Preston and Martha O'Driscoll in
the leading roles.

sWift-moving saga Of great
American city in the throcs of
an air raid alert and total
blackout was rushed through It's
finishing stages and headed for
theatre screens throughout the
country as the first picture to
deal with the all-important
theme Of Civilian Defense.
Pacific Blackout' is any
thing but an educational" pic
ture, although there's an abund-
ancc of that in its minutes Of
intensely thrilling action. The
blackout, the screaming air raid
sirens, roaring bombers and the
clatter of anti-aircraft guns,
while not exactly incidental to
the film, really serve as back
ground for an exciting romance.
Frankly described by Para
mount as a comedy thriller, this
suspense-filled and laugh-laden
film is one continuous chase
from beginning TO end. Laugh
piles on laugh, and chill follows
thrill, as the new romantic
team Of Preston and Miss

tingling series Of adventures in
the midst of the mock air raid

is a bedlam Of roaring airplane

bine their efforts In favor Of peace,
pleaded the bishops.
The letter also contained a gen-
eral outline OF the suggested peace
which the German bishops consider
fair for both camps" This included
the possible evacuation of Western
Europe, except Alsace and Lorraine.
and the return of GERMANY to its
1914 eastern frontiers. Austria. IL
was suggested, should be granted
complete autonomy within the
Reich, while Czecho- -Slovakia would
be reconstructed and Poland re-
stored within new "ethnographical
frontiers" The bishops also de-
clared themselves partisans Of a
Danubian federation, with rights of
religious minorities effectively guar
anteed.
An informant described the Vati-
can reception of this request as
extremely reserved" the Pope not
believing the time yet ripe for such
a definite initiative. Some Catho-
lie observers. however, discard the
idea that the German bishops ap-
peal may influence the contents of
the peace encyclical that the Pope
is said to be preparing with the
greatest secrecy. This encyclical,
according to recent reports, is likely
to appear at the end of August or
the beginning of September.

Dog Sought for Tests
After Boy Is Bitten

A 10-year-old boy, bitten yester-
day by neighbor's dog which later
disappeared, appealed to the public
today to help find 1t so the District
Health Department can make sure
that 1t was not suffering from rabies.
The biting victim, Larry Horner,
of 3240 Nineteenth street NV, was
told by his physician that the scottie
which attacked him should be kept
under Health Department observa-
ton for 10 days to determine wheth-
er 1t was necessary for him to take
the Pasteur treatment for rabies.
Since the dog itself had been in
occulated against rabies, there was
believed to be little danger that it
was infected-but Larry would like
to make sure.
The dog, a rusty black scottie
called Nippy, is missing from the
home of its owner, Mrs. Aurelius
G. Battaglia, 2037 Park road NV
1t disappeared in company with Mrs
Battaglia's other scottie, a silky

rabies and the other the regular dog

Britain Emphasizes
Domestic Output in
New Food Rationinq
Nation Foces Prospect
Of Tightening Belt
And Simplifying Diet
BY DAVID M. NICHOL.

foreign Correspondent OF The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, July 28-Britain has
entered a new rationing period, as
of yesterday, with the prospect OF
steadily Tightening its belt and
simplifying it's diet in the race with
shipping space and the drive for
increased domestic production.
All things considered, however,
Britains food position continues to
be better than might have been ex-
pected at the end of three years OF
war. This country certainly is bet
ter off than almost any place In
continental Europe
The Food Ministry currently Is
campaigning for the use, as far as
possible, of supplies produced domes-
tically. This means the disappear
ance Of fancy vegetables, timed
foods and some varieties, of fish.
Many of these commodities are al
ready controlled through a system
of points" and the list is likely to
be extended. Sirup and molasses
were added yesterday, for example
Basic Foods Undiminished.
Basic foods such as bread, meat
and potatoes remain undiminiShed
although the ministry is stressing
the need for conserving bread. point
ing out that half the cargo space OF
ships carrying food to Britain is
required for cereals, despite Eng
lands rapidly increasing local pro-
duction. Experts refuse any COM
ment on reports that potato or rye
-four may be added to the bread
mixture. They do say. however, that
there is no possibility Of the intro
duction, as in the last war, of a
scheme of selling bread only after
it is "a hours old.
The meat ration is still the
amount purchasable for approx.
imately Is cents, supplemented by
four ounces Of bacon or ham. Good
pasturage this year and improved
methods of handling distribution
make for continuance of these
items The cheese ration, recently
doubled, is now half a pound weekly
but experts stress that this is only
temporary.
Potatoes are virtually gone on the
market, but prices remain at pre-
war levels by virtue of subsidy. The
selection of other vegetables Is
likely to be much reduced, however
New zoning regulations, effective in
October, will keep supplies near
their place of origin while farmers
will be urged to concentrate on the
cultivation of cabbages, brussels
sprouts and similar crops at the ex-
pense of fancier items.
Milk Rationing Due Again.
Milk is likely soon to be rationed
again after the summer increase
The lowest level reached last win
ter, a quart weekly, may be even
lower this year. Some experts sug-
gest that fresh milk may be lin
tied to children and invalids, al
though this is not officially con-
flrmed. Fresh eggs are expected to
disappear and be entirely replaced
by egg powder from the United
States.
The sugar ration continues to be
nall a pound weekly and is now ex-
ciusively produced from beets grown
Evening star., 1942-07-28

in England. A half-pound bonus
also is permitted to housewives this
and next week for canning fruits
and making jam from plums now
appearing on the markets.
Coffee is still unrationed as a re-
suit of English emphasis on tea,
which is obtainable in amounts of
two ounce sweekly, and there are
no indications Of reduction in the
immediate future.
The end of gift packages from
the United States means the fur
ther disappearance of numerous
little luxury items which made the
plain diet more tasty.
