VIRGINIA BRUCE
 LIKES TO RELAX,
 BUT WHEN! HOW!
BY ROBIN COoNs

HOLLYWOOD - Ordinarily the announcement of a new movie TO- mantle team leaves us somewhat less than palpitating with excite ment, but when it became known that George Sanders and Virginia Bruce would pair off in something called International Zone" we reached up on the shelf, took down an old dusty Gee, Whiz!' and said it, right out loud: Gee, Whiz!'
 For here was not the usual prom ise of fiery passion, of deathless love in the face of death, though doubtless these choice cliches will appear in the ads Here was some thing different, the romantic team ing of a master of shut-eye with a graduate student of relaxation.
 Scooting out to Virginia's six acre retreat in Pacific Palisades, We had entrancing visions of the possibilities. Leonid Moguy, the di- rector, ready to shoot scene Over in some dark corner of the stage, stretched out in chair snoring gently, the Prince of Languor, MT.

TorMen Who Shave >Daily|
Special Preparation Soofhes Skin, Saves Time
Needs No Brush

For men who must shave every day doctors, lawyers, businessmen and others Glider is invaluable. It is special cream for daily shaw CTS. It is neither sticky nor greasy.
 To use Glider, first wash your face with hot water and soap to remove grit and oily sebum that collect on whiskers every "A hours. Then spread on Glider quickly and easily with your fingers. Never brush.
 Glider inssonsiy smooshs down the flaky top layer of your skin. It enables the razor's sharp edge to glide over your skin, cutting your whiskers close and clean without serepjng os irrisosing your skin. Glider eliminates much of the irritation that frequent shaving may have for the tender face, and leaves your skin smoother, cleaner.
 Glider is made by the 100-year- oldJ. B. Williams Company. Try it!

Nazis Report Stain
May Meet Churchill
And Roosevelt Soon
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. THE German
radio speculated today that new
meeting of President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill. in which
Premier Stain might possibly join,"
was imminent.
The broadcast, apparently a trial
balloon, was recorded by the Asso-
ciated Press. Presumably the pur-
pose of any such meeting would be
to adopt further plans in view of
Mussolini's custer and the approach
ing climax in Sicily.
London newspapers yesterday fea-
tured reports from Washington that
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
might confer again soon in a sixth
wartime meeting.
Reports Unconfrmed.
All these reports, however, were
without authoritative confirmation
or denial. Censorship prevents men,
ton of the movements of any of the
Allied war leaders.
The German radio, broadcaSting
a Transocean dispatch, said:
Commenting on rumors of Anglo
Americana Russian discussions, poll
tical quarters here declare that
there exist indeed difficulties be-
tween the Allies needing settlement.
In fact, they have increased since
Casablanca and the last Roosevelt
Churchill meeting, the Wilhelm
strasse states. Neutral reports point
to tension between Moscow and the
Polish government-in- exile, to Mos
cows German committee and to the
status of the French National Com
mittee.
Question of Risk.
But this Is not all, it is declared
here. There was very much the
question of whether such an inter-
Allied meeting could be arranged
and whether the Allies would risk
it, in the opinion of the Wilhelm
StraSse.
In view of Russian demands the
outcome of such a meeting could
not be foretold Undoubtedly, Allied
relations would be subjected to
severe test. ahitherto evaded.
Whether the fumors about
meeting of Churchill. Stain and
Roosevelt have any foundation in
facts is not discussed here. It is
merely pointed out that they come
from Anglo American sources, while
Russian sources state that Stain is
on tour of inspection along the
Russian front"

the impression I think the war is
over by any means"
The selective service director is
scheduled to testify tomorrow before
a House Military Affairs Subcom-
mittee on the West Coast investi-
eating the effect of the draft on
war industry.
Meanwhile, 1t was announced here
that selective service headquarters
has empowered local draft boards to
waive the usual screening examina-
ton before placing in IA men reg
istered with them, but now living
elsewhere-thus speeding the induc-
ton Of out-of- State registrants.
A spokesman said the purpose
was to facilitate classification of
men in communities where it is
difficult or impossible for them to
have screening examination. He
expressed the opinion that in actual
practice there would be little use
of the waiver power.
Weeds Out Detectives.
Ihe screening examination is the
preliminary physical test and is in
tended to weed out from prospective
inductees those with obvious phys
ical defects making them unfit for
service.
Under current practice arrange
ments are made for the screening
examination in the community
where the registrant is living. A
man registered with an Arizona
board and living in Washington,
for instance, would be given the
preliminary examination here on

was washing Mud had seeped up.
10 and II feet deep in places. Some
divers sunk into the ooze over
their heads.
Their greatest danger was the
fine splinters of spun glass from
the insulation system. The glass
could have torn holes in their
water tight suits and they'd have
drowned before they could scramble
up through the topsy -turvy in
terror.
The first job was to get out the
debris: 5000 tons Of the stuff. There
were 5000 pounds of broken glass.
That done. the divers had the
plain hull. with its walls, to worry
about. And the mud They took
huge suction pipes down into the
hold to get it out, 10000 cubic feet
of mud.
Then they plugged the holes.
Next they divided the ship into IA
'watertight compartments. by build
ing b,lkheads which went down
from the waterline inside the boat
to the port side of the ship resting
on the mud.
That meant tremendous amount
of cabin walls had to be cut through
and cleared out, to make way for
system of IA reservoirs from which
the water could be pumped in a
controlled manner.
Bulkheads Helped.
You see, it was perfectly possible
that the stern might prove more
buoyant than the bow Or the other
way round. That could have caused
trouble If the water was pumped out
of the whole ship at once. But,
with the bulkheads, if the stern
fioated first, the pumping could be
stopped in the after compartments
while the pumping continued for
ward.
The mud under the hull was An
uncertain quantity. When the
pumping started, and the ship be-
came lighter and tried to float
how much suction would the mud
exert?
To meet that more pumps were
rugged. One set slowly forced air
between the hull and the mud. An
other forced water. Like pushing
a knife under the top Of can to
pry it loose.
The pumps were specially rigged,
on hinged platforms, attached to
pulleys. AS the ship swung upright
the pumps kept level, swinging on
the hinged platforms.
This salvage job will cost $3.50
900. In addition the Navy had
spent about $4,000, 900 to trans
form the Normandie into troop
ship. before she turned over. Most
of the work had to be scrapped in
the salvage. Then the Navy had
to buy the adjoining pier for $500
900.
There's also the item OF the origi-
nal cost: About S59,00O000. We II
have to haggle with France over
that, come the end of the war.

 The governor withdrew his previ- ous appointment Of Warren r. Cres- sey, Stamford, as a member of the state board of pardonS, and sub- stituted David r. Goldstein, Bridge port. The change was necessary to keep the political balance of the bi- partisan board.
 Gov. Baldwin planned a conler- once with legislative leaders on q proposal to give prosecution author ity to municipal and state courts in the cases of vlolators of OPA regu- lations. With this legal authority, the governor said the courts would be able to wipe out the menace of black markets which now threaten the OPA price regulations structure.
 An effort was to be made today In the Senate to obtain considera- ton of state labor relations act, which Gov. Baldwin said yesterday he had been told by labor and legis- lative leaders would be "unwiSe" at this time. The bill was in the Sen- ate on an un!avorable report, and Sen. James P. Geelan, D., New Ha- ven, moved 1t be taken from the foot of the calendar and made the order of the day. Unless the mo- ton is carried by majority vote, the bill will be lost this session.
