A bell-ringer for the fans If there
ever was one is Goth Century Foxs
Rings on Her Fingers the gay
romantic comedy which opened this
morning at the Loew Poll theater
for an engagement Of five days.
Packed with comedy, the picture
makes the most OF Its hilarious plot
to keep Henry Fonda and Gene
Ttemey IN q constant state Of I'M
certainty while a slew OF laugh
provoking situations resolve them
selves.
Making her first appearance IN
youthful modern dress role, Gene
Tierney turns in a neat perform.
ance as she rompS through the Aim
matching wits with Fonda.
The story Is just right for the
two stars. Gene plays the part OF
q shopgirl whose services are en-
listed by two shady characters,
Laird Cregar and Spring Byington,
to mulct inIllionaires out Of their
money. Gene, at first, is unwilling,
but the prospect Of gorgeous clothes,
swark hotels, travel, palm trees and
AL the accoutrementS Of q glanlor-
Gus debutante win her over. Nat
urally, the victim turns out to be
Henry Fonda, guy who has finally
saved UP enough to buy the boat
he's always dreamed Of.
The performances are everything
expected Of them. Gene gets away
from the custoIne roles she has been
playing to add just the right touch
to the debutante part, and Fonda
continues his series Of delightful
comedy characterizations. Laird
Cregar who is rapidly turning into
one Of the best "heavies" in filYn-
dom, turns in another grand per.
romance, and Spring Byington.
Henry Stephenson and John Shep-
perd are just right.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-Elitler's
titanic drive for the Caucasus and
lower Volga and the Red army's
valiant resistance intensified a
conflict today in which mankind's
most diversified and deadliest
weapons were flung into the fray,
dwarfing' by comparison the guns
and machines available for war
fare when Austria invaded Serbia
for the start of World War l ex-
actly rs years ago yesterday.
High mobility, roaring planes
and tanks plus manpower equipped
with weapons of all kinds form
the nucleus of modern battles.
To the panoramic observer of
the struggle on the 200-mile Don
front, the grapple between the
mechanical German might and
Timoshenko's legions looks some
thing like a rolling dustcloud red
dened by a driving thunderstorm.
Deafening thunderclaps from ex-
plosions, mixed with the volume
of gun-chatter and roaring motors

.Pe||ey TO Take
Stand in Defense

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. ! GNS)
William Dudley Pelley, leader of
the Silver Shirts, avowed hater of
the Jews and one-time candidate
for tho presidency of the United
States. will have his day in court
Monday and will seek 10 untangle
himself from charges of sedition,
launched against him and two as
sociates by the federal govern
ment.
The publisher Of the now dis
barred Galilean, mouthpiece of the
Silver Shirts organization, has
brought about the subpenaeing of
well known personageS, including
Charles A. Lindbergh, Mai. Gen.
Van Horne Mosely, U. S. A., re-
tired the former senator from
West Virginia, Rush Holt. and the
publisher. William Allen White, Of
Topeka. Kan.
Lindbergh, served with his sub
pena in Detroit, said:
IL do not know what value I
can be either to the prosecution
or the defense. I do not believe
I have ever met MIR. Pelley, and
so far as I know have no infor-

Lindbergh At one time was
spokesman for the America First
committee. now defunct.
Pelley's associates, also on trial
are Miss Marian Henderson and
Lawrence A. Brown. They assist
cd him in publication Of the Cali
lean, contents OF which are the
basis for the charges against the
trio.

Motor, Tank Bear
Brunt of Battles

As dispatches from the Don
indicate, the motor and the tank
still bear the brunt of battle.
Based on my own observation. I'd
say that on both sides the action
is taking place in far-apart To-
calities.
Smokeclouds from n scorched
countryside are the unfailing mile
stones of battle. plus the deafen-
ing roar of motor and gun. Over
head at higher altitude cruise the
protecting air Squadrons, dog

meet
But over the advancing tanks on

IS MN. Gun Used
By Nazis on Tanks

These are backed up further up
the line by howitzers, which on
the NaZi side are an improvement
on the famed 42-centimeter how
itzer which broke the forts of
Liege in Belgium in 1914.
In one respect the Nazis excelled
in modern weapons. That is in the
use and effectiveness of the 49,
millimeter gun against tanks, pill
boxes or planes.
/ first became aware OF their
deadly value in Holland. Belgium
and France, where the Nazis
pointed these guns horizontally at
targets half mile Off and blew
them sky-high. 1t was daring
and devastating intensifcation of
artillery employment.
The Nazis risked these guns by
pushing them far forward. but |
noticed they were always well
protected by screen OF tanks or
lesser guns.
In Egypt and in Russia this gun
has proved it's worth over and
over. No doubt it plays a major
part in todays offensive against
the Caucasus and Volga.
Sm keless trench mortars,
throwing their projectiles almost
noiselessly. are another Nazi inn
provement in weapons. II enables
the Nazis TO install these disturb
ing weapons close 10 the opponent
and effectively cover their own
advance.

The steamer Greater Buffalo,

was announced Saturday by James
T. Mcmillan, president of the De-
troit and Cleveland Navigation
Company.
The ship has been plying the
passenger route between Detroit
and Buffalo for years. Her sister
ship, the Greater Detroit, will re-
main in regular paSsenger-freight

Big, Mobile Guns
Back Nazi Push

AS the Nazi spearheads of tanks
and men advance farther, they
keep in contact by radio. Each
Nazi company has several men
equipped with portable radio 70
keep in touch and take new or
ders; every tank group is equipped
the same way. We call them the
walkie-talkies in our own forces.
Nazi offensive power against
Stalingrad is backed by scores OF
highly mobile heavy guns. These
are brought up on six-wheefed
trucks and quickly put into firing
position.
/ saw them get eight-inchers
into place within half-hour
Medium tanks are brought into
action the same way-by motor
truck. 1t saves time and wear and
tear on treads.
If fortified obstacles are of a
major character. such as on a Don
River crossing or key points in the
defense of Stalingrad, then the
Germans bring into place and
assemble 28-inch rifles for long
range bombardment.
