Sterlingl recently elected from

brother, circumspect and unemo-
tional loves Paula, is the kind of
character who would sign his love

brssh and impulsiye Mr.. Gable dis
agrees with his appeasement editor
on war policy and, in one of those
newspaper scenes of pure Hollywood
fantasy, chokes him into banner
lines of greater realism.
Scenes In Indo- China.
When Paula Lane discovers that
her allure campaign has failed, she
accepts the Chronicles invitation to
go to Indo-China. There she be-
comes lost, and the brothers Davis
are sent to find her and fresh head
lines. In Hanoi, Manila and the
Bataan peninsula the conflict be-
tween the brothers and the adored
one continues. There the younger
brother falls in hand-to-h hand fight
ing with the brown men of Toxic.

of her heart,
The scenario is of the snappiest
kind, full of words that have a
double significance, evidently passed
while the Hays Office was nodding.

of the Philippines fighting after all

Gable Is Sincere.
The Gable Turner fable exploits
the charms of it's twin-stars in a
manner which will appeal to their
nationwide constituency. AS in
'Honky- Tonk" Lana Turner finds
herself almost beyond the point of
self discipline whenever her hero
is present, The heck with maiden
ly modesty," she remarks after a
curt brush-off, confidence is what
girl needs" Gable plays the hard
to-get pursued with great sincerity.
thus lending a greater degree of
conviction to the synthetic fiction
than its substance warrants. Miss
Turner has been described as the
1912 reincarnation of the Platinum
Bombshell recalled as Jean Harlow.
The script makes no great demands
upon her potential talents, other
than that conjured by the body

NAZI SHIP:
Trapped in Pacific

In a double-edged announcement
from Allied headquarters in Austria
liza came word that two destroyers
attempting to reinforce japanese
units at Buna were believed sunk by
Allied bombers, while far to the west
an 8,OO0-ton German auxiliary ship
was trapped and 7S Germans cap
tured.
The announcement was the first
mention of Nazi shipping in this
area for months.
The communique reported that in
the action at Buna, heavy bombers
attacked an enemy naval force of
four destroyers trying to bring in
reinforcements. Two destroyers
were blasted with 500-pound bombs.
"Both were set afire and are be-

Tops In Financing

When President Roosevelt launched
the nine billion dollar Victory
Loan" drive by purchasing 81 900
bond from Secretary of Treasury
Henry Morgenthau he set in motion
the greatest financing program in
all history.
This money is needed by the gov
ernment to meet obligations STEM
ming from the war effort and the
President urged that everyone turn
his idle money into lighting dol
lars" by buying some of these
bonds. Pointing out that while over
% million Americans were already
buying war bonds through payroll
deduction plans, there still were
many who could get in on this new
est plan of building up government
income.
While the new borrowing cam
paign is being handled largely by
the nations banks, all wage earn
ers and corporations are being urged
to buy these latest securities of all
types. Beginning at $500 the bonds
are available to all investors and it
is hoped that half the amount need

RUSSIA:
An AnstUer

On the cold steppes before Stain
grad and in the blustery valleys of
the Caucasus, the Russian armies
gave an answer to question that
military experts had been asking
ever since Hitler's troops had driven
deep into Soviet territory. 1t was
the question: HAS Hitler destroyed
the Russian army?" And the an
swer was an emphatic "No."
This years Russian winter often
sive began first in Stalingrad itself,
where the Germans had been fought
to a standstill. Then it spread
quickly as Soviet forces struck
simultaneously from the north and
south knitting through Nazi defenses
on both fanks and thrusting spear
heads far across the Don river.
Three hundred thousand German
troops were thus encircled. These
were the bulk of the enemy detach-
ments laying siege to Stalingrad. AS
the first week of the offensive ended,
Russian reports credited their army
with taking toll of $50, 900 Axis sol
diers killed, wounded or captured.
Also in the Caucasus to the south
and around Leningrad in the north
the Russian might began to tell.
Even Berlin admitted that the Rus
slams were "counterattacking."
But the biggest threat to Nazi
prestige was the Russian campaign
in the Rzhev-Veliki Luki area west
of Moscow. Here strong action
pushed toward the Latvian border
and threatened to cut Hitler's north
ern and southern fighting flanks.
What puzzled the experts was how
Stain had been able to conserve Sc
much of his power while the Ger
mans had been pounding him hard
all summer. Most vital question
now was whether or not the strong
Russian offensive could maintain its
momentum long enough to drive the
Germans back.

TRAGEDY:
Strikes Boston

Not since the 1903 Iroquois theater
fire in Chicago had so many people
been burned or suffocated to death
as perished in the disaster which
struck the Cocoanut Grove night
club that Saturday night in Boston.
An incomplete toll by the police first
set the number of dead at ATT with
the belief that it might rise above
500. At the time this count was made
212 persons were receiving hospital
treatment for their burns and IN
juries.
AS hysterical parents and friends
were engaged in the difficult task OF
identifying the bodies of those killed,
Stanley Tomaszewski, a 16-year-old
high school boy and part-time en-
ployee of the club, told his story OF
how the blaze began. He said that
after a patron had unscrewed light
bulb he attempted to replace 1t and
when he lighted a match to see bet
ter. the flame ignited some OF the
decorations. Swiftly the flames
spread and the $50 patrons rushed
frantically for the exits. Many were
killed as they were trampled be-
meath rioting hundreds seeking es-
cape. Only about 100 of the total
$50 in the building escaped unhurt.
Many of the persons killed were
servicemen and football fans cele.
brating college victories of that aft,
ernoon. Buck Jones, well-knowr
western star of the movies, was
among the persons who had packed
the smart club.
AS all available medical help was
rushed to the scene, the Red Cross
released supplies of blood plasms
which was used in extreme cases
in efforts to keep the death toll
down.

AIR STRENGTH:
asia Evidence

Heavy United Nations air raids
were raining destruction on Jap
bases and supply centers in Burma,
Thailand and Indo-China as the
growing strength of this arm of ac-
tivity against the enemy became in
-creasingly evident.
This most recent surge Of air
strength began with terrific pound
ing of Jap railway yards at Manda-
lay and reached it's apex when a
u. S. group of bombers and fighters
shot down at least % planes in one
day during operations against the
great Pearl river base in China.
In that raid tons of explosives
were dropped on the Pearl river
estuary, sinking two medium sized
freighters and upwards of 100 barges
In addition many docks and ware,
houses were set ablaze.

TUNISIA:
Allied Wedge

Axis forces in Tunisia stood with
their backs to the sea as Lieut.. zen.
K. A. N. Anderson's British nrst
army thrust a wedge between en-
envy strongholds in Tunisla by cap
turing the town of Djedeida, wnlch
controls road and rail communlca-
tions between Tunis and the Blzerte
naval base
Thus by severing communications
between Tunis and Bizerte, the Al
lies virtually had isolated the AXIS
positions, leaving only a coastai
road open.
The German-controlled Paris ra-
dio said that fighting was taxing
place in the Mateur region ana IN
dicated that the British are prepar-
ing for a general offensive by de-
ploying forces in that sector.
Axis forces, fell back, following
futile counterattacks, within the
semicircular defense line around
Tunis and Bizerte. According to the
Morocco radio, Allied paratroopers
attacked Axis positions near MateuI
and other Allied forces stabbed at the
defenders of Tunis.
Defeat of the Axis in Tunlsls

WARMING:
To Italians

In a world broadcast on the eve
of his 68th birthday, Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill proclaimed
that American and British forces in
North Africa expected to "expel the
enemy before long" and warned the
10000, 900 people of Italy to over
throw their dictator and sue for
peace.
After the conclusion of the Medi-
terranean campaign, Churchill said,
Africa will serve the purpose for
which Lieut.. Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover is preparing it-as a spring
board from which large scale op-
erations on the continent of Europe
can be undertaken.
The route for this attack, he in
dicated, lay through Italy. "Our op-
erations in French Africa should en-
able US to bring the weight of the
war home to the Italian Fascist
state in a manner not hitherto
dreamed of by its guilty leaders, or
still less, by the unfortunate people
Mussolini has led, exploited and dis
graced."
Although the Churchill talk was
optimistic, he warned that the war
is likely to be a long one and that
bloody and bitter years lie ahead.
He refused to predict whether the
war in Europe will be over before
that in the Pacific, but said that if
such was the case all fighting forces
of the United Nations would auto
matically come to the aid of the
United States, China and Britain's
own kin in Australia and New Zea-
| land.

Turin Smashed

In the heaviest raid of the war on
Italy, hundreds of British bombers
smashed the city of Turin with four
ton bombs, probably knocking it out
of the Italian war effort.
AS if foreshadowing Prime Min
lister Churchills warning to the
Italian people, the bombing destroyed
great areas of the city. The super
block-busters and fire from 100000
incendiaries pulverized huge sections
of the city. Turin is Italy's biggest
industrial city, the home of the Fiat
engine works, the Caproni bomber
planes and many other important fac
tories.
