Total Surrender
Of Italy Demanded

LONDON, Aug. (UP)-Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden reiterated
in commons today that the Allies
were demanding 1taly's uncondi-
tional surrender.
RhyS John Davies asked Eden to
name the honorable peace condi-
lions which Gen. Dwight d. Eisen-
1ower said in broadcast had been
offered the Italian people.
"As stated July 30," Eden re-
piled, no peace terms have been
offered the Italians. We continue
to demand unconditional surrender" !"

Brookline said that the nutritional
treatment was a moro important
factor than sulfa drugs and the
tripel dye treatments.
From 168 pounds Johnson dropped
to 1l2 as the protein in his body
drained from normal of 6.5 per
cent to 80 per cent. To combat this
he was intravenously fed $500 calor-
les daily as compared with the $500
calorles required each day by a
laborer. His daily caloric intake
equalled about three pounds of meat.

HOLLYWOOD
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON

Things had been peaceful aroun
Paramount for a long time-no-
body realized just how peaceful
until the other day Then the
racket began. Startled secretaries
threw open their office windows
and craned out to see what the
trouble was. Stars rushed from
their dressing rooms. Passers-by
paused apprensively.
Cecil B. DeMille had just started
another. production. The studios
big "A" tank had been converted
into a Yangtse river set, crowded
with junks and sampans, and with
hordes of Chinese extras, slightly
outnumbered by the hordes of as
sistant directors and other aides
thanking the great DeMille.
Shots rang out. Explosions shook
the stage. Men shouted. Women
screamed. And over it all, the
voice of DeMille, who was using a
public address system in lieu of the
old-fashioned megaphone, could be
heard halfway to Hollywood and
Vine.
Few mind, though. 1t will be a
welcome break in the monotony-
like carnival time in a small town.
For when De Mile is in production,
here is never a dull moment. 1t
is always the best show in town,
which is why stars, producers, de-
partment heads, secretaries, and
workmen keep dropping in to watch.
STAR SNOWMAN
To tourists, a motion picture
studio in action is usually disap-
pointment. That's because modern
picture making is, for the most
part, a cut and dried workaday
process. But DeMille, still wearing
boots and riding pants, brings back
all the color and excitement OF the
Did days. He appears less like a
director than ringmaster, a
Balnum of the sound stages. Ano
at 81, he has lost none OF his snow
manship or his man-killing drive

when he enters the mine. His day
ends when he leaves the working

that he should be paid for 1t. as are
