HOLLYWOOD.
Director Lloyd Bacon has spent
more than 20 years picking up the
tricks Of movie e-n1aking, but he says
he's going to forget every one of
them when he starts filming the
lives of the five fighting Sullivan
brothers.
Here is story that will stand
alone, without movie frills or the
atrical contrivances," the veteran
producer director declares. THE
job will be merely to present the
facts of these boys lives faithfully
and unadorned. If I can do it-and
I intend to do tive will have a
great photoplay."
The Sullivans, as every one knows
by now, were the five Waterloo,
Iowa. brothers who joined the Navy
together to avenge the death of a
pal at Pearl Harbor. served CALAMITY
together and finally, still together,
died in the destruction of the
cruiser Juneau off Guadalcanal last
November.
Because the job will be to deal
with facts. Bacon and Sam Jaffe,
co-producer, have retained a news
paper reporter to collaborate with
their screen writing staff.
The reporter is going to Waterloo
for month or more to interview
the Sullivans' boyhood friends,
their teachers, the parish priest,
neighborhood merchants and others
close to the family, to dig out half
forgotten facts with which to round
out the story.
Bacon and Jaffe have the main
facts already at hand, through the
boys parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
F. Sullivan.
They know, for instance, that the
two Oldest brothers, George and
Francis, who had served prior naval
enlistments, were listening to the
radio on December 7, 1941, when
news came that Pearl Harbor had
been attacked. They know the boys
learned next day that a friend, a
soldier, had been killed, and they
know how the Sullivans vowed re-
venge.
They All Went Together.
The -four older brothers, George,
%; Francis, 26; Joseph, %, and
Madison, %, we're all bachelors.
Only the youngest. Albert, 20, was
married, and he listened silently,
maybe a little grimly, as his BROTH
ers discussed their plans for en-
listment, and thought of his duty

Elmer Davis Defends
owl Against Attack
On Overseas Service
BY the Associated Pres

BY the Associated Press.
Elmer Davis, director of the Office
OF War Information, made a sharp
reply last night to Representative
Taber, Republican, of New York,
who has renewed his criticism of the
information agency.
Congressman Taber is wong as
usual said the owl director. He
says that our overseas activities are
getting worse instead of better. The
German and japanese agencies take
a different view.
For testimony as to our effective
ness, we can cite, among many
others japanese broadcast on Sep
tember by a spokesman of that
government who declared that we
must realize how skillfully the prop
aganda of the United States and
Britain is working, and we must see
IN the collapse of Italy an example
of this sharp reality
Mr.. Taber'S earlier attacks on
the agency have been extensively
and approvingly quoted by our
enemies Mr.. Davis continued. The
July 4 issue of Das Reich, magazine
of the German Propaganda Minis
try, said that the attack of Con-
gresham Taber has caused the
American public to look more closely
into the Owl, its men and its dollar
devouring giant machinery
AN attack on the war agency
that conducts American propaganda
against the enemy is of vital interest
to DR.. Goebbels. who has found our
activities increasingly effective. Mr..
Taber, in his attacks on Owl, can
count on a cheering section in Ber-
lin and Toxic
Mr.. Taber, calling owl operations
continuing menace" urged reor-
ganization of the agency and re-
placement of Mr.. Davis with "a
trained executive"

News Circulation
Problems Discussed
By the Associated pre,,

ATLANTA, Sept %. - Wartime
difficulties in placing newspapers in
the hands of readers who outnumber
the supply that may be printed
posed the problems brought here for
discussion today at the tWo-day pro-
gram of the emergency war con-
ference of the Southern Circulation
Managers Association.
Selected to Keynote one phase of
the program, B. K Neal of the
Mobile tAlaD Press-Register said
well-edited newspaper can still give
reader satisfaction. Less en-
phasls on features and more en-
phasls on news will in my opinion,
get reader acceptance, despite news
print curtailment.
Discussions Of transportation
problems included one led by Harry
G. Miller of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. who said that NEWSPAPERS
have been forced to close many or
sl of their motor routes" because
OF tire and gasoline rationing. He
said the Constitution had found
many subscribers willing to switch
to mail service except on their Sun
day papers. To avoid delivery of
Sunday papers on Monday, he re-
lated that Sunday only motor
routes had been established with
satisfaction to readers.
From c. j. Copeland, of the Jack
son (MissD Clarion-Ledge and
president Of the associa ton. came a
warning. however, that the time may
come when newspapers will have
to be passed from one reader to an
other and even when some persons
will find no newspaper available to
them.
