LONDON, Aug. 81 fUP)-Ameri-
can medium bombers. pushing an
offensive to smash Nazi airpower,
attacked the Polk airfield in north
France today after Raj night raid
ers rested to give battered. panic
stricken Berlin its first bomb-free
night in four nights.
Fighters escorted end covered the
medium bombers during their at
tack on the airfield. one of the
principal bases for German inter
ceptors that have teen harassing
British and American bombers
during raids on Axis Europe.
Watchers on the English south
east coast said considerable num-
bers flew at great height toward
north France this morning.
ONLY ACTIVITY
The only night activity reported
by the air ministry was an attack
by naval aircraft operating with
the RAF fighter command on
enemy shipping in the channel and
routine mining operations. Four
mine-sWeepers were damaged by
the naval planes without loss.
While no official explanation was
given for the interruption in the
bombing assault on Berlin, it was
assumed that weather over the
continent was bad enough so that
even the twin engined Mosquito
bombers which took over the at
tack the two previous night could
not operate.
PREPARE BLOWS
However, the bomber command
was believed using the period of
..l.Jrced lull to prepare new ant
stronger blows against the German
capital.
Travellers reaching Switzerland
from Germany said the British
night raids have terrori2ed the

VERSATILE LADY

Back in Hollywood, where she
started 80 cars ago, Lillian Gish
still remains the only woman who
ever wrote, directed. produced and
cut motion picture. The film
was "Remodeling Her Husband" !"
starring sister Dorothy in 1921. 1t
cost $4,000 and earned 100000.
In fact, Lillian cut most of her
own pictures.
She's slated to play several
other screen roles soon. But most
OF all, Lillian Gish wants to play
Lillian GiSh in the story of Holly
wood as seen through d. w. Grif-
fith's eyes.
And some day." she says, sit
will be filmed"
Imperial Valley press., 1943-08-27
HOLLYWOOD
nv ERCEINE JOHNSON

ron BRING, Miss Gish has written
the story of d. w. Griffith. which,
as she says, is the story of Holly
wood.
It's a better story than George
NJ. Cohan's," she says. "A cavA-
cade of the screen with a terrific
nostalgia appeal"
For three years Lillian says she
has been trying to interest Holly
wood in the story, in which she
would play herself.
producers tell me, Yes, Lillian,
it IS a great story. Maybe some
day And then nothing happens.
I talked to Myron Selznick (the
film agent about it once He said
it was a great story, too. Then his
brother, David produced "A Star Is
Born I sent them kidding tele-
gram about using my idea and their
attorneys replied, in a three-page
letter, saying there was no similar
ity. I guess there wasn't"
THANKS FROM MAYER
Lillian says she talked to Louis
B. Mayer about it once, too.
1T IS a great story he said,
and then he thanked me for start
ing him. He said he was a small
town exhibitor when The Birth of
a Nation was released. He knew
the picture was a hit. So he pawn
cd his wife's wedding ring and
mortgaged an insurance policy to
buy the picture for his theater.
The film made him a small for
tune.
Nov I hear Mr. Mayer is about
to glorify molten pictures in film
called The First Fifty Years. But
they tell me it isn't the story of
d. w. Griffith"
And not until Hollywood does
film the story of Griffith, says
Lillian, will Hollywood capture the
real, romantic story of motion
pictures. "A Star Is Born" and
Hollywood Cavalcade" both failed,
she says.
At AZ, Lillian Gish looks so young
the Universal studio makeup de-
partment had to pencil lines on her
face for her first screen role in ten
years as Donald O'Connor's mother
in Man of the Family"
1t was a combination of her work
on the stage in Life With Father"
and the war which brought Lillian
back to the town where she
reigned for Is years as the first
lady of the screen. Life" made
Hollywood "Gish-conscious" again.
The war stopped her from making
annual trips to Europe between
seasons on the Broadway stage,
where she'd been ever since she
quit the screen.
"Some people said I didn't have
the voice for talkies. l still have
the same voice. Now they say it's
good. Which proves 1 was right.
Voice recording the voices
were bad in those days"

directly to year-round labor recruit

the answer to all this two-sideo
argument? have one although
there are others and we don't know
which is the correct one. Establish
pharmacy corps-YES-but not
at the expense of the medical adj
ministrative corps but in addition
to the MAC. We are all needed to
win this war but hardly at the cost
of cutting some mems Threats to
aid others. We are all on the same
side-remember? g. Ii '..t -.
I. To some it may seem that my
points have been put forth with
the idea that if the MAC were
abolished would be out of a job,
lose my. commission, or sent out to
points unknown: This is a false
impression due to the fact that I
am also a registered pharmacist and
if pharmacy corps were established
I would be materially benefited. In
a year and half of active service
I have had the opportunity to prac-
tice the art of pharmacy none what
soever. AS with anything, if you
don't practice you forget many of
the necessary details in your work.
However, as much as I need prac-
tice in pharmacy the army needs
the medical administrative corps
much more. Anyone supporting the
formation of a pharmacy corps
should be thanked and encouraged
but it is hoped that you remember
that if there had not been a dire
need for an administrative corps in
the medical department the army
would not have gone to the time,
trouble, and expense of setting up
two large schools for the training
of MAC officers. -.
, No hard feelings Lee. We both
have our point, We just see it
from different angles. incidentally,
your training as a pharmacist will
be of great value to yous and will
help a lot if you'd apply for OCS
MAC. IF they do establish a phar-
macy corps later you can transfer
so you haven't lost anything.
Very sincerely yours,

1t must be remembered that the
shortage of vital drugs in no way
reflects on the efficiency of the

drugs are presumably going over

drugs are and will continue to be

Richland, :Wn.

Dear Sir:
We had word today that our
son Bruce Lucke was on his way
la1ome. He has had an honorable
discharge on account of his eyes.
We were surprised when they ac-
cepted him as he has had to wear
glasses since he was six years old.
After he had had his basic train
ing they found he could not get by
if his glasses were lost or broken,
so they put him in limited service.
He writes that they consider
farming very important down there
and they asked him down to the
littlest detail just what we raised
here. They then told him most
any man was of more value on the
farm then in the army when they
raise crops like we do here.
He has I know enjoyed the paper
a lot as he has mentioned it many
times in his letters. He said it
tickled him so, a Prosser boy who
was there always about time for the
paper to come. This boy was at
his elbow at mail call to get a
look at the paper I think you
are doing wonderful work for
our boys and I'm sure We mothers
and dads appreciate it as much or
more then they do.
