A Vital Step

Alan Mowbray. and with the aid

Queen of Naples. 1t is at this
point that she meets Horatio
Nelson and helps him to bottle up

friendship ripenS into love and the
rest is pretty much what history
relates.
Their devotion TO one another,
even in the face of scandal and
public frowning. and the ignoring

paints highly idealized affair.

The usual fate overtakes Alice
Faye. She always is heartbroken,
though bedecked in diamonds, and
every man in the picture is wild

Financial Aid

Cesar Romero. a playboy friend
Of Payne's, helps finance their
initial venture, and when they hit
on the idea of broadcasting the
Dempsey-Willard fight, II looks
like they have a success.
This sequence is particularly
well. since they have used the
actual fight pictures to illustrate
what the boys are trying to put
across.
At about this time Payne and
Alice discover that they really
care about one another, and un-
fortunately Oakie does, too. Dis
illusioned he walks out and he and
Romero form their own corpora

A ROn,ney Portrait

Surely she so resembles her in
certain instances that she looks
exactly like the Romney portraits
of the famous English beauty.
They have carefully CLOSED over
the tragic fate which later over
took Emma Hamilton, leaving her
just at the death of Nelson at
Trafalgar.
Olivier is magnificent as Nelson.
His makeup is not only superb, but
he plays the gruff and hardy naval
hero with a reticence and stalwart
air which is entirely within char
acter. He is masterful in the love
scenes without ever becoming
sentimental, and his death scene
is sharp with realism.

route is open to Nazi attack, though
to lesser degree than the North
Atlantic route. The project also
would pre-suppose British control
of the routes across Africa and
would still leave the short-range
fighters out of reach of England,
though 1t would put them into the
Mediterranean arena.
Still another alternative is the
construction in England of the
Short-range aircraft needed for its
defense and concentration in the
United States upon construction of
long-range bombers and patrol
planes which can span the Atlantic
nonstop.
This procedure is being followed
to considerable extent today. The
great majority of all British war
planes of the smaller sizes are being
built in England, although large
scale construction of pursuit and
dive-bomber types for England is in
process in the United States. The
American aircraft industry, with
assistance of the automobile manu-
featuring industry, is working in
tensively to increase production of
American bombers. Virtually all
of them now are being delivered by

Disapproval of changes in the

last night, on motion by Mrs. D. C.

Utilities Committee.
The proposals involved would in

continue the issuance of transfers
on these routes.

quested that entries be submitted
by March 10.

Trinidad Group Urges

Check Auto VioIators
Police Would Make
Appointments Under
Associations Plan

Appointment of "citiZen traffic
observers" to report violations was
recommended by the Trinidad Citi-
zens' Association on a motion by
George j. Cleary, president, at the
meeting held last night at Wheat
ley School.
The appointments would be made
by the Police Department, to whom
the citizens would report law
breakers. Offenders would be
warned, then punished after re-
peated offenses.
The association called for more
rigid enforcement of the traffic law
governing automobiles passing
streetcars that are loading or un-
loading. Elimination or change of
the location of the streetcar test
brake stop at Second and H streets
NE. was suggested to the Capital
Transit Co. as safety measure.
According to Mr.. Cleary, the test
stop at this point was dangerous,
because motorists had no way of
telling if the streetcars we're COM
ing to full stop or not.
School Funds Requested.
The association protested the &C
ton of the Board of Education in
abandoning the project for a new
Junior high school on Mount Oil
vet road after hearing q report from
Mrs. ]. M. Selby, chairman of the
Education Committee. At the same
time the association reiterated its
request to the Commissioners that
money be granted for an elementary
school in the same section.
The association asked the budget
director to restore items in the
school appropriations which pro-
vided for replacement of obsolete
boilers in schools, replacement of
drinking fountains and toilets, re-
pairs and Improvements to school,
grounds. Fairgrounds and recreation
centers, and for improved lighting.

his prompt action following the
suggestion last month by the Trini-

trict expenses in proportion to its

Turkey remains faithful TO her

the recent non-aggression pact with
Bulgaria. Mehmet Munir Ertegun,

with Undersecretary Of State Sum-

He said he called on Mr.. Welles

ight Cause Spread of War.

4hASh SohoS oPA SAa va w
The iandplane bases are at Arsuk-
ford and Jameson Land, on the
north shore of ScoreSby Sound, and
two on the southwest coast. The
Germans already have explored fly
ing conditions in the Scoresby Sound
region, where they had a meteorolog-
ical station prior to the war. The
seaplane bases would be in the vicin-
ity Of Cape Farewell, one at Juliane-
haab, the other at Sangmissok.
Development Of bases in Green
land and Iceland, however, might
result in immediate spread of the
war into those areas, since 1t is con-
sidered almost certain the Germans
would attempt to break up such a
vital supply line to England. AL
ready German planes have machine
gunned British flying field in Ice
land. The plan also would necessi-
tate the seizure of Greenland by
either Britain or the United States.
This, however, would at once be-
come necessary in event of any Ger
man attempt to establish a foot
nOlQ IneTS, since Ile proposed
Greenland bases are only 1900 miles
from United States soil.
Another difficulty which would
have to be overcome before such a
route could be opened would be the
Establishment of a fuel supply serv-
ice to Greenland and Iceland, either
by sea or air. This, however. would
not be as difficult as the shipment
of airplaneS by steamship to Eng
land it was pointed out.
Difficulties on Latin Route.
The flying of short-range Ameri-
can-built warplanes by way of South
America and Africa is open to a
number of difficulties. 1t would
neceSSitate a cooperation on the
part of Latin American nations
which would virtually put them into
the war, it has been argued. The
planes would still have to be trans
ported across the Atlantic, since the
1,700-mile gap between Natal, Bra
zil, and Dakar, West Africa, still is
too great for pursuits and dive
