HOLLYWOOD. April 81 - The
War Department spoke sharply to
movie studios, song publishers and
other companies which have tried
to exploit the names, pictures or
stories of current war heroes such
as Gen. Douglas Macarthur or
Capt Colin P. Kelly, Jr.
No doubt a lot of people feel
that such figures already belong
to history and to the democratic
world. And so they do in news and
factual magazine articles and news
reels, but you can't use heros
fame to try to sell something A
music publisher may not plaster
MacArthur's picture on the cover
of a song. Neither could Mono
gram Pictures use the title, THE
Little MacArthurs, on a movie
featuring the Dead End Kids.
Any such exploitation, warns the
War Department. not only is I'M
dignified, but is an infringement
on the rights of the heroes or their
heirs.
Costume designers in the studios
we're quick TO feel the pinch of the
WPB's clothing restrictions. With
thousands of gowns and dresses
made up, they could have gone on
for years with any styles they
wanted without wasting new ma
terials. But since screen costumes
greatly influence fashions, the
movies must set a good example
in economy. Wardrobe seam
stresses are shortening skirts, and
removing pleatS.

Lamour and Veronica Lake have
a comedy song called THE Sweater,
