War, A. l.. Shafer, Pacific area

Pate. Prisoners relief measures
have grown from a million packages
despatched in the first three

packing centers-in Philadelphia.
New York, and Chicago-where wo-
men volunteers are preparing Pri-
soners of War Food parcels. These
packing centers have a capacity of
six million parcels a year, which
will go to American and United Ma
tions prisoners.
The Committee, headed by Mr..
Allen, will set in an advisory cap
aclty to Chairman Davis, and also

erning Red Cross prisoners relief
measures. Mr. Allen, a former Dis
trlct OF Columbia Commissioner.

Technical
Men Work
For Movies
BY RORRIN COONS


HOLLYWOOD-It's an old say
ing that everyone has three bust
nesses-his own, the newspaper
profession and motion pictures.
In the case of the movies, it ap-
parently true. They have become
everyone's business, because they
deal with everyone's business.
Substantiating this is the huge
heterogeneous assemblage of tech
nical advisers, experts and directors
working in Hollywood, helping film
producers to turn out accurate por-
! trayals of various businesses, call
iings and adventures.
Visit any studio and you'll see
dozens working on different pic
lures, which indicates the extent
to which the industry is branching
out for new story material.
On one set, you'll find an engi-
neer Of a large eastern chemical
company advising a camera crew
! how to film an authoritative story
on the chemical industry's role in
the war effort.
It's a story of plastics and other
products made from coal tar, of
magnesium retrieved from sea wa
ter for bombers, and of artificial
rubber made in bathtubs.
On an adjoining set is Nine. H
H. Chung, wife of former Chinese
minister to Czechoslovakia and Po-
land. She recently arrived from
iChungking to assist in directing a
Chinese mission sequence in an
Oriental picture
There's a bombing raid in the
picture, too, and for that scene the
technical expert is Walter Pente-
cost, member of the former Amer
lean volunteer group of fighter pi-
lots, who battled the Japs to a
standstill in China with a mere
handful of planes.
Jamiel Hasson, native of Damas-
Gus, served as an authority on a
current film depicting Arabian his
tory and culture, while Nine. Hilda
Grenier, for two years a dresser to
the British royal family. assisted
in a picture that portrays the life
of Queen Victoria.
With so many war pictures in
the making, technical experts from
all branches of military service are
practically having a field day in
Hollywood.
1t. John Rhodes Sturdy of the
Royal Canadian Navy was assigned
by his government to assist in film
ing picture of allied convoy action
with corvettes in the north Atlantic.
He has just completed a Is months
hitch aboard a corvette in those
waters.
Another soldier with an exciting
background, here as technical adj
wiser, is 1t. Robert Eisner of the
French army. He fought in the
Maginot line, later escaped from a
German prison camp to French
West Africa, and made his way
here!
But what happened to the news
paper angle to this story?
Oh. yes-two newspaper pictures
now are in the making and, to be
sure, real honest-to-g oodnes S
scrlbes are serving as technical in
structors.
