HOLLYWOOD UP There
was a time, says novelist Sim
clair Lewis, when writer's who
came 10 Hollywood couldn't ex-
pect 10 have more than 5 per
cent of their ideas listened TO or
adopted.
THAT was because neither
motion pictures nor audiences
had matured," Lewis adds.
Writers coming to Holly
wood these days 10 work in mo-
ton pictures Will find that they
can do at least 90 per cent of the
things they want 10 do in plot,
treatment suggestions and gen
eral handling of themcs--that is.
if they have an understanding,
Of the public mind of these
times"
Lewis is spending his "vaca-
ton" at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
by writing the screen story of
Storm in the West an ale
gorical super-W Western.
Now that there's such a va
riety of motion-picture produc-
ton methods and the public has
become more appreciative that
il a writer who has talent fails
10 find his way onto the screen
the fault is more likely to be his
than the fault OF the machine
with which he works" Lewis
explains.
He attributes this change in
public attitude 10 influences Of
such writers as Theodore Dreis-
er, Ernest Hemingway. John
Steinbeck and others who put
values, as TO what is interesting,
above contemporary taboos and
boldly wrote as they felt they
should write.
Such writer's have contribu-
ted, he continues, TO the edu-
cation of the public and have
cleared the way for great ad-
.vances in the studios choices of
themes for screen presentation.
There are still too many ia
boos, however, imposed by vari-
Gus groups IN the public. One
group, for instance, would like
pictures 10 have a flavor of re-
actionarism, another wants more
radical views, still another de-
mands middle course. Consid-
ering the pressure that is put
upon it, the picture industry is
doing an excellent job"
The novelist says he had been
writing steadily for two years
and that he finds motion-picture
writing so different and interest
ing that it actually is restful
vacation.

The final battle will be an in
cessant pounding by the Allies
at those Notifications of North
ern Tunisia where the enemy
has gathered to resist as long as
possible. But once the fortif1ca-
tions have been reduced there is
no escape.
The situation cannot be COM
pared In any way with the one
which confronted the British
armies in the summer of 1910.
The distance between Bizerte,
the only embarkation point for
the Axis forces to Sardinia, is
about 100 miles. And from the
French to the British coast is
less than 40 miles.
Small Craft Aided British.
All kinds of craft, from cruisers
to small private yachts and
tugboats, were used to transfer
the British forces home. The
distance was short enough to
permit some Of the vessels to
make four or five trips a day.
But the situation will be far diff
ferent If the Nazis decide to
evacuate their forces from Tu-
nisia.
Moreover, the Germans in
1910 had at their disposal only
planes and field guns to inter-
fere with the British withdrawal.
The guns of the British men of
war and the activity of the RAF
were able to cope with the Nazi
interference.
The Allies have a large feet OF
surface ships and submarines and
an air superiority in the Medi-
terranean theater. Even now,
during the height of the struggle,
there are few Axis planes to in
terfere with the Allied air forces.
The fleet under Admiral Arthur
Browns Cunningham is concen-
trated in the Western Mediter-
ranean, waiting for a chance to
pounce on the Nazi transports
should they attempt to evacuate
large forces from Bizerte.
Doubt Italian Fleet Will Fight.
Naval observers do not believe

will risk pitched battle against

chairman of the national COM
mittee and himself an opponent
of a third term nomination, was
adamant against this move. o.
viously, those Democrats who are
opposed to fourth term" nomi-
nation will now oppose a SINH
lar postponement of the party
convention.
AS matter of tact, the nation
al conventions of the two ma ior
parties In 1910, for the nomina-
ton of presidential candidates,
were later in the year by several
weeks than had been the custom.
The Republicans met in Phila-
delphia June "a, and nominated
Wendell L. Willkie. The Demo-
Gratis met in Chicago July IS, and
renominated President Roosevelt.
A late convention date for the
Democrats would be all in favor
of the fourth termers. If party
candidate were nominated the
last OF August or the LIST of Sep
tember, with a short two months
to campaign, it would be argued
reasonably enough that he must
be Franklin D. Roosevelt There
would not be enough time for
another candidate to campaign,
and become thoroughly known to
the voters. Campaign organiza-
tions are not perfected overnight,
either. They must be built
around a new candidate.
Roosevelt Sure of Nomina ton.
From the Republican point Of
view, such a brief presidential
campaign would be Objectionable
for much the same reasons.
Judging from the tart rejoinder
TO the Walker proposal, made by
Harrison E. Spangler, chairman
of the Republican National Com
mittee, the COP will not fall in
with the New Dealers plan. If
the Republicans nominate their
presidential candidate in June
or early July, it is unlikely that
the Democrats will postpone their
national convention either.
There seems not the slightest
doubt that the New Dealers in
tend to renominate President
Roosevelt. 1t is extremely doubt
1ul the anti-fourth termers and
anti-New Deal Democrats will
be able to stop them Back in
1899 there was strong anti-third
term talk on the part of many
Democrats. It evaporated fast,
however, in 1910. In the 1910
Democratic convention only 149
votes out of 1,10O were cast for
presidential candidates other
than Mr. Roosevelt.
The selection of the time and
place for holding the national
political conventions is made by
the national committees of the
two major parties. For many
years the Republicans have in
variably held their national con-

Nozis Believed Using Tunisio os Rehearsal
For Defense Against European Invasion

the Allied naval forces, even II
ordered by Germans.
The British American fleet is
superior to the Italian Navy not
only in quality, but in numbers.
Hence, it Is expected that the
Germans will give us much trou-
BILE in Tunisia. Their prospects
of being able to withdraw more
than a handful Of generals and
possibly some S. S. units which
could be taken to Sicily in sub
marine transports are small. The
battle for Tunisia must end with
another Stalingrad and not an
other Dunkerque.
Military observers here believe
the battle for Tunisia is the Ger
man high commands guinea pig.
Fight Is Dress Rehearsal.
Tunisia is a natural bastion.
Its natural obstacles have been
strengthened by man-made forti-
f1cations. The Allies have had
ample space for movement of
troops and amphibious operations
in landing forces in North Africa
and have been performing with
practically no opposition.
The Axis, on the other hand,
had to bring the necessary sup
plies and men from across the
Mediterranean.
The length of the resistance OF
the Axis forces fighting at dis
advantage will determine in the
Nazi general staf1's eyes their
chances of opposing a major as
sault by the Allies against the
much larger and far better forti-
flied European fortress.
To Berlin the battles in Tu-
nisia are nothing but a dress
rehearsal for the major battle
for Europe in which the Allies
will have to inch their way,
step by step, against Axis forces
boasting excellent lines of COM
munications and large stores of
ammunition and war material.
Sea Lanes Lose Importance.
Much has been said about the
Nazis not wanting to lose control
over Mediterranean sea lanes.
This control was important so
long as the Nazis expected to
take Egypt and the Suez Canal
by land from North Africa, but
from the moment the undertake
ing failed, the Mediterranean sea
lanes have become of slight i'm
portance.
The Germans still possess
island air and submarine bases
to interfere with Allied lines of
communicat ton from the Red
Sea.
The principal reason for ex-
tending the resistance in Tunisia
has been accomplished-that is,
time for completing the protect
Ing belt in Southern Europe.
Rommels continued hard fight
is believed due principally to the
fact that the Nazi high command
wants to learn by experiment
what chance it has of holding
the Allies after Tunisia falls.
