IloLb1 4 "oOD, aug l0-CnarleS
Boyer, who used to produce pictures
in France, and who knows lot
more about the movie business
than the mere making of restrain
ed mugs into the camera, long
has figured that u wealth of un-
tapped screen material lay in short
stories.
He also believes that only two
kinds of entertainment pictures
should be made today For interest
ing realism, only the war or some
thing bearing on the war is worth
consideration. The alternative, he
believes, is unreality-somethin far
removed from out lives and prob
lens.
Out of such ideas is coming
Flesh and Fantasy" which is GER
tain to be one CT the most interest
ing experiments in movie history
One indefinite thing about it right
now is its title, which likely will
be changed.
MYSTERY STUFF
Anyway, it's collection of four
short stories. Unlike Tales of
Manhattan" which is a chapter
picture dealing with the varied ad-
ventures of a dress coat, this new
episode production seems to be
linked only by the esoteric. Spooky
quality of its material.
Julien Duvivier and Boyer, who
were associates in France, are the
co-producerS besides being, reSpec-
lively, the director and one OF the
) stars They're telling little about
three of the episodes and nothing
about the fourth: This much I've
learned, though: One deals with
palmistry, another with dreams;
the third is vaguely identified as
showing how forces of nature pro-
tect the weak The first is an adap-
tation of Oscar Wilde's Lord Ar
thur Seville's Crime"
In it, Thomas Mitchell is a for
tune-t teller who makes series of
astonishing predictions which, as
they are borne out, begin to upset
the mind of the determinedly skep-
ical Edward G.. Robinson. The lat
ter is nice, gentle gu" who hates
nobody, but when Mitchell predicts
he will commit murder, Robin
son decides he may as we'll 60
ahead and get it over with. After
being frustrated in his plans to do
away with some old parties who
were about to die anyway, he full
fills the prophecy by killing the

SET IN CIRCUS
The second episode is Mr., Boyer's
vehicle, with Barbara Stanwyck ap-
pearing with him. This is the one
about dreams. The Suave actor will
be seen as circus aerilist He
dreams about falling and eventually
does. Additional fearsome elements
are introduced because Miss Stan
Wyck is a murderess who's always
being bounded by the police.
That's about all l know regard
ing Flesh and Fantasy" except
that an imposing staff OF writer's
has taken care of the fantasy sit
uation, and that much of the flesh
hasn't been selected to date, Anna

are to be chosen and Boyer says

MOSCOW, Aug. 5-UP)-Front-
line dispatches and communicative
said today that the Germans had
made new gains both northeast and
southwest of Stalingrad, one of the
most coveted objectives in Adolf
Hitler's campaign.
The Soviet noon communique said
Russian forces, under heavy enemy
pressure, retreated slightly and
fortified themselves in new posi-
tions south of Kotelnikovski. which
is 80 miles southwest of Stalingrad.
Dispatches reported that the Ger
mans had advanced on several sec
tors near the bank of the Don
river iii the KletSkaya area, after
all-night and all-day tank and mo-
torized infantry attacks. The mid
night communique revealed that the
Germans had penetrated to the
river bank, and they now appeared
to be enlarging their wedge. Klet-
skaya is IS miles northwest of Stall
ngrad.
AT least on the Kletskaya front,
the Russians were reported to have
partially recouped. The Soviet army
organ Red Star said they entrench-
ed themselves in new positions
along the river bank, then counter
attacked, improved several positions
and recaptured an important hill
lock.

A seven-point program "to keep
the cost Of living from spiraling up
ward" was presented to congress
by President Roosevelt. Living
costs have increased approximately
is per cent since the outbreak OF
war in 1899. The presidential pro-
gram proposes the following steps:
/. "We must tax heavily, and in
that process keep personal and cor
porate profits at a reasonable rate.

net limit on Individual income.)
2. I'VE must fix ceilings on the
prices which consumers, retailers,
wholesalers and manufacturers pay
for the things they buy; and ceilings
on rents for dwellings in all areas
affected by war industries.

neration received by individuals for
their work.

received by growers for the prod

5. I'VE must encourage all citi-
zens to contribute to the cost of win
ming this war by purchasing war
bonds with their earnings instead
of using those earnings to buy arti-
cles which are not essential.
6. I'VE must ration all essential
commodities of which there is q
scarcity, so that they may be dis
tributed fairly among consumers

IMPORTING COTTON?
washington, d. C.

For years the United States has
had huge surplus of cotton. The
idea of importing cotton seemed fam
tastic. Yet that is exactly what is
about to be done, as the latest de-
velopment in the Good Neighbor pol
icy.
Oscar Johnson, leading Mississippi
cotton planter and former official Of
the AAA, will 60 to South America
to buy surplus cotton from Peru and
Brazil. He carries a checkbook of
the Commodity Credit corporation,
whose funds for domestic and for
eign crop purchases amount to
"a, OOO, 0O0, 900.
Both Peru and Brazil are suffer-
ing severely from loss of foreign
markets. Brazil's cotton was sold
in Europe, Peru's to Japan. Both Lat
in American countries wholeheart-
eddy backed the United States at the
Rio conference and now Uncle
Sam is returning the favor.
For some time, department of ag-
riculture officials, fearful of out
cries from the cotton belt, were tim
i'd about buying foreign cotton. They
thought they might get away with
purchases for storage in South
America-but not for imports into
the U. S.
But two agriculture officials-John
B. Hudson, president of Commodity
Credit, and Sam Bledsoe, aide to
Secretary Claude Wickard - con-
ceived the smart idea of putting the
plan squarely up. to southern con-
gressmen, with Oscar Johnson as the
choice for buyer.
This worked like charm. Cotton
congressman have full confidence in
Johnson, and they even approved
importing some cotton, especially
the long staple variety from Peru,
which does not directly compete
with U. S. cotton.
Meantime, plans are being made
to purchase other Latin American
agricultural SURPRISES, including beef
and vegetable oils. But Argentina,
which is suffering more than any
other country, will get no U. S.
help while President Castillo re-
mains on the neutrality fence.

BEAVERBROOK:
Leads With Chin
In Call for TnUdsion

Lord Beaverbrook, in his master
full speech in which he praised
Churchill to the skies, but called
for desperate and sudden invasion
Of the continent in order to create a
second front and thus win the war
swiftly while Russia is at her peak,
caused storm of controversy to
arise in Britain.
1t appeared the famous publisher
had led with his oddly shaped chin.
And his opposition press was not
long in taking shot at it.
One influential newspaper in Brit
ain after another criticized Beaver
brooks speech, most of them talk
ing the attitude that while Britain
had been keyed up more and more
for an invasion attempt, there was
no spirit in the country to attempt it
until the ''last bullet necessary for
success was ready and in the hands
Of the troops"
Britain, these papers said, twill
not be hustled" into a decision to
attack on the continent.
This had put somewhat of a damp
er on the previous reports, which
had emanated in the form of hints
at the time of General Marshall's
visit to London, that an invasion on
large scale of some part of the
continent was definitely in the i'm
mediate offing.
1t made it look as though high
quarters were chastising Beaver
brook, and that his speech indeed
had been ill-advised.
That the British were definitely on
the offensive in the air could not
be denied. But that land offensive
would come soon seemed wishful
thinking.
