Spencer Tracy almost had MGM
brass hats in the screaming jitters.
He Is so enthusiastic about his role
as the ragged refugee from a Ger
man concentration camp in his new
picture, The Seventh Cross" that
he decided he should have his head
shaved for the part.
He was already in the barber chair
at the studio when the grapevine
carried word of his intentions to the
production Office. A messenger
broke all speed records getting to the
barber shop to halt him. He was
persuaded to settle for a crew hair
cut about an inch long.
A shaved head on the great Tracy
would have been something!

Ruling Due Next Week
On Student Nurse Paw

A decision will be given early next
week, the controller generals Of
flee said today, on the legal COM
plications that have held up the pay
of 100 student nurses at St. Eliza
beth's Hospital for more than q
month.
Dr.. Winfred Overholser, superin-
tendent, has been urging the con-
troller general to settle the question

Christmas shopping done" Theil
pay, until the passage of the Bolton
Act last month, with overtime, was
about SAB month. from the hos
pitfalls Federal appropriation. The
Bolton Act, however. provided for
paying student nurses SIS a month
There are questions now of which
funds to pay nurses from. how much
and with or without overtime
The controller generals Office is
working on the problem. but refuses
to take responsibility for the un-
usually long delay. The Federal
Security Agency. under which St
Elizabeth's Hospital is administered
submitted only partial querry-on
overtime pay-to the controller gen.
eral in October, it was said. A
ruling was handed down November
10 that the student nurses were not
Government employees and were not
entitled to overtime
Not till November 80, the con-
troller generals Office said, did FSA
submit second and more compli-
Gated series of questions on nurse
payment. An attorney went to work
on it the day it was received, De-
cember /, and will finish lin a
couple of days the Office said.
DR. Overholser said there had beer
considerable inconvenience and en-
barrassment for the nurses because
OF the delay, particularly just before
Christmas. Two semimonthy pay
days have passed since they got theil
last checks

Navy Band Symphony
Gives Concert
Of Distinction
By ELENA DE SAYN.

A concert of distinction. one that
measured up to highest professional
standards, was given last night at
the Departmental Auditorium by
the United States Navy Band Sym
phony Orchestra under the direc-
ton of 1t. Charles Brendler.
Opening with the overture to
Smetana's The Bartered Bride" ="
the orchestra impressed one by the
accuracy of it's ensemble, beauty of
tone and the crystalline clarity of its
strings. 1t seemed as if the tiniest
note had received minute individual
attention before being fused into the
broad pattern of sound. The over
ture is one of those grateful num-
bers which displays perfection of
separate groups and especially that
of the various string sections. Each
made an exceptionally good showing
last night, not excluding the double
BASES.
1t. Brendler may be duly proud of
his orchestra which, having attained
technical perfection of the ensem-
BILE, needs now virtuoso's projection
of personality. Beethoven's Sym
phony No. 8, Op. 93,' excellently
played, lacked something of the
grand manner or that punch which
carried the performance of Oscar
Shumsky, violinist and soloist of the
evening. Mr.. Shumsky, who was
heard in the taxing b Minor Con-
certo," by Saint-Saens. gave it a
memorable reading. His tone has
gained in warmth. his interpreta-
ton in authority and his delivery
in greater artistic fervor He was
rewarded by we'll deserved ovation
and was enthusiastically recalled
several times. introduction and

Korsakoffs S lie Cog dor closed

annual conference held at Wilson
Teachers College.
Their questions ranged from ma
tional and international affairs to
the chances of getting newspaper
jobs themselves.
One youth, about to be drafted.
wanted to know whether he should
go to college after the war. He be-
lieved the war would last five more
years and pointed out that if he
went four years to college he would
have lost nine years before starting
his newspaper career.
