Except for few technical errors, it is a thrilling anti-Nazi document.
 PUBLICITY STUNT
 When the film went into produc- ton, Warmers publicized story about having phoned the Nazi consu- late in Los Angeles to ask for in formation about German uniforms The voice at the consulate purportedly answered: If you tell me what scene it is for, l will consult the script which I have here before me" No body particularly believed the story but everyone felt it was ingenious ano legitimate publicity.

 COMPENSABLE CLAIMS
 A total of 15,111 compensable claims were filed in local offices i'll May, and 18,348 in April. All offices, except three, reported a smaller vol ume of compensable claims for the month. In |. Bridgeport and Middle town, slight increases were noticed, and New Britain reported an increase of 90 per cent. The New Britain in- creases were caused by partial unem- ployment in certain needle trades establishments.
 The decrease in compensable claims was greatest in Ansonia, Hartford, New Haven, New London, Torring- ton, and Willimantic. Benefit pay ments in May aggregated $149,229, in relation to $189,534 in April. Pay ments increased slightly in Middle town and were up nearly 88 per cent in New Britain, with all other offices showing a smaller amount of pay ments. Since January 1, 1941, total of $1,264,158 has been paid in untm- ployment compensation benefits.
 EXPECT DECREASE
 Closings of active claim cases numbered 1858 in May and lO,- 5O6 in April. Increased cIosings were reported by Danbury, Daniel son, and New Britain. Additional increases in industrial employment will probably serve to decrease benefit claims and payments fur ther in June.

NEW CONTRACT

A rousing cheer for the negotiating committee of the Screen Writers Guild which won unanimous union ratification of the general terms of the contract it had concluded with the producers. The Guild gets an 809o to 909o closed shop, minimum of SIPS a week for writers with more than a years experience, and many conces- sions in working conditions. In fact, the contract is far better than the writers had hoped for. In the process, a neat producer-inspired plan to wreck the Guild through the injection of political issues was expertly skirted ..
