There probably are some people
who have not been given a thorough
movie education in the operations
OF Nazl espionage. If there are, NaZi
Agent with Conrad Veidt as he,
is at the Columbia this week to re-
view the subject rather thoroughly
again. 1t is Veidt's picture and
gives him occasion to prove again
that he is one of the finest actors
who preferred exile to Hitler.
In its revelation Of sabotage
methods employed by the ensmy
'Nazi Agent" offers very little that
is new. Its basic story idea Is that
of two brothers, twins, one of whom
is a good German, the other q de-
generate consul operating in large
American city. The good brother
kills the bad one and takes over his
consulate, not with the idea of car
rying on the espionage but of pre-
tending to in order to upset the
program
There are some neat angles in
his effort to take over the brothers
spy organization. which is full of
dastardly plots and plans of which
he knows nothing and Of killers
who wouldn't hesitate a moment
to murder him if his identity ever
is revealed. 1t imparts slight ele-
ment of suspense which helps mask
the weaknesses of the narrative.
1t is highly polished perform
ance that Veidt gives in his rather
fragile and familiar role. He is as
sisted by several of Metro Goldwyn-
Mayors lesser players, the most
notable of whom is Ann Ayars,
whose ambition to be concert
singer recently was sidetracked by
a talent scout who knows brunette
glamor when he sees it. She does
we'll enough as a female spy who
doesn't have her heart in her work.
The others are adequate.

others being taken over as bonded
servants, depraved uncles stealing
huge estates from poor waifish

In this violent setting was young

the bond servant of his uncle. The
uncle George Sanders) is a su-
premely wicked fellow, a man who
likes nothing better than to toss
aside his lace jabot and beat the
daylights out of the weak and inflrm.
That makes young Ben furious, not
merely on his own account, but
because he sees the system as
fraught with criminal injustice IN
its broader implications.
He andN the uncle are always
coming to grips, such grips as you've
never seen before. They slash each
other to ribbons. wreck the furni-
ture, virtually demolish the manor
house and otherwise indicate high
mutual disregard. There probably

ton, Joe Smith, American" though
this Is, nonetheless, a very fine
photoplay in its unaSsuming way.
It's a sort of "B" picture with
something to say, which means it is
far superior to any number of "a"
pictures you, too, could name off,
hand.
Joe Smith, American" is just the
story of a rather melodramtic inter-
lude in the life of an average Amer
ican guy, who does what you hope
any other American, whether named
Joe Smith or Ladislaus Wynczocki,
would do if the circumstances arose.
This Joe Smith Is worker in an
aircraft plant, whose extraordinary
adventures begin when he is handed
the task of installing secret bomb
sights. Some people who shouldn't
know want to know more about the
bomb sights, kidnap Joe and beat
the living daylights out OF him. But
he won't talk. And that is the
story.
RlcndrQ 1nOrpP, WHO directed CIle
film, which has been adapted from a
Paul Calico short story, has had the
good sense to keep his picture as
unpretentious as the people with
whom 1t deals. There's an easy
naturalness about the whole affair,
in factory and in home, which lends
added drama to Joe's moment Of
heroism in the face of the brutality
of totalitarian spies. There may be
a slight let-down when things come
of too patty in the end, but you will
feel better for having met Joe

with which Joe Smith, American"

 The boards decision will be re- leased in the midst of what has ap- parently become a major crisis in the administrators attempt to fight imitation. President Roosevelt was said to have told his legislative leaders yesterday that he might ask Congress to forego congressional recess to be on hand to consider a more drastic anti-inf1ation program = with strong wage and salary con- trols.
 Other factors bearing on the Little Steel" case were:
 1. President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organiza- lions charged in Pittsburgh that the public representatives on the War Labor Board were "abdicating" their wage adjusting powers to Price Ad- ministrator Leon Henderson. He said that an OPA representative had entered stabilization negotia- tions in the aircraft industry on the Pacific coast with an ultimatum that no wage increase be granted. He also said Henderson had med dled" in the steel wage controversy.
 2. Three ranking government off, cials were reported concerned about the sentiments expressed by an OPA official before the aircraft stabilization conference referred to by Murray.

 , Shapovalov and his comrades have just gotten a shock that to them is much more serious than the danger of the German legions charging them.
 They learned yesterday that one of the German divisions which had arrived to join the battle for Vor- onezh had been transferred there from France.
 It is hard--it is impossible to convey the impression that this produced on the Red Army men. They had believed that by now the Germans must have begun to with. draw troops from the eastern front to the west in fear of coming second front.
 Can Gamble On Delay
 Now they learn that Hitler, anx- ious to achieve decisive victory in Russia before the second front opens, believes he can gamble on 8 delay in the allied action and with the recklesSness of 6 gambler is transferring his divisions from the west to the east.
 The Russians on this front hope that the British and the Americans will bear this in mind. Recalled were the words of Peter the Great who said:
 "Procrastination is like unto death."
 Many German prisoners are being taken on the dry, hot steepes which rae baked so hard that not only tanks but even ordinary trucks can pass without remaining on roads, Among these prisoners are many young lads.
