Elliott Nugent is something of a
genius. When we first heard he

site Hepburn. we did a double

about, Are they kiddin'

He has naturalness,. a genuine
and direct kind of delivery and a
casual charm that's most per-
suaSive.
A PERFECT PAIR
But the particular thing here
Is that he's such an excellent foil
for Hepburn. Their work together
dovetails like design in a
parquet floor.
And the rest OF the cast is a
match for them. Audrey Christie
as the worldly wise secretary is
tops. Her brittle way and her fine
timing add much 10 her lines,
which are very sharp.
EXCELLENT CAST
Robert Chisholm as the English
baronet and Neil Fitzgerald as the
undiplomatic Irish diplomat are
splendid. Tony Buckley and Sher-
ling Oliver are another fine pair.
In fact, we couldn't find flaw
in any OF the characterizations
which make this a thoroughly
compelling evening in the theater.

SYDNEY, Australia, April T.

Army Minister Francis M. Forde

The statement told the story OF
three Australian servicemen who
said they were the only survivors
of one group Of 10 officers and men
who were trapped on New Britain
after the fall of Rabaul.
The others, with their hands tied
behind their backs, were shot or
bayonetted to death after they we're
captured by landing party from a
Japanese destroyer, the statement
said.
Leaflets scattered from Japanese
planes had warned that any who
did not surrender would be killed.
Each captured Australian officer
was handed a revolver and one bull
let and was ordered to commit sui
eide, the statement said.
One of the men who escaped
played dead when a Japanese officer
went among the fallen bodies to
finish on the wounded.
The three survivors said they wan
dered, bleeding from their wounds
and numb from the horrors they
had seen, for several days with their
hands bound behind them before
they were rescued. (How they es-
capped was unexplainedD

Submarine Attacks
Reduced DrasticaIIy,
Knox Announces
Attributes SIockenine
To New Patrol Methods
OFF Atlantic Coast

Secretary of the Navy Knox
said today the combined efforts
of several types of coastal patrol
had cut attacks by Axis subma-
rines on merchant shipping
drastically during the last week.
The Secretary told a press confer
ence that he believes only one
tanker had been sunk along the
route laid out by the Navy during
the week He added that the Navy
now is getting cooperation from
merchant captains in holding to
the courses outlined by the Navy
and also in going into ports at night
when possible.
New Boats Being Delivered.
The Secretary. who once declared
merchantmen were not co-operat-
ing, said today that German sub
marine activity comes and goes in
waves" Thus the severe cut in
number OF attacks during the last
week may be partly due to the fact
that there Is now a downward wave,
he said.
But he pointed out that the At
lantic frontier patrol under Rear
Admiral Adolphus Andrews was
making a very aggressive cam
paign" to build up many types Of
protection along the Atlantic coast.
Aid from the Army Air Corps has
helped greatly since 1t was added to
the Andrews command and works
as part Of the frontier patrol, he
said. Col. Knox also paid tribute
to dirigibles, which he termed val
liable in the general scheme of pro-
lection.
In addition to the dirigibles which
are being delivered from the fac
tory, Secretary Knox said deliveries
of coastal patrol boats also are COM
ing in and that the Navy soon will
have 200 of the 110-foot type, $50
of the 173-foot boats and $50 of
180-foot patrol craft to use in guard
ing the shipping lanes.
Secretary Knox also olscloseo at
his press conference that the Gov
eminent has under very careful
study" the problem of operating the
American merchant marine, "espe-
cially those ships on long voyages" ="
Problem Still Unsolved.
He said there had been some Diff
culties in manning ships, but "how
the problem will be solved we have
not decided"
He gave this explanation of the
merchant marine situation at pres
ent when asked whether the Navy
was considering taking over the
merchant ships and operating them
with naval crews. He declared that
would be one way to tackle the prob
lem, but 1t was by no means certain
that that would be done.
The Navy announced IA subma-
rine attacks in the Western Atlantic
and adjacent waters last week.
Naval officials said, however, that
only two of those, one tanker and
tug with barges, actually had been
attacked along the coast during last
week. The other attacks occurred
either prior to March % or else were
in the Caribbean area which Secre-
tary Knox's statement did not cover.
