 As Crosby explained 1t, the foundation is clearing house for ideas and an agency for putting the good ideas into the hands of the right people. Let's say you have a scheme for a new kind of aerial bomb, but lack the resources, facil- ities or maybe the full technical ability to develop 1t. So you take the plan to the Crosby Foundation where the board of experts decides whether ti Is feasible and of real value, If 1t is, the group is prepared to do whatever Is necessary to get It into workable form, to bring it to the attention of army and navy officials and to arrange for man. .ufacture
 There have been some cases ir which development work has been financed. The fount "a ion has ( laboratory of sorts, but 1t also gets a good deal of unofficial ait from the California Institute 0! Technology which has facilities for making everything from . wris watch radio to a 200-inch telescope

STATE

In response to hundreds and hun dreds of telephone calls and letters, the technicolor hit virginia" has been held over at the Warner Bros. State theater where 1t will continue showing daily through performances Tuesday evening.
 Since its opening last Wednesday thousands of Waterburians have seen the picture and are praising 1t to the skies. During its three-day hold-over engagement other thou sands will view the superb produc- ton and many theatergoers have signified their intention of seeing 1t twice and even three times. Put Virginia" at the top of your must" list and be sure to see 1t at the State over the weekend. Regular State prices will prevail as usual.
 Co-starring Madeleine Carroll and Fred MacMurray the picture tells an original story of modern Virginia. It tells of a woman who chooses life of reality on her plantation, with its genuinensS and homespun realities and unsellsh considera- ton for other peoples needs, rather than the life of meaningless gaiety she would lead married to @ rich, handsome northerner. The film is alive with powerful drama, and yet, in proper places, 1t is touched with bright comedy.
 Miss Carroll as Charlotte Dun- terry, the Virginia-born girl who has lived most of her life in the north: and MaoMurray as Stone wall Elliott, who awakens in her the slumbering love for the south, are both splendid in their roles. As Norman Williams, the rich, gay northerner, Stirling Hayden, tall and handsome screen newcomer, who forms the third point in the romantic triangle, turns in an ex- tremely impressive performance.
 Usually fine performances are also given by the rest of the brilliant cast, Helen Broderick, adorable Carolyn Lee. Marie Wilson, Tom Rutherford, Paul Hurst and Louise Beavers.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents spine tingling drama titled Shadows on the Stairs" with Bruce Lester, Heather Angel and Frieda Inescort.
 The picturization of Fannie Hurst's sensational novel Back Street" is scheduled for showing at the State starting Wednesday. Back Street" co-stars Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullavan with large cast of favorites. On the same pro- gram will be "Blondie Goes Latin"

Bay", which opened four day en' gagement today at the Loew Pot Theater. Depicting the turbulent drama in the founding of an ex- pansive colonial and commercial Empire, the dramatic and moving film stars Muni as reckless ad- venturer-a role unlike any he's ever had.
 When Lord Crewe, played by John Sutton, is exiled to Canada for his drunken pranks, he falls in with Muni and a fellow fur trapper. played by huge Laird Cregar. Driven by a dream so big few men of his time could grasp 1t, Muni takes the two men with him into the frozen north where teh foundation is laid for a great trading company.
 Indian warfare, the drama of mer battling te clements, all are depicted in scenes full of compelling realism In teh end final victory Is won Wher Radisson saves half a continent fol the ruler who had ordered him hanged.
 Running through the story is | tender romance between Sutton, thL exile who makes good in Canada and lovely Gene Tierney. Others seen in the featured cast include Virginia Field, Vincent Price and Nigel Bruce.
 Spectacularly produced and ex- pertly directed by Irving Pichel "Hudsons Bay" is fine, adventurous entertainment.
 o nthe same program Is another smash hit, "Ride, Kelly, Ride" with Eugene Palette and Rita Quigley.

 Although I'm not able to de- scribe any specific devices for warfare, l can mention another phase of preparedness which the foundation has done in this area and that's the co ordination of 25 machine shops which individu- ally weren't big enough to go after government orders.
 Only the other day there was hullabaloo in the east about break ing down some of the big orders in. to piecework jobs for small shops which have machines and mechan- ics available part time. The Crosby outfit has been doing that quite awhile, providing co-ogdinators and specifications engineers and inspec- tors to keep track of everything on production line leading through machine shops which are miles apart. The enterprise now Is organ ized into Tech Aircraft.
