Horse Operas
Appear Out
For Duration
Shortage of Ra1v Stock
Restricts Studio Plans
For Wesfern Films
By ROBERT MYERS.

HOLLYWOOD.
Some-juSt some-of the weeks
happenings in Hollywood:
Western pictures, the delight Of
the small-town customers, may be-
come a thing of the past. No long
er will the cowboy hero ride to
save the old homestead and the
leading lady from the cattle thieves,
judging by present indications.
Republic and Monogram and q
few minor independent producers
plan to continue their output, but
Universal and several major COM
panies have already announced
drastic curtailment, If not complete
abandonment, Of this type of picture.
Authority for this is Joseph
Gershenson, executive producer at
Universal, who has just completed
a series Of seven pictures featuring
Tex Ritter, Johnny Mack Brown,
Fuzzy Knight and Jennifer Holt.
The studio, he disclosed, will not
make any more Westerns, at least
for the duration of the war.
Why? Westerns are low-budget
affairs, but returns are compara-
lively low-and, more important
there Is the serious shortage of raw
film.
"The pity" said Gershenson, "is
that we could make seven more
Westerns with the footage left over
from some $1,0OO,0O0 "A picture"
Leftover footage is waste, Incl
dentally. I wonder how much was
left over from Lady in jam"
On an RKO set of Stand By to
Die" Director Lother mendes yells
loudly for carpenter. To Fred Mac
Murray he conf1des. HE probably
thought we might need something,
SO he disappeared"
Twentieth Century Fox crossed it.
self with Lynn Bari. They used a
voice double for her in Sun Valley
Serenade" and again in Orchestra
Wives" Now they've discovered the
pretty Lynn, has pretty fair voice
OF her own, since it's in different
pitch from the double, they can't
switch.
Difficult to See-to interview big
shot stars, particularly those now
touring the country on bond selling
campaigns, should listen to a couple
OF younger players anent publicity
and press relations.
Fox's Helene Reynolds, often
billed as socialite (for no great
reason), was very frank. IT think
this acting business" she said, "is
at least so per cent good publicity.
If you get it, you'll do all right"
Maria MonteZ. the South Ameri-
can gal, has more direct approach.
When she meets a newspaperman
for the first time, her opening words
are, "A newspaperman? Hmm
we must have lunch together veree
soon, yes?"
Okay, Maria, It's a date.
Bob Hopes managers in Holly
wood, listening to his broadcast
from Seattle, heard him say he was
going back to Alaska to play before
a few more Army camps.
They all laughed. They thought
Hope was joking about going back.
Two days later they discovered he
wasn't.

America ans Score
On GuoduIcunuI

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-CUPD-
American Marines, supported by
Army and Navy airmen, are push
ing their admittedly small often
sive on Guadalcanal island vigor-
ously enough SO that the japanese
have been forced to abandon valua-
bic equipment.
Twenty machine guns and two
small artillery pieces were reported
captured by the Americans in last
nights ccmmunique. During the
first day of the offensive west of
the airfield on Guadalcanal the
Americans captured two Is nm.
guns.
Naval communiques and naval Of
ficials have carefully avoided mag
nifying the dimensions of the Of
fensiVe which started last Thurs
day Gsland time1. They likewise
have avoided any mention of dis
order in the enemy retreat from
their advance positions near the
Matanikau river.
PRESSURE ON JAPS
But the last communique's men,
ton of machine guns and artil-
lery abandoned indicated that all
is not well with the Japanese. 1t
is a reasonable assumption that the
enemy would make every effort to
preserve all the fire power avail
able. The transportation of such
equipment from advance bases to
the scene of fighting is one of the
major logistic problems for both
sides in the battle of the Solo,

Chile Rounds Up
II German Spies.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 5. tUP)-
The government, having ordered II
Germans and Italians expelled from
Chile for spying, redoubled today its
efforts to smash the organization to
which they belonged.
A dispatch from Valparaiso said
seven of the agents, including one
woman, Catharina Werg Hartmann,
were in prison there.
Minister of Interior Raul Morales
announced late last night that the
government had issued a decree
eXpelling them. Eleven are Ger
mans, and one is an Italian.
They we're accused OF &c. ines Of
espionage for the totalitar.an gov
ernments," and Morales said the
hunt for their accomplices was be-
ing pressed, because the Chilean
government wis hes to exercise all
diligence in establishing all connec-
tionS and ramificationS of every
nature of the spy ring"
United States UI1er Secretary of
State Sumner Welles recently crit
icized Chile and Argentina, the only
two remaining neutrals in the West
ern Hemisphere, on the ground that
the" harbored axis agents who were
informing German submarines about
shipping.
Subsequently, Chile and Argentina
formally protested WelleS' remarks
and President Juan Antonio Rios of
Chile indefinitely postponed visit
to the United States at President
RooSevelt'S invitation.
The Germans ordered expelled in.

GERMAN MUNITIONS
TRAIN BLOWN UP

NEW YORK, Nov. 5. U.P.-Tha
Moscow radio nday reported that
a German munitions train has
been blown up by mines laid by
Polish patriots Cn a railway line
near Warsaw. More than 60 men
of the German escort were killed
or wounded" the radio said in a
broadcast recorded here by CHS.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-11-05

AS of last night, however, the
Navy here had received nc report
of troop activity on the eastern
flank of American positions where
new enemy troops have landed.
MORE GAINS NOTED
On Monday. American forces con-
tinued to attack the enemy west
of the airfield and made some
small gains" The communique re-
vealed that Army and Navy planes
gave strong support to those at
tacks, bombing and strafing enc
my troops and positions. 1t had
been reported in an earlier COM
munique that American destroyers
on the same day bombarded enc
my positions in the morning sup
porting our land attacks in that
area"
There still was no tendency here
to be optimistic about the situa-
ton. Naval officials pointed out
lack of reports en- any enemy ma
val or air activity for days. There
has been no mention of Japanese
air support for eight days.
JAP MOVES WATCHED
The last day Japanese aircraft
were mentioned in the vicinity of
Guadalcanal was last Friday when
American fighters shot down four
out cf a formation of six Zeros
without damage to American planes.
The last mention of any Japa-
nese surface units near Guadal-
canal was early Friday morning
when American dive bomberS at
tackled enemy destroyers in the vi
cinity of Russell islands which
are 40 miles northwest of Cape Es-
perance on the northwestern tip OF

moment he could walk, he spent his

thrown out"
All Chris knew, when he entered
through his kitchen door that after
noon, was that he was dirty and hun
CRY, that Lily was out, and that what
might have been lunch at some time
or other was now something dried
and brown on a cracked plate in the
oven of the stove. He needed food,
however, and so he took it,
1t was not until he had set it down
on his desk that he saw Beverly, a
dry-eyed and white-faced Beverly,
who stood in the doorway, tight and
unsmiling.
"My darlingl" Why didn't you
send for me?"
q think you ought to know that"
He stared at her. Meaning?"
Meaning that you can't expect to
be very welcome after yesterday, can
you?"
He was fairly close to the breaking
point himself. He stiffened slightly.
THAT, l imagine, would depend on
who is doing the welcoming" he said
slowly. If its that newspaper
story. I'm sorry. Of course. l sup
pose I was tired. But why not tell
the truth, Beverly After an, it was
my duty.
Even II it separated u.s. You
would still feel 1t your duty?"
why should ii separate u.s."
But if it did,"
He hesitated. Perhaps even then"
he said slowly. But it can't do that,
my darling. Not if we love each
other"
She passed that over. "You owe
a duty to the people who pay you,
don't you?" she demanded. "The
city"
ooh, damn the city," he said saw
agely. whats that got to do with
you and me?"
Because I got you on the city pay
roll. You needn't look like that
It's always done that way. I've known
Barney O'Neill for years"
Suddenly he laughed mirthlessly.
"And 1 thought it was because was

always done that way. That's good,
too. And me telling Jenkins I had
no pull'
She ignored that. you've always
hated my father" she said. "But to
take cheap revenge, and at such

PRECISELY" he said dryly. "At such
time is right, with things as they
are. But hardly cheap revenge, my
dear. It's costing me my job, isn't
it?''
Hasn't it occurred to you that it
may cost you more than your job,
Chris ?"
He stared at her, uncomprehending
She was tired, exhausted like him
self, and facing tragedy also. But
it was incredible that they should be

Beverly for a month. He worked
furiously, but always with a sense
that the battle was lost before ne
began. Then on a bad day about
that time, eyes red from sleepless-
ness, and revolt in his very soul Chris
found brisk young man in his Of
flee, who asked him what he thought
about it.
Think about it? l think it's muir
der"
There was more of it. He attack
ed the local administration, the water
supply, the rampant graft which
kept the city too poor for proper re-
forms. He sat back in his chair and
unloaded all his fatigue, his helpless
wrath, and his indignant pity. 1t was
probable ruin, but he did not care.
And ruin in a sense it proved to be.
An evening paper that night ran a
three-column headline,
Epidemic Is Murder, Says City
Physician
Chris did not see the paper. He
seldom saw newspapers at all in
those days. He knew nothing about
it until that evening when, office
hours over, stanton Lewis walked
into the back room and SLAPPED the
paper down on his desk.
Did you say that >"
Chris glanced at the paper: Il did.
What's more, l mean II.
Lewis said nothing further. He
looked around the shabby room, gave
Chris hard, sharp glance and went
out as abruptly as he had entered.
Chris worked almost all night and,
turning in toward dawn, was waken-
ed by the telephone and Jenkins
voice.
Look here, you damned fool, what
do you mean by that stuff yester-
day? ?"
Il meant it. That's ALL"
That's plenty. You've got them
in a hot spot. They can't fire you
now But this fall they'll gently ease
you out of your job, son. That's
sure as shooting"
That's all right with me-" he
said.
He did not sleep again, however
1t would happen, as Jenkins had said
1t would worry and upset Beverly at
time when she was bearing all she
could. At nine o'clock he called hel
by telephone, to be told that she had
been up most of the night and was
still sleeping. He tried again from
drugstore later in the morning, but
Holmes answered that she was with
her mother and not to be disturbed
There was nothing to warn him
nothing to tell him of that short
sharp interview between father and
daughter the night before.
"You wanted him. Now you've got
him, and God help you. I'll follow
him up if it's the last thing l ever
do"
MAYBE he's right
Right! The impudent young pup!

One OF the leadlnH
experts in this field, DR.. Edward j. Stegltz
points out that the years between 40 end 80
are most important for taking steps to pre-
vent premature old age and uselessness.
Even though a man is only going TO live
to be ninety, instead of the coveted one hun
dred and fifty. it is the goal of modern medi-
cine TO keep that man living happy, active
life all of those years instead of allowing him
TO turn into a Misunderstanding out an
existence of unhappiness and boredom
After 40, experts find, it is preferable to
be underweght.
Every extra inch on our waistline shortens
our years accordingly" says one authority.
But that does not mean that elderly people
should starve, or overexercise. Both of these
things are bad. THE diet Of the middle
aged should contain a liberal amount of pro-
ten minerals, and vitamins, but a smaller
portion of fats and sugars"
Exercise should be moderate and sensible
never violent.
Relaxation is important at any time Of
life but more so when one has reached the
age when getting overtired may put an undue
strain on bodily organs that have reached the
point in life where they normally SLOW down"
But above ALL it is important TO keep
abreast Of the times hang onto your interest

said "Senility often becomes a disease only
as a result of the sudden cessation Of the or
