New Lights
For Makeup

THERE'S SOMETHING new in
screen makeup!
Clay Campbell. head Of Column
bias makeup department, has in
stalled a miniature lighting sys-
TEN which is the exact duplicate
of the set lights under which each
star works.
The cameraman on each set ar
ranges the key lighting with
Campbell, which is different on
every set. Campbell makes up the
stars under fluorescent lights and
then checks the makeup under the
key lights.
Marguerite Chapman, currently
playing a stellar role in De
stroyer," was the first star to be
made up under this revolutionary
lighting system.

REAL DEPRIVATION

Deprivation and every kind of
hardship couldn't stop them from
that amazing feat of building a
highway and a railroad right
across the frozen surface of Lake
Ladoga, in order to bring in sup
plies and evacuate those who could
be of no service.
Technically the film which Wen
dell Wilkie brought back as a
present from Stain. has many
faults. but one has TO remember
conditions weren't quite favorable
for cinema production.

Siege of
Leningrad'
Grin, Film
By CHARLES GENTRY

WE HAVE come to the grim
realization that beleagured cities
are not things of medieval past.
but can be terrified capitols of
today.
Nothing can bring this more
closely home that THE Siege of
Leningrad," the film which opened
at the Cinema.
This is a great document Of a
people who withstood Nazi ham,
mering for over a year under the
most narrowing conditions.
The picture starts with June OF
1941 and the early preparations
for siege by the citizens of Lenin-
grad, the resistance Of these same
|citizens to the encroaching Nazi
hordes who tried to encircle the
city and the great fight of the
ensuing winter.
We have heard much of the
courage of the Russian people, not
just the soldiers, but the men and
women from every day walks of
life, who turned to, with literally
a vengeance to repel the invaders.
SEEING Is BELIEVING
But you cannot realize to what
extent this total effort was made
until you see a picture of this sort
Under ceaseless fire. factories
run by women went right on pro-
ducing the implements of war, al
though a bomber might destroy

worked.

almost miraculous fashion. Natu-
rally. all the trained troops were
fighting at the front, as we see in
several action shots, but the main
part Of the picture is devoted to
showing what civilian defense

Midwest Governors
Oppose Gasoline Cuts
Before Senate Group
BY the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 4.-Midwes
ofiicials bristled today over a pro.
posal to shear gasoline rations ir
their States If its only purpose. they
said. is to bring back pleasure riding
to the East.
Before a special Senate committee
yesterday one of them demanded
more basic gasoline instead of less,
and none was willing to reduce the
coupon values unless it would benefit
the Army and Navy.
Gov. Andrew Schoeppel of Kan
sas, also chairman of the Interstate
Oil Compact Commission, insisted
that If equality in sacrifice" was to
be adopted as a principle it should
be extended to other things, freight
rates, for instance.
For years. he said. the Midwest S
industrial opportunities have been
stifled by abnormally high freight
rates, adding that the area is EN-
titled to equality of opportunity.
Proportions Scored.
John A. Ainley, representing Gov.
Dwight Griswold of Nebraska, un-
folded map before the committee,
headed by Senator Clark, Democrat,
OF Missouri, to show the Midwest
had seven times as much area as the
North Atlantic region with approx
imately the same number of people.
He argued reduced rations in the
Midwest would provide it only "A
gallons per square mile per week of
basic gasoline as against 142 gallons
for the East.
Il suggest they double or treble
our rations," he said, because some
of our farmers live 35 or 40 miles
from the nearest church, high school
or shopping centers."
Senator Reed, Republican. of Kan
sas, who, with Senator Clark, of Ne
Senator Wherry, Republican. of Ne
braska formed the senatorial COM
mittee, suggested the Midwest Gov
ernors organize committee to re-
sist unnecessary curtailment.
Crude Oil Price Hit.
Gov. Homer Adkins of Arkansas,
objecting to the proposed reduction,
contended the trouble was that the
price of crude oil was too low to en-
courage exploration of new fields.
W. j. Holloway, representing Gov.
Kerr of Oklahoma. agreed Washing
tons view of the question of supply
and reserves was near-sighted. He
expressed belief crucial shortage
was approaching unless reasonable
crude oil price increase is forth
coming.
Widespread gasoline black markets
and wholesale designations of ration
ing boards will result if gallon value
of gasoline rationing coupons in this
area are reduced, Senator Thomas.
Democrat, of Oklahoma telegraphed
the President from Tulsa, Okla, last
night
In his wire the Senator said re-
duction of gasoline supplies, when
there are large stocks on hand in
this area. will bring vigorous pro-
tests, approaching economic revolu-

North American Mans
Breakup Into -Four
Regional Systems
Pv the ass,.;etsd prass


NEW YORK, Aug. "A plan for
the breakup of the North American
Co, billion-dollar public utility
holding company, was announced
last night by its president, Edward
L. Shea, to meet the death SEN
tence" provision of the Public Util-
ity Holding Company Act.
Mr.. Shea said the plan would
enable North American Co. to divest
itself of the major part of its utility
investment ''by method which con-
templates the retirement of the
senior securities of the company and
the eventual distribution of its
principal investments among hold
ers of it's common stock.
The company has arranged for a
2 per cent bank loan amounting to
S34 ,881 500, which will be used to
retire its outstanding debentures.
Four Companies Planned.
The plan provides for creation OF
four regional holding companies as
follows:
Union Regional Co.. to hold the
common stock of Union Electric Co
of Missouri: Ohio Regional Co., to
hold the common stock of Cleveland
Electric Illuminating Co.; Wisconsin
Michigan Regional Co., to hold CON-
mon stock of Wisconsin Electric
Power Co. and part of North Amer
leans present holdings of Pacific
Gas 81 Electric Co. common stock
North American Regional Co., to
hold common stock of Washington
Cd. c. Railway & Electric Co. and
part of the common stock of Pacific
Gas & Electric Co.
A fifth company. to be known as
the Liquidating Co, would hold
North Americans interest in North
American Light & Power Co. and
other holdings. This company would
be owned jointly by the four re-
gional holding companies.
The plan has been adopted by the
North American board of directors
and will be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission today.
Transition Period Provided.
For period of 60 days following
SEC approval of the plan, holders
of North American common stock
would fave the privilege of obtain
ing their proportionate share of un-
DERIVING stocks of North Ameri-
cans subsidiaries by surrender OF
their stock certificates and payment
of their proportionate share of cash
necessary to retire the Indebtedness
and preferred stock outstanding and
ranking ahead of North American
common.
After 60 days North American's
assets would be divided among the
four regional holding companies
which would assume the obligation
under the bank loan agreement ano
issue their shares of preferred ano
common stock to stockholders OF
North American.
by this means" said Shea, leach
Of the four regional holding COM
panies would become independent OF
the others and each would own q
single integrated public utility sys-
tenn"
North American Co. is the first
big company in its field to propose
this method of meeting the death
sentence provision of the Utility Act
