Rally Attendance A Disappointment

Monday nights Army Day rally under auspices
of the Federal Business Association success IN
every way except from an attendance standpoint.
The Firemen- Legion hall was only about a
third full, despite considerable publicity and
parade of the famous high school marching unit
and army jeeps.
Crowds lined the streets to see the parade but
only few of those folks attended the rallynot more
than 125 people there when, such OCCASION
the hall should have been packed
There is too much lethargy here toward the war,
too many people who should be among leaders in
civilian Defense taking the attitude of et George do
it."
One of these days when Jap bombs fall in this
country maybe the people will become aroused
but let's not wait for bombs. In all patriotic
rallies from on be sure to attend and see that
your neighbors do likewise.

Situation Wanted

Just as reminder of what it means to lose war
in these days make note of this:
Many Britons, mostly retired rubber planters,
had their life savings invested in Malayan rubber.
Then the Japs took Malaga.
To5ay those investors are looking around for
jobs Most Of them are too old and expected to
work again. That's not as bad as bullet through
your heart, but it's still pretty tough.

Girl Sniper Listens

Some of the wealthiest men and
women of the United States gath
cred yesterday on the lawn of Jo-
seph E. Davies estate to pay tribute
to the fight by Soviet Russia against
the Axis armies and to hear Amer
lean public men urge the second
| front.
The purpose of the assembly was
! to announce that on November 7
and Congress of American-Soviet
Friendship will be held in New York
City. Mr.. Davies, former Ambas-
sador to the Soviet and author of
Mission to Moscow" told his
To-day we pay tribute to that
great people who are holding the
fort. Tomorrow, God willing, we
will be fighting physically by their
side"
The proletariat was represented
by Ambassador Maxim Litvinoff of
Russia and 1t. Liudmila Pavlich-
enko, the girl sniper, who sat on
chairs on the lawn and listened to
the speeches. Down the hill curved
the Davies private golf course. Be-
hind them was the Davies mansion
Jones, Jackson Speak.
Strong expressions In behalf of
Russia were given by cabinet Of
ficer, a Supreme Court justice,
members of the Senate and the
chairman of the House Foreign At
fairs Committee. Their voices re-
verberated through the trees from a
loudspeaker attached to the trunk
of an oak. The audience munched
sandwiches passed by footrnen while
they listened.
The setting was the estate Tre-
garon, on Klingle road. 1t was
named after the birthplace of Mr..
Davies mother In Wales. n.
Secretary of Commerce Jesse

xNuSSAo
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said:
Thank God, the Russian armies
are still fighting. May the doom
which plunged the imperial legions
of Napoleon into defeat and despair
give victory to Russian arms and re-
demption to that great country and
its great people"
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida thought that from the
American-Soviet Friendship Con-
gress might arise flame, a bright
light which will give both assurance
and encouragement to those who
have been SO hard pressed that we
are fast coming to their side to
march irresistibly with them until
with Gods help, right shall be un-
questionably won.'' ,..
McKellar Urges Second Front.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Tennessee hoped that Britain and
our own blessed America soon will
join in a second front against Ger
many SO that Russia, who, up to this
time, has borne, and borne splendidly
the heat and storm of Germany s
barbaric onslaught, may be assured
of final victory" He added:
I'VE must not be content with
cheering her on or furnishing her
with materials. We must fight be-
side her brave soldiers"
The friendship congress is de-
signed as testimonial by the people
of the United States to the people
of the Soviet Union. Discussion
panels of the Soviet people and their
science, industry labor, medicine and
arts will be held November 7. The
next day is to see a mass meeting
at which Mr.. Davies will preside.

sidered by the Academy The
! Broadway critics named James Gag
ney as giving the best acting per-
Torrance of 1912. Cagney got what
might be called an overwhelming
majority, 10 of the scribes tossing
him ballot. Runner-up was
Humphrey Bogart, who received two
votes for his work in "Casablanca"
and Across the Pacific" This trib-
ute to James Cagney is ratified
here, as it was by the late George
M. Conan, who saw it and attached
the credibility hallmark. No other
acting performed in Hollywood can
touch it for versatility.
In awarding the laurel for the
best feminine performance, the New
York editors went far afield They
chose Agnes Moorehead for her per-
Torrance in Orson Welles' "Magnii-
cent Ambersons," not enrolled with
the box office screen mighty. She
played Aunt Fanny in the picture.

unknown among the ladies nomi-

nine division, won on the sixth bal
lot by a vote of II to 7 for Greer
Carson, who played the name role

Welles for The Magnificent Amber
sons, two votes, and Michael Curtiz
for both Yankee Doodle Dandy" and
"Casablanca," Preston Sturges for
"Sullivan's Travels and Michael
Powell for The Invaders" one vote
each.
Though the Messrs. Welles and
Wyler remained in the race on the
second and third ballots, Mr.. Curtiz
was dropped after the second and
the contest narrowed between the
Messrs. FarroW and Coward
with Mr.. Farrow obtaining a two
