Only Rogell and Carewe knew
it was gag but they remained
discreetly silent. John Boles,

OBJECTIVE" ROGELL
During another location trip,
to the Crow Indian Reservation
in Montana, Rogell was filming
a battle scene for the picture
Overland Stage. A stockade
was built and real Indians hired
for the attack. The prop man
had passed out blank cartridges
but when Rogell called halt to
the scene an old Indian chief
was found lying in the grass
with a bullet hole in his head.
Lawyers, detectives and govern
ment men sWarmed over the re-
servation. The film troupe was
forbidden to move. Finally Ro-
CELL started his own investiga-
ton, eventually overheard a
conversation which led to the ar
rest of the Indians son-in-laW,
who had coveted the old chiefs
money.
Great days, those" says Ro-
CELL. But the story we like best
of all is his encounter with
temperamental actor during the
silent days of the screen. For
several days the actor and Ro-
CELL tangled over the way the
actor was playing the role. Fin
ally Rogell changed the script.
He called for a gun and a blank
cartridge, and had another
player kill off the tempera-
mental fellow.

This nation is committed to the theory thot sound
democracy rests relatively high level OF general

are not absolutely essential to the cultivation Of no.
tive intelligence But with all their fouts they have
contributed nightly to making democracy work here
while it was falling in so many countries.
Every land has good colleges and universities.
Germonys and toIy's we're famous. Yet those two
notions drfted first and furthest backward from de-
nocroey.
From this one might infer thot few top-notch
universities for benefit Of the elect, not enough
to serve democrocys purpose
The unique feature Of American higher education
is that it offers opportunity to almost everybody right
in his own front yard at every variety Of cost.
Tens Of thousands Of youngsters are graduated

this war economy.

per cent, stote and publicly controlled colleges off
1873 per cent, and others Il per cent.
These figures do not reflect the l8.l9yeor-old
droft, which had not even been leeolized when they
were compiled.
The significance Of the situation goes deeper than

THE CHICAGO METHOD

Butcherlng technique has had
to be standardized on what's
known as the Chicago method,
with 10 primal cuts for whole
salers. This won't affect the cuts
which the consumer buys, ex-
cept that the armed services will
get the best primal cuts. Price
ceilings had to be worked out
for all the meats to be rationed,
beef, veal, pork, mutton and
lamb.
Printing Ration Book No. 2
h as been the worlds biggest
printing job. To provide one
book for 134 million people, $50
million books had to be print
ed. 1t took a month TO make the
safety paper and another month
to print. Practically every press
capable of handling a piece OF
the job was put to work on a
24-hour basis. The books would
fill three 40-car trains.
The point system had to be
worked out, with assigned point
values for every cut of meat.
And finally, the ration banking
system tried in the Albany area
had to be perfected and spread
TO the entire country so that the
retailers would have some me-
dunn Of exchange for the 49,
264 100000 coupons they'll col
lect from Book No. 2 alone.
This should give you an idea
Of the headaches involved.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

The amount of sweat, toll and
tears that 60 into one of these
rationing programs Is almost I'M
believable. There is considerable
beefing now because rationing
of m e a I is not yet in effect,
though the shortage is actually
here. But the only reason COM
pulsory meat rationing is not
yet in effect is that the OPA
boys haven't been able to figure
out all the angles.
Planning the meat rationinp
program has been in charge of
John j. Madigan, q University
of Colorado boy who learned the
meat business the hard way.
That is, he went to work for Ar
mour in Chicago after he had
graduated from the Harvard
School of Business Administra-
ton and done three years extra
research work which won him
a doctors degree in commercial
science. But for the last eight or
nine years he has been running
slaughterhouses and stockyards
and meat distribution centers
from st. Joseph, Mo, to New
York, so he knows his butcher
ing.
Meat rationing was first Off
cially mentioned out loud last
Aug. 81 when the Department of
Agriculture said it would be set
up in about four months. That
was an optimistic guess. 1t will
take at least five months to get
everybody set, maybe longer. No
one is mentioning any specific
date as yet, nor is there any
assurance that the two-and-a
half pounds per person per week
will be the fixed ration.
Department of Agriculture cut
quotas Of beef to 80 per cent,
then 70 per cent of civilian con-
sumption in 1941 for the three
months period ending Dec. 81.
Butchers and consumers bought
a h d, figuring the cut was
meaningless and that they'd be
given more when the quota ran
out. They're finding out how
wrong they were.

THIS PAST week has con-
tanned the most decisive events
Of World War IL in favor OF
the United Nations. The Red
armies have fought the Mans
TO a standstill. Our marines
at Guadalcanal brought the
Japanese 10 a complete halt.
The British have forced the
over-rated Rommel into a rout
in Egypt, and our military
units have launched the much
talked-of second front.
The British and United
States efehsives IN northern
Africa are definitely part Of
one great plan which has, as
of this date, been perfectly
enacted.
THE MUCH discussed sec
ond front has become a fact
in the most effective manner.
The propaganda which pre-
coded our offensive action was
perfect.
I have always felt that
President Roosevelt, Prime
Minister Churchill and
Premier Stain were In COM
plete accord and knew exactly
when and where the second
front was to be launched.
The Russian demand for q
second front in Europe. plus
our own unofficial and official
public statements, added to
the 'Dieppe raid, fooled the
'svsArld as to where the blow
wottld be struck.
One direct result of the in
vsslon will be to force the
yichy French government to
show its true colors.
FROM "A military stand
point, how Vichy disposes of
her fieet is Of paramount in
terest. Various contradictory
reports have been circulated.
One said that the main
part of the French feet, based
at Toulon, had taken to the
high seas to give battle to the
British and American naval
units.
Another said the French
feet was ready to move but
had not left its anchorage at
Toulon.
THE UNITED NATIONS
must be fully aware of the
exact strength Of French fight
ing ships which could be
massed in battle against them.
II the United Nations gain
practically complete control
Of the southern coast OF the
Mediterranean Sea, as it
seems likely, IL will force the
fuehrer to move large por-
lions Of the Axis army to
defend the southern coast Of
Europe-in particular the Bal
kans, Italy, and Mediterranean
Continental France.
Thus, the second front
accomplishes its great OBJ

pressure on Russia. When
this Is done. the Red Army
will probably take the Of
