II don't want any more silly ques-
tions," says the sergeant to the boys
on the rehearsal set of This Is the
Army" This is a studio. Time
means money here If you have any
silly questions, ask them in your own
time and not on studio time. This
is an expensive picture. And now, "
he suddenly roars, snap into It'll"
That, my friends, is how they
make an Army picture in a Holly
wood studio.
Some of the boys are on the stage,
row upon row. as in the theater
version of the Irving Berlin success.
Others are sprawled on seats In the
auditorium. Most of them are
asleep. The wakeful ones indulge
in catcalls at their comrades on
the stage.
Sgt. Philip Truck, son OF the stage
and screen veteran, Ernest Truck,
explains that the sleepy soldiers do
not like getting up in the morning
at 6 to report at Warmers for their
movie. They are not used to it,
he says.
But I thought all soldiers had to
get uD at the crack of dawn, and
that's why Irving Berlin wrote that
song about numbering the bugler," "
replies this reporter.
Were different" says Young
Truck. "Since last July 4, when
This Is the Army opened on the
stage, we've been getting up at 10
am. because of the late hours of
the show. Now we have to report
on the lot for reveille at $50"
As most Of the boys live a long
way from the studio it means rising
with the rooster. 1'
The movie version is the final
American stop for the play which
to date has turned over more than
81 100000 to the Army emergency
relief. The profits from the picture
and sheet music is expected to add
$4,000 900 to 5000 900 more.
There is 4 possibility that when
the movie is completed the company
will journey to England. The SOL
dier- factors will not object, but they
would prefer to do some fighting,
and hope their next chore is in a
theater Of war as commands. In

he movie heroines OF her genera

ton.
High lights Of this momentous
journey are the battles fought en-
route. The Mary Ann is fighting
for her life, and your life, through
many long and violent sequences in
Air Force" Dramatic battles they
are, but the in-between excitement
runs almost as high.
This derives from that which to
an airman is routine. 1t is far from
routine, however, to the layman.
There is, for instance, the matter
of f-factness to the crew of the
flight from Hawaii to Wake Island.
That Is the surface OF the thing.
Underneath there is the humping
drama of this giant, man-made bird
looking through the mists and the
darkness and the storms for a land
ing place that is tiny dot in a
gigantic expanse of water. It Is
conveyed to the audience forcefully
and with more simplicity than you
ever were given to believe Hollywood
had at its command. 1t Is that way
with simplicity and restraint
chat Mary AIMS story Is told. And
when it does break out with the
deadly violence that was Manila or
Midway, the contrast is splendidly to
the advantage of the picture.
The people in "Air Force are the
people IN the Army Air Forces. They
are cogs in a vast, destructive
machine but they are always human
cogs. There is the bitter, disillu-
stoned, grousing tail gunner played
by Garfield; the old hard-bitten but
sentimental sergeant, who is i'm
personated by Carey; the nervous
navigator; the gentle. efficient pilot
captain; the Jewish corporal from
Brooklyn, and a core of others.
They constitute a pretty wonder
full crew of wonderful bomber, to
whom they give life OF grandeur,
of comedy, tragedy and all the
elements that belong in an extraor-
dinarily fine motion picture.
Harry Anger might excusably
have defaulted on this weeks stage
show at the Earle, If he had not
been Harry Anger. Being so, he put
eoeetheroQ5 bright. brief minutes

behind the "feverish searching" for
the framework of peace and a reor-
ganized world sis the illusion that
once we have found a perfect plan
the rest will be easy and operate
automatically"
Such planning, of course, is neces-
sary, he said, but grandiose
scheme for a finer world organiza-
ton is useless without worldwide
concepts of responsibility, decency
and fair play. The Nation needs
dedication to higher standards of
conduct among capital and labor
and those in public as well as private
life, he said, and when this Is ac-
complished democracy will have
come of age"
President John L. Newcomb of
the University conferred degrees on
191 graduates of the June section of

others were graduated in September,

Legal Action to Restrain
Contractors Is Discussed,
But Regarded as Futile

Hope of preventing establishment
by the Federal Public Housing Au-
thority of two temporary trailer
camps in Alexandria was aban-
doned today following a conference
between City Manager Carl Bud
wesky and City Attorney Armistead
Boothe. They discussed the posi-
bility Of taking legal steps to re-
strain the contractors who already
have started work on the project.
Mr.. Budwesky announced today
that he and Mr.. Boothe have de-
termined that the powers Of the
Government under the Second War
Powers Act are so broad that any
attempt to enjoin or prosecute the
private contractors would be futile
Mr.. Boothe and Mr.. Budwesky
have agreed that any further effort
to stop the project would only place
the community in a position of OBJ
structing the war effort.
The camps. now under construc-
ton, are to house so white and so
colored employees Of Fort Belvoir
and will be used only until perma-
nent housing for the families Is
completed early in the fall at Fort
Belvoir.
