Labor Management Committees
organized under the War Produc-
ton Drive.
In the 100 plants throughout
the nation in which war produc-
ton drives have been organized,
voluntary Labor Management COM
mittees are working to increase
American production within the
pattern of the plan suggested by
Production Drive Headquarters.
This plan includes the recognition
of individual merit by Labor-Man-
agement committees and by WPB
itself, the establishment of mach
inery for putting workers sugges-
tons into operation, the organiza-
ton of slogan contests, and the
establishment of other means of
increasing production.
The new Labor Management

u. S. Warship Will Be
Named After Seattle
Hero of December 7

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz,
commander-in-chief of the United
States Pacific Fleet. recently sent
word to Mrs. Clarence Melvin
Formoe, an employee in the bust
ness department at Boeing's, that
a United States Warship now I'M
der construction at the Bethlehem
Steel Company plant at bingham,
Mass, will be named after her
husband, Clarence Melvin Forme,
who was killed in action on De-
cember Z.
The late Clarence Melvin For
moe is one of the first of the pres
ent second World War heroes to
be honored in this manner. Ad-
miral Nimitz gave him credit for
prompt and efficient action and
utter disregard of personal danger
in the effort to repel the attack
on the Naval Air Station, Kaneoke
Bay, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, by
the japanese forces on December
Z, 1941."
Previous to his enlistment, For
moe had served as engineering de-
partment photographer at Boe-
ing's for twelve years, and before
entering active duty was in the
Naval Reserve.

But it's comforting to know
that we have had to act on only

War Chest VIII Help
Men In War Prisons

There are workmen of a score
of unions in war prison camps to-
day. And boys, perhaps from next
door, and men of every trade who
went into the service and on to
the bitter despair of capture -
and barbed wire -.
For them a mighty movement is
under way which will be included
in the War Chest this fall: War
Prisoners Aid Fund of the Worlds
Alliance of Y.MC.A.'s. Under the
terms of the Geneva Convention
for treatment of prisoners of war,
signed by the belligerent nations,
both the Axis and the United
Nations requested the World Ali
ance of the Y. M. c. A. to provide
recreational, educational, cultural
and religious activities for these
men.
That work is going forward.
Help is reaching into the war pris-
on camps, penetrating the barbed
wire, according to word received
this week at War Chest headquar-
tiers, POI Rialto Bldg, Seattle.

THERE STANDS A MAN

William S. Knudsen might have
been very much disappointed when
Donald Nelson got the big Job Of d.
rectne production. Knudsen's co-od-
ministrotion Of OPM has been criti-
cised; sly remarks have been made
about his sudden attaining Of the rank
Of electromagnetic. His task with
OPM wos never easy, with q great deoI
to give and little to get.
But if his words have been correct
ly reported, Knudsen has something
that they cont toke away from him,
something thot 100000 other
Americans ought to have. According
to this report, when friends suggested
thot he quit when Nelson got the big
job, knudsen sold:
"III do whatever my President
wants me to do. II he told me to toke
gun and walk guard in front Of this
building, I'd do it,"
There, for all Of us to see and TO
emuIote, stands man!

In SoroWok Invasion

JAPANESE occupation OF Sara

operations against the Netherlands
indies but little in actual terri
torial or economic value.
The stamp above, issued in 1918,
bears a portrait of Sir Charles
Vyner Brooke, rajah, Of the terri
tory since 1917.
In 1910, Rajah Muda Hassim,
uncle and heir presumptive of the
Sultan OF Brunei, of which Sara
wax was formerly part, pre-
vailed upon James Brooke, an
English officer, to aid in suppress
ing q native rebellion. In return
for his help, the sultan coded Sara
wax to Brooke, who became rajah
the following year.
The British government recog-
nized Sarawak as an independent
state in 1863 and in 1888 concluded
q treaty which made the state a
protectorate, although internal af-
fairs were solely in the hands Of
Brooke and his administrative
aides. Sir James was succeeded by
his nephew, Sir Charles johnson

Charles vyner Brooke. present

soldiers not to know precisely whittier

This is another war; strange,

Of the sending Of troops to Ireland

take that heart trick when hey
offered it to you, LOUISE" And
he replied, Beware of the

Here is the hand. The first

then led clubs. forcing out the
ace on the third round, on which
East discarded the deuce of
spades.
In response to this slight indi-
cation, West shifted to the eight

ton, Louis played the jack from
dummy, East cieverly played the
queen and, after further thought,
Louis let him old the trick.
East led . low heart in the
hope that South had q doubleton
and West three hearts, but the
lead was won by dummy's ten.

led the queen Of spades, let 1t

Had he taken the first heart,
he could not have cashed nine
tricks before letting West in with
the king Of spades, whereupon
another heart lead through dunn

bors, divided at home by back
stabbing politicians, Poland lies
smashed today as never before.
It's future depends on an allied
victory, and victory 1t must be
for nation with so many great

The first full-scale effort to
explain that much-partitioned
country to America In the
lives of its heroes comes In
"Great Men and Women Of
Poland Macmillan: $4), edit
ed by Stephen p. Mizwa, execu-
tive director of the Kosciuszko
Foundation in the United States.
Brief, interesting and unhys-
terical biographies Of 80 dis
tinguished Poles make this
valuable volume the book for
Americans who want to know
more about Poland than the
fact that Paderewski was a
great pianist from that neck Of
the woods.
Dear to Polish people Is Jad-
wiga, known as "Poland's Great
Queen" Her life lasted only
from 1873 to 1899, but she
united her kingdom, made
friends with and converted to
Christianity the then mighty
Lithuanian nation. and curtail-
ed the power of the Teutonic
knights, the medieval version
of Goering's cut-throats. Posi-
bly, this was because she was
crowned king instead Of queen
because her mother forgot to
send the queens crown to the
coronation.
Americans will read with in
terest the account Of Casimir
Pulaski, "father of American
cavalry" and his daring drive
to push the invading Russians
from his country. Exiled for his
troubles, he lay In a French
debtors prison until Benjamin
Franklin sent him to help
Washington. Pulaski command
ed the first American cavalry
forces, and died from wounds
received in an attempt to take
Savannah from the British.
Lives of many Poles unknown
to most Americans are told
here, but most readers will es-
pecially enjoy the biographies
of Copernicus, Chopin, Helena
Modjeska, Henryk Sienkiewicz,
Joseph Conrad, Paderewski,
Madame Curie and Marshal Pill

fans must enjoy them, because
most such pictures make q lot
of money. Fact is changes are
necessary to the success of re-
makes.
Some Of these observations
have come from Producer-Di-

He first made Survey of the
kinds of pictures which were
most popular during World War

1.-THE Virginian" is one of the
very few favorites which won't
need much revision, Murphy
says. The dialog will be polish

will be costly one in Teclni-
color.

press agents accompanying the

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 29-Just
as it's a good idea to keep audi
ences guessing about the out
come of a screen story, so may
it be smart showmanship to be-
gin fooling them as soon as
they get settled in their seats.
At any rate, Hollywood's do
ing it. The last time you were
attracted to a theater by some
well-known and memory-reviv-
ing title, chances are you found
the movie not only unlike the
original book or play but great
ly changed from the previous
screen version. Metros recent
Chocolate Soldier" for in
stance, actually contained the
story of 1.-THE Guardsman," and
the melange really should have
been called Her Chocolate
Guardsman."
On the other hand, an awful
lot of screen originals" are
new only in their titles. Season
after season, the Warner lot has
remade the same gangster plots,
2Oth-Fox has filmed essentially
the same musicals, and Univer-
sal has dished up the same hor-
ror yarns. Once a year for the
duration of my memory, Para
mount has been reviving "The
Charm School" under various
guises and usually with the
word college" in the titles.
MONEY MAKERS
Studios may blush bit when
caught hanging new tags ON
old merchandise, but they have
a convincing defense for the re-

cade of favorite yarns bearing
many new twists but familiar
