change in name fool you. From the
comedian, huge House, through the
Oxford boys and Ben Dova. the
amiable drunk, the acts are the
same ones that were in -"Hellzetc."
In demonstrating that building
airplanes also has its dramatic as
poets, wings for the Eagle" is a
pleasant enough blending of humor
and pathos without a pretentlon
that the plot of the story is a Won
derful thing.

man (Morgan who, prior to Decem-
ber 7, thinks selective service Is
something that applies to dull
witted young men who are not smart
enough to escape it. A happy GO
lucky fellow, he decides to beat its
call by getting himself an essential
Job in an aircraft plant.
The plant, no make-believe affair
tossed off by the prop department
but the real Lockheed thing, gives
work and shelter to some people
whose lives have ways of being in
teresting in a movie script.
There are, for instance, the Ma
pies, young married couple, who
are easily recognizable as Miss Sher-
idan and Jack Carson. The Naples
are not getting along very we'll, she
having to work in the aircraft fac
tory because he, the dope, Is an ex-
All-American who thinks heroes

eventual life work. Then there is
Corky (Morgan) the admitted draft
QUICKER, who makes life no easier
for the Naples by stepping into it
and adding new emotional tremors
to those already produced by the
economic situation. 1t is rather
conventional triangle, of course, but

volving factory workers instead OF
cafe society it has fresh sort OF
flavor.

Widespread fraud in applications
for export licenses to circumvent the
policy of blacklisting foreign firms
which do business with the Axis Is
, being detected almost daily, Board
Of Economic Warfare officials said
today.
Some of the attempted frauds are
clumsy and are caught Immediately.
For example, a drugstore in South
America evidently screening Nazi
firm ordered $50 tons Of steel
! I-beams. Another drugstore applied
for license for a big shipment Of
tinplate.
Oficials of the board reported that
the blacklist had been so effective In
keeping American goods out Of
: enemy hands that foreign concerns
or individuals acting for enemy
powers were now using dummy
names or misusing the names OF
T non -blacklisted firms in applying Tor
American export licenses.
: Shipments to Mexico Blocked.
The Export Control Division, larg-
est unit Of the B. E. W., recently
blocked a large shipment OF quin1ne
/ to Mexico. The application was filed
4 In the name of the Mexican govern
ment and its validity was suspected
because of the size of the order and
Z the fact that Mexico had not been
accustomed to buying quinine here.
A line of trucks loaded with small
packages of drugs and chemicals for
retail stores in Mexico was halted at
( the border when it was discovered
no such stores had ordered the goods.

The United States to date has for

Switzerland and Turkey because of

5000 Applicants Daily.
With virtually every exportable
item under rigid control. the Export
License Division of B. E. w. is now
handling 5000 license applications
daily. An average of three days
is required to clear each one.
The applications have increased
more than f1vefold since January
because of the requirement that each
shipment be licensed. Before Janu-
ary exporters could get a general
license covering all their shipments
for a year.
So thorough is the control system
that In some cases even licensed
shipments are traced at the other
end to make sure they do not leak
into enemy territory. This is true
of some exports to Spain.
Another control feature with re-
spect to Spain is that the United
States will not allow certain goods
to go there in excess of SPAIN S
known domestic needs of those
goods. Licenses for such shipments
are held up until Spain's supply
of those things are about exhausted

am authorized by Secretary Knox to
state for the first time that as of
this date, and for some time past,

Calls for Unity.

there is not now within this coun-

Adolf Hitler is Fastening to ex-
tend his system Of slave labor
throughout subjugated Europe" the
once of Facts and Figures said,
yesterday.
"Nazi propasandists," the o. r. r.
said, ARE boasting of the pace at
tanned in putting millions of once
free men and women under the yoke
Of labor in the Reich
The ONCE based its conclusions
on foreign broadcasts picked up by
the listening posts of the Federal
Communications Commission.
"A Berlin broadcast boaSted re-
Gently that Germany will increase
the number of foreign workers in
the Reich to more than 1000, ,0o0," o.
F. r. said.
Will Meet Farm Needs.
Reichs Marshal Goering told Ger
man farmers that "the crushing
need, the pressing need, for neces-
sary labor forces for agriculture will
be met by the application of usable
auxiliary laborers from occupied
eastern territories, and by the use
OF foreigners and prisoners of war. "
The Berlin radio, the o. F. r.
said, reported that -four special
trains leave weekly with French VOL
unteers to Germany" and that $780,
900 such workers now were in Ger
many.
This" the o. F. F. quoted Berlin
as saying, "Is another proof of the
fact that France is taking an active
part in the construction OF the Eu-
rope"
Mussolini-The o. F. r. said he
was once the bellicose. but now the
plant, partner of Hitler"-is send
ing man power, as we'll as food to
Germany. In 1941, according to a
Berlin broadcast, Italy sent SOC. 900
workers to Germany, 8 per cent of
them women, and Berlin predicted
the number would be increased to
400 900 soon.
Many Nationalities Involved.
- The German-c controlled Polish ra-
dio reported 100000 Poles were
> working in Germany, including pris-
oners of war. Two hundred and fifty
thousand Polish women are in Ger
many, and Latvia, liberated" from
Russia, is sending girls Is to Is
years old to work as farm and in
dustrial hands in Northern Ger
manv, the o. F. F. said.
THE German labor front will care
for the girls by controlling their
working conditions and organizing
their leisure time" the Berlin radio
said of the Latvian girls.
The office said Belgium had ESQ.,
900 in Germany in February with
other Belgians going to France for
farm work. Holland, 1t said. had
supplied 100000 workers. Lithuan-
ians and Esthonians also were re-
ported working in the Reich, but
their numbers we're not given.
Immigrants from Poland and the
Balkans who came to France be-
fore the war are being conscripted
by the Nazis for labor in Germany"

Two well-known M o u n t

safe at their homes today after
being marooned overnight on

ashore by huge waves.

wife, Margaret, 30. Dubay is
the youngest son of City Com
missioner Edward j. Dubay.
Dubay, owner of the boat,
said he decided to spend the
night on the island rather than
attempt the four-mile trip to
the mouth of the Clinton River.
The carburetor was acting up,
and / was afraid we could not
make it through six-foot waves"
he said.
With three marooned duck
hunters whose names they did
not obtain, the four abandoned
a tent they found on the island
in favor of the fire. 1T was too
cold in the tent" Socia ex-
planned.
Despite chilly winds that kept
all from sleeping, none of the
victims were any the worse for
their experience. Dubay piloted
his boat across quartermile
wide cut to shore where the
Coast Guard picked up the two
couples and the duck hunters.
The seven reached Larry's
Boat Works at 11:30 a. m, more
than 19 hours after they were
forced onto the island.
