NO STRIPPED
GEARS HERE
TuIare TinleS)

How fast can a nation geared for
peace get itself on basis of top defense
production? The question is eVerybOdyS
problem. for defense IS eVerybody'S re-
SponSibility.
\ survey of the whirling cogS of one
industry is perhaps as good an index as
any to how American production as a
whole stacks up in the defense race.
Giant transport planes, flying fortress
eS. pursuit and combat craft are needed
by the thousands, army air chiefs de-
clare. for defense purposes here and
abroad. Magnesium. that light tough
metal used to fabricate such aircraft, Is
needed by the ton. So huge, new indus
trial project is born overnight to fill
that need 1t strikes roots in the form
Of an eight million dollar plant near Los
Altos. California.
The first unit of the operation must
produce more than 800 tons of the pre-
cious metal every month, which is en-
ough for nearly a hundred big bombing
planes. Four other units will match
that production. For the work to be
done 100000 horsepower of electricity
will be required, and California has
quietly assured Uncle Sam she can sup
ply that. too. with no shortages or bot
tleneckS. for the facilities of her power
industry have been kept we'll ahead OF
actual needs.
National defense projects in Cali
fornia already have demanded power
increases enough to serve an entire city
the size Of Stockton or San BernardinO,'
says survey of the industry, land the
demand is mounting steadily. But Cali
fornia still has and can maintain cheap
and abundant power to spare for any
defense requirements.
If that is the answer hard-headed,
courageous and confident-of industry
throughout America; if producers can
pull their tremendously augmented load
without stripping gears or missing
turn in the defense drive, they will have
earned the blessing of a grateful nation.

INVASION OF IRAN

(Riverside Press)
The British and Russian initiative in
the invasion Of Iran satisfies Americans,
if we are to believe the comments heard
on all sides. Even the Roosevelt admin
istration has given full approval to the
move into the ancient kingdom of Persia
modarnly known as Iran by the Stain
and Churchill governments.
It is explained by statement issued
from the headquarters of General Sir
Archibald Wavell, that by this move the
Germans are prevented from using Iran
as a base Of attacks directed from the
Middle East. That makes as good excuse
as any, we suppose, but it serves as but
another illustration of the fact that the
weak nations find no shield in neutral
ity these days.
As matter Of fact there is no reason
why the Washington administration
should not favor such a course as car
ried out by the British and Russians.
The United States moved in on Iceland,
by invitation Of course, and is now threat
ening to move in on Martinique and Oak
ar without invitation. Just another il
lustration of the universal principle now
recognized and practiced in Europe and
Asia-the survival of the fittest.
Everybody, it seems, is satisfied eX-
cept Germany, the Iranians have set up
d new cabinet and will play ball with
their conQuerors. Germany is denounc-
ing the British-Russian military coup as
IAN unprovoked and unjustified assault
on small and helpless nation" That

nOIlywoods Fads, Fancies and FoibIes

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. l - Bill
Powell Myrna 10y, w. S. Van
Dyke and Asia are making another
Thin Man" picture. The two
stars the director and the dog are
the only ones who have worked on
all four. The Thin Man himself
has been dead since 1884. Played
by Edward Ellis, he was an inven-
tor who was murdered after ap-
pearing in only a few scenes of
the first film.
Nobody suspected, of course, that
initial whodunit comedy, whipped
up in IA days. would make a million
dollars. start a cycle of daffy do
meStic flickers and establish Miss
10y and Mr.. Powell as the stars of
series. So when things turned
out that way, it was too late 10
revive the original Thin Man, but
the name was so valuable that il
has been worked into the subse-
quent titles. Current effort is The
Shadows of the Thin Man"
Sitting in his dressing room and
froWning over a script, Powell said
the job is getting tougher all the
time Dashiell Hammett isn't around
any more to write the original
stories, nor are Albert Hackett and
Frances Goodrich. who did the first
two screenplays. New writer's have
a hard time staying within the es-
tablished pattern. Powell explained
PLOT THICKENED
Result is that the two stars and
Director Van Dyke do a lot of re-
writing as they go along. They're
in frequent huddles over situations
and dialog, and in thinking up
new gags for the dog and the kid.
The youngster, by the way, is an
anachroniSm. In the third Thin
Man picture, the Charles son was
8 years old, but in this one he's

know yet, but in their Worl, they
will have specialized sections Of
historians, geographers, economists
and miscellaneous professors re-
crulted from the ablest scholars
in the country Their exporting
will be supplemented by staff and
field officers from various govern
ment departments whose ineorma-
lion they will coordinate. Backing
all up will be a Library of Congress
research staff under Prof. william
Leonard LANCER of Harvard.
Langer was a sergeant in the
First Gas Regiment of the A. E. f.,
and saw action in the Argonnc
and at St. Mihiel
Granting that the now-taned
Colonel Donovan's Fightin SO Pro-
fessors, or how many OF them there
may be can coordinate all this
information, it is not the idea to
boil it down to a daily bulletin
and then drop it on the Presidents
desk. While the Donovan office
will have no authority over the
departments whose information it
c3-Ordinates, it will be a Donovan
function to "hunch' the various
departments on courses of strategic
action they might follow, and fol-
low fast. For instance. if tae for
eign broadcast monitoring service
picks up advance information Of
d new japanese move to the south,
as it did q month before the in
yasion Of Indo-China. that is
something the State and Navy do
partments want to know about.
When Colonel Donovan returned
to the United States from his in
spection trip to the Near East, It
was reported in Washington that
he wanted to be called to active
duty and given JOB of training
soldiers and fifth cclumnists in
guerilla warfare This ambition
stemmed from a belief that the
only way to overcome rapidly NOV
ing. mechanized units Was re-
turn to tactics of frontier warfare
TIC Colonel has long been known
to have o high dislike for desk
eeneralship Though he has kept
his reserve commission. and has
made field studies o. the warfare
