Katina Paxinou was the one for the

Like the sketch. But she had all
that strength, had it inside, played
it that way. And it's much more
effective That's the way 1t should
be, played from inside"
The cast had a tumble Of accents,
from Akin Tamiroff's Russian, In
grid Bergman's Swedish, Katina
Paxinou's Greek, to the Mexican Of
Arturo de Cordova and an occasional
Italian voice or two. That did not
worry Sam Wood.
They ell play Spaniards, all ex-
cept Gary Cooper, who's an Amer
lean talking Spanish" Mr.. Wood
explained. Since they're all talking
a foreign language, it's all right for
them to have accents. Cooper didn't
need one. We don't use any Spanish
words. We couldn't. We're supposed
to realize the dialogue is all Spanish,
anyway"
There are quite few other words
Mr.. Wood does not use. The Bells" "

does not see why it should have been
written as a dirty book. Maybe. he

Mr.. Wood continued. ''It depends
on the casting, too. I've never had
any trouble with the Hays Office. 1t S
better, I've found, to be frank be-
forehand, to tell just what you in
tend to do and why you're doing 1t.
Sometimes they object. I tell them
I'm going ahead with the scene, and,
if they don't like it later, they can
take 1t out. They never take it out"
His new picture required four
months of shooting high up in the
mountains. often with temperature
of 4 above zero. Then the scene
would be changed to locale with a
blistering hot climate. The cast
stood up we'll. So did the director.

remembered, land we needed to be.
That was hard work. You can't
drive. You have to lead. I had to
be ahead of them all the time. 1t
was fortunate that they were all
nice people. There might have been
real trouble, 200 people so far away
from their homes for four months,
living in that terribly high altitude.
We had to do things to keep up their
morale, as the Army does for its
camps. We showed pictures at night
and tried to keep the morale high.
Paxinou is a fine cook. She liked
to cook us wonderful supper some
times. Cooper enjoyed hunting.
Bergman is happy person, no
problems, no unhappiness at home,
just a fine actress and a lovely per-
son. We were lucky about that The

battalion Is in North Africa.
Add hundreds of these bits of in
formation together, and our enemies
have too-accurate estimate of Amer
lean military strength.
Reporting of personal experiences
and observations Of Eiy's soldiers on
overseas service, however, as The
Miner has done and will continue to
do, gives the enemy no military in
formation II the troop units and the
names of ships are not revealed. But
when complete addresses are given, the
location of military units is disclosed.
Insofar as sailors are concerned,
there is one exception The name of a
sailors ship can be printed if military
authorities have already stated that
the ship was in a given area or in
voIved In certain actions. Thus, In the
exploits of the San Francisco, 1t was
permissible to say that an Ely sailor
was aboard because the navy had Civ
en- complete facts on the action and
its location
There is no objection for newspapers
to print, or relatives to reveal that
Private John Jones Is In North Africa,
but to say that Private Jones Of Co. C.,
I77th Inf, Is In North Africa is vioaat-
ing military rule. An enemy agent may
have rfsixed his life to find this out,
and then have some thoughtiess per-
son give it to him without even asking.
Complete addresses of army men
stationed within the continental Dor
ders Of the United States can be pub
lished. with only few exceptions
The Office Of Censorship says: I'VE
ask editors not to publish overseas
troop identificaticIls, and we ask par
ents and relatives not to reveal them"
Friends of overseas servicemen, how
ever, can secure complete addresses
from relatives Of such men If they
want to correspond with them.
