 No Attack Inland
 A late afternoon Vichy broadcast says no attack has occurred in the region of Constantine, inland from the Algerian port of Philipeville, but military and civilian preparations are being made against possible and eventual Allied thrust on Tun- isia, moving southwestward on Gran from Arzew.
 The French broadcast says the Americans have reached St. Cloud, about 10 miles from their landing place, also gained Valmy, inland about seven miles south of Gran on the Mediterranean, and at Safi, where the U. s forces are flaming out on the Atlantic Coast. This broadcast said reinforcements are debarking in considerable strength but the defenses of Morocco have not been undermined. The broad cast declared the coastal batteries at Gran are yet intact.

Fredric March and Loretta Young Are Stars of
 Clever Comedy

A lesson for husbands, a shock for wives and a howl for everybody who wants to learn about love from experts, Columbia's Bedtime Story yesterday opened at the Capitol Theatre with Fredrick March and Loretta Young starred.

Jordan" The Doctor Takes a Wife" and This Thing Called Love" the new comedy com pines kicks with kisses, riots with romance.
 A superb supporting cast, includ- ing Robert Benchley, Allyn Jos lyn, Eve Arden, Helen Westley and Joyce Compton, lend brilliant aid to the stars, in roles finely fitted to their various comedy talents.

 Uproariously funny, it's comedy stemming from clever story and suspenseful handling, from scintil- lant wisecracks and situations streamlined for laughter, Bedtime Story" is the seasons .gayest and giddiest must see" film.

grammed the following concert for
this afternoon: Overture, die Meis-

The Nutcracker Suite" Tschai-
kowsky; "Polovetskian Dances
from Prince Igor" Borodin, and
symphony No. l in c Minor
Brahms.
The poll indicated that this sea-
sons concertgoers were not only
willing to listen to unfamiliar works,
but in some cases had taken them
to their hearts. For instance, the
Chausson b Flat Major Symphony"
certainly not an overplayed work
trailed only few votes behind the
Sibelius First" for fifth place in
the symphony division. More sur
prising. however, we're the next
three choices-the Brahms Third
the Prokofieff Classical" and the
Shostakovich Fifth" the latter two
both running only four votes behind
the more familiar Brahms
For the record, Igor Stravinsky' S

polled 13 votes.

buzz, nor do the workers show zeal
In fact the type of man power
represented is unbelievably poor
physically and mentally-which can
not be true. 1t is not to such that
the production of the weapons OF
war are entrusted.
Also a good many pictures In
this collection are of subjects not
germane. Such, for example, as
a section of the waiting room at
Union Station in this city with
weary travellers on benches and
among them one soldier in uniform
or soldiers dance in New York
men in khaki, whirling around
pretty young girls. There are num-
erous pictures-of- place but nothing
doing. Uglifcation is to be seen
on every side in many instances
avoidable and without purpose
Surely this is utterly unrelated to
production or soldering.
During World War I great service
in advancing and maintaining
morale was done by our artists.

Program by

Boston Symphony to
Play for Russian
Relief Tuesday

Serge Koussevitzky will lead the
famous Boston Symphony Orchestra
In program Of three symphonies
all Russian-in the single program
that this orchestra will give in
Washington Tuesday at 8 80 o'clock.
DR.. Koussevitzky has made several
important changes since original
announcement Of his program for
this event, which is for the benefit
Of Russian relief and for which the
orchestra and DR.. Koussevitzky are
giving their services.
Because of the tremendous sue
cess of the first performance Of
Dimitri Shostakovich's Sixth SYM
phony" in Boston Friday a week
ago DR.. Koussevitzky decided to put
1t on the Washington program, re-
placing the already popular Fifth
Symphony" Of the same composer.
The other principal change in
Tuesdays program is the substitu-
ton Of Tschaikowsky's Fifth SYM
phony" for the previously announced
overture fantasia, Romeo and JUL
iet,' by the same composer.
The program will open with the
satiric Classical Symphony" by
Prokof1eff, as originally planned.
The regular concert program
Tuesday will be prefaced by the
playing of THE Star Spangled
Banner" and Russia's "Internation-
ale" with DR.. Koussevitzky conduct
ing both these anthems The sec
ond, the Russian, was orchestrated
especially for this event by the
American composer, Aaron COPELAND,
at DR.. Koussevitzky's request, as he
could find no of11cial arrangement
available. This will be the premiere
of Mr.. Copland's arrangement.

There are also scenes from con-
Temporary Negro life. From Robert
Philipp has come Sunday in
Louisiana; Ruel P. Tolman has
contributed a group Of cleaners with
excellent landscape setting; Nina
Citron, who has a special gift for
impersonation, shows the Magic
Box" and Simkha Simkhovich is
seen at his best in painting OF
"Colored-Church Supper" all Of
which are intelligently as well as
artistically rendered.
Mention should also be made OF
Robert Riggs painting Of the prize
fight between Schmehng and Joseph
Louis at which the latter triumphed.
The moment chosen for exposition is
that when the former was knocked
out and the tension is great. 1t was
George Bellows, who popularlzed
such scenes through his art and
although Riggs is not Bellows he has
so commanded his medium that the
impression produced upon the on
locker is very vital.
It was rather daring to assemble
and setforth such an exhibition as
this but 1t serves an excellent pur-
pose and cannot fail to profit art
and improve racial relations. 1t is
not only interesting but thought
provocative. Opening on March 10,
it will continue until April II.

With an all-request program cho-
sen by its patrons, the National
Symphony Orchestra, under the d.
rection of Hans Kinder. will bring
to close its 11th--and by all odds
most uccessful-season at o'clock
this afternoon in Constitution Hall.
Washington's favorite symphony,
according to the poll which the Or
chestra has been conducting dur
ing the past month, is the Brahms
First in c Minor" and that will be
the major work of today's program.
Voting on the symphony almost
ended in draw between the
Brahms First" the Beethoven V
for Victory Fifth" and the Tschai-
kowsky Fifth" but there was no
question about the winners in the
overtures and miscellaneous classes.
Wagner's Die Meistersinger" over
ture was a decided favorite in that
class, while in the miscellaneous di-
vision Tschaikowskys "Nutcracker
Suite" had almost one-half as many
votes again as its nearest competi-
tor, the "Polovetskian Dances" from
Borodin's Prince Igor"
On the basis of these expressed
