Ship Construction Called
Miracle in Talk at
Engineers Banquet

Progress in construction of Army
posts. munitions factories and naval
vessels was reported to the Wash
ington Society of Engineers at its
annual banquet last night at the
Mayflower Hotel by Brig. Gen.
Brehon B. Somervell and Admiral
Alexander H. Van Keuren.
Admiral Van Keuren characterized
as a miracle" the speed Of ship
construction under the defense
emergency. The construction pro-
gram, he told the society, was far
ahead of schedule.
Gen. Somervell, who was ap-
pointed assistant chief of staff in
charge of the Supply Division Of
the War Department general staff
yesterday, describing construction"
as the "rock-bottom base of the pre-
paredness pyramid" declared the
Army's temporary emergency con-
struction program was the greatest
building campaign ever undertaken
In this Nation
First Goal Attained.
Declaring many of the needs had
been met substantially in advance
of schedule" Gen. Somervell said:
by providing prompt and superior
shelter and training quarters for
100000 troops and in erecting from
the ground up, munitions factories
that are already in production, the
construction division may be said
to have attained the first military
objective of the Army's national
defense building program"

tion.' ne said, I'VE may run short

BERKELEY SPRINGS, w. Va,
Nov. 27.-State Trooper C. F. Klug
said today he is checking a possible
connection of a human skull found
last summer in Youngstown, Ohio,
with headless skelton found in the
rural section of Morgan County here
the past week end.
According to reports from Youngs-
town at the time. skull was found
in a tomato carton from the P. c.

The headless skeleton was found
in a wild and wooded section OF the
county Saturday by hunter. Efforts
to find the head and any clues as to
identity have been unavailing thus
far.
Trooper Klug estimates that the
body Of the man, apparently about
6 feet tall, had been lying in the

This player and his partner
we're using strong no trumps-
so you can imagine how his
partner felt, with his big hand,
and barred from the bidding.
But one no trump was the con-
tract, and believe it or not, the
declarer got the only opening
lead that would allow him to
make six no trump.
Not realizing that any other
opening would have made six
no trump impossible, he natural
ly thought he had bad score.
When the scores came out, he
found he had top score on the
board, because every OF n er
player his way of the table had
got into a slam contract "a few
in fact had bid seven) and not
one had made it. They were
the only North South pair with
a plus score on the board.
Normally, West opened the
fourth-best of his only four-card
suit, hearts. Declarer could win
only IL tricks, having to lose to
the queen of spades and the ace
of hearts.
But when South dropped the
king of hearts, this particular
Woet ,layor did mt like IN lead
up to it. Furthermore, as North
had been barred from the auc-
ton, he had no idea whether the
North-South cards held . game
or not.
He decided on trying to find a

a small card away from his only
other top card, the queen of
spades. This lead handed de-

The mild-mannered but in

his own studio, Metro, had
bought the novel. 1t was given
to him to produce and direct, and
he also wrote the screenplay. He
acts, too, though not for the

Vidor uses the camera as If 1t
were the eyes of an interested
person moving among a group of
interesting people. Sometimes
it may draw back to regard
them all, and then edge up close
to catch a low-voiced confidence.
Or 1t may stare frankly at q

are continuous, without the
usual jerky changes from small
figures to huge heads.
STILL ACCENTED
With a gal like Hedy, Vidor
admitted that there was always
temptation to have her strike
glamour poses. Instead, he kept
her moving. Giving her plenty
of incidental action helped her
to talk faster. She usually
drawls. Her accent is less notice

doubts that audiences will mind,
but in partial justification of ii

In tournament bridge the ele-
ment Of luck is eliminated so
far as the cards are concerned,
because everyone plays the same
hands, but as in every other
sport, there is always the luck of
the play. You may, for instance,
get a difficult hand against weak
opponents who do not defend
it well. Or you may be just
downright lucky.
Here is a case that happened
at the summer session of the ma
tional tournament at Asbury
Park. Immediately after bid
ding one no trump, player
dropped the king of hearts. The
rules state that If you expose
an honor card, your partner
is barred from the bidding on
that hand.

Nearly always it is true that peo-
ole are cruel because they ore ofroid.
The strong, secure person, confident in
his situation and obility to deol with It,
is seldom cruel. It is the person within
whom turks hidden weakness and q
ponicky feor who stoops to sewage
deeds Of cruelty. He may not odmit his
feors; he probably thinks he is being
strong and stern; but behind that mask
q devil of fright is eibbering and
squeoking.
Close to 300 people have been shot
to death by the Nozis or their hench-
men in countries occupied by their
troops. In most cases the charges
oooinst them of conspiracy or violent
octs are sheer window-dressine. In
many of them, the people led out
oeoinst wall we're admittedly inno-
cent. No charge had been placed
oooinst them; no trial granted. They
we're picked by lot to die for the violent
resistance Of others to the German con-
querors.
This is q cruel, an inhumon thing
to do. To Justify it by saying that Sold
ers doing their duty had been shot in
the back is simply to invite the counter
question, WHO said it was their duty
to be Iording it over other peoples
homes and cities?"
The truth is thot the German troops
of occupation are jittery, as we'll they
may be. The Iong-feored outbreaks Of
steolthy violence against them have
come at last. Any commander charged
with responsibility for those troops
safety must necessarily toke the horsh-
est measures to protect them. Those
measures must be. and are, proportion
ed to the fear Of what might be the
situation Of those troops if the attacks
on them should spreod ond increase.
It is no good to moroIize on the
heortIess inhumonity Of shooting ran
dom helpless hostages. 1t is cruel and
inhunnon as all war is cruel and inhu-
man; it results from war, and it results
specifically from the kind Of war which
presumed that q continent could be
conquered and held under the Nozi
heel. On him who made and acted on
thot suPposition is the blood Of these
innocents, odded to the blood Of so
many others.
Again, smotherine noturoI human
indignation, will it work? Probably not.
Every innocent thus shot has friends
and relatives, sons perhaps Every such
shooting is stone dropped into pool,
and from it waves Of hatred will spread
outward in widening, overwhelming
circles. The Nozis know that those
waves may some day eneuIf them.
Hence the inner terror that turks be-
meath the mask of nervousness.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 26-It's
hard to imagine a movie star
ring Hedy Lamar that isn't full
of soft-focus close-ups of Miss
Lamar looking languorous and
batting her eyelashes.
No such picture ever was
made, anyway, until King Vidor
decided he wanted her for the
role of Marvin Myles in III. M.
Pullman, Esq" Everyone thought
of "Haydee" as a big-eyed, Ian
guild beauty with an accent; and
now Vidor proposed to represent
her as a brisk, modern American
business gal in tailored clothes,
with her hair looped up in
bun. He also wanted to age her,
at the finish, to a woman in her
obvious 40's.
Miss Lamar was one of the
skeptics, but she realized it
would be the break of her movie
lifetime if she could get away
with the assignment. There was
one reassuring thing about it:
What Vidor wanted more than
anything else was "a woman
whom a man would remember
for 20 years" All the male
doubters agreed she could fill
that requirement.
LOVE LEAVES
She won the part by playing
a six-minute scene for a test.
Now, eight weeks later, they've
filmed it again for the picture,
and Vidor got it in two tries. It's
the scene in which Pulham and
Marvin Myles, both little gray,
meet and are trying to recapture
something of the understanding
of their earlier love. And they

ERENCHMEN have made tre-

of lesser known scientists whose
works were profoundly impor-
tant.
Claude Bernard (l813-l878),
who was honored philatelically In

Paris at the age Of 81 intending
to follow the drama, but a French
critic urged him 10 study medi-

Bernard made intensive studies
into the function Of the pancreas
gland and the liver. His conclu-
sions proved important in the
field Of digestion and also In the
causes of diabetes.
Another research by Bernard
was the study Of the vaso-motor
system. He also was greatly In

gross tons lost during the Dun
kirk evacuation Of June, 1910.
FIGURES NOT
ENCOURAGING
There ore no occurote or
accepted figures on German
ond ltolion shipping losses
during the war, the British
claims differing sharply with
whot the oxis admits. Those
losses. however, don't fit into
this picture, whatever they are.
ITS the British, allied and
neutrol shipping loss that pre-
sents the problem and the to-
toI losses in two years Of war
ore I,442.OOO gross tons, of
which 1855, 900 gross tons
are British and 2,753,OOO
gross tons ore allied and neu-
trol. In round numbers. thot
represents about 100 ships
sunk.
How close can the United
Stotes come to making up
those losses?
At the present time this
tonnage which has gone to the
bottom Of the ocean is greet
er than the entire u. S. mer-
chant marine in soIt voter.
This v. S. seoforine merchont
marine today is in round num-
bers 300 ships Of 1000, 900
gross tons. Of those ships,
approximately 500 are in for
eien commerce and 700 ore in
coostol trade. But all of
them would not make up for
the British, allied and neu-
troll losses.
Two sources Of supply are
ovoiloble to make up those
losses. First is the seizure Of
German, Italian, Danish and
other tonnage laid up in
North and South American
ports. The U. S. ship requisi-
tion oct made 100000 tons
Of this shipping available. and
il lotin American republics
toke similar cotton, they will
provide 100000 tons more.
But this totoI is equal to less
than 10 per cent of the losses
by sinking.
WILL ROLL m 1912
Big source of supply must
therefore come from the u.
S. shipbuiIdine program now
just beginning to roll, but
which will really get going in
1912. The Maritime Com
mission schedule coils for the
completion Of 80 vessels, a
million tons, in The first quor-
ter Of the coming yeor. For
the second quarter, l46 ships
Of 400, tons. For the
third, l54 ships Of | ,646, 900
tons. For the fourth. 1874
ships Of 1000, 900 tons. The
totoI for the year under this
schedule will be STA ships Of
6,O46, 900 tons.
If the prospective deliveries
for the first quarter Of l943-
22O ships of 2,27O.OOO tons
Gre added to that 1912 totol
then, and only then, will
the ship losses begin to be
equoIized. But unless the SUBJ
