HOLLYWOOD, July 9-While
six harem cuties lolled under TO-
cused lights and concentrated
stares on the Arabian Night"
set today, Maria Montez, the star
of the picture, stood by almost
unnoticed in more clothes than
Scheherazade ever owned in her
life. Not working? No, said
Miss Montez; she had come to
the studio so the doctor could
check her heart and blood pres
sure.
Something wrong? No, it was
just routine for players TO be
examined before starting pic
ture, especially strenuous and
costly one. A studio wants some
assurance that its principals
aren't going to fall to pieces al
ter a few weeks. During filming
of South of Tahiti" her blood
pressure even was checked be-
fore and after scenes with the
lions and leopards.
Brian Donlevy - his blood
pressure went up when he work
ed with the animals" said the
actress. But mine-alWayS 1t
was perfectly normal. Somebody
told the publicity department,
but the people there said 1t
sounded too much like public
ity story"
SHE SAYS NO, FIRMLY
A Outstanding press agent sug-
gested that during this picture
they could arrange to test the
blood pressures of Miss Montez
and Jon Hall before and after
they played love scenes.
But the copper haired, curva-
cious, Spanish Dutch actress,
who's as smart as II foxes,
souelched the idea. IF Mr.. Hall
and l do an ardent embracing
and my blood pressure doesn
60 up, the public will say | am
cold. If it does 60 up, Mr.. Halls
wife will be mad at me. So that
is what you call ON the spot,
and | am not having any, thank
you"

The amorous deprivations of

SVuuSSRSsSSs
The foot is gradually being
driven home that this war pro-
duction business, big and hur-
ry.up os it is, still will not be
obIe TO utilize the productive
capacity of every monufoetur-
ing plant in the country. There
are not enough moteriols and
there is not enough skilled To-
Dor to use every plant on war
production and nothing but
the most essential civilian
goods production.
As q result, you ore opt TO
hear much yowlin9 as thou
sands and tens Of thousands OF
these small manufacturing
firms realize they're not going
to get any war orders. Many
of these firms have been shut
down by WPB Iimitoton or
ders, cutting off the monufoc-
ture of civilian goods. But
those cutoff orders we're to
sove materials and it does not
follow that everyone OF these
shut down firms eventually
will oct war contracts. The sod
foot is that they will have to
get realistic and reolize that
there ore going to be more
business casualties - perhaps
IS, 900 or $4,000 Of them.
As mentioned in this space
before, the Smaller War Plonts
Corporation. created as q
branch Of the War Production
Board, is not going to solve the
problem. 1t will help some
smo Ter manufacturers get
war contracts, but SWPC can
really do nothing which the
Army and Navy contract and
procurement services have not
already been empowered to do
and which they have been do
ing for months. In fact, War
Department finance officers
have been going around the
country, making speeches to
Chambers Of Commerce and
groups Of business men, telling
them that if they needed fin
oncioI help for retooling or ex-
ponsion, the services we're ou-
torized to give q lit.
MANY CAN'T DO JOB
To force any opPrecioble
number Of these disIocoted
plants to keep going when
they ore not equipped to do c
good Job on war orders would
be industrial boondoeelins OF
q serious nature, according tc
present WPB thinking. In toe
many Of these plants, the ma.
chine tools ore not accurate
enough to do the precision
work required for military pro-
ducton. To give contracts tc
shops Of this category just tc
keep them busy would not only
waste material but slow uI
production as we'll.
Definite efforts ore being
made to spreod war contract:
to as many small plants O:
possible. One fruitful method
Of bringing more plants into
war production hos been by re-
examination and relocation o
contracts. For instance, in re-
viewing controcts for making
time fuses for shells, it wa.
found that one such big con
tract had been given to
watch company. While this q
first seemed like q notable
conversion Of q civilian in
dustry to war production, re
examination showed it wos {
bad contract. Making time
fuses requires no specially &C
curote machinery. The pre-
cision tools and highly ex
perienced machine operator.
