hind him which suggests momentum
oIreody established in that direction
The most important job Of the ot-
torney general, he sold in times like
these, is to protect civil liberties. This
constructive view Of federal office as
guardian and custodion Of liberties ro-
ther than mere prosecutor Of Of
lenses, is heortenine.
The United Stotes is entering into
q period when there will be strong ten
denotes to restrict and even to destroy
civil liberties. An attorney general de-
termined to uphold them is one hopeful
foctor in their preservation. Another
is equal determination on the port Of
the people themselves to use. but not
to abuse them.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. Is -
Lacking any evidence from q
nationwide survey, you'd guess
that an overwhelmingly share
of marriage proposals are pro-
pounded in parked cars, or may
be in the living rooms of young
ladies' homes, but that isn't what
happened in movies.
I was reminded of the force
of the scenarists' struggle for
novelty while watching q scene
for ''They Died With Their Boots
On" in which Enrol Flynn was
doing the "Will you be ~mine?"
business with Olivia de Havil-
land. The striking thing about
it was that Flynn was not pro-
posing during a battle, nor while
swimming at the bottom of a
we'll, nor while skidding on his
ear down the front steps of his
lady-love's verenda. Mr.. Flynn,
as a West Pointer, was proposing
in conventional fashion on the
academy's famed Filtration
Walk.
So I get to recollecting and
checking among the new pic
lures There are two proposals
in Kings Row." In one Of these
the girl, Ann Sheridan, does the
talking. She proposes to Ronald
Reagan in her bedroom. But it's
all right, really, because Reagan
has been taken there after an
accident. Also, Robert Cum
mings proposes to his gal, the as
yet-uncast Cassie, beside q pond
while being pelted during
