Truman Asks Recheck
OF Army Expenses 10
Cut Extravaganza
Senate Group to Hear
Stoff Officers Today on
New Supply Bill
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A recheck of War Department
expenditures to eliminate what
he described as "eXtravagant"
outlayS was demanded today by
Senator Truman, Democrat, of
Missouri as an Appropriations
Subcommittee assembled to hear
general staff officials on the
HouSe-approved $71,51O,438 900
Army supply bill.
Senator Truman told reporters his
delVings into military projects as
chairman of the Senate War Inves-
tlgdtlng Committee had convinced
him here still is a great deal of
waste and extravaganza" particu-
larly in construction work.
AS an example, Senator Truman
said the committee had learned re-
Gently that the Sunfower Ordnance
Plant at Eudora, KanS., built by a
private contractor with Army
funds, probably will cost S13O,OOO,-
600 when completed, as compared
with estimates of approximately
S70,G00,G00. He said evidence was
given indicating S25,000,0O0 was
wasted" in the ineffective utiliza-
ton of labor
viii Probe Hotel Leases.
The Army will get every nickel it
needs to fight the war, but it is time
some explanations were given for
some of the eXtravagant outlays,' -
he declared
The Missouri Senator said that as
A member Of the appropriations
group he also intends to inquire into
the financial details of Army leases
on 200 hotels which the War De-
partment announced it is turning
back to civilian owners next month.
Senator Truman said further he
desires to know how the Army eX-
poets to spend such large appro-
priation when it will end the pre-
ent fiscal year with $l2,472 600, 900
left over from previous allocations.
This amount is reappropriated in
the House approved bill, along with
new grants totaling more than $59,-
900 100000.
1t. Gen. Brehon Somerveu, COM
manding the Army Service Forces,
told the House Appropriations Com
mittee that the department can
and will obligate all Of the $71,-
5l0,000OOO total before July l. 1914
but Senator Truman insisted the
committee must have more aSsur-
ances on this point.
Thomas Predicts Approval.
However, Senator Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma, chairman of the
subcommittee, said he believed
changes in the war machine die
tated by the lessons of actual COM
bat often account for the lag be-
tween congressional appropriations
and actual expenditures. He pre-
Gicted the committee would approve
the full amount allowed by the
House when it passed the bill by a
345-to-G roll call vote.
Senator Thomas added, however,
he plans to inquire why the War De-
partment is taking 18-year-old STU
dents out of military colleges. where
they are receiving Reserve officers
training, and sending them to Army
camps.
Senator Thomas also scheduled an
inquiry into the amount of land
taken over by the War Department
and thus removed from local tax
rolls and an investigation into the
adequacy Of the Nations gasoline
and oil supplies to operate the l00,-
600 new planes to be purchased with
funds proyided in the bill,

the additional 100000 workers for
the coming fiscal year
Earlier, during the testimony of
James p Mitchell, director Of the
industrial personnel division, Army
Service Forces, Mr.. Ramspeck said
that the large number Of known in
Competents should be removed
promptly from Government payrollS.
Representative La Toilette. Re-
publican, of Indiana, expressed his
unalterable conviction that the chief
trouble is that the young people
being employed lack the, character to
want to do a good job, or any job,
and would be satisfied with any job
at all He said that "the Army has
done lot for the youth of the coun-
try in teaching many to get inter-
ested in doing what they don't want
to do and never before were made
to do"
Pay Scale Criticized.
Representative Klein, Democrat,
Of New York, pointed out that much
of the satisfaction and heavy
turnover in Government service is
due to the fact that much better
pay is offered in outside employ
ment.
Hits House Refusal to Aid.
when we tried in the overtime
pay bill partially to correct this sit
uation by paying at least what is
paid for overtime on the outside,

HOLLYWOOD,

Joan Fontaine, in "Frenchman's
Greek" is playing her first glamour
girl role since her bound to fame
in "Rebecca." In that picture, If
you remember, Joan was a faded,
mousy little thing who remained
that way even after she married
Laurence Olivier. She did little
better in Suspicion" as the wife
Of Cary Grant, but it was hard for
the gal to be really glamorous be-
cause she was worrying all the time
whether Cary was going to bump
her oil. In This Above All" Joan
mostly wore the uniform Of WAAF.
In 1.-THE Constant Nymph" Joan
either wears a gingham dress, a
sacklike garment, or a schoolgirls
getup. In Jane Eyre" she is the
governess to Orson Welles' "Roches-
ter"
So it came as a bit of surprise to
see Joan in "Frenchman's Creek"
all dolled up with red-gold wig,
wearing a gorgeous cream -colored,
heavy silk gown, a waistline that
person with medium hands could
span, a low voice, and high title
she Is Lady Dona st. Columb in the
Daphne Du Maurier story. Further
more, the girl we expect to behave
like tinid little creature was en-
tertaining an honest = to goodness
pirate in her stately mansion near
the Cornish coast Of England.
&A
IT have 1S changes Of dresses"
Joan tells me with something like
q shudder. She weighs a mere 105
pounds, the weather has been hot
her corset Is tight, and the dresses
are heavy-some Of them weigh 50
pounds. II was asked to dye my
own hair red" continues Joan, "but
wouldn't do that. So I have to
wear wig. The picture is In techni-
color-flrst time I've been in one.
It's the most strenuous picture I've
done yet-and that includes Dam
sells in Distress with Fred Astaire.
I have to climb cliffs. I climb a
rope ladder into the, pirates sailing
ship. I have to fight off the wicked
advances Of Basil Rathbone. Then
kill him by f1inging a shield at
him as he comes up the stairs to my
ROOM" It sounds almost like a
Cecil B. De Mile picture!
The pirates ship into which Joan
climbs for her runaway jaunt with
Pirate Arturo de Cordoba (who has
been completely done over, with a
wig of long curls and high fancy
boots) Is 100 feet long, cost the
studio q couple OF hundred Thousand
dollars and goes at the end OF the
film to the Coast Guard for target
practice! In all, the picture will

cost $4,000, 900. I remember at the
beginning of the European war pro-
drcers predicted that million-do
pictures would be out for the dura-
ton because of the loss of the for
eign markets. Today there are more
million, two million and three mil
lion dollar pictures being made than
at any tipe in the past 10 years.
Joan and the pirate were having q
cozy little supper alone in the huge
dining room when I arrived on the
set Joan's husband, Ralph Forbes,
is away. so she reckons this IS as
good a time as any to entertain the
boy friend. And yet Joan does not
seem happy. According to the let
ter of the book, this particular re-
past must include Strawberries and
crab. II you want to really under
stand why Miss Fontaine was mis-
erable. try eating that combination
on a hot, sticky day. The picture,
by the way, will still be in produc-
ton in November.
Another period piece-vintage 1870
is Harry Sherman's Buffalo Bill"
which is getting the works at Goth
Century-Fox. Joel McCrea, also
with a shoulder-length hair bob,
dashes into disordered room, finds
Maureen O'Hara bound, gagged and
struggling on the floor, unties her,
removes the gag. and is rewarded
for his trouble with stormy Maui

try?" AS she runs from the scene

The setting for Rhapsody in
Blue represents Remick's, the New

George Gershwin is seated at piano
pounding out tune that bears
little resemblance to the famous
melodies of his own composition.
He's a very young Gershwin, as un-
known at this stage of his career
as Robert Aida, the actor who Is
portraying him In the film.
The song plugger sits in glass
partitioned cubicle, his fingers fly
ing over the piano keyboard. AS
he smashes final chord and turns
from the piano, a timid voice asks:
Pardon me. is this the place where
you give away music?"
A girl, dressed in the tight-hipped,
length skirt Of 1917 style, is
standing at his cubicle. It takes a
second glance to identify her as

She thumbs through the copies.

they turned out TO be the producers
we could not squirm in on the
distinction even as a remote CO.
discoverer of Miss Calkins.
However. as we may say, we did
not know then what we know now
tragic shortcoming which besets
virtually every one in the world at
one time or another.
The natural assumption was that
when play has found producer,
much less two, it is on its way to
production. The assumption turns
out to have been as foolish as 1t was
natural.
AS the story comes to us in a
roundabout way, the unbridled en-
thusiasm of the Messrs. was like
so many enthusiasts of producers.
They swoon at the beauty of q
play. or maybe it is the majesty Of
play or its prospects, of netting
someone a fortune or binding fame.
And then, when they have recovered.
they begin to get ideas for making
1t more beautiful, majestic, or COM
mercially wonderful. The poor play.
wright Is nearly always willing to
do some rewriting, recasting or re-
constructing, but he will be blessed.
or something more profane-if he
sits down and take dictation while
the whole thing is rewritten.
That might look like q matter
Of false pride If you are unfamiliar
with producers. Those who are
familiar with them realize that play
wrights resist, not out of stubborn
pride, but because of a well-founded
conviction that producers know zero
about playwriting. If they did, they
would write their own plays instead
Of being crazy enough to pay others.
Whatever form of crazy, or eccen-
trio human, a producer might be,
paying out unnecessary money isn't
1t. One may. imagine himself now
and then to be David Belasco or
Flo Ziegfeld, but never Tommy
Manville.

Miss Calkins, our informant SAYS,
was willing to retouch 'Independ-
ence Square" but not to the point
that 1t looked like Boston Common
or Dupont Circle. When 1t became
apparent that would be the end
result of the producers program,
she took her play and came home
to cool, shady hilltop at Mclean,
Va.
She and her play are sitting
there now, waiting to be discovered
again.
Evening star., 1943-08-16

If she were superstitious, which
our spy says she is not, she might
feel very positive about the success
of her next venture with play pro-
ducers.
That will be the third one, and
every one knows three's reputation
for being "the charm" unless all
the kids in the world are wrong
about such things.
The other producer who thought
he would give Independence
Square" to- the people was Brock
Pemberton.
Mr.. Pemberton's option, In It's
time, lapsed when he decided that
verse play would be a wonderful
thing If it were translated into
straight, staccato prose. Something
like, say, Street Scene, which was
Theoretically quite different thing.
If Miss Calkins wanted a sugges-
ton from this department., we would
say she had good play theme in
her experience with producers. It
should make a hilarious comedy
and perhaps she could get a group
Of playwrights to sponsor its pro-
duction.
A regular producer probably
would not want to dabble with such
material.
Waits and strays: Among the
other things Irving Berlin did while
here for the premiere of This Is
the Army" was agree with the point
that Vera Zorina should stick to
the stage She cannot miss in
the theater, Mr.. Berlin thinks 8.
One of the reasons he has for so
thinking is Zorina's success In his
own Louisiana Purchase" /. Sinat-
ramania, an ecstatic condition af-
fecting the young, came home to
this department most forcefully the
other day when the copy girl handed
to 1t the picture of Betty Hale,
who will play Sinatra's sweetheart
