Week In Review
HTLER'S PLAN IN EUROPE
Bv MILLION SROWN. JI.A.

5TTLER'S PLAN IN EUROPE
over a period of months one
ads a confusing welter of reports
ON Europe, sees scraps of in
brmatiOn, incomplete, censored
cries. Then suddenly the jig-saw
1zzIe pieces begin to take shape
ID q pattern energies. Here, for
stance, are some of the reports
the past week:
~ Several hundred Jews from
he Reich and Austria were ship
ed to Lisbon on a sealed train
emigrate overseas.
(2) The weekly review of Nu
Stockholm reported secret Ger
lan-SOviet negotiations for a
ew frontier revision under which
he major part of the Polish Gov
rnment- General would be coded
Russia in return for a tract of
brmer Lithuania territory.
81 The German Government
las renewed expulsion of Jews to
he Polish Government General,
nd Germans have been withdrawn
rom that area.
az DR.. Joseph TerbOven, Reich
commissioner for Norway and ex-
ert in repression, Is being shift
d to Holland, where the NaZiS
laim anti-NaZi disturbances Oc-
nrred in the Jewish section of
amsterdam. The Jewish quarter
being isolated.
(5) Official reports reaching
Washington state that the Nazis
ave intensified expulsion of Jews
rom the Reich and Austria and
hat, except for some thousands
sed as slave labor or held in con-
entration camps, there will be
one left within four to six weeks.
(6) A Stockholm newspaper re-
Orted from Berlin that thousands
+ Jews were recently transported
rom Vienna to Poland and their
rOperty was cOnfiscated.
/ (O Following the recent Iron
Guard pogroms in Rumania, dur
ng which 1000 Jews were saw
sgely murdered while German
roops nominally in Rumania to
reserve order stood by, the Gov
rnment has renewed its campaign
{ ousting Jews from economic
LIE.
These are a sample of the type
4 news report that comes across
ne wires weekly. And here is the
Pattem that energies:
Hitler is seeking to consolidate
German domination over all Eu-
|ope west of the Soviet frontier.
Is part of this plan, he is seek
ng to drive Slavs and Jews out
p mis-" domain, either by fore
ng them to emigrate or by push
ng them eastward into the Soviet
Union, which he has always con-
|idered a part of Asia.
This accounts for the reports
# the contemplated SOviet-Ger-
nan border revision. By giving
o Russia the major part of the
Polish Government General into
which he has already pushed the
Poles and Jews of the NaZi-an-
lexed section of Poland, as well
IS thousands of Jews from other
Reich territories, and from which
he has withdrawn the German
population, he would, in one sweep,
ret rid of millions of Germans.

girls think the picture is absolu- tely based on fact" he observed, land when you argue with your teacher, you find that the picture was not all correct"
 The Young Reviewers world hness extends far beyond their personal problems. In criticizing the drunken scene in Meet John Doe" one youngster wondered how the inebriate could make god sense while in his cups.
 IT," pronounced an eager H. year-old, have seen drunken person make more sense than when he was sober.'
 "Yes," corroborated Q worldly colleague of the same age, when people get intoxicated, their in- hibited thoughts come more clearly to their seni-conscious
 The unusual, in plot or tech- nique, always diNv's the highest praise from the young critics. Daniel Feeley, Il, thought that "Knute Rockne," was keen, "be- cause it's not a lot of baloney. Rockne doesn't go in there and win every time. He even got tack led"
 Many's the picture to will under blisering scorn because tits the same old baloney. The hero wins in the end"
 NO FEAR OF
 EMOTIONS
 The Young Reviewers are not afraid of e:otion as such, even If, as Irving Dolinsky, IA, shrewdly ob- served: Many adults think it's sissy to show your emotions" Emotion is okay, but love is something else again. Love has @ nasty way Of im- peding action - even in Spring. It invariably comes in for @ merciless verbal pummeling.
 Robert Burgess, II, summed up Arizona" with: "Its one of their regular westerns, but it's on the top No dry love scenes" David Holley, 13, disagreed: Tt wasn't really western. It was about love between the hero and the heroine"
 Tt was different" argued Bob, because the man does not hold her in his arms and say oh, darl- ing It was not dry. He kissed her and jumped on his horse and rode away"
 T think" chimed in 12-year-old Smylla Brind, "there shouldn't be SO much love-"
 There was only one dissenting critic. He was 12-year-old Ken- meth Eisler without love-" an- nounced the young sophisticate, it wouldn't be anything"

TWO INJURED IN
 AUTO-BUS CRASH
Condition of Victims Re. ported. Fairly Good at
 Waterbury Hospital

The Waterbury hospital reported today that the conditions of George Buell., 20, of Hungerford avenue, and Elaine Fenn, i5. of Main street, both of Oakville, were fairly good" The two were injured in an accident on the Waterbury -Middlebury road shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the car in which they were in, collided with a 0. R. 6 L. Go. bus near the Tranquility station. The couple sustained mul- tiple abrasdons, bruises and lacera- tons of the face and body.
 According to State Trooper Angelo Buffa of the Beacon Falls barracks and ConstableS Walter Folgman and Gordon Knowlton, who investigated the accident, Buell. was driving the car when 1t rammed into the rear of the bus which had stopped to permit Q passenger to alight.
 Considerable damage was done to both cars, Buell's machine was dam aged in the front while the rear of the bus was damaged. No arrest has been made pending the cofll- pletion of an investigation by State Trooper Buffa

The Young Reviewers is an ad- junct of t he National Board of Review. Its 600 youngsters, selec- ted from the brightest 8-14 year. olds at 100 New York City schools, preview the years top movies. Their criticisms guide parents and children the nation over In movie tastes.
 A group of less reticent, spade calling critics would be hard to find. They have few illusions about their work. As 12-year-old Joan Heller bluntly observed after a recent preview of Meet John Doe": "The movies are not always exactly real. They want a good buildup and a good writeup."
 To get a good buildup from the Young Reviewers demands the highest standards in story, acting, and direction. The Young Review CTS are demons on boners. Thir- teen-year-old Alvin Golden, for example, could hardly wait until Q recent preview was over to ask: "How come the dog was shot on the left side jumping over the fence, and when he was on the ground 1t was his right side that was wounded?"
 Sometimes this demand for ac- curacy has other than purely al- truistic motives. Richard Ticktin, il, thought that 1t would be nice if biographic pictures said at the start which parts were fact and which fiction. Many boys and

BY CARL W. QREPPERD

Somewhere at the bottom OF the
Conestoga River, near Lancaster,
Pa, lies the skeleton of this coun-
try's first steamboat. This boat was
built by William Henry, long before
the Revolutionary War 1t was pro-
PEELED by steam wheel" conceived
by the inventor and, which, it is
assumed, resembied the paddle
wheels later used by John Fitch and
Robert Fulton.
Fitch, Sutler, or purveyor of
knick-knacks and beer to Washing
tons Army. sat at the feet of Henry
and learned about steamboats,. Full
ton. as young lad, listened wide
eyed to Henry's prophecies. Both
Fitch and Fulton made steamboats,.
Fulton made one that was COM
mercial success. From then on the
idea was going concern.
Pictures and plans of steam
boats" jumped from the narrow con-
fines of philosophic interest to the
full breadth of popular interest after
Fulton's experiment was proved

tial moneymaker. The French ar
tist, Charles B. F. Saint Memin,
made q drawing of Fulton's Cler-
mont as it sailed up the Hudson
under its own power. This drawing
was issued, in France. as litho-
graph. 1t is the first American"
print of a steamboat and is, Of
course, quite rare.
The steamboat did not at once
take to the sea. Rather it was ap-
piled to river navigation. Shallow
draft boats with paddles could travel
on feet of water and on narrow
streams. Freedom from depend
ence on wind or tide, or on man
power at the poles or oars, made
many inland" or river towns small
seaports. Canal building, to feed
/ these ports with goods, transported
by barge, was given tremendous
boost.
| Meanwhile, the Clipper was de-
veloped for overseas traffic, The
speed of these sailing craft was such
