ferent bit of advice to give the
bride-to-be. The vicar insists upon
rehearsal upon giving his bit Of
advice in addition to that of the
relatives.
Each little incident with its effect
upon every one, but especially the
lovers, is developed with a fullness
which shows how hardy love must
be to survive the wild enthusiasm
of those living on its fringe. 1t
is done to the accompaniment of
that vague, off-hand dialogue whose
meaninglessness gives so much
meaning to English pictures. The
dialogue is at its best, as 1t fire.
quently is, in a courtroom scene
which represents the climax in the
catastrophe trivialities which be-
set the lovers.
The multitude OF characters in
"Quiet Wedding" make the picture
a complete panorama of English
family life. There is the fiercely
planning, blank minded mother; the
loving father who goes around in
a kind of amused daze: the doting
aunts of varied moral standards
and equally varied experience; the
married daughter who has left her
husband because he always says the
same thing at after-dinner coffee;
the bored brother and the emotion
ally naive one; and, of course,
there's cook with her love of con-
spiracy, and great many others.
A more engaging lot of people
you are hardly likely to find in many
a more pretentious picture.

The picture, which opens at the
Hiser Theater on Wednesday, was
screened Saturday before an audi
ence which included Australian
Minister Robert J. Casey and his
wife and members of the Legation
staff. 1t represents an effort
to start a domestic motion picture
industry in Australia. 1t is easy
to call the start an excellent one. ;.

of the dialogue and the business re-
quired of the fiiers is of home
bodies, too. But boys dominate this
home and the fatherly officers are
there only to point up the boyish-
ness of their charges
No doubt, the British felt that
boys can take a deeper hold more
swiftly on a greater number of af-
fections than men can. Mr.. Goeb-
bells seems to have believed the
opposite. We think the British were
right.
From a political point Of view, the
Germans attempted a complicated
thing in their propaganda pictures.
They tried to remove the stencil Of
Prussianism from their armies by
showing the fraternal feelings
among officers and men-a fraternal
feeling which, incidentally, has been
ordered by the Nazis and compelled
by the NaZis without quite being
created by them, according to our
information. But complicating their
efforts in this direction was their
attempt by means of shots of Slavish
alteration to make a warrior god
out of the pudgy neurotic they wor-
ship. A melange of slavery and
fraternity seemed to prove puzzling
to the Americans we observed
watching the Nazi pictures.
British political propaganda in
their picture emphasizes the DEM
otratic spirit of respect for the in
dividual. Everybody says Sir" TO
everybody else. Everybody observes
carefully the little rights and feel
ings of those around him.
AS picture to pay money to see,
Target for Tonight" is the most
absorbing record of the war we have
seen thus far. 1t deals with only
single episode and there is time to
learn and like the characters of
the men we follow on grisly ad-
venture. Unlike the newspaper
stories. the newsreel shots and all
the other propaganda pictures made,
it brings the war down to a size
where it can fit into a human imag-
ination and stir it rather than
crush it.

some literary 1aVOr, Dut mostly
with the impact of truth-a single
bombing raid on a German oil in
stallation in the Black Forest. In
both the Nazi and British pictures,
the actors were not actors at all,
but actual fighting men with a
habit Of forgetting the camera when
the bullets began.
Taken together, the three pictures
provide instruction in the warning
techniques of British and Nazi prop
aganda. Which technique is better,
only history can prove. The fact is.
however, they are different. British
propaganda in Target for Tonight"
is aimed at the more intelligent and
more civilized mind. 1t appeals to
more refined instincts. The Nazis
in their two pictures operate on a
vastly lower level, aiming at feat,
greed and the lust for cruelty in
war.
The NaziS used their propaganda
pictures in Norway, Denmark and
Sweden in 1910 and down through
the Balkans and Turkey in l941
to frighten neutrals into answer
ing the telephone when Hitler rang
up. AS we remember them, they
were a Joseph Goebbels produc-
ton of the 1914-1918 "Schrechlich-
keit" Flesh-crushing ferocity ran
steadily through both Nazi pictures.
This was coupled with the kind of
corpse -gouging that included prim-
tive and really low-grade mockery
of such beaten foes as the Poles,
the Dutch, Belgium and French
and the British at Dunkirk. The
general effect was more nervous
than unnerving. Mr.. Goebbels
seemed too anxious to impress to
be impressive
In Target for Tonight" the Brit
ish have much the same propaganda
objectives as Goebbels had. They,
too, are anxious to be impressive,
but no anxiety shows through the
celluloid. Instead the general effect
Is of calm relentlessness and quiet
force.
Both sides in this battle of cam
eras were not unwilling to stir up
affection for their fighters among
the audiences. The Nazis sought
to do this with shots of soldiers
eating enormous sandwiches-the
kind of sandwiches that cause the
women who make them to regard
the men and boys who eat them
with motherly fondness-with shots
of soldiers wolfng canned goods ar
IDENTIFY behind their guns while shells
fell around them. with shots of SOL
diers washing their feet, shaving,
combing their hair, indulging in
heavy handed jollity and writing
and reading letters, with, in fact, a
portrait of their legions as home
bodies.
The British go after the same OBJ
jective in quite another way. Their
men are boys-good boys, very good
boys. Their officers are fathers to
them in the British mode of under
stating affection. The whole effect

Pay Roll Tax
Continued From First Page.)

against an experience rating plan
for three reasons: First, the expert
ence rating system never reduces the
surplus because it is replacement
plan. second, the lowest tax rate any
employer would ever get would be
Is per cent and some employers
would pay as much as per cent
and third. experience rating would
be expensive to administer in the
District.
The plan provided in Mr.. Nc
Gehee's bill would give the District
8 definite tie-up between claims, the
rate of tax and the size Of the sur
plus, Mr.. Marshall told the COM
mittee.
Describing the present tax rate
as a form of "legalized larceny" Mr..
Lusk told the subcommittee the Dis
trict now has sufficient funds in its
unemployment compensation reserve
account to pay the benefits for the
next II years without collecting any
more taxes.
Reduction Called Trif1ing.
1.-THE taking of s15,000000 or 500
600, 900 more than needed during the
last six years in the guise of needed
pay roll taxes from Washington en-
ployers for unemployed who do not
exist has been crime he said.
Under any circumstances the COL
lection of more tax than required to
do the job is simply legalized lar
ceny"
Mr.. Lusk said the reduction put
Into effect last year, welcome
though it was, meant trif1ing sum
to the thousands of small employ
ers of the District" Even with the
tax reduced from 3 per cent to 81
per cent only "a per cent of the
money collected is being paid out in
benefits. he said.
Despite the present huge reserve
employers continue to be taxed
three dollars for each one actually
needed to pay current benefits, Mr..
Lusk continued.
There are more than 10000 en-
ployers in Washington, mostly small
fellows he said. Reduce this un-
just tax and give them break"
SI,O00,000 Saving Estimated.
In response to a question by Rep
resentatlve Sauthoff, Progressive, of
Wisconsin, Mr.. Lusk said he believed
the fiat rate reduction would be
simpler than effecting a reduction
through experience rating methods.
Mr.. Sauthof asked Mr. Lusk why
the District should be given special
benefits"
The witness replied that other
jurisdictions should be given similar
relief "if their employers are paying
too much money"
After Mr.. Sauthoff had interposed
several times to ask witnesses why
the District should not have an ex-
perience rating plan instead of a
fiat rate reduction, Chairman Nc
Gehee declared he believed the only
way to give District employers some
relief was through the fiat rate re-
duction.
The bill sponsored oy Mr.. Nc
Gehee would save local employers
about 100000 a year.

Plans SeIIout for
Symphony Concerts
Only Season Tickets
To Be Sold for Series of
Wednesday Concerts

Laughing at professional Grape.
hangers, 463 members Of the Wom-
ems Committee of the Nationa
Symphony Orchestra today are at
tempting to sell out Constitution
Hall by the time the Wednesday
concert series begins next week.
Meeting at luncheon at the May
flower Hotel yesterday, the Wom-
ems Committee, greatly expanded
since its organization last spring
heard the Wednesday concerts de-
scribed as its particular RESPONSE
bility.
Under new plan adopted by the
symphony directors, explained j
P. Hayes. orchestra manager, NO
single tickets will be sold to Wednes-
day concerts. Only season tickets
have been printed. and only season
ticketholders will be admitted. The
series begins November S.
1,400 Tickets UnsOld.
OF the nearly 1000 seats in Con-
stitution Hall, about 1,4O0 are still
unsold, according to Mrs. Cloyd
Heck Marvin. chairman of the
Wednesday Concerts Committee. AS
members of the Woman's Committee
are selling the remaining seats, she
said. they should emphasize that
admittance to Wednesday concerts
will not be vailable after the begin
ming of the series next week.
Selling only season tickets has
been adopted in many cities during
the last 10 years, Mr. Hayes said,
adding that the plan eliminates two
major problems of symphony man.
agement. complimentary tickets and
the casual concert goer whose pa
tronage is uncertain.
Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe, chair
man of the Woman's Committee
told the group the relation between
music and defense has been clearly
brought out by huge attendance at
concerts under the war conditions
of England. If emergency does
arise here. she said. maintenance OF
the symphony orchestra will be-
come more important.
Urged to Spread Word.
Describing the orchestra's Sunday
night, Wednesday and children's
concerts to their friends can be an
easy service to the symphony by
busy people, Mrs. Howe suggested.
The members were urged to take
orchestra literature to teas,
luncheons and other meetings be-
tween now and the season ticket
deadline next week.
A season ticket, it was pointed
out, saves in convenience of buying
singly for each concert and is more
moderately priced for these con-
certs as well as carrying the saving
of any season ticket.
Mrs Corcoran Thorn, vice chair
man of the BoX-selling Committee,
representing Mrs James Clement
Dunn. chairman, was commended
by Mrs. Marvin for the work of
her committee. Mrs. Daniel Leroy
Borden. vice chairman of the
Symphony Headquarters Committee
headed by Mrs. Harold Marsh, also
was introduced. Mrs. Howe intro
duced Miss Harriet D. Johnson,
who will start a series of lectures on
