and that Crash Dive" Is one OF
those action saturated screen
dramas which conforms to the basic
requirement that a movie must
move. The drama and romance OF
it all are made the more vivid by
the circumstance that 1t is done in
technicolor and has Ann Baxter
to play the girl who is left behind
when the males put out to sea.
Crash Dive" as a stormy valedic-
tory for It's hero has the further ad-
vantage that it deals with fighting
arm which heretofore has been
covered primarily in the most terse
and colorless official communiques,
those dealing with the submarine.
AS the story now is told, both terse-
ness and dullness have disappeared
and life aboard the subsea raiders
Is disclosed as something seething
with heroism and suspense.
The submarine service. however,
Is never more than co-hero with
Power in Crash Dive" His role
Is that Of a sWashbuckling young
naval lieutenant who comes to sub
marines from the PIT boat service
with the conviction that he is in
for some dull routine. 1t does not
make him popular with his superb
ors-one of the routine conflicts
which script writer's cannot escape
but it is the kind of arrogance that
helps sweep pretty girls off their
feet. Both the basic elements of
Crash Dive" and both have a
profound tendency to make the
story sound like something you have
heard before. except for the fact
that the background this time is
sub Atlantic.
On his way to becoming the
greater hero for having seemed such
a heel, or at least a boor, ashore,
Crash Dive" leads its principal
male through some convincing imi-
tations of life aboard a submarine.
The first of these, following
stretch OF romantic dalliance which
is designed for comedy, has to do
with an encounter with mystery
ship in the North Atlantic. The
mystery ship, which the sub crew
challenges with a blandness which
looks pretty silly at the time, turns
out to be German mine layer in
the disguise of a Swedish merchant
man. In the ensuing battle, the
submarine goes through maneuvers
designed to teach the public the
meaning of crash dive" The
meaning is dramatic something,
involving the subs descent to the
ocean floor In an effort to escape the
depth charges. 1t escapes, all right,
but not until some extremely trick

Against the brilliance of the set

and Miss Baxter, others who meet
the requirement quite capably are

Caution Necessary
In Winter Driving

Emphasizing that the nations WIN
ter traffic this year will be vital war;
time traffic, the National Safety
Councils committee on winter driv-
ing hazards this week urged essen
tial drivers to be prepared for the
hazards of snow, sleet, ice, fog and
lower visibility that cause winter
accident.
To prevent winter accidents, the
committee suggests the following
rules for safe winter driving:
Adjust speed to conditions. Slow
down we'll in advance of intersections
and curves. Follow other vehicles at
greater distances. Give yourself
plenty of room - must more than
you think of you need. Put on tire
chains when roads are slippery with
ice or snow. Signal for stops and
turns in plenty of time. Apply brakes
lightly and intermittently on slip
perry roads. Remember that braking
distances on snow and ice are four
to eleven times as great as on dry
pavement, and that wet ice at near
thawing temperatures is twice as slip
perry as dry ice near zero.

uty collector.
At Ask0v December 9.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

It may be more interesting than
actually significant to reflect that the
First World War lasted fifty-one and
half months, and that the Second
World War this week will be ap-
preaching that very same "age".
Now, wars are not run according to
the calendar, but it does, after all,
mean something that at the end of
the fifty-first month the Germans
are in this war at practically the
same stage as they were at the end
of the fifty-first month in 1918.
They begin to realize that their
cause is lost one, and that their
resistance is being constantly
lessened.
This fact lies behind the numerous
peace rumors that were heard dur
ing the early part of this week, as,
for that matter, during other recent
weeks, too. 1t is impossible to gauge
their Importance or lack of it, but
certain it is that some kind of eli
max is on the way now.
conferences.
1t may be that much more will be
known when these lines are being
read than now when they are being
written - especially concerning con-
ferences among the leaders of the
major United Nations.
There are reports afloat to the ef-
feet that Churchill and Stain may
have met, or may be about to meet;
there are others indicating that
Roosevelt and Chang Kai-shek may,
or indirectly, take part in
the new discussions, but at the mo-
ment of writing everything is mys-
terious.
Most interesting of all the
vague rumors are the two fol-
lowing: one, that German diplO-
mats in neutral capitals are
sounding out the United Nations
in an effort to find out whether
the time for an armistice can
be said to be at hand now, and

International News Review

the other, that the pending-or
observation-disclosures may de-
eide to appeal over the head Of
the Berlin government to the
German people with an urgent
suggestion that Hitler and his
Nazism be eliminated as neces-
sary preliminary to armistice ne
g0tiati0ns.
Of course, as to these rumors' it
must be said they are as vague as
all others, but they are of interest
because they show the direction Of
the wind.
Berlin Bombs.
What makes it possible to think
that Germany may soon try to give
up, is the undeniable fact that the
morale of the people has received
about its worst shock yet as re-
suit of the terrific bombings of Ber-
lin, Germany's capital. There has
never in all history been anything
like this. And when, at the same
time, other large cities like Frank
furt, Bremen, Stuttgart - and many
other centers - are being relentless
ly attacked by American and British
bombers, it seems quite plausible that
German enthusiasm for Hitler and
his war is at just about the lowest
ebb yet.
There are ever so many other in
dications that the Germans are, as
we say in this country, getting sick
and tired of war which has brought
them nothing but disappointment,
horror and misery. They may, in
other words, soon be ready to
"break".
Russian Victory.
If the war-weary Germans turn
their eyes eastward, they find as lit
tie comfort as they do in their own
country.
For on the Russian front, the
Soviet troops are once more fore
ing the Nazi legions to retreat.
