Son of Fury Is Packed
With Action Throughout

Spanning three continents and the
seven seas, Son of Fury" the story
of Benjamin Blake, is the fiery. ac-
tion-packed story of man who bat
ties the world for his birthright.
Starring Tyrone Power in the roar
ing title role, the Elimination of
Edison Marshalls best-seller Ben
lamin Blake" contains the adven-
lures of ten hfetimes-replete with
lusty fights, adventure and tempest
uous romance under South Sea
Island moon.
goth Century Fox's able produc-
ton chief, Daryl F. Zanuck, went
all out on the filming of Son of
Fury A top-flight cast was as
sembled, including exotic Gene
Tierney as the alluring native girl,
villanious George Sanders who por-
trays Iyrone's vindictive uncle;
gorgeous Frances Farmer as Ty-
rone's English sweetheart; and young
Roddy Mcdowell as the youthful
Benjamin Blake.
Camera crews were dispatched to
the South Seas to photograph au-
thentic scenes, and an accurate rep
lea of the old port of Bristol took
shape on the studios back lot. A
complete torture ship of the early
1800's was built as Director John
Cromwell put the cast through its
rigorous PAGES.
Also featured in the strong cast
are John Carradine, Elsa Lanches-
ter, Harry Davenport, Kay John
son and Dudley Digges. The cast
is said to turn in unusually fine per-
formances, with credits spread even

Is the President, Too,
Permitting Politics To
Dominate His Actions?
(Cut Bank Pioneer Press)

A member of the Washington bu.
reau of the Christian Science Moni-
tor who has been attending the pres
ident's press conferences for sew
eral years gave us an impression OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's changed spirit after
attending one of these conferences
last week.
He was asked five or six ques-
tons, about major matters that are
now engaging the interest of the
nation. He was more evasive than
usual and his replies were not
couched in the usually clever man
ner. Even his quips lacked their
oldtime pungency
The writer wondered if, like most
of the congressman who are now
daWdling and ducking important
controversial issues. he had political
considerations in the back Of his
mind or if the replies were those
of an overworked and burned-out
man.
In one of his recent penetrating
editorials William Allen White, the
brilliant Kansas editor, observed
that all the official forces in Wash
ington and outside had started to
direct the political winds for a
fourth term for Roosevelt. their line
OF argument being that whether we
are still at war or whether we are
In the midst of peace negotiations it
will be imperative that he remain
in leadership. White saw the gray.
est danger in such maneuverings.
IN its implications as regards the
prosecution of the war.
We may be certain that most
members of congress, especially the
lower house, are giving first thought
to the November elections. If the
president is in the same attitude
it is something that must give the
country the shudders, in view Of the
dismal present situation that con-
fronts the United Nations.
One Of he most dependable of
the Washington news writers re-
ported not long ago that the presi-
dent spent three hours in confer
ence with New York political
leader who was discussing tactics in
relation to the campaign that has
brought the chief and his former
confidante, Jim Farley, TO grips,
while key men in the war and navy
departments waited impatiently
outside.
The country may be in a mood
to condone bad mistakes in war
prosecution, due to feverish haste
and almost complete lack Of pre-
paration before we were attacked
IN the Pacific area. But if political
considerations are to dominate. the
country's spirit will be hard to
maintain.

|ntercity Buses Ordered
To Load 10 Capacity
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
To eliminate waste of tires, fuel
and equipment. the Office of De-
Tense Transportation today ordered
intercity buses loaded to capacity,
when passengers are available, be-
ginning January l.
capacity for each bus will be
determined by the amount of weight
the vehicle can carry safely, based
on the size and number of its tires.
The order specifies 100 per cent
of the weighted load carrying ability
as the yardstick for computing
capacity, rather than 100 per cent
ODT said this resulted from the
35-mile speed limit, which causes
less strain on tires than if the We
hicle were operated at higher
speeds.
A bus may be considered loaded
to capacity, however. when it con-
tains the maximum number of pas
sengers and baggage or express
which the vehicle can transport
safely and efficiently"
The order is designed, ODT ex-
planned, to fill empty seats with
passengers who otherwise would re-
quire second bus The capacity"
loading requirement will not apply
If bus must operate over any high
way, bridge or other structure
deemed unsafe to support the capac-
ity load. In such a case, the bus
must carry the maximum load per-
mitted by State or local authorities.

Control Of Jobs
Not YET Needed,
McNutt Says
Cuts His Estimates
OfWor Industry
Requirements

War Manpower Commissioner
Paul v. McNutt revised from
20,500,000 to 19,30O,OOo today his
estimate of the number of per-
sons that will be needed in war
Industry by the end of next year.
On the other hand, he said that
estimates on the total number of
persons to be in the military serv-
Ices and in all types of gainful en-
ployment by the end of 1943 had
been revised upward from 62,500.000
to 64.5o0,0OO.
Nevertheless, Mr. McNutt told
press conference that he considered
compulsory job control legislation
unnecessary at present and declared
that neither war industry nor farm
production had been cut by lack of
manpower thus far.
Cut Unexplained
Mr.. McNutt said that during 1912
the number of persons engaged in
war industry alone had grown from
100000 to 17.500,0O0, while the
number in non-War industry had
shrunk from 100000 to 21,OOO,OO0.
He did not explain the reasons
Tor the 100000 cut in the number
of war workers to be needed by the
end of next year or the expansion
of 100000 in the total military
and labor force, but there was an
indication that agriculture might
account for this shifting of esti-
mates.
Mr., McNutt said he hoped to
assure agriculture there would be
sufficient labor for the planting and
harvesting of the crop now sched-
uled under the 1943 farm program.
Halls Voluntary Gains.
Il will go as far as necessary to
accomplish this" he said. L think,
however. it will require utilization of
a good many people who have not
been in agricultural work before"
The manpoWer chief said that he
felt happy over success attained in
taking care of war work labor needs
through voluntary agreements in
various areas. He said he had not
used the indirect sanctions available
to him to enforce his policies because
he was trying to make the volun-
tary agreements accomplish his
object, but he said we will have to
utilize everything we have where it
will do the most good to meet the
load we're going to have to carry in
1913"
President Roosevelt has given Mr.
McNutt authority to direct other
Government agencies to enforce his
policies through such indirect sane
lions as penalizing war contractors
who refused to cooperate with the
ManpoWer Commission.
