HOLLYWoOD-Movie producers
are fidgeting little. What if the
war should end suddenly and catch
them with millions sunk in war
films? Some are estimating how
long the war will last and revising
schedules accordingly.
Warner Bros. viii give the war
about 10 months longer, a trade
paper indicates. In other words,
Warmers will make war pictures
for eight months more, and then
90 in for gaiety and romance.
This studio has "Casablanca, /"
"Air Force" Edge Of Darkness
and mission to Moscow" already
out. Then comes "Action in the
North Atlantic" "This Is the
Army" Watch on the Rhine, /"
Background to Danger" "The
Desert Bong" and Battle Cry. Of
the continuity wasn't little cock
eyed, the titles would make a story
synopsis in themselves.)
Switch to Lighter Vein
AS by then Warmers figures
either the war will be ending, or
the real casualty lists starting, the
public will be entitled to a lighter
tone. The studio will therefore
switch to "The Constant Ny1nph," !"
"Old Acquaintance" arsenic and
Old Lace" THANK Your Lucky
Stars" Adventures of Mark
Twain" and such.
Paramount is of like mind. It's
execs feel they have pretty well
done their bit with films clarifying
the -Four Freedoms, the aims of
democracy, and the dramas Of the
fig h tin g forces. Explanation,
please! Which film clarified which
freedom? Oh, never mind.
It's true, of course, that Wake
Island was rousing battle film.
And Paramount gave the produc-
ton front a touch Of glamour in
"Star Spangled Rhythm" which
showed cuties in overalls coaxing
male aircraft workers to knock off
for a jitterbug chorus number. The
public that knows its Pegler and
Rickenbacker will understand, of
course, that this is just meant in
fun.
Has Serious Stuff
Naturally, Paramount has Sc
rious stuff in the works, such as
For Whom the Bell Tolls" and
"The Story of DR.. Wassell." But
the studio bosses want to assure
you that one year from now their
war themes will be tapered off to
25% of present proportion.

Movie Hailed
By Unions
BY JOHN DUNN

NEW YORK - (FP) - Warner
Bros. made news and some contro-
versy when it opened Mission to
Moscow, the first movie ever made
in Hollywood that attempts to tell
the American people something
about the Soviet Union.
A special preview was given for
labor union officials, and out of
this came telegram Of congratu-
lation to Warmers and former Am
bassador Joseph E. Davies, author
of the book from which the picture
was made.
"This documented story" the tele-
gram said, "of the past seven years
clarifies issues and events which
the enemies Of progress have too
long sucesseded in confusing and
distorting Mission to Moscow
tells the truth about the Soviet
Union.
Among the signers Of the tele-
gram were Pres. Joseph Curran of
the Natl. Maritime Union (CIO)
and Sec.-Treas. Jacob Potofsky of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers (CIO).
Critics Praise Picture
The picture was praised by the
critics of the Times, Herald Trib-
une, PM and even the Scripps-
H ward World-Telegram and
Hearst's Mirror. 1t was attacked
by Hearst's Journal-American and
the reactionary Sun.
The theater was picketed on the
first day of its showing by a group
from the Socialist Workers party.
The pickets withdrew after making
no appreciable dent in the attend
ance.
The picture is unique for Holly
wood, which in the last % years
has made few pictures about the
Soviet Union and those few were
always unfavorable, gen orally
based on the Hearst press concep-
ton of Russia.
The first hand observations of
Davies during his ambassadorship
from 1886 to 1888 in Moscow are
the basis for the movie. 1t is un-
doubtedly major contribution to
international unity, and the major
movie critics agree-exciting en-
tertainment.

A good bass crop is expected at
the Newtown Hatchery, near Gin
cinnati, according to DR.. T. H.
Langlois, chief of the Fish Man
agement Section of the Ohio Divi-
sion of Conservation and Natural
Resources. He reported that the
first small-mouthed bass were OBJ
served on the nest on April 26 and
by April 20 there were so beds.
The water temperature, recorded
then, was 68 degrees and due to
the fact that spawning took place
a bit late this year, damaging
freezing possibly will be avoided,
which augers well for the Matching
of bumper supply of small
mouthed bass fry.
FISHING is GOOD
Although bass will be given a
brief respite, with both the north
ern and southern zones closed to
black bass fishing, Ohio anglers
were having lots of luck with other
species, according to Ohio game
protectors, who this week are MAX
ing check on the best catches
made in their counties.
"Most folks don't have a lot of
time for fishing trips but they are
enjoying brief jaunts after work
and on off time for their favorite
fishing streams and lakes" said
one game protector, who stated
that he was following the plan all
game protectors have been asked to
employ this summer-advising folk
where they are biting and the bats
that are bringing the best luck, in
order to aid the war worker, the
busy farmer and all others who
seek few hours relaxation at the
most relaxing sport in the world.
THIS AND THAT

closed season for black bass. Does
that apply to Lake Erie?" queries
an Ohio angler No, the sea-
son in the Lake Erie district is diff
ferent there the closed black
bass season does not start until
May 20 and opens again on July
and frog and turtle hunters
are bit confused in some areas

Great Britain Fails to

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.,
Nov. 13. (UP)-The United
States will probably be asked
to contribute one per cent
of one years national income,
or about $1,l00,000,000, to meet the
relief and rehabilitation needs Of
Axis occupied countries, it was
learned today.
The first congressional appropria-
ton, however, was not expected to
exceed half of this amount, or $780,
100000, since supplies stored in
various warehouses may be used to
represent part of the total sum.
Additional funds, if asked, might
come later.
The exact amount of the exist
ing supplies has not been revealed.
The United Kingdom also has large
amounts of supplies stored away in
warehouses, but the amount OF
these, too, were not made known
to the present conference OF the
council of the United Nations.
240 WAREHOUSES;
According to latest reports, the
United Kingdom has about 24O

in Britain. These supplies were
