Hollywood Sights And Sounds
. By Robbir Coons .

HOLLYWOOD. Cal, April 30.-- There's a notable change in the Nazi-background films being made in this town.
 The new emphasis is on adventure and suspense You'll find both in the two Nazi films now before the cameras, Underground" and Man Hunt" t4r
 Underground" directed by Vim cent Sherman, concerns the work ings of the organized, silent op- position to Hitler within his home grounds. "Man-Hunt" from the novel Rogue Male') is fiction about a man who is surprised, while out hunting" with his rifle leveled on the Berchtesgaden recluse.
 Fritz Lang, who left Germany in 1883 with a suitcase and practically nothing else to show for his suc- cessful years as director and pro- ducer, is in charge of Man Hunt" and the script is by Dudley Nichols some guarantee in itself of tense and artful business.
 Movie-goers early in the anti-Nazi craze exhausted the more obvious social implications of the Nazi creed ''The Mortal Storm" most searchingly, with Four Sons" car rying on the exploration into broken families and friendships. "The Man I Married" contrasted the American point of view. Films like Foreign Correspondent" emphasized adven- ture. Escape" while again project ing the American idea, got much of it's potency from the oldest movie thrill device the chase.
 "Man-Hunt" is chase virtually from start to finish, with romance injected in the person of Joan Bennett. Waited Pidgeon is the hunted Englishman, and George Sanders-a familiar figure to his role-is the Nazi chaA leader.
 Although the Nazi subjects have made a cycle, it hasrbeen an odd one. Few other cycles have embraced such a wide range of treatments from the comedy sorts in Chap lin's Dictator" to the mass tragedy in So Ends Our Night; from the documentary" technique of 'sNazi Spy. to the film biography of Pas. tor Hall";; from the melodrama of Foreign Correspondent" to the so- biological exploration of Mortal Storm"
 Interesting on the Underground" set is the presence of a German born blonde girl of g, Karen Verne (not her real name). She would have no part of the Hitler youth" movement before it became compul- sory, and escaped the whole business by running away with an English man when she was Is.
 But they got my little sister young enough" she says, land she is a Nazi-low- -heeled shoes, plain uniform and all" aa
 Miss Verne is not happy. Her son. four years old. is somewhere in England" She and her husband are separated, though not divorced. Her mother and sister are in Ger many. Unless she makes good in Hollywood, she must return to Eng land where her slight German ac- cent she is sure. would prevent her

Production Not for Profit
Is Foolish Cateh-Phrase@
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

for the most colossal profit
taking systems that the world
has ever known, the greatest
capitalistic trust the world has
ever known: imperialistic. mill
taristic, profit greedy totalita-
rianiSm.
The. root Of all progress and
civilization is the hope OF indi-
vidual profit.
Without the incentive OF
profit. all stagnates.
The democracies are making
a stand for the individual profit
system because nothing has been
found that equals it for promot-
ing production and use.
EVEN IF the state manufac-
IL tured and produced all the
necessaries of life and owned
all the means of transportation
and distribution for use only,
without any profit TO itself, that
state would decay for the same
reason that any other business
would: that is, steady deteri-
Grafton in the quality of the

The war on profit by Com
munists and their imitators is
war against the individual in
favor of titanic and ALIEN
bracing octopus, the bureau
cratic state. of which Russia and
Germany are the supreme types
in modern times.
The instinct for profit is as
profound in the American -

What Kind Of System 2

INVESTIGATION of bookkeeping methods in the liquor
control commission ordered by Auditor Gen Vernon j.
Brown after cashier confessed embezzling SS515 is
warranted and apparently should have been made long

THIS is an age of slogans. A
slogan is something like the
Pied Piper of Hamelin's flute,
which lured the children of
Westphalia TO their destruction.
Many slogans do that, but on
the route TO destruction crowds
get a vast emotional kick in
following the piper with his
shrewd connecting of words that
have more rhythm than sense.
There is no slogan more al
Turing and at the same time
more specious than production
for use and not for profit. y
What is sorely needed in this
country is a campaign of edu-
cation that will take apart, bit
by bit. the mouth-filling phrases
that the Socialists. the Com
munists and the vodka pinks
pour down the threats of the
gullible.
Production for use and not
for profit is one of the most
fetching Of these phrases.
