Ann didn't take the ribbing any
more seriously than did her Warner
Bros. bosses, because she and they
knew that she could hand in a good
piece of dramatic acting whenever
she was-called on to do so.
Ann returned to Warner Bros.
cameras last April, and before the
year ended she had done four
widely diverse characterizations in
as many pictures. And in only one.
Navy Blues" did her legs have
anything to do with the role.
Roles Are Different.
In that carefree opus she was a
cabaret entertainer, singing and
dancing and wisecracking for the
boys of Uncle Sans fleet. She
knocked the part for loop.
Her next two pictures, in which
she worked at the same time, were
Kings Row" and 1.-THE Man Who
Came to Dinner" with two widely
separated themes.
In Kings Row" Ann is a good
hearted, frank girl who lives on the
wrong side of the tracks. Critics
call AIMS work in the picture some
of the finest acting ever to come to
the screen. Nor does sex appeal
have anything to do with their deci-
sion. You get not so much as a
pep at those glorious gains OF AIMS
in Kings Row."

SURPRISE TEST
 FOR WATERBURY
Complete BIackOut to Be Ordered Shortly; Warn-
 ing Given Residents

Waterbury and nearby towns will have surprise test blackout soon, probably bsfore the end of the month. and householders and bus mess operators should be ready at all times, Chief Air Raid Warden James J. Curtin said today. The time of the test will not even be known to civilian defense heads here.
 The date and hour of the test will be fixed by an official of the State Defense Council. He will sim ply notify the local Defense Council a short time before the test to sound the "alert" at a certain time and to invoke the blackout at a certain time later.
 Similar orders will go to several towns in the Waterbury area, and their blackouts will start at the san1e time as this city's.
 With the possibility that this and subsequent tests may last an hour or more, MT. Curtin urges that each local family prepare a refuge room where members can stay in comfort during blackouts. It should be an interior room, and provision should be made to make certain that no light is visible from the outside. Wardens and other civilian defense workers will be on duty to make sure that blackout regula- tions are complied with fully.

NEW RECISTRANTS
 ASSIGNED NUMBERS
1920 Youths Listed Ace cOrding to Birth Dates;
 Appeals Public News

Local Serective Service boards to- day began issuing serial and order number for young men in the 1920 age group, who registered for the draft three weeks ago.
 No lottery is being held for the last registrants, the boards having been instructed to assign them num- bers in the order of their birth dates. Only those who are 20 or over can, under the Selective Service Act at present, be called up for military service.
 Registrants' order numbers start at 8 figure one higher than the highest previous order number as- signed by each local board.
 Meantime, from Hartford came word that state Selective Service headquarters has revised its rules to allow local boards to make public the names of those who appeal their draft status. Many appeals are ex- pected as the boards extend the calling-up of married men for serv- ice.

 "So that these men may be thor oughly prepared to meet the prob lems of mobile warfare, the officers and civilian automotive experts of the Quartermaster Corps who com- pose the school faculty are em- phasizing practical bench work with the tools of the mechanics trade. Before they can win diplomas as first-class soldier-mechanic they must prove their ability by doing actual repair and maintenance work on vehicles that are in daily opera tion throughout the Sixth Corps Area"
 Successful completion of the course will mean that the pair or eligible for promotion and appointment to posts as supervising mechanices oi motor transport administrative as- sistants.

Synthetic Rubber May Finally Be Produced
Agricultural Dept Claims Process Discovered for

corn oil that may fill some of the uses of rubber"
 The announcement came as mem bers of a senate agriculture subcom- mittee predicted senate passage this week of proposed legislation for establishment of a rubber supply agency to handle synthetic rubber production from farm products.
 Chairman Guy M. Gillette, D., Iowa said Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, would bring the measure for consideration tomorrow. Gillette also revealed that his subcommittee has decided to pay no attention" to War Production Chairman Don- aid M. Nelson's expressed opposi- tion to the measure.
 Senate Republican Leader Charles L. McNary of Oregon said the bill lis the quickest route we can travel to get essential rubber it has a double value in that it reduces sur- plus farm commodities and con- nounced by Nelson as extremely serves our oil resources"
 The proposed legislation, de- synthetic rubber program by estab- of much of its control over the dangerous" would deprive the WIPE fishing a separate agency to utilize farm commodities in making rubber aimed at provision which would empower the $10000-a-year director of the agency to grant priorities on substitutes. Nelson's criticism was critical materials to firms using ag- ricultural products in manufactur- ing butadiene.
 Unsafe Fading Practice
 Nelson has admitted that his butadiene program-using oil-was unsatisfactory; that "if I were to start on this program again, I would allot 60 per cent of the plants to rubber from alcohol"
 In a statement released today, FL Hot E. Simpson, counsel for the House subcommittee on coinage, weights and measures Investigating the rubber situation said:
 I'm in favor of synthetic rub Der as good insurance because there is really no rubber shortage, 1t is merely mythical Keeping up this controversy over the rubber situation is hindering and impeding the war effort"
 The present stock pile of crude rubber is the greatest in history, he said, and millions of tons of scrap are available. He claimed more crude rubber could be obtained from rubber r-bearing trees in this hemis- phere than formerly was imported from the Far East and that suffi- cient rubber could be reclaimed from scrap to last through the war and to meet postwar requirements.

 REDS HIDDEN STORES
 ARE KEPT SECRET
 There and in Ssia are new in- dustrial centers and some oil = how much of either the Russians will not tell even their Allies. But there is real fear that these are insufficient and that if driven from Europe, the Red Army would be starved to pink skele- ton. It would invite a Japanese attack in the rear while in front the Germans left holding force and attacked the British Isles and the AEF.
 British equipment must now be rushed to Africa, which is but the southern flank of the Russian front. There Rommels success astonishing to him and to Auchin- leck-has drawn supplies and re- serves enough to leave the whole Near East weak. The unacceptable fact is that our enemies have placed the Russians and British in desperate position. To help ex- tricate them will cost less now than to stall and pay more later.
 The crisis became acute mainly because the Red Army is a great army but faces a greater. Its courage and manpower cannot cancel superior generalship and equipment. Its guerrillaS have been largely mopped up. Its anti tank defense checkmated.
 That defense depended heavily upon special rifles and grenades used close to enemy. tanks. But the Russians find getting close terribly costly now, when Nazi tanks are protected by chaperoning artillery on motor mounts fast enough to screen the tanks with their fire. If infantry, though mo- torized, be still queen of battles, the self-propelled gun may be emerg- ing as prince.
 ALLIED MIGHT
 CAN TURN TIDE
 We are now making such guns, also new weapons, though there is always the problem of shipping to Russia or second front" We and the British may send our ex- cellent heavy bombers to help the Russians clumsy ones in raids on And there is always this cheering and just behind the Eastern Front. fundamental fact:
 The Russians must hold, and hold soon. But just hold is all they must do. To win the war, they don't need to crush the enemy this year. On the contrary. the Germans do. The Reichswehr is now at It's noontide of power; soon every .clock-stroke will sound the knell of it's passing heyday.
