STRAND

Walt Disney, Q man who has con- stantly turned the unusual into something utterly delightful does 1t again with his newest full-length Technicolor picturiSation of Major Alexander F. de Seversky's best seller, victory Through Air Power" currently playing at the Strand Theater through United Artists re. lease.
 Of all subjects, the flying majors aerial theses would seem the least likely fare for Q Disney imaginative pen. Air power is a problem full or technicalities such as horsepower lift, range, effective load, fire- power, armor, etc. And yet Disney has managed to endow Victory Through Air Power" with all the joy and entertainment that his le- zion of fans have come to expect from him.
 EnlarRing on the original theme of the book, Disney added . se- uuence of the history of aviation, and, continuing his trend of adding live.action scenes to the cartoon seuuences (started with Robert Bech I've in "The Reluctant Dragon1 he prevailed upon Major de Seversky to add acting to his many other ac- complishments. The major took to grease paint as easily as he had to living togs. The live-action scenes are forums in which de Seversky explains the air-power ideas that impelled him to write his book.
 "Vlctory Through Air Power" was longer in the making than most Disney features because Walt upped even his usual perfectionist stand ards while filming 1t. The subject, he says, was much too scientific for any careless lapse.

payments, dawned today hundreds
of persons stood in line at the local
post office, where nine windows were
opened and extra help manned the
money order windows. The deadline
for filing by mail is midnight TO-
night and the rush for money orders
is due in part to the fact that only

ceptable. Although business was
rather steady at the internal revenue
office. no tie-upS were noted since
many returns are beings sent by

COMMUNIST ISSUE
FACES REJECTION
Labor Party Meeting Re-
Veals Postwar British
Political ReaIignment
BY HARRISON SALISBURY
United Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
London, June 15.-CUP)-OutlineS
of a reaching postwar British
political realignment already are
visible in the outwardly placid labor
party Whitsuntide conference.
Party sessions practically are cut
and dried, with large blocks of votes
controlled by conservative union
chiefs determining issues, the out
come Of which are known in ad-
vance.
The two main issues before the
conference are:
l. Whether the political truce on
which the Churchill government is
based shall be continued.
2. Whether the Communist party
shall be allowed utilization.
The conference already has re-
jected proposals for breaking the
truce. The Communist issue will be
acted upon Wednesday and appears
certain to be rejected.
The absence of a major fight at
the labor session provides decep-
tive atmosphere or calm and con-
tentment. Actually the Labor party
is approaching the crossroads which
it can be expected to reach as soon
as the war ends. The question then
will be fought out on whether to &C
to the right or left or split down
the middle
The vote on the political truce
issues demonstrated the basic split
within the party. The truce was
supported by big unions whose bosses
were committed to the truse and
who were represented in the Chur-
chill cabinet.
Opposition was led by local Labor
leaders who have seen the magma
ton of those who would normally
support Labor candidates captured
repeatedly by government critics
such as Commonwealth party can
didateS, Independent and other left
wing fragments who already have
splintcred off the LABOR party.
They believe that the ConserVa-
tive party again is going to syphon
off the top layer of leaders, par
ticularly present Labor party men,
bers of the government such as
Ernest Bevin, Clement R. Atlee and
Herbert S. Morrison.
Such development would shear
off the right wing center of the
Labor party.
The splinter along the left wing
has been more and more pro-
nounced and practical local party
politicians readily can envisage 6
situation in which the party Woulc
be left with little more than a StuE
of is present strength, with hardly
more influence and voing power
than the present Liberal party.
