University of Washington coach and

The dour-faced Husky coach uses
the chewing gum as a sort of pat

there were enough tense moments
in last nights thriller against use

Seen Axis Doom
Control Of Air in Hands
of United Nations, Air
Force Aide Declares

Americas 800 per cent increase
in airplane production in 30 months
has sealed the Axis fate.
This conclusion was drawn to-
day by Maj. Nathaniel F. Silsbee,
chief OF the air research unit of
the war intelligence division, army
air force.
In a talk before the National
Screw Machine Products Associa-
ton at the Hotel Statler, Major
SilSbee declared:
Control of the air has passed
10 the United Nations. This II
true on all fronts and IL
marks the END of the begin
ming rather than the landing
In North Africa, as Churchill
stated"
Major Silsbee pointed out that
In 1899 the luftwsffe had 10000
planes and a million men. Their
aircraft industry was producing
$500 TO 1900 planes a month.
But our industrial miracle, he
said, has sent our production soar
ing from 800 planes a month in
June, 1910, 10 $500 in Deem
Der, 1912.
American plane production by
years was given at 5000 in 1910;
10000 in 1871 and $4,000 in 1912.
The Presidents goal was $4,000
In 1913 the sights are set for
100000.
Japan's plane production was
estimated at from $50 TO 1000 a
month with 10000 a year as the
top figure Major Silsbee dis
closed that the Japs used planes
superior to the Zefos but they
were still not in class with our
newer fighters.

Mountain Greenstreet. It seems he
has some bogus Russian plans for
invading Turkey. II he can get
them published in Turkish news
papers, he figures 1t will 80 annoy
the people that they will swing i'm
mediately to the Axis side. The OBJ
ject of Raft is to keep the papers
out of the Na1 agents hands, an
enterprise In which he has the
highly suspect collaboration Of the
Russians, who are represented by
LORE.
Once that premise is established,
Background to Danger" becomes
one of the most hectic spy and
counterspy plots since the E. Phillips
Oppenheim formula became obso-
lete. Even the screen play author,
w. r. Burnett, must have been sur
prised at some of the writings Of
the story. When the wrong char
acter seems to be getting the upper
hand, he either Is slugged into un-
consciousness or killed outright
which is a quick, if not always sensi-
BILE, method Of getting the action
back on the right track. The right
track, Of course. is that which will
put Turkey on the right side before
the story can end. = development
which Warmers obviously hoped
would happen coincidentally with
the release Of the picture. After
all, that is what happened in the
case Of "Casablanca" which was
greatly profited by the coincidence
that the United Nations captured 1t
as If by instruction Of the studios
publicity department.
In addition to being false in the
majority Of its passages aimed for
excitement, Background to Danger"
misses fire in respect to its comedy
and romantic interludes. The former
actually makes a rather brave start
in presenting LORE as not merely
the killer he always has been in
pictures but as a capricious mite
of Russian whose answer to any
Illustration is a scream for vodka
That could be quite funny, but in
this instance it is not. As for the
romance between Raft and Miss
Marshall. 1t is almost painfully free
from suspense, which never is good
for romance whether it be first or
second hand.
The performers in BACKGROUND

The theme of Background to

nations to shake Turkey loose from

worth following-in the screen script
based upon Eric Ambler's novel. One

1t is the Congress that makes

is often the political party which
has a good deal to do with how
the laws are made and how they
