For instance, take the case of
Roland Berscheid, Warner Bros.

armament Job for Sergeant York" 4"
II took him three weeks 10 find
and obtain delivery of the 1880
rounds Of rife ammunition and the
1900 rounds Of machine gun bullets
used in the battle scenes Of the pic
ture.
The cartridges, Of course, were
blanks. Even so, shells and powder
are at such a premium because Of
the rearmament effort that Ber-
