 The whispering that went on against the British Is now being directed against the French ,, , Maybe it's wrong Co keep Darlan ou the job, but Gen Eisenhower got that far by ignoring the olamoT clique, 50 why should he listen to them now2 You can get a rap against 6iraUd, too, u you turn your ear in a certain direction , De- Gaulle has aN enemy section over here, and so have most Of the French the French military leaders our forces are dealing with =, It's the same old line you heard against Churchill, Wavcl, RitcAie, etc, Soull hear it again it we happen 10 line up with the Arabs or the Hotten~ tots, Because Q'S easier to say something than to know something,
 Nobody has lined up more eagerly for the war causes than the Holly wood workers , They have con- tributed their time and their talents to amusing the service men and building up bond sales, The spirit out there is right too ,, Then they tip over the works by making 8 flicker that gives people the idea that it's StiN 1928 in California, The latest to get tho hammers is once Upon a Honeymoon" several ot the N. Y, reviewers were shocked that a picture could take ruined Warsaw as the setting for piece of low comedy, This Is the third flicker that has earned reou&eS for the movie makers, They will soon have to start reading the New York reviews with smoked glasses, They're too blinding for the naked eye.

 Brooks Atkinson gave tender column to George M. Conan. Best of ali was his discussion of over Thera,n which was the theme song of the last war. Mir. Atkinson tells you why. "Although Over There has the strangest and most unlikely tune" said MT. A, it is one of the song almost any American can sing lon the spur of the moment, Il is Q perfect expression of @ popular emo- tion" What more could you ask of a war song? So far there have been good ditties for the Serv- ice branches-Air Corps Marines etc.-but nothing for the civilian: to get hot about .. MT. Conan knew how to stir up people. He might have have spun out another "Ovel There. For that reason, and tot many others, he died too soon.
