GASOLINE BLACK MARKET

Charging that black market drain
age of gasoline supplies in both the
Midwest and East is making first
class farce of the so-called national
equalization" for gas allotment, Key
stone Automobile Club has demanded
that OPA act quickly in setting up
rationing controls to guarantee East
ern motorists the benefits promised
as a result of reduced Midwest gas
coupon values.
"Black market OPERATIONS are vir-
tually unhampered under a system
SO open to abuse and evasions as is
the present one," declared r. j.
Quinn, Acting Manager of the Club.
"As consequence, additional trans
portation facilities now available to
help ease the plight of the Eastern
car owner are going to waste be-
cause little or nothing is being done
to stop racketeer rings fro msiphon-
ing off vital supplies from legitimate
channels of distribution.
1--WE have repeatedly urged dras-
tic revision of the present inefficient
and inequitable system of gasoline
rationing. Eastern motorists want no
further delay in the fulfilment of
promises held out to them for some
thing nearer an equal status with
their Midwestern fellow-citizens In
the matter of gas for their automo-
biles.
Congressman Hartley, of New
Jersey, chairman Of Congressional
Committee investigating the petro-
leum problem, has revealed that pre-
sently available pipeline, lake tanker
and barge facilities could have trans
ported an additional 10000 barrels
of petroleum products per day into
the Eastern seaboard area during the
past several weeks-if the products
had been available.
when it is realized that II this
10000 barrels of transportation had
been employed for the movement of
gasoline into the East, A-card ra-
tons could have been increased
from one-and-a-half gallons per week
to four gallons per week. it Is easy
to understand why no time should
be lost In inaugurating effective
means for swift humiliation Of the
vicious black market In all affected
| sections Of the country"

Behind the screen: Back of
any big motion picture which
flows so serenely on the screen
is usually a history of something
akin to chaos. Particularly is
this true of films made ION To-
cation" More particularly is it
true of the motion picture,
"Commandos Strike at Dawn"
which was made by Producer
Lester Cowan on location at
Vancouver Island, British Co.
lumbia, 400 miles. from home
plate. Any distant location usu-
ally proves troublesome.
When that location is in for
eign country, and there's a war
going on, and transportation is
upset and communications not
up to standard, you can expect
that peculiar things will hap
pen. They did with "Comman-
dos Strike at Dawn"
When cast and crew of IS
were assembled for the 1400-
mile trip it was discovered that
all males in the group must have
releases from their draft boards.
In some cases these could not be
obtained. So weeks went by be-
fore a complete crew could be
found.

grafton officials said no one
needed a birth certificate to get
into Canada, but no one could
get back without it. Joe Lefert, a
Belgian who was assigned as as
sistant director, got as far as
Seattle, Wash, and spent nine
weeks in a hotel there without
ever getting to his job in Can

For the big Commando raid
on a Nazi airport, great clear
ing of farm land was used. The
farmers of the area gave the
land without charge, but after
two days of shooting the raid, in
which hundreds of pounds of
dynamite and thousands of
rounds of ammunition were
used, the cows within a radius of

them lost an appalling amount
of weight. The farmers could not
afford this and there is a charge

Unlike most big movie scenes,
the raid sequences were shot
without "retakes," and Director
John FarroW and his assistants
spent many sleepless night

TRAVELLING WAS TOUGH

tt anspo rting the 95 members
of the company to Canada was a
minor miracle. Although the trip
is ONLY two days by train with
an additional four hours by boat,
two weeks were required to as
semble the group in Victoria.
BY the time the picture was
completed, the transportation
problem had become consider
ably more severe Returning to
Hollywood, Paul MUM had to
change trains twice because of
troop movements, and then
made the last 500 miles of the
trip through the sweltering San
Joaquin Valley in a day coach on
which the cooling system
broke. He was looking forward
to a cold shower when the train
struck an oil truck 30 miles
from Hollywood and was de-
layed three hours.
Arriving in Hollywood, NUM-
was met at the station by a tele-
graph messenger with wire
from Producer Cowan. who was
still in Canada. Dear Paul" the
wire read, Hope you have had
lovely trip and feel we'll

Fishbein is always willing TO
discuss bridge hands with begin
ner and expert alike. Here is
the hand he gave me as his out
standing hand of 1912. Sitting
South, Fishbein won the OPEN
ing lead and at once cashed the
ace and king of hearts. Then he
ruffed a low spade and started
to run the clubs.
West could do no good by
ruffing a club, for then he would
have to lead a diamond or else
set up the king of spades, to
which dummy would have
trump entry. Therefore West let
all the clubs win. Fishbein dis
carded all of dummy's dia-
monds. AS West had to bare his
spade ace in order to save three
diamonds, South now led the six
of diamonds, ruffed in dummy,
and then ruffed a spade. Now
when he led the last trump. West
had only the two diamonds left
and had to lead into Souths
tenace.

ELEANOR CHARMED THEM

They saw all the sights - SUI
preme Court, Lincoln Memorial,
and so on, ending up at the
White House Tuesday morning.
Only ID of the As turned out on
the first call for the White House
visit, but they ran there, about
four blocks from where they
stayed two-in-a-S10-room. Stray
glers swelled the number to over
40 but the last man missed the
formation. That was Priv I e
Easton. He got to the White
House front door but a footman
there wouldn't let him in.
Mrs. Roosevelt charmed the
soldiers into the closest they
came in surrendering. Eleanor
knew all about paratrooping,
and she told the boys some
things they didn't know about
operations of another paratroop
unit in Africa. One of the SOL
diers wondered If the Presidents
wife had been there with 'em.
On the Presidents desk, one
of the men left his silver wings,
Paratrooper's most treasured
possession.
Only man who didn't run
through all this was Technical
Sergt. c h pm a n, who had
sprained an ankle in landing
after a jump just before the par
ty was to leave for Washington.
That did not stop him. He came
along and really had more fun
than anyone else. Everywhere
he went, celebrities autograph
ed his plaster cast. He'll prob
ably wear that thing right into
Germany.

It's a tossup whether the AS

or whether Washington took the
As Paratroopers, but anyway
nobody who had anything to do
with the affair will ever be the
same again, except maybe the
troopers, and Berlin had better
look out if these boys start drop
ping in with their tommyguns.
For without weapons of any
kind, bare handed and with only
their $1,000 capital, this detail of
As took Washington from Cap
itol Hill to the social heights Of
Georgetown in the short space
between Sunday morning after
breakfast to Tuesday evening
b efore supper, storming the
White House and Eleanor just
for luck and by way of last
stop.
Bert Brandt, the Acme pho
tographer who tried to keep up
with these As Paratroopers for
some 60 hours of their 72-hour
leave, is now total wreck. But
so are the dowagers, debutantes,
diplomats and statesmen who
entertained them and - well,
maybe it's just as good the Para
troopers have gone back to Fort
Bragg, N. c.
1t all began when somebody in
the headquarters company of
the 504th Airborne Infantry de-
cided it would be nice for some
of the boys to take little vaca-
ton in Washington. They had no
oney in particular, though
Paratroop soldiers get $50 and
their officers $100 a month ex-
ira pay. But it takes more than
lack of funds TO stop Para
trooper.

like that.
Forty-five soldiers signed UP
for the junket. They sent along
as advance man Sergt. Techni-

rived in Washington Saturday
night and started to arrange
things. From there on the rest of
Washington's social whirl went
into comparative slow motion,
stopped colder than a strobo-
scopic freeze. Everywhere the
troopers went they went dou-
bletime. Going from one party
to another in Georgetown Sun
day night, they made a wrong
turn and went two miles out of
their way, but they arrived less
than Is minutes late, and with
wonderful appetites for food and
dancing that lasted until neNrly
midnight Then they broke up
into smaller private parties in
various apartments aroun d
