PEACE AT LAST

the final vanishment of Vaughan
Dunbar in my cottage at Gull

ter to dispose of my one servant,
a Negro boy of the most elemen-

the rather generous dose OF cal

mood. It was not difficult to per-
suade him to go to his aunt for
q few days.
1t was necessary TO work with
great swiftness after the game.
Though, contrariwise, it was not
necessary to prepare the dis

meticulous care. His appearance
would be of the briefest time. He

Today I met a very beautiful
young lady, fell in love with her,
kissed her and became engaged in
exactly four minutes % seconds.
Anywhere else it would be grounds
for divorce, for an old married man
with wife and two children. But
in Hollywood they call it a screen
test.
And believe me, making love to
beautiful young lady you've just
met, in front of SO people on a
hollywood test stage. is an ordeal
I'll never go through again. 1t
looks like fun but it isn't. And
having the young lady describe
your kissing technique as dainty
is grounds for libel we think.
It happened like this:
Director Lloyd Bacon was moan
ing at lunch about the difficulties
of finding five unknown actors to
play the heroic Sullivan Brothers in
"The Sullivans.'" OF how he had
screen tested at least go actors for
the roles and was still looking. This
Immediately gave the studio press
agent, Irving Rubine, a very bril-
liant idea.
why don't you make screen
test?" he said. Great idea. Co.
lossal idea. You make screen
test, tell the people all about it..
Your reactions, etc. You can hold
a beautiful girl in your arms
and E"
FRAMEUP
I tried to run, but three other
press agents ganged up on me and
led me to the test stage, where a
beautiful young lady named Trudy
Marshall was waiting. I knew then
it was no sudden inspiration. 1t
was premeditated.
Trudy smiled hello" and I felt
better about it all. Maybe it wasn't
going to be so bad Besides, the
three press agents were guarding
all the exist. They explained the
deal to Trudy and she didn't mind
She said she had made love in
front of Director Bacon'S camera
with 60 other testees. One more,
she said. didn't make much diff
ference.
Just them Director Bacon showed
me onto a couch, said I was AL
that Trudy was Katherine Mary
and that we were in love. He had
me read a couple of lines and that
was cinch. Then he showed me
script passage which read:
spontaneously they are in each
others arms, and they kiss. They
manage it aWkWardly, kid-like, but
there's a real fervor in it," The
stage direction said that AL was
deeply stirred and gives IAN ecstatic
sigh"
My head started to swim and I
silently cursed press agent named
I. Rubine. Then things cleared
and Director Bacon was saying,
TITS very simple. Just take her in
your arms, tell her you love her
and go into clinch."

French TO Punish
German Butchers
By UNITED PRESS

A new German campaign against
the French underground was e.
ported Thursday as spokesman for
the French National Committee of
Liberation warned the NaZi occu-
patton authorities and the Vichy
government that they will be held
accountable "in blood" for every
French death.
The German Transocean news
agency, in a broadcast heard by
government monitors at New York,
reported that DR.. Jolicoeur, iden-
titled as secretary-general of JAG
ques Doriot's pro-Nazi French pop
ular party in the Marne depart
ment, was shot and killed yester-
day at Rheims.
The Swiss Journal De Geneve, in
a dispatch reported to the owl,
said the new Nazi terror swept
through occupied France between
Sept. 6 and 16, apparently in an
effort to stamp out the French
underground movement.

4 Capture of Gomel would unhinge
the whole German defense system
in southeastern white Russia. The
northern and central defenSeS al
ready were threatened by a Rus
sian drive through the Smolensk
gate toward Vitebsk, Orsha, and
Mogilev.
In their first announced thrust
beyond the east bank of the
Dnieper, the Russians yesterday
seized Trukhanov island opposite
Kiev, after smashing the last enemy
resistance to the east with the
capture of Darnitsa. The Dnieper
at this point is only l,050 feet wide,
but the bluffs on which Kiev is
built rise 600 feet.
The battle for crossings of the
Dnieper entered the decisive stage
with the seizure of Trukhanov is
land and Kremenchug, 160 miles
downstream and the largest city on
the east bank. Red Star quoted
German prisoners that Adolf Hitler
had ordered Kremenchug held at
all costs as springboard for
counter attacks to stem the Soviet
offensive
Deprived of their strongest bridge
on the east bank, the Germans
were reported fighting desperately
to extricate the remainder of their
battered forces from footholds at
Zaporozhe and opposite Dnepro-
petrovSk.
Thousands of Germans struggling
to reach the west bank opposite
Kiev and Kremenchug were said to
have drowned in the Dnieper or
been killed by shells or bullets from
pursuing Red air force planes.
"a German communique broad
cast by the Berlin radio said Nazi
troops "bloodily repulsed" Rus
sion attacks near zaporozhe. The
Russians are using ruthleSsly fresh
divisions with air support" the
communique said. 1t also reported
that a German counter attack
threw the Russians from a bridge
head on the west bank of the
middle Dnieper in terrain which
was difficult TO observe" Farther
north. the Germans were said to
have carried out orderly move
ments" despite difficult weather
and terrain
Front dispatches said the Rus
slams broke through the miles
deep hedgehog defense belt around
Kremenchung and captured the
city in a savage three-day battle.
POWERFUL THRUST
"At literally the last minute be-
fore the decisive Russian attack"
the Communist newspaper Pravda
said, "the Germans hurled a fresh
division from the west bank with
which they hoped to turn the scale,
but the coordinated Soviet thrust
was too swift and too powerful.
The enemy forces were broken
up, the command disorganized and
panicky retreat began. Tanks
loaded with tommy gunners smash
cd through the streets pursuing the
Germans to crossings, while swarms
Of Soviet assault bombers pounded
