Cancelled Advance Agents to At
rica," proposed film account of Maj.
Gen. Mark Wayne Clark's ground
work for the invasion.
simultaneously Warner Brothers
has called off the filming of Gen.
eral de Gaulle's career "until the
north African situation is clari-
fled"
1t is denied, of course, that the
State Department suggested drop
ping of the subjects. However, the
studios seem to have been reminded
that the African campaign is not
yet closed incident, and that tag
ging the headlines too closely may
not be sound business.
Warmers is reported to have paid
the Fighting French fund $4,000
for rights to de Gaulle's story and
to have spent $4,000 or more on
preliminary scripting. Paul Hen
reid was slated to play de Gaulle
Second AntiVichy Movie Called Off
Brian Donlevy was to have
played General Clark in the Para
mount picture and John Wexley
had done two months work on the
script.
This is the second script shot
from under Wexley by interna-
tional considerations. Columbia
called off his anti-Vichy yarn about
the trans-Sahara railway, before
the North African invasion, when it
couldn't get an export guarantee.
There is no taboo on films about
Africa if safely fictional or suffi-
GENTLY dated. Columbia is going
ahead with Sahara with Humphrey
Bogart in the lead previously set
for (curiously enough) Brian Dom
levy. Give Graves to Cairo" is in
production at Paramount with
Erich Won Stroheim playing Afrika

"Casablanca" has drawn $250,O00
in small change through a Broad

participating for the February
openings of "The Immortal Ser

HISTORICAL NOTE: Posterity
may think of Lieut.. Commdr. Was
sell, the hero who evacuated nine
wounded sailors from Java to Aus
tralia, as the originator of "Praise
the Lord and Pass the Ammuni-
tion." Gary Cooper, who will star
in 'The Story of DR.. Wassell, will
sing the number, Cecil B. deMille
having tied up film rights to the
song.
WITHOUT APOLOGIES: Selznick
has one project for which no COM
petition is in sight. He wants to
film "Mein Kampf. Selznick is Sc
rious; says he will introduce few
facts omitted by the author.
WISHFUL ACTING: Joe Devlin
has played Mussolini in several
films and is always trying to i'm
prove his impersonation. He out
did previous efforts for "The Devil
with Hitler"-hit himself in the
mouth and knocked out a tooth.
GARBO REPENTS? Garbo has
approved story about wartime
Russia called Dancing Soldiers. /"
About a ballet dancer who becomes
a sniper in the defense of Moscow.
Maybe she will make amends for
"Ninotchka.
HUMAN RIGHTS: Brian Donlevy
is the wartime anomaly-a male
star without a picture. Switched

Cancelled, he has just withdrawn

Red Gross Instructor
80 Conduct Weekly
n .yctures

Acting in accord with the wish
es of the federal government and
the UAW-CIO nutritional pro-
gram, the Ladies Auxiliary will
soon begin a series of nutrition
classes under Red Cross instruc-
tors to acquaint the members of
the auxiliary and wives of MEM
bers of Local II with scientific
nutritional information.
Mrs. Miriam Dahlmann, chair
man Of the nutrition section of
the Women's Auxiliary discussing
the purpose of the nutrition class
es with the Toledo Union Journal
said, "Due to the increasing
scope of rationing, we fee |
that it is our interest as an or
ganization to not only cooperate
with such a program for its value
to us workers; but because in
these times it is a practical neces-
sity to have first hand knowledge
of proper feeding"
Mrs. Dahlmann further point
ed out, "This is not fad. Indeed
it is a problem, for with many
of the commoner forms of food
becoming harder to get, we must
know what substitute foods to
use and learn appetizing ways of
preparing them"
TO STUDY FOODS
The classes, according to Mrs.
Dahlmann will be under the Red
Cross which will supply teachers
for the subjects which will be
studied by the women. "Men are
invited too" said Mrs. Dahlman
because a lot of men must pre-
pare their own meals now that
so many of their wives are work
ing in war industries"
Glasses will be held at least
once, and perhaps twice each
week in the evenings. No definite
date has been set for the classes

mann will soon be set and

14a4L WOMEN INVITED
All women, members of Local
12, or the wives of members are
cordially invited to attend the
classes. 1t makes no difference
whether you belong to the Wom-
ems Auxiliary or not said Mrs.
Dahlmann, "We want everyone
connected with Local IL who pre-
pares food for their families to
take in these classes. We can as
sure them that the instructions
will be practical and interesting

INTERESTING DISCUSSION

Principal interest of the classes
is in the discussion periods which
follow the lectures. One student
attending the morning class for
for night and second shift work
ers said, Il like the question and
answer periods that go with the
classes. / know / have received
lot of valuable information that
/ did not have before, and con-
sidered myself we'll informed union
member"
Edward Duck, who conducts the
courses, is keeping the classes
from becoming too academic and
dry by injecting definite and prac-
tical examples and problems into
the lectures and discussion periods.
Explaining the classes he said, "We
are making real effort to avoid
the dryness which such classes
sometimes have, by sticking to
practical problems rather than
talking about a lot of theories. I
don't inject any academic theo-
ries into my classes when there
are so many problems affecting
labor and labor-management rela-
tions which are crying for discus
sion on the part of all the work
ers."

OPA Ready TO Start
Chonqeover 70 Fixed Prices

fixed prices generally should be in
full swing in April.
Advocated by organized labor as
easily enforceable, fixed prices in
general are opposed by retailers
associations, which are whipping
up support for alternate proposals
which, as revealed by Federated
Press Jan. %, would wreck price
control.
Fixed prices for meat, regulated
on a national scale because it is
sold on a basis which includes de-
livery costs and is more uniform,
viii be followed shortly by fixed
prices for dry-package groceries,
dairy products, canned goods and
bread, to be figured on a regional

Soviet News
Is Accurate
Eyewitness Accounts
Give Clear Picture
By Federated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-When you
read a news story from Russia,
based on war correspondence by
Soviet reporters, you can bet your
bottom dollar that it is factual,
first hand and accurate.
So says w. w. Chaplin, former
Init. News Service war correspond
ent in Russia, in the Wire Service
News published by the American
Newspaper Guild (CIO). Chaplin
was former chairman Of the ANG
King Features Syndicate unit in
New York.
GO WITH TROOPS
Chaplin describes a conversation
he had with the managing editor
of Red Star, official newspaper Of
the Red Army. Explaining why
coverage had fallen off badly dur
ing the height of the battle Of
Stalingrad, the editor said:
"We have 80 men on our staff,
We all get to the actual fighting
front on a system of rotation. Our
reporters are right with the sol
diers, fighting from house to
house, contesting for a street bar
ricade, or storming a machinegun
nest. Where the soldiers are, there
are our men.
NEWSMEN CASUALTIES
"Well, we naturally have had
our casualties. We've had mer
killed, men wounded and men TAX
en- prisoner. Out of the 80 men or
our staff, l and one other so fal
are the only ones who have not
yet been listed as casualties ir
some category"
Chaplin takes up the story from
there: "Think that over and when
the next man asks you whether
our news from Russia is accurate
whether it's really eyewitness stuff
or something thought up in Mos
COW, remember the staff of the
Red Star"

-Four Grades of Stores

There will be four grades Of
small Independents and large inde-
pendents. Each will be given a cer-
tain percentage to add to the whole
sale, or the distributors ceiling.
District OPA offices will add these
margins to wholesale ceilings and
publish results so every housewife
can check them.
As opposed to this, a price-con-
troll wrecking bill, draft Of which
is circulating here and on behalf of
which there is much visiting on the
Hill, would work this way:

Markups Limited

VI al Aupo LiuAlCu
Each store would be limited to
its gross markup of either 1941 or
the month of March, 1912, which
ever was most profitable. If a mer-
chant spent 100000 for goods or
foods in 1871 and sold it during the
year for s125,00O, he can make his
prices vary from day to day and
item to item as he pleases if he
doesn't exceed that 2596 gross
markup on cost for the year of
1943. There'd be no rea. checkup
until 1914.
One version provides that he
would have to figure the gross
markup on each item, for either
the month or the year. This is fav-
ored by Tyre Taylor, counsel for
the House Small Business Commit
tee, the Southern States Industrial
Council and the National Associa-
ton Of Retail Grocers. "But they'd
both work out the same," he said
cheerily.
Asked about this, OPA experts
agreed-that they'd both be unen-
forceable.

misnamed county court and not

for the first time, the bosses Of
New Deal unionism have had
the cynical effrontery TO put

risen To the command of a po-
litical fief called an assembly

also assumed an irish name for
reasons of his own.

did not know Costello was a
racketeer.
