SUDDEN RIFT TAKES PLACE, FRENCH RANKS

ALGIERS, June 3.-A cleavage in the Fighting French ranks devel- oped suddenly last night when Gen. Georges Catroux broke with Gen. Charles De Gaulle for whom he had acted as liaison man in prelimin- ary unity negotiations with Gen. Henri Giraud
 Catroux who had paved the way for the ud-deGaulle talks now seeking to establish unified French administration in Algiers, announced he had ceased political collaboration with the Fighting French leader because of heated wranglings."
 This unexpected development, which might jeopardiZe or at least delay formation of French cen tral executive committee, transpired few hours after General Giraud had named Vice Admiral Emile Muselier his deputy chief of staff.
 Muselier, reputedly bitter critic of De Gaulle since the latter de- posed him from a Fighting French naval command, was charged by Giraud with the task of assuring order" in Algiers and a surround ing radius of forty miles.
 The American and British min- isters to North Africa, Robert D. Murphy and Harold MacMillan, told newsmen they were confident a final agreement will be reached today when Giraud and De Gaulle meet with their respective aides to decide on complete composition of the governing committee.
 Though some Giraudist circles accused De Gaulle of having put over a fast one" in hastening to reply to and announce Peyrouton's resignation, the Fighting French chief tonight displayed desire tc aSSuage hurt feelings.

HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood is sitting on millions and millions Of dollars worth of stories which can not be filmed.
 Many best selling novels and plays the public would like to see. but, to use a Hollywood phrase, they are mot scheduled for production. !"
 The initial cost of a script is usually the smallest item in pro- ducing it. For, after purchase, writers are put on the story. These men get from $500 to sS2 800 week. They may work for months before discovering the story is impossible to screen.
 The most famous case is The Yearlings It was purchased by MGM for approximately s100000. Spencer Tracy was to play it, and the studio undertook costly loca- tion trip to Florida for background shots. The shooting script was en- tirely written. Then it was discov- cred that there was no one in town who could play the young boy. The picture was shelved, with esti- mates running from $250,000 to $l 100000 on how much had all ready been spent.
 There are many other reasons why stories are not made.
 Most often, an important prop erty is bought for particular star who suddenly becomes "unavail- able" either by switching to an- other studio or quitting pictures entirely. Such was the case of -Four

CHINESE BESTING

Japanese Base al lChdng in Danger 3O,OOO
 Nippons Killed

CHUNGKING, June 3.-Chinese troops are continuing to advance along the Yangtzse River from Central China and have recaptured the town of Changyang, 12 miles south of the Jap base at Ichang.
 The Chinese have also occupied the Yangtze port of Chihkiang, 35 miles below Ichang.
 The Chinese Army spokesman announces that Japanese troops are being driven back toward the south bank of the river on the whole upper Yangtze front.
 The spokesman said the Japanese used altogether about 100000 troops in the battling and they have now suffered 30,000 casualties.
 A communique from Stillwells headquarters announces that ten ter-offensive blows were struck by the Fourteenth Air Force on May 31 in support of the Chinese Army at Lake Tungting. Liberators are credited With deStructlon oI zo Jap fighter planes.
 Imperial Tokyo Headquarters tacitly admitted a setback in fierce battles west of Tungting Lake, where GeneraliSsimo Chiang Kali shek's armies have been fighting to defend China's vital rice bowl lands and the route to the wartime capital of Chungking.
 The Tokyo Command, resorting to its familiar propaganda tech nique of explaining reverse, said Japanese troops had successfully completed operationsr in the ske region and had killed or wounded 36,300 Chinese and captured 5,923 prisoners against a Japanese loss of 475 killed in action.
 The Japanese also said that a crushing offensive" had been car ried out against 120,000 Chungking defense troops in the sector oppo- site Ichang, main Japanese base on the Yangtze River, where the Chi nese reported that five Japanese divisions had been thrown into disorderly retreat.

On closer examination II
turned out TO be a blue ribbon
tied around the left leg just

From II hung a two-inch, old
fashioned. hollow stem key.
Instead Of untying the knot
the absorbed sheriff borrowed
the physicians bandage scissors
and with these he carefully cut
the ribbon off the member at
the opposite side from the knot.
