WAR:
Sudden attack

When war came to the United
States it came with a sudden fury
that startled the entire nation.
First news of Japan's attack on
the great u S. air and naval base at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, came from
the White House in Washington. Lat
er reports told of the attacks on the
Philippines and on the island out
post of Guam.
Though the nation was startled 1t
was suddenly united. From former
'isolationist" leaders and newspa-
pers came pledges of support to the
government in dealing with an un-
provoked attack upon the United
States.
Invoking the Nazi blitzkrieg tao
tic of striking with great surprise,
japanese bombers swooped over the
city of Honolulu, the stronghold at
Pearl Harbor and on the army's
nearby flying base, Hickman field,
even as the japanese ENJOYS in the
United States were talking peace"
to state department officials in
Washington.
Though the immediate attack
came without warning the strong de-
tense forces in Pearl Harbor went
into quick action and heavy anti
aircraft fire shook the Pearl Harbor
sector as the battle got under way.
After news of the attacks had
reached Washington, radio listening
outposts picked up word that Japan
had declared war on the United
States and Great Britain. By this
time President Roosevelt had or
dered U. S. army and naval forces
in the Far East to execute "all
previously prepared" orders. This
order was carried out by u. S.
aviators taking to the air and the
fleet steaming out of Pearl Harbor
to battle the enemy.
President Roosevelt called an i'm
mediate conference with cabinet
members and legislative leaders to
prepare plans for leading the ma
ton through the crisis. AS this con-
ference was being held a report
came in from Lieut.. Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, U. S. army command
er in the Far East, telling of the
several attacks on U. S. bases in the
Philippines.
Planes participating in the bomb
ing of Pearl Harbor were believed
to be operating from an aircraft
carrier somewhere in the region. A
report by way of the Panama Ca
nal Zone told of the sinking of a
japanese aircraft carrier in the Ha-
waiian area.

SUB-ZERO:
Moscow Defends

Once again the weather man, hav-
ing dished out weather much too
warm for Russian comfort, turned
again to aid the Red defense of
Moscow, and Pravda was reporting
the Soviet legions falling on the at
tackers in temperature II below
zero, and showing them back all
along the line.
Described battle lines on the
southern, or Rostov front moved
back beyond the Mus river, some
60 miles west of the "spigot city of
Caucasian OIL" and a score of miles
west of Taganrog.
Russian reports described attacks
upon fleeing Germans from the wa
tiers of the Sea of Azov, the fleets
guns hammering the Nazis and pre-
venting them from reforming their
lines along the coastal road.
The Reds also claimed having
crossed the Mus, and trapping Ger
man forces attempting to make it
back to Mariupol, currently General
Won Kleist's headquarters.
From the Moscow front came dis
patches claiming big Red victory
in the Mozhaisk-V olokolamsk sector,
directly west of the city, hating and
hurting back a German drive which
Berlin claimed had brought them
within Is miles of the city.
Rome reports said that ga mil
lion and half men and 5000 tanks
were driving on Moscow but the
Russians said the pressure was less,
and that with the weather more IA
vorable (the Reds seemed to pick
up speed under sub-zero tempera-
tures), the defense of the capital
seemed more hopeful.
AS to the Mus river crossing in
the south, the Russians said they
had executed a maneuver which
trapped many Nazi regiments.

Tracy, Rooney Team Anew
In Boys Town Sequel
Second Chapter of Picture Lacks
Originality of Plot; However

BY JAY CARMODY.

typical reformatory and an institu-
ton like Boys Town. They show
pathetic, helpless youngsters being
nodded into bitter, hopeless crimi-
nails by british guards and craven
reformatory officials. They are
pretty far from the mood of the
original screen drama and are like
ly to be disappointing to those who
hold that story warmly in heart.
Even here, however, Tracy takes
over isolated passages to make one
forget the story has wandered far
af1eld. In one. when he takes off
his Roman collar to call the bluff
of a reformatory warden who did
not think he would, Tracy moves
the audience to spontaneous burst
of applause. He deserves it even
more on other occasions, especially
the one in which he says farewell
to Whitley Marsh (Rooney) and says
it so quietly that Mickey Is con-
trained to do likewise.
**4
The general outline of the story,
for those who did not see Boys
Town" covers the life of a man
undertaking the rehabilitation of
boys in an institution that is human
and kindly, and beset by all kinds
of vicissitudes. not the least of which
is the founders idealism. He is
great man doing great work with
which he is too busy to realize there
is practical side to even such prof.
ects as his, side represented in
mortgages, etc. His failure to
realize it comes closer to wrecking
the place than any other influence
operating against it. 1t doesn't. but
through what forces, we wouldn't
tell even if you couldn't guess.
In addition to using most of the
original cast, the current picture
employs several newcomers. Most
engaging of the lot is Lee J. Cobb,
recent Broadwayite who is one of
the few persons who can take
scene with Tracy calmly enough to
make it look as if two were play
ing it.

From far down the row of lock-

over to take the nickels and dimes
from a cardboard box which he
seemed to feel should be kept at a
discreet distance from his singing
location.
NV Midwestern friend was fas-
cinated, as usual. He forgot about
his bus.
He barely had taken in the sit
uation when interest was added by
the appearance of well-groomed
and richly dressed woman of about
IS. She stopped, looked and lis
tened. She tilted her head, she
rolled her eyes. Finally she dug
into her purse and came up with a
pencil and a card. She approached
the boy and spoke few words in
low tones. She made some notes,
nodded stif1y and marched away.
"This looks interesting" thought
my friend. And he stepped in.
What did the lady want?" he
asked in his most enthusiastic tone.
She got my name" the boy said
without any show of emotion.

"Oh, she said something about

"She offer to pay for 'em?"

No picture with Tracy-and, all
right then, Rooney-could be total
loss. The formers attachment for
the Father Flanagan role, together
with his talent for mining, gives
many a rich moment to Men of
Boys Town" 1t is marvellous, noth-
ing else, to note the inspiration his
low keyed playing has upon the
usually explosive Mickey. To see
him subdued, and always under con-
troll, is virtually spectacle that is
to be highly recommended to those
who have avoided Mickey heretofore
on the ground that he is too strenu-
Gus. He is being given an acting
lesson by his own favorite movie star
and he always knows it.

The peak of McGuinness inspifa-
ton in writing Men of Boys Town"
was achieved in the creation of one
of the subordinate characters-not
too subordinate, however. He is

brushing up on his technique. The
trouble with the character is that
it Is hard to take him seriously, even
though he almost wrecks all the
good Father Flanagan is accomplish
ing in Men of Boys Town"
In addition to getting every one
in the picture into trouble, the kid
goes a sad step farther and gets
the picture itself into a different
key by introducing number of
sequences ugly and brutal enough
that one starts looking around for
John Garfield. These areas of the
story point the contrast between a

Tells Of
Conditions in
For-Awoy Jopon

(NOTE-The following article,
reprinted from the Boomers Ferry
Herald, reports an interview with
a Japanese upon his return to Bon
sners Ferry from visit to Japan
Because of the present critical con-
dition OF United States and Japan
ese relations, the article is of time
ly interest.)
MIR. and Mrs. George Minata re-
turned Tuesday from a visit with
relatives in Japan. Leaving here
July Is. they had expected to re-
turn sooner, but were compelled to
await the sailing OF passenger
boat. Shortly after their trip to
Japan, all passenger steamers be-
tween that country and the United
States were forbidden to sail
Mr.. and Mrs. Minata visited at
Hiroshima, where Mrs. Manata's
parents reside. Mr.. Minata visited
a sister and brother and other rela-
tives. His parents are deceased.
I'VE wanted to return to Boomers
Ferry sooner" said MIR. Minata. I'VE
found conditions in Japan much diff
ferent than we remembered them,
and most of our friends are gone.
We are happy to be back in Bon
ners Ferry"
This was Mr.. Minata's first visit
to his native land in nearly 40 years.
Mrs. Minata had not been in Japan
for q years. They report the jap
anese people bowling under a heavy
tax burden and forced to observe
many wartime regulations, includ-
ing prohibition against listening to
foreign broadcasts. Observance OF
this rule is further assured by linn
it on the size Of a radio none over
six tubes in capacity being per-
mitted.
On special occasions, such as a

speech by President Roosevelt or
other parsonage Of world promi-
nence, the regulations against for
eign broadcasts is removed tempo
rarily.
Mr. Minata says the Japanese peo-
pie do not want war with the Unit
ed States, with Russia, or with any
other nation. They want to- live in
peace, but must obey the govern
ing class. The China incident, says
Mr.. Minata, is regarded as a sort
of civil war which should be Of no
concern to other peoples.
Certain kinds of food is scarce
in Japan, says Mr.. Minata, and the
government has imposed laws
against hording. The people must
also be careful what they say.
ut was hard to learn Just what
the people think" says Mr.. Minata.
Everybody seems afraid to talk
much"
Speaking Of taxes in Japan, Mr..
Minata said: Taxes in the United
States are nothing compared to
Japan"
Asked about recreation among
Japanese people Mr.. Minata says
baseball is the greatest outdoor
sport. Japan, he added, has its ma
jor and minor leagues, much the
same as those in this country. Foot
ball, although played some, is by no
means as popular as baseball. Night
ball is played in many cities, he
said.
Japan suffered some crop loss
from heavy fail rains, said Mr.. Mi
nata. The rains were the heaviest
in recent years.
