NEA Service Starr correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, June ia
man from Washington, Film Co
ordinator Nelson Poynter, has
been telling Hollywood lately
that there is too much flag waV-
ing and not nearly enough
thoughtful explanation of our
war theology on the screen.
There are intangible factors
in the world struggle which must
be brought to life, he says, "or
this war will not make sense.
Poynter has criticized Movie
town for paying too much atten-
ton to thrilling aspects of fight
ing, and too little to showing
why we are fighting His de-
partment also wants these ques-
tons answered on the screen:
What is the nature of our enc
mics? How can we better under
stand our allies? How can each
individual help the fight? What
must we give up to win? Who
are the men in our fighting
forces?
It is felt that air forces are be-
ing glorified in movies to the eX-
tent Of neglecting other branches
of the services. And Poynter
wants Hollywood Ito give us a
Mrs. Miniver' of Russia and of
China, making clear our common
interest with the Russians and
the Chinese in this war"
IST THAT so?
All these ideas are dandy, but
a little late. If Hollywood had
any collective gumption it would
have replied sharply to Poynter S
criticisms that it's way ahead
of him.
China, its people and their
stake in the war are being
given attention by several pro-
ducers. Metro is preparing Pearl
Bucks Dragon Seed" and RKO
has cast her China Sky deal
ing with American doctors and
nurses in China today. At goth
Fox, Ben Hecht has started his
own story, China Girl In
August, United Artists will re-
lease The Battle Cry Of China"

counts of the horrors of war where
bombs ore bursting, machine guns
sproyina, incendiories firing, boyonets
splitting human bodies.
PiecemeoI, bit by bit, we have been
told something Of the social and eco
nomic effects Of totoI war in deToc-
rocy and Of its even more scorltyIn9
effects in the totoitorion countries.
But LytteIton, the Donald Nelson
of Great Britain, has given us frankly
foctuoIIy and without odornment, q
picture Of the complete reodjustment
that such war means to civilians.
Every man and woman is subject to
droft to work or fight. They cannot
toke Jobs at will and move on when
they please. They are frozen at their
machines.
Women work long hours-uP to
S. q week-often at tasks that every
man hates to think of having women
do.
Boys and girls from IA years up
ore almost universally engaged in war
work on farms or in foctories-not pin
money, occasional tasks, but doy-by-
day drudgey that frees men for
fqhtina and for even more onerous
Iobors.
Not only has production Of civilian
goods been cut to the bone, but manu-
focturers have had to see the patron
oee they had Ioboriously acquired
turned over to rivals, SO their own foc-
tories might be used for war goods.
Food is rotioned. Money doesn't
count. Cabinet ministers and factory
workers, milIionoires and subsistence
level Ioborers, each is entitled to the
same amount.
Clothing is rotioned. The rich can
have better quality, to be sure, but for
each woman, whatever her income or
bank balance, there is one coat, one
dress, one pair Of shoes, one night
gown, one set Of undergornents, two
poirs Of. hose and four hondkerchiefs
for this year.
After July | the ordinary civilian
will get no gasoline at oil.
Income taxes stort OF the S45O-o-
year level, and climb fost to the almost
completely confiscotoN rate Of 97A
cents on the dollar.
This is the borest skeleton Of what
Mr.. LytteIton tells us Of what totoI war
means even otter the danger Of death
or moinine has been discounted.

BLOODY BATTLE
GROUNDS

Under this theory, nothing
that Congress ever opposed
wos worth sowing, everything
that Congress ever approved
wos okoy. Thot applies to the
\ cord and the PENSIONS for
congressman issues, too, on
the basis that Congress had to
be for these things to bring
out the foct that the country
was against them and so cause
their defeat
If this theory Of govern
ment is true, then every issue
must be q battle gro d,
fought over till both sides reel
PunChdrunk and bloody from
the field, but with right def
niteIy triumphant no matter
which side wins.
This solution Of state ques-
trons is disconcerting enough
TO some folks in peace times,
b Vt definitely disruptive in
Time Of war, when the nation
should oil be united in O great
big happy family settling
their problems in q calm, cool

It seems fitting, then that the TO-

send greetings to the fathers OF Der
many, along these lines:
We're sorry for you fellows, q ''tt'e,
but we can't erieve too much. You, ana
YOU onIy, are responsible for the sons
YOU have lost and the sons you have yet
to lose in western Europe, in Africa, on
the high secs, over Britain, and most
disostrousIy in Russia.
While we devoted ourselves to the
ways of peace, you spent your time and
substance making guns and tanks,
worpIones and bombs.
While we we're asserting and exer-
cisine the right Of free men to govern
themselves, you permitted warped
minded eeomonioc to control your
every action and most Of your thoughts.
While we defended the right OF
every person to worship his own God in
his own way, you protested only net-
fectuoIIy when your fuehrer closed
churches, prosecuted your clergy, and
led you backward toward the pagan
ism Of your roce's darkest oees
While we strove to make racial
baotry q stencil in the nostriIs Of dec
emit men, you stood by crovenIy OF best
-ond co-operoted actively at worst
while q race from which Germany had
drawn much Of the best Of her culture
was moItreoted brutolIy.
This, fathers Of Germany, is not
alone the first doy Of summer and the
doy dedicated to the fotherhood Of
democratic America.
This olso is the anniversary Of the
occasion when yoru despotc fuehrer
turned treocherousIy upon his Russian
oily, and plunged you and your sons
into an unnecessary adventure from
which there can be no return until your
place in the international sun hos been
destroyed.
Today, fathers Of Germany, ponder
on the sons who lie in unmarked graves
somewhere in Russia because you
foiIed in your duty toward them and
permitted Adolf Hitler to do with you
as his diseased mind suggested
Think Of your sons who will live,
manned, Suffered in body and mind
and soul, because you we're not men
enough to stop Hitler when you dis
covered the evil thing he is.
Think Of the fotherIess sons Of
other men-of your own sons, who will
become fotherless os you die at the
whin Of Adolf Hitler.
To you, fathers, Of Germany, we
extend sympothy-o ittIe-since we,

MOSCOW, Oct. 27.-How the tide
of battle was turned at Stalingrad a
month ago by a motorized division
which crossed the Volga in broad
daylight was related today in a dis
patch to the army newspaper Red
Star.
That was at a time when the rap
idly advancing Germans believed
the fall Of stalingrad to be only q
matter of hours.
The dispatch, by VASTLY Gross
man, said the three regiments Of the
Gen. Rodintzev's division with artil-
lery and vehicles, had made long
forced march from deep in the rear
to the banks of the Volga.
Without waiting for a compare
lively safe crossing by night, the
division passed to the west bank of
the river in barges and boats under
fierce daytime air attack.
One boat was sunk and 20 of the
10 men aboard were killed, the
dispatch said, but the remainder of
the unit completed the crossing.
The main burden Of Stalingrad's
defense was then being borne by
artillery, with German automatic
gunners attacking the batteries.
The Rodintzev division, which
previously had fought near Kiev,
battled its way out of encircle-
ment several times and went into
action while its rear guard still was
on the east bank Of the river and
its headquarters only yards from
the stream on the west bank.
One regiment was isolated, but

LONDON, Oct. 27.-Air Minister
Sir Archibald Sinclair predicted to-

Forces would bring mighty and
shattering reinforcement to the
bombing offensive against Germany
which, he disclosed, dumped 5000
tons of bombs on the Nazi homeland
in nine raids during the first IA days
of September. \
THE Americans are joining in,'
Sinclair said. Don't hustle them
bombing Germany is no picnic.
Their bombing has been astonish-
ingly accurate. My belief is that they
will bring mighty and shattering re-
Enforcement to the bombing offensive
against Germany"
He said Britain's big bombers
were guided to their targets in
Italy and France by Frenchmen who
opened their doors and windows in
the blackout and gave the "V" sign
with their flashlights.
The air minister said he thought
"a consistent blitz on the scale of
1940-41" was unlikely to hit Britain
again. but warned against COM

.ickard Urges Extra
Effort 10 Achieve ..
Food Goals in 1943
Asserts u. S. and Canada
Must Work Together
In Common Cause
BY the Associated Press.

oy Inc ASSoclateo freSS.
TORONTO, Oct 26.-The year 1943
will be crucial one and we must
make an extreme effort to reach our
food goals" United States Secretary
of Agriculture Wickard said in
recorded address broadcast last night
on Canadian farm radio forum.
''We must somehow accomplish
the enormous task before U.S. he
said. Canada and the United States
together must provide much of the
food necessary for the cause Of the
United Nations and for feeding the
hungry people of the earth after the
war is won."
At the same time, Mr.. Wickard
said, 1t Is uncertain whether goals
which had been set for certain crops
could be reached because of lack of
farm labor. II such goals are reached
"it will be because the farmers work
even longer and harder than they
did this year. and because they con-
centrate all their land and effort on
products that are absolutely essen
tial."
Farm women and children would
have to carry a heavier part OF the
load and farm neighbors would have
to exchange their time and their
machines over wider areas, he said.
Secretary Wickard told how United
States crops in 1942 broke all rec
ords, production Of oil-bearing crops,
for instance, being doubled to more
than replace the supply lost when
Japan cut of shipments from the
Far East.
The farmers should get most of
the credit for the production achieve
ments, he said, adding that it was
good thing production was so great
because future demands on Amer
ican food and fiber will be tre-
mendous.
Reviewing the United States farm
program, the Secretary said the
price program called for floors as
well as ceilings.
"A limit is set on how low prices
can fall, as well as how high they
can rise. The chief purpose is to
prevent a sudden collapse during
the war and keep farm families from
taking the licking they did after the
First World War"

Admiral Edwards, chief of staff to
Admiral Ernest j. King, chief of

down between the main striking
forces of the United States and jap

When new battle units of superior
tonnage, armor and armament, par
ticularly anti-aircraft weapons which
still are in the stage of developments,
are ready, our battle plans will be
ready for them," he said.
