The original Eileen was 10 Ann

Booth, the original Ruth, is still the

The screen Eileen is Janet Blair,

pretty for the part Of a girl whom

One other minor criticism can be
registered. The action Of the play
covers a month and the time is quite
evident in the stage play. The movie
fails to convey the impression of the
passage of the weeks strongly enough,
to be effective, so that the con-
tlnuous action seems to be COM

Australian Envoy Here
Gets British Cabinet
Place in Cairo
Cosey Is First Dominion
Statesman Named to
London Government

Richard G. Casey, Australian
Minister in Washington, today
was named British Minister Of
State to represent the war cabi-
net in the Near East at Cairo-an
appointment which brings a do
minion official into the British
cabinet for the first time in his
tory. Prime Minister Churchill
made the announcement in
London.
The move provides extraordinary
recognition from England Of Aus
tralia's special Importance at time
when the sub-continent is being or
ganized for an offensive against
Japan, and is calculated to make
strong again the Austrahan-London
ties at a time when the Australian
government and people are looking
more to Washington than to London.
+ The London cabinet has supreme
control over British Empire anti
Axis strategy.
Mr.. Casey today is in California,
where he went to meet the man who
might succeed him in Washington
DR.. Herbert We're Evatt, Australian
Minister for External Affairs, who
is en- route from Australia to Wash
ington for a special mission. The
nature Of this mission has been de-
scribed only vaguely to the public.
Both Mr.. Casey and DR.. Evatt are
expected here by plane tomorrow.
Succeeds Lyttelton.
Mr.. Casey succeeds in Cairo Capt.
Oliver Lyttelton, who became Min
lister of War Production in Mr..
Churshill's cabinet shake-up last
month. He fought in the Near East
during the World War, but he has
no political experience in that part
of the world, where Australian troops
have borne much of the fighting
burden.
He came to Washington two years
ago almost to the day as Australia's S
first Minister to the United States,
leaving the post of Treasury Min
lister in the Australian cabinet.
The appointment of DR.. Evatt TO
Mr.. Caseys post here would serve
as emphatic restatement by Aus
tralia of how important it considers
the United States to Australia. DR..
Evatts office has been the channel
through which Mr.. Casey has been
communicating from Washington to
the Australian government. DR..
Evatt's wife is Americen-born.
If DR.. Evatt is not selected for the
Washington appointment, it is said
to be certain that a cabinet ofncer
will be chosen
Mr.. Casey will leave here for Lon
don, where he will consult with his
fellow War Cabinet members, and
then proceed to Cairo, headquarters
for Allied operations in the Near
East. Viscount Halifax, British Am
bassador to the United States, said
last night that unless I'm much
mistaken, the Middle East position
is going to loom large in the news

Voters Are DEMANDING
Labor and Profits
Curbs, Smith Asserts
Vireinion Says Country
Asks Whether Congress
Or Unions Run War
By the Associated Press.

Representative Smith, Demo-
crat. of Virginia, urging support
of his bill to limit profits and
abolish overtime pay on war con-
tracts, testified today that men,
bers of Congress were feeling
"the lash of the whip" from con-
stituents clamoring for such
legislation.
While administration leaders
sought to have Sunday double time
pay suspended for the duration
through mutual consent Of manage
ment and labor in war industries.
Mr.. Smith went much farther. He
appeared before the House Naval
Affairs Committee in behalf Of his
measure which would:
l. Limit profits on war contracts
to a maximum of per cent of cost
2. Suspend Federal maximum
hour legislation on work done under
Navy contracts for the duration OF
the war.
g. Do away also with overtime and
doubetime pay. and with the closed
shop on these contracts. The
country wants to know where II
stands. whether Congress Is running
the war effort, or labor"
Asks Showdown Now.
IF We have an insurrectional
spirit in labor ranks Representative
Smith declared, for Gods sake. let's
know 1t now, let's meet 1t, let's get
1t behind us before 1t is too late"
Shouting out his criticism of the
closed shop, Mr.. Smith told the COM
mittee:
Some one will remind us of the
Constitution and say that to abro-
gate the closed shop agreements is
unconstitutional. But I say that
there is inherent in government the
right and the power to do every
thing and anything necessary for
its preservation in time Of war"
Government Surrender Opposed.
Mr.. Smith reviewed the contro-
versy over the building of the Cur
rier Co.'S prefabricated houses In
the Detroit area and said:
The closed shop agreement under
Sidney Hillman's direction has in
effect said to both union and nom
union labor that none shall work
on construction unless he is men,
Der of the A. F. L. I have never
before heard of q closed shop

States construction work"

Major Battle
Believed Near
In Burma
By DANIEL DE LUCE,


MANDALAY, Burma, March 10.
The big battle Of the Prone
road-key to Burma's Yenang-
yuang oil fields-seemed today
ready to burst momentarily as
japanese troops streamed up the
Irrawaddy Valley for an assault
on the new British defense posi-
tionS.
Reuters said unofficial ad-
vices from Burma reported that
British imperial forces had with
drawn from Tharrawaddy, so
miles north of Rangoon and
almost half way to Prone up the
asphalt-paved western branch Of
the road to MandalayD
Marshaling their forces for the
new attack, the Japanese were
moving up the broad Irrawaddy by
boat. up the road by motor column,
and cross-country by mule train.
No Natural Obstacles.
There are emo natural obstacles
along the lowland road to help the
defense. Washes which will be deep
with flood waters during the mid
May monsoon now are dry and can
be crossed by tanks.
Other strong Japanese forces are
moving northward along the east
branch Of the Mandalay road toward
Toungoo. A sharp clash between
British and japanese forces on this
road occurred yesterday south OF
Kanyutkwin, 40 miles south OF
foungoo.
Most observers here now are con-
vinced that whether an Allied foot
hold can be retained in Burma de-
pends in large measure on the
Chinese troops which Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek sent into the
Shan States at the northern flank
Of the japanese drive.
Discuss Coordination.
Chinese and British commanders
are known to be discussing the CO.
ordination of these veterans from
China with the British, who since
early January have fought here
against great odds of two or three
to one.
The British rarely have men
toned the activity of the Chinese
troops, who so far apparently have
been engaged only in border patrol
work
The War Department in
Washington announced today
that 1t. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell,
American chief of staff to Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek. has
been placed in command OF the
5th and 9Th Chinese Armies op-
Grating in conjunction with the
British forces in Burma
The Chinese recently repulsed
japanese sorties into the southern
Shan states, particularly near Mong-
tung. across the border from North
ern Thailand. 1t was believed the
japanese intended these patrol at
tacks to discourage the Chinese
command from dispensing its troops
TO help the British farther south.
10000 Begin Migration.
AS the war edged deeper into
Central Burma an Indian refugee
migration which a high civil offi-
cial estimated at 10000 men, wom-
en- and children choked the roads
out of Burma, with starvation and
thirst taking a heavy toll of the
marchers.

way.
