FILMS HICHLICHT
STORY OF VATICAN
Capitol Theater to Feature
Pictorial Masterpiece To.
morrow, Friday

THE Story Of the Vatican" first
complete full length motion picture
ever made inside the Papal state,
opens for q limited engagement at
the Capitol theater in Waterbury
Thursday and Friday afternoon and
evening.
Produced by the March of Time,
and narrated by Monsignor Fulton
J. Sheen, noted author, lecturer and
principal speaker of the Catholic
Radio Hour, the picture has been
described as the most remarkable
picture ever filmed. Walter Winchell
describes it as "cinematic eloquence
Of the grandeur that is Rome"
Climaxed by an intimate study Of
His Holiness Pope Plus XII talking
on international peace before his
advisory body in the Academy of
Science, the film brings to life the
great architectural and artistic
treasures of the Vatican and the
governmental and business activities
of the Papal State.
The splendors of the Basilica OF
st. Peters, the murals of Michael
angelo in the Sistine Chapel, the
masterpieces in the Vatican gal
leries, the crypts beneath the Cathe-
dral where the Popes are buried,
the Vatican radio stations, the post
office, the States stores and shops
all are revealed. The March Of
Times cameras have gone to many
places within the Vatican where
visitors ordinarily are excluded.
OF particular interest at this time
when the hand of the barbarian IS
so close to the Papal State, the
picture was made with the permits
sion and full cooperation Of the
highest officials Of Vatican City.

Mixing Things Up

From the Winnipeg Free Press
Nothing is so certain to prolong the
war as this constant effort on the part
OF the left-wing critics to spread the
idea that the war is as good as won and
that We can now afford to let the gen.
erals and the troops attend to what little
remains to be done, while We concen-
trate our efforts upon the issues which
will descend upon us when the guns
fall silent. This approach to postwar
problems, putting them first in the
program, is, with individual excep-
tions, not as disinterested as it claims
to be. 1t is part of the plan to get a
head start in the competition for po-
litical control which is certain to develop
following the war. The idea of the
tacticians is to get on with their prepa-
rations while the war engrosses the at
tention and the energies of those now
in charge of affairs whose position they
hope to thus undermine.

The Senote's Opportunity

There is no material difference
between the Fulbright resolution,
already adopted overwhelmingly by
the House, and the one approved
yesterday, with but single dissent
ing vote, by subcommittee of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
If anything, the new measure is
couched in even stronger language,
advocating war until complete vic
tory is won over all our enemies and
resolving that the United States
participate thereafter I'm the estab-
lishment and maintenance of an in
ternational authority with power to
prevent aggression and to preserve
the peace of the world"
If the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee now passes favorablv on
this resolution-as Chairman Con-
nally predicts it willard if sub
stantially more than two thirds of
the Senators support it, the United
States will have taken a long and
encouraging step forward on the
road to effective international COL
laboration. For with the House
already committed, any such action
by the Senate would place Congress
on record before history and the
world as being in full sympathy with
the principle of collective security.
In other words. if the Senate gives
prompt approval to the. measure,
with only a handful of dissenters,
notice will be served that, so far as
these legislators are concerned,
there will be no capricious isola-
zionist reaction against the idea of
postwar American cooperation with
the rest of the world. From the
long range viewpoint, this would
unquestionably have a wholesome
effect on the temper and confidence
of many leaders and peoples who
might doubt our intention anddeter-
mination to play an adequate inter-
national role in the years to come.
furthermore, emphatic Senate ap-
proval of this measure would GER
tainly strengthen Secretary Hull's
hand In his forthcoming conference
with the British and Russian foreign
ministers and would do much to
promote the success of a later meet
ing between President Roosevelt,
Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Marshal Stain. The House
made great contribution to this
end when it passed the Fulbright
resolution last month; it remains
now only for the Senate to act as
wisely. If it does, then there will
be more reason to hope that tomor-
rows world will be made into
genuinely cooperative one instead
Of falling back into the dangerous
old game of power politics.

Booby Trup

The great postwar problem is how
to adapt the methods of war to those
of peace, and among other details
brought up will be the future of the
BOBBY trap. Will it be of any use
after victory? The suggestion is
offered that it may be, in domestic
warfare, which will no doubt last as
long as time. There are many oc-
casions, even now, when various
members of the household, under
attack, could use ingenious BOBBY
traps. They should not, of course,
be loaded with q ton of TINT nor
cause permanent injury, yet they
should pack enough of a wallop to
deter future attacks.
In these days Of rationing, for in
stance, wife often needs to use
stringent methods to keep her hus-
band from a midnight raid on the
icebox Some simple little gadget
would be welcome, attachable to the
iceboX, SO that when the door was
opened siren would sound, enabling
the wife to descend in overwhelming
force and break up the raid. More
drastic would have to be the BOBBY
trap set by husband against wife
in the habit of sharpening pencils
with his razor blades; she does this
while he is away at work, and horn
would do no good. What the device
should be is not clear; there are
many schools of masculine thought
on suitable punishment for this
crime. Best of ALL however, would
be ban against the use of BOBBY
trap often set by the lady of the
house, consisting of an easy chair,
complete with pipe, tobacco and
carpet slippers. The mere occupancy
of this chair automatically proves
that the man has nothing to do, and
is therefore available for moving
furniture, removing screens and the
like. Let some super-Hague Conven-
ton, on the alert for fair play, put
stop to this one.

Many 1oordS I hare heard here; many
sounds I hare taken
Full on the moods edge, or up in

The sound I lone best coming do1Un

Is that OF the co,Os' feet plowing
the trost-crisp leaves.

The edges OF dusk With tinkling

OF sno,o on leaUes and panes;; icicles

When the shelues Uarmed, and tho
long forest broke its hush.
The thruShes sing; the pine-,Dinds
spread their chorus
Crying in the fail, comforting the
heart that grieues.
These sounds are to be drunk like

Junqo Commencement

Tomorrow evening at the Medical
Society Building a second class of
Jangos will be graduated. Growing
directly out of the patriotic wish to
give help in time of national emer-
gency, the movement to which these
girls belong already has demon
Strated its value. Several hundred
teenage daughters and other close
relatives of Army and Navy officers
have been enrolled under the leader
ship of Mrs Robert P. Patterson, Mrs.
Ralph Bard, Mrs. Fred w. Gardner,
Mrs. George Fox, Mrs. Lawrence
Crolius and other women responding
to the call for nurses assistants.
The first group received certificates
on April 2.
Jango is a word coined from the
name Junior Army-Navy Guild
Organization. The girls wear uni
forms of blue trimmed in red and
white. Caps of blue with peppermint
stick braid are awarded to candidates
who complete the prescribed course.
of training. instruction from the
start has been in the hands of Mrs.
James F. Meier. The course lasts
thirteen weeks and is arranged so
as not to interfere with regular
school lessons. When qualified, the
students are admitted to responsible
duties in hospitals where they are
sorely needed. No wages are paid to
them. They are volunteers, bred in
the service tradition of sacrifice and
asking only the opportunity to con-
tinue that tradition in their own
independent and individual right.
The effect of the experience
naturally interests the parents and
friends of the girls. Questions ad-
dressed to the Jangos invariably in
clude inquiries about what influence
the work has upon their plans for
the future. Some undoubtedly will
make profession of nursing. Others
probably will turn to other concerns

of the estate of the late Charles F.
Pace, former financial clerk of the
Senate. His sister, Miss Elizabeth
c. Pace, contended that her brother
was "domiciled" in Florida, their
former home, where there is no
inheritance tax, despite twenty
seven years residence here, and that
his holdings consequently were
exempt from assessment. The Board
of Tax Appeals disallowed this claim,
saying it could not find that the
decedent has overcome the presump-
ton, arising from his maintaining a
home in the District, that he was
domiciled therein" This ruling was
reversed by the Court of Appeals,
and the District appeal to the
Supreme Court followed
The case involves about $4,000 in
taxes, and it is of additional i'm
portance to the District because of
the possibility that it may serve to
define more clearly the liability of
Federal employees who seek to avoid
local taxation by claiming domicile
in some other jurisdiction, where the
laws are more favorable. The
Murphy and De Hart cases, previ-
ously decided by the Supreme Court,
seemed to set very definite standards
for determining the taxable status
of District residents, while at the
same time, giving the Board of Tax
Appeals wide discretion in applying
such standards. The Court of Ap-
peals decision in this case however,
left the boards authority in doubt.

Northern Europe, at last found scope in
the final and decisive blows. Many
peoples of the colonial empire, among
whom the Maltese have achieved
deathless renoHn, swelled the victorious
forces. India, fighting first under the
command of the eminent general who is
now to be her viceroy, claimed a special
right for Asia to strike in the west
against the institutions OF tyranny. and
her troops have taken a brilliant share
in the victory. Finally seamen, soldiers
and alrmen from the British Isles have
endured every hardship and faced every
danger to restore in the Mediterranean
the authority that Nelson established in
Abouklr Bay, which their country has
exercised for century and a half as
trustee for the peace of many nations" :"
The British press generally regarded
the Italian capitulation as the climax of
the Mediterranean campaign which
began some two years before America
actively was at war
