Clusters Last Stand
Highlights Thrilling Movie

One of the most spectacular
events in United States military
history-General Clusters last stand
at Little Big Horn, Montana, is
thrillingly reenacted on the screen
in They Died With Their Boots
On" at the Kootenai theatre Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday. Enrol
Flynn portrays Custer in the film
which, is the first to deal entirely
with the life of the famous Ameri-
can soldier Olivia de Havilland,
Flynn's lovely costar in so many
previous adventure films, plays the
role of Elizabeth Bacon, who be-
came Mrs. Custer.
The battle of the Little Big Horn
has been the subject of more con-
troversy and has been re-fought
more often than any other Ameri-
can campaign. Many historians are
critical of what they call Clusters
sacrifice of his men. They call him
grand-stander, man who wore a
uniform of black velvet and red
necktie. But all pay tribute to his
courage

Eastman Requests
Clirbs Oh. Travel

WASHINGTON. June 19. CUPO-
Drastic control over civilian travel
may be unnecessary if all non
essential meetings such as conven-
tions, group tours and county fairs
are deferred for the duration, De-
fenSe Transportation Director JOS
eph =. Eastman said today.
Eastman appealed to the people
TO voluntarily impose restrictions
upon their travel" and warned that
1T IS clear t.;ac travel as usual is
out for the duration"
Passenger traffic On railroad and
bus lines is so per cent greater than
last year and is still rising steadily
Eastman said. Troop movements also
will be much heavier and the volume
CT necessary business travel is going
up, he declared.
The ODT urged everyone to stag
ger vacations throughout the year
and begin and end them in the mid
die of the week; and not to travel,
aside from vacations, for mere pleas =.
ure or when travel can readily be
avoided.

but said they were repulSed.
RED MARINES LAND
(The Germans, claiming to be
within less than two miles of the
naval harbor of Sevastopol, admit
ted Russian marines from Warships
CT the Black sea fleet had landed
near Kerch to the east of Sevas--
southeast of Sevastopol, apparently
in diversion attacks.
Un London, British military COM
mentators believed that the fate
Of the Black sea fortress might be
decided within a few days.
Hundreds of women of Sevastopol,
members of the Red army and train
ed under fire, are ready to enter the
battle which has ragged for IA days
nd nights without letup.
DEATH PLEDGED
Sevastopol's outnumbered garrison
and its civilians sent word to Mos
COW that they have taken an oath
to die to the last soul" rather than
surrender their city"
The situation was grave, but far
from hopeless. Across the bomb and
shell-pocked approaches to Sevas :
topol the Germans still attacked.
The Russians crushed assault after
assault and fresh German corpses
joined hundreds that had been rot
ting for two weeks.
The first Soviet communicate TO-
day said that no important changes
had occurred on the whole front
last night. 1t revealed Soviet
thrust on the Kalinin front, where
the Germans were thrown out of
their positions. Apparently the ac-
ton was not large, because but
"one unit" was involved.
"On one sector of the Kharkov
front, a unit in the course Of three
days repulsed several German at
tackS," the communique sa d.
Achieving no results the Germans
suffered heavy losses. More than
1000 officers and men (German)
were left on the field

Carriers Called
Fleets Backbone

thorizes 100000 tons of new aircraft
carriers, 50G,GOO tons of cruisers
and 100000 tons of destroyers and
destroyer escorts. The total COM
batant vessels authorized are eX-
pected to exceed 400, plus 1000
small vessels for patrol and anti
submarine work.
Vinson said that although the
carrier has replaced the battleship
as the backbone of the fleet, he
warned against relegating the bat
tleship to q permanently inferior
status. 1t is conceivable, he ex-
planned, that in an engagement in
which all carriers may be destroyed,
the great monsters of the fleet
may yet play dominant and decisive
roles.
