better bring him to trial.
It's only too true. Ever since
Pearl Harbor. shooting scenes at al
studios have been cut drastically
Reason is that Hollywood's ammuni-
ton supply has been practically cut
of. There are other and more i'm
portant uses for shot and shell these
days. ...
The spectacular Indian raid In
Clarence Buddington Kelland' 5 "Val-
ley Of the Sum-" Just finished by
R-K-O, probably will be the last
large-scale shooting affray screen
fans will see for a long time to
come. These were shot a week be-
fore war was declared.
Conservation foresight was even
then in order and it took q lot of
persuasion on the part Of the movie
makers to get q sufficient quantity
Of explosives to make the big battle
look realistic. Property men were
finally issued $4,000 rounds Of aen-
munition. None was wasted. The
troupe returned from its New Mexico
location with $4,000 unused rounds.
Also the prop man lugged back some
10000 empty cartridges, which can
be reloaded.
All studios are in the same fix,
most Of them resigned to the fact
that eventually they must curtail
Westerns, or at least turn them into
idyllic subjects in which hard-riding,
banjo-playing cowboys romp in front
of beautiful scenery and merely voice
threats they can't carry out with
guns.
At present all lots are on q ra-
tioning plan. At 20th Century.Fox,
for instance, "Sundown Jim" will
use about 1000 rounds. Secret
Agent of, Japan" got away with
5000 rounds. "Ten Gentlemen From
West Point" which goes in for war
in q rather big way, has been given
10000 rounds.
Because Of their experience in
filming "Gang Busters" noisiest and
smokiest of all recent underworld
films, Universal powder men are
worried about getting enough am
munition for the filming of Eagle
Squadron.
In making Gang Busters" the
studio ran into q real problem. They
had 5000 rounds Of machine gun
ammunition on hand at its start
AxyVNAnkAI IN arA~ A~nthnN e nm
rounds. But they had to quit when
the original allotment went up in
smoke. They couldn't get any more.
Warner Brothers had q lucky
break in filming Captains of the
Clouds" in Canada. They used
Canadian equipment and anm,lni-
ton, and much of the aerial maneu-
vers were what amounted to news
reel shots of the cadets In training.
In shooting 'They Died With Their

on their side. The great indian
massacre scenes, running q full II

powder into the background. So,
while the current supply lasts, car
tridges for movie gunfire can be re-
loaded with black powder.
They'll still be figuring out plenty

Mayhem Called Judo

The tricks are called judo and
are on the order Of jujitsu, but
tougher.

ant Eaton. "they taught us TO
disable a man by driving a knee
into his groin. After that IL
progressed to other things"
For example, the sock In the
puss with the fist IL not much

blow with the side OF your hand.

my's nose jars the brain and
leaves the man daZed. IL might
break hls nose. too.
Or you can cup your hands
and clap them over his ears,
hard. Broken ear drums will
leave him staggering and dizzy.
Ram a finger In each Of his ears
and you can lead the biggest.
toughest scrapper around like a
kitten.
The point Of an elbow In the
right part of the jaw will break
the deadliest deadlock. A thumb
and fOrefinger on the correct
spots OF the throat will make

nobody gets hurt. Eaton is home

day, a subcommittee of the Board
of Commerce transportation COM
mittee was struggling 10 get

to place before them.
! The two government chiefs were
urged in a letter from Raymond
Berry, president of the board. to
tcome to Detroit TO study the prob-
lens confronting the city under
gasoline restrictions. 1t was part
of a plea TO postpone limitation
of gas here until the b and c
cards could be properly processed.
Donald NJ SlutZ, co-ordipator
of war transportation told meet
ling of the transportation COM
lmittee yesterday that the OPA
Iofficiais here had assured war
workers of sufficient gas to in
sure their getting back and forth
to work. He disclosed that all
plants employing 100 or more per-
sons would set up committees
OF their own TO speed the issuance
iof B and c cards.
DOUBT EXPRESSED
Frank Armstrong. chairman OF
the TRANSPORTATION committee, ex-
lpressed doubt that the ratloning
boards could process the B and G
cards in time to avert trans
Iportation crisis here. II was pointed
out that with 100000 motorists
registering for A cards. about
325 900 probably would apply. for.
B and c cards.
"The manpower is lacking to
process all these applications In
a short time" said Armstrong.
The committee then voted TO
send the plea for postponement or
rationing for Detroit until the
cards could be issued and SUBJ
stitute plan worked out. The let
ter pointed out that war produce
ton might be crippled through
inability of workers TO get TO and
from their jobs.
