Hollywood he has done every

The best actor on the set when
Gregory Ratoff is directing a
picture is Gregory Ratoff.
I'll never forget the time /
first met Ratoff. 1t was one of
those tensely dramatic scenes
which pop up like the regularity
of options in Hollywood. The
hero was on his deathbed. Be-
side him the pathetic, fearful
heroine daubed at her eyes with
a soggS handkerchief AT her
feet the family dog barked and
groWled.
Everything was as it should
be, said Ratoff, except that the
dog was not lending the correct
amount of enthusiasm TO his
thespian efforts. Calling in a
thick accent to the dogs trainer,
Ratoff said:
Look, this is how your dog
should react to this scene"
Then, getting down on his
hands and knees, Gregory Rat
off barked and growled like a
dog.
AS for the accent, the gags,
and the gestures, don't let him
fool you. 1t gets him a lot of
copy. Like this.

HORRIBLE EXAMPLE,!
Government officials interested
in checking initiation and the
black market are pointing now
to PueKto Rico as the horrible
example Of what happens when
price and rationing controls get
out of hand. One recent report to
the Puerto Rican Chamber of
Commerce lists these retail pric-
eS:
Cigarets, rs cents a pack; to-
matoes, 40 cents q pound; pota-
toes, 35 cents pound; local
poultry, 81 a pound; ham and
bacon, 81 to $1.50 a pound; goat
meat go per cent bone), rs
cents pound.
So short is the meat supply
that old-fashioned rustling of
livestock has broken out in some
parts of the island and the au-
thorities have been faced with a
formidable black market.

committee under Dennis Chavez

AcuteneSs of metal shortages
is indicated by two recent Wash

WPB, reducing to 5 per cent the
tin content of toothpaste tubes,
will save only 100 tons of tin,
but that saving is important. An
other order issued by the Army,
replacing metal buttons on sold
iers' uniforms with nodded plas-
tic, will save only $50 tons of
brass, but that too is considered
important.

Stews, Salads, Soups
Carrots Are Good in All

The carrot is an all-purpose vege-
table. 1t can be used in stews. pot
roasts, soups and chowders. It goes
into vegetable loaves, into sand
witches, and into salads.
Raw carrot is one Of the best salad
joiners. You can shred the carrots
or cut them-in slender sticks, In
thin round slices, or in cubes.
Shredded carrots and cabbage
make simple salad that's in season
throughout the year. Use a salad
dressing to hold the vegetables to-
gether. You may add ground pea
nuts for variety. Shredded carrot
in nodded gelatin salad is a great
favorite, especially if you use q
fruit-perhaps home canned peaches
or oranges when they are in season.
For sandwiches with crunch and
flavor, use grated carrot with
chopped raisins, prulnes, home dried
peaches or apples and salad dress
ing. Or, just use creamed butter
with carrots chopped fine.

Not until the history Of the war is

done it by coming down in force,
but even their minor efforts were

Vice Admiral Mccain. ''Those young
pilots took beating unequaled in
the annals of war. Without relief,
they fought day after day, night aft
er night, for weeks"
The toughest job was getting in
supplies, and there were dozens Of
instances of heroism in that work.
In the early stages of the invasion,
the planes at Henderson Field were
running short of fuel, mainly due to
losses of stored gasoline from enemy
bombing. 1t was finish for the ma

through the Jap gantlet, in the dead
of night, at full speed, and landed
the gasoline at Lunga Point, near
Henderson Field. We learned later
that the planes on Guadalcanal
would have been bone dry next
morning if he hadn't got through.

the ship back to safe port where
she has since been repaired and is
again in service. That's the kind Of
boys we had out there"
On Guada1canal, the marines were
learning fast, too. ''It was tough at
first" says the admiral, with the
Japs setting off their silly fireworks
and trying to fool the boys with cries
Of Hey, Joe,' but the marines soon
caught on to that and proceeded to
invent tricks the Japs would never
in thousand years have dreamed
up. The outstanding fact of this war
is the versatility, adaptability, cour-
age and toughness of American boys.
Presumably-before the war, that
is-they were considered our softest
generation. Rather, they 60 back to
the pioneers.
It was shown clear at Guadalcanal
that the Phys were no match for
the Zeros, and point was reached
when it was necessary to use few
bombers as reconnaissance planes in
"hot" sectors. Even though the
fighters were knocking the faster and
more maneuverable Zeros out of the
air at the rate of eight and nine to
one, the loss of the one plane, multi
piled over daily battles, soon be-
came serious. A crisis was reached
on Guadalcanal when they were
finally down to five fighters and IS
bombers. It was then that huge
task force Of the Japs was reported
300 miles off, with battleships, car
riers. destroyers and cruisers.
1--WE had about so ships in the
harbor at Espiritu Santo," says the
admiral. "but I'VE soon got them out
OF there and scattered over the sea,
leaving only two that had few anti
aircraft guns and might do us some
good. We evacuated our huts and
took to slit trenches and waited. Our
bombers being used as scouting
planes kept reporting the steady
progress Of the Jap fleet straight
for us-and then, for no reason I
was ever able to understand, they
turned around and went back!
Superb Training.
'"The United States navy had the
most superbly trained carrier groups
that ever entered a war;" he says
fatty. 'The next best were the Jap
anese. All the things we worked out
in maneuvers before the war have
been successfully used since.
'"The captain Of a battleship
might stop any one type of attack,
whether it is dive bombing, torpedo
planes, skip bombing or high-level
stuff, but when you combine them
all, as our navy fiers do, there isn't
a ship in the world with enough
flrepower to shoot them down.
