III A congressional QrlNe 10
speed interstate shipment Of
war supplies gained impetus to-
day as minority leader McCor-
mack made public a complaint
from the Navy Department that
State commerce barriers were
delaying deliveries.
Legislation to Owe rcome
trade barriers" has been pend
ing for some time, and McCor-
mack's office said the majority
leader now would insist on ear
ly action.
CITE CASES
The Nays complaint, citing
specific cases in Maine and
Iowa as we'll as along the Allan
tic coast, was made by Acting
Navy Secretary James Forres
tai in response to a query by
Mccormack.
ForrcStal declared the estab-
lishment of uniform gross
loads for truck engaged in in
terstate travel would be FIR
ward step" and "a real accomp-
lishment in expediting the sue
cesSful prosecution of the war.
He said he hoped the direc-
tor of defense transportation
would establish insofar as
practicable" uniform standards,
weights, dimensions and speeds
of motor vehicles.
DELAYS CITED
Among the delays and diff
culties cited by Forrestal were
these:
Merchant vessels using in
shore channels along the Allan
tic seaboard for protection from
submarines ARE suffering lIn-
necessary delays due TO the n =
cessity of changing and awaiting
pilots when passing from the
waters off the shore of ore
state to the waters off the shore
of another" This is required by
various State Marine laws.
The Iowa Highway Depart
ment on two occasions stopped
trucks carrying rubber hose for
the Navy because the gross loao
exceeded State regulations. The
shipments were held up three
hours and two hours respective
ly. The incidents occurred near
Ogden on April and Missouri

POPULAR BOOK
NOW A CINEMA
Kings Row With Famous
Eight Star Cast Now at
State Theater

One of the most popular novels of
the last few years has been trans
lated into one of the most memo:-
able screen entertainments of any
year and is currently at Warmers
State theater. "Kings Row" the title
of the new offering was adapted
from the novel of the same name
which won wide praise for its au-
thor, Henry Bellamann.
Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings,
Ronald Reagan and Betty Field play
the four starring roles and each has
turned in a perfect performance.
In the featured cast, four of Holly
woods most able character actors,
Charles Coburn, Judith Anderson,
Claude Rains and Maria Ouspens-
'kaya give portrayals so finely etch-
ed that they are well nigh unfor-
gettable. Two comparative newcom-
erS to the screen, Nancy Coleman
and Kaaren Verne show brilliant
promise.
"Kings Row" is town some
where in the Middle West, but it
might be town anywhere in the
world. Its people are real, no bet
ter or no worse than those who
make up the population of any
town or city. But the incisive writ
ing of the novel and the screen
play, and the enlightening perform
ances of the many players give us
deep insight into the undercur-
rents Of love and hate, happiness
and despair that flow beneath the
apparent smooth surfaces Of the
town and its people.
There is Paris Mitchell, played
by Robert Cummings, young, ambi-
tious and clever and the towns
most promising young physician.
