Ernest Pascal, screen writer has
picked the high points Of the dar-
ing life Of the courageous author
for dramatization. Beginning with
London's early life as an oyster
pirate on San Francisco Bay, the
story follows the author-to-be
through his fighting, rough-and-
tumble existence on a sealing YES
sci; through his battle against the
elements as a gold hunter in the
Yukon and finally to his appear
ance on the American scene as a
foremost and beloved author. A
little known side of London's
career, that of war-correspondent,
plays vital part in the unfolding
story His coverage Of the Russo
Japanese War emerges as a dra-
matte expose of the double-dealing
Japs.
The warmly romantic story of
Jack London's wooing-and winning
of c n armi ian Kittredge runs
through the entire film.
Virginia Mayo, luscious, blonde
newcomer is featured in the Sec
ond feminine lead. A cast of such
competent players as Frank Cra-
ven, Ralph Morgan, Harry Daven-
port, Louise Beavers, Regis Too
mey and Morgan Conway supply
brilliant support under Alfred San
tells swiftly paced direction.

make Hollywood realize that what
the public was fed up on was not
war pictures, but the kind Of war
pictures Hollywood had been MAX
ing.
"All that boop-de-boop, flag wav-
ing technique all the high
falutin' heroism and the grille
whirly stuff on the battlefield"
wrote one U. S. flier between
bombing missions. "Why don't they
picture all Of US as scared to hell
every time ,ye approach the enemy
and more scared after we have real
ly engaged him
Maybe if our people saw pic
lures of actual happenings, actual
conversations and reactions, maybe
they wouldn't believe it. Be that as
it may, those war pictures certainly
give US a laugh-and at times make
US pretty mad"

lumbia now has the following films
scheduled: one of the '90s (Klon-
dixie Kate), two of the 80s (Gone

HINT TAKEN. Hollywood hasn't
been stampeded out of making war
pictures, however. The Owl mo-
tion picture division has taken in
ventory of 669 pictures-124 await
ing release and 545 being filmed or
in preparation-and reports that
Ola nave war angles.
The Owls findings indicate that
Hollywood took the hint from men
in service and is giving more real
istic treatment to camp and combat
and the enemy. More films are
about trainees, Owl finds. Warfare
is treated with less melodrama.
There are Is pictures about enemy
agents where last years checkup
showed 81 spy melos.
There is better definition Of the
issues we fight for and ideology we
fight against. War issues are
touched on by 81 films, compared
with ID last year. The essential ma
ture of fascism is brought out more
clearly.
Better Balance
Also there is better balance be-
tween the different branches of the
armed forces, between the fighting
front and the civilian front, and
between the Individual United Ma
tions.
There are so films dealing with
the home and production fronts to
balance 107 about the fighting
forces. The United Nations group
has four films about the Fighting
French as against one last year,
and IA with Latin-American back
grounds compared with two last
year.
However, the OWL points out
that there are yet no films about
Belgium, Greece, the Union of
South Africa, or New Zealand.
Among the 357 escapist items of
the film inventory, the Owl finds

from four to six points per pound
canned tomato juice at the rate OF
one point per pound, except for
smaller cans up to IA ounces, which
remain unchanged.
Frozen Fruit Juices Cut.
Decreases - Frozen fruit juices
from four to two points per pound
Canned or bottled beans are to be
changed in various sizes, with some
increases and some decreases, but
the average will remain unchanged,
OPA said.
The increase in point values OF
frozen foods was the expected trend
now that the 1943 crop of these
foods is coming to market. Earlier
in the year, when warehouses were
jammed with the 1912 pack and
space was needed for the oncoming
1943 crop, OPA cut point values
temporarily to facilitate sale of last
years products.
Tomato Juice Trend Reversed.
The increase on tomato juice re-
versed a long series of decreases, in
dicating that in its former efforts to

spur sales Of tomato Juice, officials
went a trifle too far, in considera-
ton of the supply.
Altogether the changes were about
the fewest of any month since proc
essed food rationing started in
March.
Making the August stamps good
until September will not affect the
quantity of processed fruits and
vegetables that can be bought by
the stamps, but may make it easier
for housewives to select the foods
for which they wish to use the
stamps. Formerly, the overlap of
one months stamps in the next
month was only one week. OPA Of
f1cials said this caused many house
holders to rush to spend their points
before they expired without being
able to determine fully which foods
they would need most.

large number Of WACS will ask their
discharge before the organization
formally becomes a part of the
Army September /. Those now
serving will be required to take a
new oath of allegiance, and, mean
while, any who choose may drop
out.
Results of a survey at various
posts where WACS are serving have
been spotty, but reports from some
stations indicate that up to 80 per
cent of the personnel plans to with
draw when the corps is officially alb
sorbed in the Army.
Despite emphatic denials from
Secretary of War Stimson and other
officials that contraceptives were

Blue point rationing stamps for
August will overlap the September

valid until September 20, according
to new Office of Price Administra-
ton ruling.
Simultaneous with that an
nouncement last night, OPA listed
several changes in point values
which will become effective August

Increases-Frozen fruits and ber-
ries from six to nine points per

New Health Rules Asked
In MONTGOMERY Restaurants

New regulations for eating and
drinking establishments in Mont
gomery County have been placed
before the county commissioners by
the County Health Department.
Under the proposed regulations. a
health permit must be obtained
from the county health officer in
order to operate a restaurant. A
sign grading the establishment A.
B or c then will be issued and must
be displayed in the restaurant.
A grade C restaurant may operate
only for temporary 30-day periods,
thus providing time to make
changes necessary for an A or B
rating.

FOOD GRIPERS

Today something happened in our mess hall that filled me With soorn; then pity. Now it is jsst plain disgust.
 Let's present this case from all sides. First of all, there are many, many people eating three meals a day on this Base. How many, say a 100 or less, would like the same thing at the same time? Perhaps ten, even that is high.
 All of you have had this ex- perience at home. Mother cooked the best meal in the world, in your estimation, but did Dad or Sis like it? Chances are they didn't. Did they turn up their nose, glare at her and say, "That was a heluya meal," and walk off in high dis dain to call or gripe to the neigh bors? You bet they didn't. Because they knew she had done the best she could with the things she had in the house.
 So what? l can hear you ask We'll here's WHAT.
 There are millions in the world today that would give their soul for the poorest meal you ever had CT ever will have on this Base.
 How many of you know what it is to go for months with nothing but black bread or a half pound of rice that must last six weeks at time? How many of you have seen the pot-bellied skeleton of a small child or a baby crying beside a dead mother?
 1 know none of you have. But when hear one of you gripe about your food and see you throw away enough to feed four such children 1 wish to goodness you could see them, live with them for two or three months.
 If you could gripe or not eat anything that was placed in front of you after that, then you're not fit to be called American.
 I know the futility of writing this because those that are at fault cannot or will not change. Their type must learn the hard way.
