Movies of the future, they say,
will have smell as well as SOUND.
During a sea picture for instance,
a decidedly salty odor would per-
meate through the audience.
The possibilities of this thing are
immense.
Imagine the Tilted movie hero
coming home drunk at 800 a. m.
in the morning Ushers would dash
up and down the aisle opening
bottles of 4-Star Hennessy so the
audience could get the desired at
mosphere.
Scenes filmed in the far north
would be made more realistic to
the theatre goers by turning off all
the heat an hour before the show
started and then having everyone
sit on a block of ice.
This will all be very nice if it
isn't carried too far

World Series.
Pitcher Spurgeon Chandler, sign
ed by Nee at the University Of
Georgia, defeated the Cards twice,
and Catcher Bill Dickey, discovered
by Nee at Jackson, Miss, was bat
ting hero.
Others of the 1943 Yankees are
Pitchers Marvin Breuer, put under
contract while he played in the
Cotton States League, and Atley
Donald, signed out of Ruxton Gala. }
College, and Catcher Ken Sears,
who talked terms to Nee while he
was at the University of Alabama.
Others He Has Discovered.
1t was Nee who found a place in
the major leagues also for the fleet
outfielder, Ben Chapman; Out
fielder Dixie Walker, now of the
Brooklyn Dodgers; Pitcher Johnny
Allen and Third Baseman Bill Wer-
ber.
The soft-spoken former minor
league player and manager won the
auction for the Yankees when teams
IN both big leagues started bidding
for the services of Tommy Heinrich
after the outflelder was declared a
free agent few years back.
Nee's $4,000 offer brought Hen
rich to the Yankees, and he was a
regular until he went into the serv-
ice last year.
With only three organized profess
slonal leagues now operating in the
South, Nee keeps a close eye these
days on the amateurs, the semipros
and the American Legion junior
teams.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 27.-The
Piedmont Baseball League, always
noted for its rapid turnover OF man
ayers, is following the same pattern
for the 1914 campaign.
A survey recently showed that
three changes in pilots, and possibly
a fourth, are in the mills for the
six-club class B" circuit for next
year.
Milton Stock, cagey Portsmouth
manager. will coach the Chicago
Cubs; Larry Kinzer, Richmond in
fielder manager, will be succeeded by
Ben Chapman at the helm OF the
Colts, and Bruno Bethel, Durham
manager for the last three years,
has been promoted to managership
of the Montreal Royals Of the In
ternational League.
Ollie Vanek, Lynchburg, is being
carried on the reserve list as field
manager Of the Senators, st. Louis
farm club, but indications are that
he will not return to that job next
season. The Cardinals also must
name a new business manager for
the Lynchburg team to replace Art
Rouzong, now in the Army.
Roanoke Is expecting the return
of the colorful Heinie Manush as
manager in 1914. There has been no
word yet from the New York Yam
KEGS regarding plans for the Nor
folk Tar farmhands, who were pilot
ed by Shaky Kain last season.
Chapman. who served as Rich
monds manager and pitcher utility
player a year ago, was out of or
ganized baseball last season as a
result of a one-year suspension i'm
posed for striking an umpire.

Ickes esSaysPhiIippines
Will Need u. ). Aid
When Isles Are Freed
By the Associated Press.

Ds INC hseOClaleu fIesb.
Secretary Ickes said today the
Philippines after the war will need
the sympathetic and effective as
sistance" Of the United States to re-
store their finances, and generous
and effective" program of economic
rehabilitation is being prepared.
If the Japanese are driven out by
1916, the Philippine Islands will be
an Independent nation, since that
is the year the United States Is
scheduled to grant full independence.
That date could be advanced at the
discretion Of the President under 3
resolution passed by the Senate and
pending in House committee.
Mr.. Ickes. reporting on 1943 ac-
tivities of the Interior Departments
Division of Territories and Island
Possessions, said it Is expected that
the Philippines will be in the fol-
lowing position when the enemy Is
ousted:
Much of the physical property Of
the Government will have been de-
stroyed or damaged, the treasures
will be empty, bank and credit in
stitutions insolvent, the basis of
public tax and revenue impaired for
several years, and the schools and
health service abandoned.
Though Mr.. Ickes did not mention
| it, rehabilitation of the Philippines
likely will be in the hands Of
general rehabilitation commission"
composed OF nine men from the
islands and nine from the United
States. Such a commission is pro-
vided in a Joint resolution approved
by the Senate and pending in the
House
Mr.. Ickes said intercepted broad
casts reveal that the mass of the
population of the islands is still loyal
to the United States and to the
commonwealth government-in-e exile,
and that guerrilla warfare is being
waged in all of the larger islands.

Americans 10 Claim
More Than Billion
From Nazi Regime
By the Associated Press.

6S the AssoclAted Press.
Americans have staked out an un-
ofncial claim against Hitler g. Co.
for more than 81 l,000, 900 900 and the
flnal total is expected to be much
larger.
The Treasury. reporting last night
on the latest tabulation Of its census
Of American-owned property abroad,
placed the value of United States
investments in the six Axis countries
at $1,070, ,398 ,668. OF that amount
$3.50 ,912,474 is invested in Germany
well above the $3.50 900 900 value Of
all known Axis assets In this coun-
try.
The census returns by themselves
do not constitute formal claims.
The Treasury's study was under
taken to determine the extent Of
this country's financial stake all
over the globe-both as a war aid
and peace table guide.
The overall total thus far tab
ulated runs in excess of $4,000, ,0OO,-
900, representing investments in 12l
countries, but even this figure is in
complete by several billions" the
department said, explaining that all
reports have not yet been reviewed
and that extensions have been
granted number of corporations
and individuals because of the COM
plexity of their property interests.
More than third of all United
States INTERESTS, l12, 900, ,O00-is in
vested in Canada, and 1928, 900, 900
in England. American investments
exceed $100,000,000 in each of 18
other countries.
Latin American countries account
for an aggregate Of s2,494 900 900,
topped by a $614,O00,O00 figure for
Cuba with Brazil next at 1897 900 900

ton still maintaining relations with
the Axis-totaled $3l1 900 900 by
latest count. In Bolivia-scene Of

only $32, 900 900.
Smallest total for any country was
a 81 investment listed in Transjor-
dan, but no one at the Treasury
could recall what it represented
and the foreign funds control people
were too busy to look 1t up.
