A Wisp of a Role

Humphrey Bogart has emulated
Walter Huston by doing a tiny role
in "In This Our Life" Warner
Bros picture being directed by John
Huston.
The father of the young direc-
tor portrayed bit part-without
formal screen credit-in the first
picture directed by his son, the i'm
mensely successful THE Maltese
Falcon" In I'm This Our life"
which co-stars Bette Davis, Olivia
de Havilland. George Brent and
Dennis Morgan, the elder Huston
is making similar paternal ges-
ture, playing a barkeep who has
one line to speak
Bogart, who was the star of "The
Maltese Falcon" considers that pic
ture was so beneficial to his career,
that he decided to make a similarly
sentimental gesture. In the younger
Huston's second picture, he will be
seen f1eetingly as a shadow glimpsed
through a glass door.

for industrial coming in that county
was before the Maryland National

ton urging such plan at its June

burg fire house The action fol-
lowed a discussion of the problem
of industrial coming. particularly
along the railroad east of Cheverly.
In its resolution. the Federation
suggested that industrial zones be
laid out carefully so as not to con-
fict with residential sections.
The organization also adopted a
resolution requesting the State
Roads Commission to widen the De-
Tense Highway from the Bladens-
burg Elementary School to the
juncture with the Landover road.
1t was claimed that the strip of
road, because of its narrowness,
causes serious traffic delays.
The federation also voted to ask
the county commissioners to allot
part of the county's 100000 public
improvement bond issue for Ana
costa parkway Improvements.
The group Endorsed Samuel A.
Harvey. dairy owner, for appoint
ment to the University Board of
Regents. Two vacancies now exist

Urged for Army
Hitch-Hikers

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June GA
plan to encourage motorists to give
rides to hitchhiking soldiers was
proposed last night by Chairman
Charles r. Fenwick of the Recrea-
ton Committee of the Northern
Virginia Regional Defense Council.
Mr.. FenWick suggested the estab-'
lishment of registration booths for
soldiers and motorists at key points,
such as at Fourteenth street and
Key bridge and on the Mount Yer
non highway in Alexandria. Sol
diers who wanted rides would con-
gregate at the booths. The plan
originated with Elmer F. Newell,
Arlington County auditor, Mr.. Fen
wick said. During the World War,
Mr.. Newell said, motorists were
generous in giving him rides home
when he was on leave.
The committee was told that local
governing bodies. such as the Ar
lington County Board and the Alex
andria City Council. would be asked
for contributions of materials and
labor for the stands. Civic organ
izations or police would be asked to
volunteer the services Of an at
