 HEATHER'S CHAMP
 A 165-pound Great Dane, named Champ, is working with Heather Angel in '"The Undying Monster" at 20th-Fox, and there's a scene in which the dog rears up to plant his paws on the actress's shoulders and to lick her face.
 But Champ lowered over her when they tried it, so the shot fl- nally was made with the diminutive Miss Angel standing on an 1s-inch box, which of course didn't show. She said, I've been put on boxes for clinch scenes with leading men, but I never thought I'd have to climb up to be kissed by a dog"

Hollywood. heard about the effort required to keep traf1c moving in and out of China's capi- tai, but you ought to see the crew involved in staging brief bus trip to connect with "The Night Plane From Chungking."
 It's all done on a Paramount sound stage, and the vehicle has no engine, wheels or roof. Most of the right side has been removed, too, so that the camera can peer in at an odd assortment of passengers, including Free French of1cer, Q travelling salesman, @ priest, an American girl and a Russian woman.
 Special effects experts outnumber the actors, however. Two men, one on a stepladder, operate rain jets which splash on the windshield and left front window. (Other windows are covered by blackout curtains0 A third group pulls alternately on two strings which moves the wind- shield wiper. Still another slowly revolves horizontal wheel on which tree branches are mounted. Dimly glimpsed through the win dow, this will give the impression that the bus is lurching ahead.
 A husky workman with a long wooden lever rocks the bus from side to side. Longitudinal bouncing is provided by a fellow lying under meath with a pneumatic jack.
 It certainly is tough job getting out of Chungking these days.

Of an important phrase in the

American breach of relations

The Argentine Foreign Minister

The first change would be to drop

article four to make the resolution
say that consultation be held before

China's air force carried the war

first time today by blasting an
unidentified air base in the jap
anese- occupied French colony,
the official Central News Agency
reported tonight.
There was no mention of the

bombers.
1t was the first attack of any kind
made by the Chinese against French
Indo-C China and some observers re-
garded it as possibly prelude to
land invasion from Chjna's south

The Chinese press has been con-

recently that all Japanese troops

tonight to be operating west of
Borodino, the old Napoleonic
battle field a dozen miles west
of recaptured Mozhaisk, in sting
ing pursuit of Germans trying to
fight their way back out of the
Mozhaisk salient.

Russians have recaptured A

Skimming the countryside over
waist-deep snow, the sledge- riding
Red Army forces were said to be
principally scouts slashing at the
flanks of the German retreat to-
ward Vyazma, which was regarded
as the site of the next German
stand against the Russian central
front offensive.
The Germans were said to be seek
ing cover, also from the bitterest
week Of Russia's winter so far.
These marrying tactics will satisfy
the Russian high command, London
sources said, because it sees the
Strengthening of the receding Ger

and Rzhev as the most pressing
consideration Of the Germans.
The German retreat therefore
would be hasty one, 1t was pointed
out, with or without Soviet effort
to accelerate it.
The Germans have been reported
fortifying the line between Mozhaisk
and WANNA since the start Of the
Russian c6unteroffensive. Observers
here reasoned that the Russians
would rely on their artillery, whose
superior fire and mobility have
been demonstrated at Mozhaisk, to
blast any German strong points.
Mozhaisk is 81 miles west of Mos
COW, Borudino another 10 or II
miles further to the west and vyaz-

Borodino.
