval Saturday 10 a
billion-dollar d~efense-tax bill. In
final form, this measure did not
include a schedule of excess pro-
fits levies voted by the senate, a
provision which was stricken out
after house and senate c~onferees
had agreed that taxation of this
nature should be enacted later.
The treasury a asked to draft
a bill by October l.
Chairman Harrison (D-Miss) OF
the senate finance committee pre-
dicted that another large revenue
bill. containing a war profits levy,
would be brought before congress
within 30 days.
The senate has yet to pass upon
the administrations $4,000, O0O, 600
naval expansion program, pushed
through the house Saturday with
ont a roll call and with a minimum
If debate. This legislation would
authorize the mightiest fleet in
the history of the world, to be
constructed over a 7-year period. 3
