Defendants Declare
They Are Accountable
Only to AIIoh's Will

Two colored men, claiming to be
Moslems, were sentenced in District
Court today on charges Of violating

Lillian Hellman
To Write for GOldWyn

Lillian Hellman has been en-
gagged by Samuel Goldwyn to write
her first story directly for the
screen. The story, as yet untitled,
describes the effects of the current
war on group of Russian children
and the part they play during the
invasion by the Nazis of their home
land.
Miss Hellman, author OF '"The
Little Foxes" "Children's Hour"
Watch on the Rhine" and other
successes. makes this departure
from her usual writing procedure
in order to get the tale Of heroic
young Russians before the world as
quickly as possible. She is aban-
doning her first draft of the story,
which she intended as a play, and
is already at work on the film
script.
Mr.. Goldwyn plans production as
soon as Miss Hellman's work Is
complete. He has already obtained
the necessary visas from the Soviet
government to permit Miss He'll

limited to one harrassed servant

their lives covered by the film.

juicy roles, obviously parts much to
