attention. harvesting scenes which
rival even those given the stars.
Here is a picture in which there
are no unimportant parts. On the
contrary, there are more outstand-
ing roles in it than any movie has
boasted in many year.
The reason for this is that Pro-
ducer-Director Mark Sandrich and
Writer Allan Scott, after talking
to the eight real nurses who re-
turned to America from Cor
regidor, had such wealth of truly
dramatic material from real life
events, that it would have been
beyond fictional license to have
only three or four characters live
them all, Therefore, each of the
dozen leading characters in the
picture has at least one great
scene. Many have more.
The three glamorous stars have
never been finer than in their
roles as Army nurses who work
side by side with the men they
love. Each Of them is equally inn
portant to the story; each has
equal emoting opportunity.
Few actors-even stars-have
had the variety of emotional range
given George Reeves, the young,
handsome player who gets his
first real acting break as Clau-
dette Colbert's romantic interest.

states general fund and avoiding
a return to boondoggling of the
past decade. He said specific bills
were being prepared to cover all
phases of his comprehensive plan.
A total of S600,000,000 in bonds
would be issued of which 100000, =
900 would be allocated to highway
improvement. A one cent addition
to the gasoline tax would meet bond
interest and redemption
AID TO COUNTIES
Another Sl00,000000 would be al
located as state aid to counties and
cities in providing adequate air
fields, hangers, beacons and air
transportation facilities, aided by
matched sums from the local gov
ernmentS. A one or two cent addi-
ton gasoline taxes would redeem
the amount.
Another $50,00OO0O would be held
for state aid TO schools, under 6
lease system to repay the bonds.
An important part of the plan
provides for farm financing, so that
thousands of war workers could
purchase farms without down pay
ment and spread the repayment
over long term of years-Similar
to the program for veterans to buy
homes.
Local county committees would
administer the farm plan. Jesper-
sen said this system would not only
increase production of food prod
uctS but relieve congestion in en-
ployment centers and help c~ te
a tremendous market for manutac-
tured goods.
SHOCK TAKEN UP
Under this series of bills. the
shock of unemployment could be
taken up by the public works pro-
gram and the final solution of the
So-called surplus of manpower could
be taken care of b. the farm pro-
gram-and this without any danger
to the financial structure of the
state" JeSperSen said.
During the last decade. the state
expended over S240,000,O00 for re-
lief, the cities and counties probably
contributed an equal amount, and
the federal government at least
twice that much. In other words,
