got in Hawaii, where it had been
sent, just before JapanS attack, to
film idyllic background shots for
another Sarong opera.
A player then told how a Para
mount company on a similar mis-
Japs but by the Hays Office. This
outfit was to make atmosphere
shots Tor the new Dorothy Lamour
picture, and it assembled a lot of
people and dancers for a festival
sequence. Back in Hollywood,
thrown away because the-ah-na-
vels of the women dancers were viS-
though. every foot of the film was
ible. In the movies, adult human
Beings don't have those things.
Another troupe, also commits
stoned to make BACKGROUND scenes
for current picture, was obliged
to hire a blond woman to double
in long shots for the star of the
movie To their alarm, they dis
covered that blondS were very scarce
indeed. This wasn't in Hawaii And
finally they had to engage the most
notorious Jc.2bel III that region
of the tropics. The ccnSorS and
public will never know however;
at considerable distance the
strumpet looks acceptably like the
localized glamour girl.
WHALE OF A STORY
Assistant Director Robert Webb
got to yarning about some location
trips he had made in the Pacific
beginning with the one away back
to THE Sea Beast. That was done
off the coast of Alaska. one day
l rented a half whale and hired
boat to tow it % miles out to where
we were shooting" he recalled. We
were going to make the cloSeupS
showing John Barrymore harpoon-
ing the critter.
But when we got to the spot
there was no tugbOat and no whale.
The director was just asking Sar-
castically, Well Mr. Webb, what do
we do now?' when I heard feeble
toot. Less than 400 yards away was
a Japanese fishing boat towing a tine,
fresh 90-foot whale. I'm sure IT was
the only time in my life that /
was glad to see a Jap. | hired the
whale for an hour for $50 and we
got SCme swell shots
PAGO-PAGO PAY
He had an adventure in Pago-
Pago. too. with 28O0 angry natives.
Il had hired 28OO of them for
single big scene" Webb said. AL
they were supposed to do was rush
down to the shore. scramble int
war canoes and furiDusly paddle
away.
But just as we were ready K
shoot. the head man announced :
sit-doWn strike More dough. /
couldn't pay more because the
United States Navy had told us Il
stick to a certain scale that native
employers paid them during the
rest OF the year.
We'll, we argued, but there Jus
wasn't any budRing them. FINAL,
pretended to tell the two Gamer;
crews to pack up, but actually J
tipped them to get all ready t.

we had decided to skip this scene
which we really didn't need. Ant
1 made him really mad. l said
You tell your blanketY men to pc
in their blankety-blank boats ant
get the blank off this beach a.
quick as they CAM
He was SO mad we we're scared
for a minute. Then he hollered
something and the, natives yelled
and the whole caboodle got into the
canoes and went away from there.
The cameras kept turning, and we
got just what we wanted. To keep
faith with the Navy, l arranged to

LONDON, Dec. 18. CUP)-NethcH-
lands and Australian troops have
occupied the NetherlandS-Po Portuguese
land of Timor, at the east end of
the Netherlands East Indies, includ-
ing the Portuguese area, the Neither
| lands East Indies information bI-
reau announced officially today.
The reaction of Portugal, whose
cabinet met urgently last night and
which had emphasized the friend
illness of its relations with Japan
was awaited anXiou5ly in diplomatic
| quarters.
The occupation was effected be-
cause of the threat that the Japa-
nese would seize the island and
make it a base for submarines in an
attempt to cut communications .
Australia.
Netherlands quarters said Portu-
guese authorities in the island had
put their objections TO the occupa-
ton on record but that the landing
and occupation had been effected
without resistance.
The allied forces occupied the is
land, situated within easy striking
distance of northern Australia and
New Guinea, yesterday.
FORSTALLS THREAT
Netherlands informants said the
occupation had been decided upon in
view Of grave threat by Japan,
and that Portuguese sovereignty
would not be impaired. They SAID
the allied troops would be with
drawn as soon as possible.
1t was asserted the occupation was
essential first because the island
was almost entirely undcfcnded. Sec
ondly because Japanese submarines
had been seen off the Netherlands
part OF the island and thirdly be-
cause Of the danger that Timor
might become a submarine base

for attacks on allied shipping.
Even before the submarines were
spotted, it was asserted, there had
been japanese aerial us well as
naval activity off Timor.
The allies had been convinced
that the Japanese we're about to
seize both the Portuguese and the
Netherlands shares of the island.
Danger was increased because
Portugal had only recently granted
