"BUY ME THAT TOWN" and
"NIAGARA FALLS"

Two first run pictures start
Sunday, Jan. a and continue
through Tuesday, Jan. 6 at the
Auditorium theater. Hailed by
preview critics as one of the
years most funny films, and by
all odds the giddiest gangster
yarn to ever hit the screen, the
uproarious romantic comedy,
Buy Me That Town" is real en-
tertainment. The stars are
smooth Lloyd Nolan and lus-
cious Constance Moore. The sec
ond feature is a laugh-packed
riotous story teeming with high
comedy and thrilling romance.
Niagara Falls" stars Marjorie
Woodwork, Tom Brown, Zasu
Pitts, Slim Summerville, Ed Gar

story revolves around the adven-
lures of a pair of attractive but
squabbling youngsters who are
not married, and how they find
themselves alone in the bridal
suite of a hotel.

Chennau|t's 5 Hopes
To Better 12-to-1
Score Disclosed
Col. Cooper, Former Aide
CoIls General Greatest
Aerial Genius of War
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD,


Brig. Gen. Claire L. Chennault's
little China Air Task Force is only"
knocking down Jap planes at ratio
Of IL to l, now, but hopes soon to
better that record, Col. Merriam c.
Cooper of Jacksonville, Fla, back
from the front after serving six
months as chief of staff to the for
mer Flying Tiger, disclosed yester-
day.
Regarding his former chief as the
outstanding genius of aerial war
fare so far developed in this war"
Col. Cooper was almost apologetic
IN speaking of that l2-to-1 score,
which is consistently higher than
that Of any other United Nations
air group.
Were not doing so we'll as for
merly," he said in referring to the
amazing 20-to-l score that the Fly
Ing Tiger dealt the Japs back in the
days OF the American Volunteer
Group.
1--WE haven't got anything like
what 1t takes to win the war in
China" Col. Cooper explained.
However, things are looking up."
Tide Declared Turning.
A "feeting glimpse" of war fronts
from China to North Africa on his
homeward swing around the globe
has convinced this experienced air
fighter and observer that American
air power is on the up and up"
everywhere. The tide is turning in
our favor, he says.
At the same time, Col. Cooper
disclosed, the rapid development of
air transportation may make it pos
sible before long to gain numerical
air superiority in the China the
ater with movements OF supplies by
air alone.
Col. Cooper attributed the 12-to-l
score to Gen. Chennault's great
leadership. HE was formerly re-
garded primarily as a commander of
fighter planes, but he has developed
into an even better bomber COM
mander," Col. Cooper explained.
In the six months Col. Cooper
was with the AVG commander, he
said, Gen. Chennault had thought
out and executed 83 major air bat
ties and never lost one"
World War Flyer.
Col. Cooper was a flyer in the
World War and afterwards he Joined
the Polish Air Force to fight the
Russian revolutionists. Later he
took to writing and exploration in
the Orient and in Africa. Then he
began the adventures of movie
director. He helped to produce the
Aim. King Kong in Hollywood.
But now he's back to flying and
frankly he admits that he likes
the China theater and is anxious
to get back"
A Southerner to the core, although
his home in late years has been
everywhere but his native Florida
and Georgia by adoption" Col.
Cooper takes pride in the fact that
up to short while ago every leader
Of the China force was from the
South. "It was an all-Southern
team" he explained, until recently,

The ordnance experts Of the Army
know just what kind Of stun we are
going up against. For to Aberdeen
come rusty, shell battered enemy
tanks and motorized equipment,
