 AT 10TH CENTURY
Mary Marlin, Rochester Oscar Levant Star
 in Comedy

Gay, gag-filled and melodiouS, Paramount's musical version of the hit Broadway comedy Kiss the Boys Goodbye played again at the goth Century Theatre last night, where an audience laughed itself into a jovial mood at one of the smartest comedies presented here abouts in several seasons.
 Starring Don Ameche and Mary Martin. the new film was a joy to behold. as it recounted the hilarious adventures of how a beautiful belle from the South went about getting herself the starring role in Broad way play, outsmarting a handsome young director to do it. As Cinuy Lou Bethany, Mary Martin, with her devllish eyes and winsome man. nerisms, is at her best, as Lloyd Lloyd, the director. Don Ameche turns in comedy performance that rivals the best he's ever done.
 Featuring Oscar Levant, Virginia Dale, Bal bara Allen, Raymond Wal burn, Elizabeth Patterson, Jerome Cowan, Connie Boswell and Roches- ter, Kiss the Boys Goodbye" was directed by that veteran maker of hits, Victor Schertzinger who turned in such megaphone successes as Road to Singapore and Road to Zanzibar"

Empire Classifieds Pay!
Evening star., 1942-06-16

The compulsion cannot be exercised by
a single nation. To attempt that would
be to ape the dominance sought by Ger
many, by Japan, by Italy, neither of
which could achieve its object alone. The
attempt would likely impose conditions
antagonistic to the interests of our pres
ent Allies and the neutrals.
Yet, already in preparation for re-
newed isolation, there are proposals for a
negotiated peace and opposition to pres
ent plans for peace.
But there should be negotiations be-
tween the Allies only and interallied
plans might very well hasten victory. If
they were justly conceived without
either weakness or bitterness and widely
publicized they could enfeeble our ad-
versaries, both principal and satellite,
and strengthen the spirit of the enslaved
opposition. Doubtless their early adop-
ton would require revisions in the light
of events, but now is the time to study
for them. There is confusion, but no
where near the confusion that would
follow conditional surrender.
The peace must not be one between the
Allied nations and the Axis, but one with
each member Of the Axis on uncondition-
al terms. WESTMORELAND.

The walks furnish an excellent oppor-
tunity for newcomers to Washington to
keep up with their birds, at the same
time to have little social life.
The rest of us will look at that list
say "Whew!" and go back to watching
the birds in the back yard.
Any one interested in birds. by looking
over this list, can see the points in and
around Washington where there are
many songsters.
ANY person, or small group, might
easily take this list as good guide and
organize small walking parties of their
own, walks which might not be placed at
such an early hour of the morning.
There are always the back yard birds,
OF course. The advantage of bird walks
are two, besides the fresh outdoor life
and the company, and these are that a
trained ornithologist can point out many
species in few hours, and that one thus
sees more birds than he might be able to
identify in his own yard over many
weeks.
The back yard bird looks" will remain
the best for all homebodies.
Watching and feeding the birds at
home, as pointed out here for a long
time, offers a marvellous source of en-
tertainment for the whole family. and
one which becomes a part of the family
life, good for "a hours day. And the
best part Of it all is that you do not

New Name Wanted

The Presidents report to Congress
on lease-lend operations makes it
clear that new name is needed for
this phase of our war program. At
the end of last month we had dis
patched material aid to our Allies
in a total of nearly $4,000, 900 900.
But it was neither leased nor loaned.
1t will not be repaid, except to a
minor extent, either in kind or in
any other conventional manner. For
all practical purposes the supplies
which we are sending and which we
will send to our United Nations
associates are not a loan but are a
part of our contribution to the win
ming OF the war, and 1t is we'll that
the President has settled this point
once and for all.
1t is not altogether clear just what
MIR. Roosevelt meant when he spoke
of avoiding the political and eco
nomic mistakes of international'debt
experience" which we made after the
First World War, but it seems per-
fectly evident that if our debtors
could not meet the obligations in
CURED in that conflict it is idle to
suppose that the vastly greater
obligations which would arise under
strict application of the lease-lend
principle could be settled in kind or
in any other way.
1t is unfortunate that the people
OF the country, in the political fight
over the enactment of this statute,
were given the impression that re-
payment in kind was anticipated.
But the act itself is very broadly
drawn on this point. Our quid pro
quo may be repayment in kind or
property, or any other direct or in
direct benefit which the President
deems satisfactory" Under this
language, and under the facts of the
case, the President is fully justified
In taking the position that the defeat
of the Axis will be adequate benefit
for us.
The successful conduct of this war
calls for a mutually of sacrifice, a
pooling of all resources. China and
Russia have contributed the lives of
millions of men and mile upon mile
OF city and countryside which have
been laid waste by the enemy
Britain has made her contribution
In terms of brave men lost and bomb
shattered cities, and she, like the
United States, is helping to supply
our less productive Allies. The con-
quered countries-Norway, the Meth
erlands, Poland and Greece, to men
ton a few-have poured virtually
everything they had into the COM
mon pool. In our own case the war
Is just beginning, yet our losses
already have been heavy and we
know they will be greater before the
struggle is finished. In these cir
cumStances. the old literal concept
Of a lease-lend war is singularly in
appropriate. 1t carries a connotation
that should be forgotten, and the
sooner we forget it the better it
will be.

City Debt Decrease

In view Of the vast Increase In the
Federal debt, the disclosure that the
debt of American cities is declining
appears, on its face, to indicate an
encouraging trend. According to a
study by RoSina Mohaupt of the De-
troit Bureau of Government Re
search, municipal Indebtedness dur
ing the past five years has decreased
12.5 per cent. If the downward
movement continues, the report
predicted, most American cities will
eXtinguiSh their Indebtedness within
three or four decades.
The decline in city debts, however,
must be considered in relation to
other factors. Among the reasons
assigned by the research bureau for
the decrease are the precariouS
financial situation of many of the
larger American cities, and the
willingness of the Federal Govern
ment to absorb all or a major por-
ton of the costs of local public works
Though it may help city politicians,
the shift of construction expendi-
lures from the local to the Federal
Government neither lessons the total
costs of government, nor eases the
burden on the taxpayers who pay all
the bills.
The report points out that the
present downward trend in city debt
reflects the decline of the munich
pality and the ascent of the Federal
Government as a major factor in
financing many of the costs of urban
government. From political stand
point, this is highly desirable, giving
many manifestations Of physical
progress without increasing the tax
or debt burden, but it has serious
implications to the average citizen
who devoutly believes in home rule
and citizen-controlled government" )"

Though municipal indebtedness Is

lures continue their upward spiral. In
1941 these amounted to $24. .43l, ,00o.-
900 an increase Of "a per cent over the
1888 total, according to estimates of
the Census Bureau. OF last years
expenditures, the Federal Govern
ment accounted for $13,009, ,O00, 900,
the States for $500, 100000, and the
local governments for 1884, ,421 900.
In 1912, under the all-out war effort,
public expenditures are expected to
be double those of last year. Any
whiting down Of local debt will be
offset many times by the large addi-
tions to the Federal debt, which will
be necessary in financing the war.

Sees No Danger to Nation
In So Called "Uneducated" Laborers.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Sc Mrs. Roosevelt believes that the
uneducated laborers of the Nation are a
threat ito democracy?
Well, may I say this, here in my little
community there are many uneducated
laborers, some of whom cannot read or
write, but never as yet have I heard
one of those laborers proclaiming the
necessity for new order" The only
proclamations of that kind / ever hear
are those that come from the super
educated political theorists.
The laborers I refer to still believe in
the simple fundamentals of life. They
sometimes complain about the injustices
of their fellow men, l will admit, but
never do they attribute those injustices
to the inadequacy of democracy as a
way Of life.
To my way of thinking, the greatest
threat to democracy today is not the
uneducated laborers of the Nation, but
rather those individuals who are con-
stantly confusing the populace with q
lot Of phoney theories of easy roads to
Utopia. J.J. SPERRY.

Doubly welcome, then, is the pub
lication Of factual account of the
enterprise. Both for the performance
itself and for an engaging exposi-
ton OF how it was accomplished, DR..
Adams attractively printed PAM
phlet deserves commendation. The
library, he explains, had to start
from absolute zero, for not only did
it possess no staff and no plan of
operation, but its collections had
never been classified or even brought
together in one place" During more
than forty-five years, Mr.. Folger
was industriously assembling ma
terial. 1t was his custom to
keep in his home large specially
made wooden boxes, to pack in those
boxes the books, manuscripts, prints,
playbills. objects of art and miscel-
laneous items as soon as purchased,
and to deposit them in fireproof
warehouses in Brooklyn and Man.

accumulated more than two thou
sand boxes filled with wholly un-
classified printed and manuscript
material, and hundreds of other
boxes containing oil paintings, statu-
ary, early musical instruments,
Elizabethan furniture and similar
items of museum interest" It had
been his intention, naturally, to
supervise the unpacking, arrange
ment and display of his treasures
himself when at last he should have
retired from business and have
leisure for such congenial employ
ment. Instead, quite suddenly, two
weeks after the laying of the library
cornerstone in 1880 he died.
Mrs. Folger and the staff which she
brought together for the purpose
completed the building and furnished
it. "The first shipment of boxes
from the warehouses reached Wash
ington in October, 1881, the last in
March, 1882" DR.. Adams tells how
the unpacking occupied the next
nine months. But the mere opening
of the boxes was a minor operation.
The director says: "At once numer-
Gus tasks of pressing nature re-
quired attention"
OF course, all concerned gloried in
the opportunities to which they were
admitted. DR.. Adams testifieS to his
love and that of his colleagues for

what Mr.. Folger wished, and they are
