full only when she is playing that in
telligent, neurotic mess of q girl,
she does 1t more engagingly than
any other actress you can think Of.
Next reminder of that. which also
will confirm the superficial esti-
mate that it is the same character
all over again, is Miss Hepburn's S
Woman of the Year" In this
story, whose not altogether modest
title probably will draw its share of
comment, Miss Hepburn again por-
trays a glittering. cerebral female
who is trying to establish contact
with her emotions in a painfully fu-
tile fashion. Whether you want to
or not, she makes you share her
anguish, which is a considerable test
of her abilities as an actress. The
offhand judgment, not necessarily
of Miss Hepburn but of the tenn
permanent of brilliant women
columnists who love ideologies more
than anything else, is hardly SYM
pathetic.
But, bless your soul, Miss Hepburn
overcomes the handicap quite easily.
And leaves you admiring her more
than ever.
1t may be, although memo from
the Theater Guild neglects to say
so, that Washington will catch a
new facet of Miss Hepburn's skill

Anti.Strike LEGISLATION

The fight for anti-strike legisla-
ton for the period Of the war may
fare up again soon on the Senate
floor. Senator Connally, Democrat,
of Texas said today he will seek
the first opportunity to call up his
long pending measure to enable the
Government to take over plants
where tie-ups are threatened, freeze
open or closed shop conditions and
provide for mediation Of wage
rates.
"The Army, Navy and Maritime
Commission want my bill" the
Texan said. "It is what they need
to carry on an uninterrupted pro-
duction program. 1t was reported
favorably from the Judiciary Com
mittee, IL to 2, and ! think the
Senate should be given a chance to
vote on it"
Senator Byrd. Democrat. of Vir-
ginia a few days ago chided the
Senate Education and Labor Com
mittee for delaying action on labor
control provisions voted by the
House early in December.
Indications are. however. that
efforts to introduce labor 1egisla-
ton at this time will be met by
the argument from administration
forces that the new War Labor
Board should be given more time

LONDON, March 3.-The British
and Indian defenders of Burma, now
under direction of Gen. Sir Archi-
bald Wavell, were reported today
holding fast along the line of the
Sittang River and bracing them
selves for q full-scale assault which
the Japanese were believed prepar-
ing to launch from bases already
won.
The New Delhi radio announced
that Gen. Wavell, after visiting his
forces in Burma, had returned to
| India to resume the task of pre-
pairing that country against the
threat OF Axis invasion.
The All-India radio broadcast a
communiqIe from British Army
headquarters in Burma today re-
porting that a growing number of
Indians were returning to Rangoon,
and even were opening up small
shops in the city, which had been
all but evacuated in the face of the
Japanese threat from the east.
R. A. F. fighters and bombers at
tackled Japanese lines and transport
concentrations with good effect"
the communique said.
Units of the Indian Air Force
operating in Burma have been so
successful in bombing and recon-
naissance raids over Japanese-hel
territory that they have been singled
out for praise by Gen. Wavell.
Gen. Wavell told the Indians
their raids made "all the differ
ence." Among their operations have
been dive-bombing attacks on
Moulmein and Martaban, and at
tacks on enemy concentrations at
Chiengrai and Mehongshon in
Thailand.
In one raid an Indian pilot officer
led a flight of r. A. F. and I. A. F.
bombers in an attack at 500 feet in
spite of strong anti-aircraft fire.
All the I. A. F. units are manned
exclusively by Indians.

Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell, before
leaving Java for India, stressed the
fact that dissolution of the United
Nations supreme command will not
mean any cessation OF the flow of
aircraft and other war materials for
the defense of Java" Aneta news
agency reported today.
Aneta issued the following mes
sage addressed by Gen. Wavell to
the people of the Netherlands Indies
Il have received orders that, in
view of recent developments, the
command of the Allied forces in
Java should be handed over to
Dutch commanders, who have, in
fact, for some time already been
exercising it under my general
direction.
II hand over the command to
them with confidence, knowing by
experience their capabilities and
skill in handling the forces at their
disposal and their answering reso-
luton to do everything possible for
the defense of Java.
Il have found them men of deeds
rather than words and have learned
to appreciate the worth OF what
they do.
The Allied forces left under
their command will have every con-
fidence in them.
The change of command will not
mean any cessation of the flow of
aircraft and other war materials
for the defense of Java.
I'm leaving Java I should like
to express upon behalf of myself
my troops and my staff our very
grateful thanks for the most gen.
erous cooperation we have re-
ceived in every way from the Dutch
authorities and people in this
island. together with our admira-
tion for their resolution and con-
fidence in danger and adversely.

from Japan exactly what he is get
ting"
Few Illusions in America,

Van. Nook said the impression
that the defense Of the Netherlands
Indies was a forlorn cause seemed
dominant in British circles when
they started for the Indies. He said
that prominent Americans with
whom he talked seemed to have few
illusions about Singapores true
strength. even before it began tot
tering, but often lacked apprehen-
sion of the difficulties of recovering
the Indies once they were lost
through a campaign based in
Australia.
Gen. George c. Marshall was
one American who seemed to me tc
assess the situation thoroughly in
true strategic terms" he said.
Van Nook praised as assets for
the coming struggle In the Far
East the American capacity to wage
war on 24-hour rather than 9-to-5,
week-ends-off style and said that
he had been moved by an example
of this, seeing engineers laboring
on the defenses on the Pacific isle
where his clipper returning from
America) had touched.
The trouble with the Allied
campaign is that people have been
so flabbergasted by Japan's achieve
ments that they have never thought
of using the same methods to beat
her" said Van Nook IF the Japs
can come through China and across
Indo- China, Thailand and Malaga
against Burma. what is to prevent
British forces from returning by the
same route? If Japan can take the
Javanese archipelago from 1000
miles northward. why cannot the
United States do likewise from Aus
tralia?"
Japan Must Be Kept Busy.
Van Nook said that should Java
fall, the original theory that the
Pacific war should be subordinate
to the battle in Europe and the
Atlantic, although originally mis-
leading, would become partly cor
rect.
Speaking with slow thoughtful-
ness, he said:
Japan must be prevented from
helping Germany any more. Japan
must be kept occupied in the Pacific
but mainly in order to prevent her
going to Germany's assistance.
see war between Russia and Japan
as an early event. Now is the mo-
ment when Japan, If she takes Java
must aid Germany by striking at
Russia. for Russia will never tolerate
that bold empire unmolested."
Van Nook predicted that Japan's
Pan-Malayan movement would come
to naught, because she never has
been able to organize a people after
conquering it." But he stated that
her reopening of oil resources was g
possibility If the United States failed
to maintain offensive activity in the
Pacific.
Alone among the powers In the
Far East, the Americans and Dutch
have created the tradition of lead
ing the colored peoples along the
road of self government. Should
that tradition be allowed to lapse
the next war may be between the
European whites and the Jap-leo
races of the East
