The other side of this somewhat
gloomy picture, however, was a
bright one. County Agricultural
Commissioner B. A. Harrigan said
Tuesday he believed harvesting and
extraction difficulties will be over

the hope that success in growing
great quantities of the milkWeed

it may not be far away.
Experiments in the growing cryp-
tostegia have been carried on in
Russia. also Experiments in the
United States have been carried on
at Bard in eastern Imperial county,
and in the Indio, Coachella, Oasis,
Yuma and Thermal areas.
Harrigan Monday obtained a 80

Brown, who became head of OPA

Brown said the new program of

African
Film, at
All Houses
BY CHARLES GENTRY

CAT THE FRONT viii be
shown on all the film fronts this
Friday.
For the first time, the Fox,
Michigan, United Artists and
Palms-State will a. have the same
special feature. "At the Front"
is the first technicolor view of
action on the African front and
1T is supposedly so sensational
that every first run house wants
to show IL right away.
Well, the army and navy have
no objections because il was their
lcameramen who took these amaZ-
Ing shots, and-then- the whole
thing was compiled and edited by
1t. Col. Daryl F. Zanuck, the
former head of Twentieth Century
Fox Pictures, who has twice Wis
iited the scene of all the current
action.
THE REAL THING
There is no plan or plot 10
these scenes of actual action,
showing American troops in the
infantry, in tanks, in planes and
in the paratroop divisions, all
fighting 10 gain control of the
northern part of the African con-
Itipent.>
FROM the opening scenes of a
review OF the Foreign Legion by
American and French officials,
Through the conveying episodes
from Algiers to Bone, 10 the final
stand of sinking ships and flaming
planes, this chronicle is techni-
color tale of the real thing
II has the newsreel quality of
factuality about il. II doesn't try
to persuade you in propagandistic
fashion that victory is right
around the corner. II is simply an
extremely exciting document of
what's cooking on the African
front.
NEED FOR MORE
This is the kind of film we're
sure that more people at home
want 10 see and we hope that
both army and navy agencies will
release more of these reels as
soon Is they can be developed.
AT the Front in North Africa" -.
incidentally came 10 the fore in
the recent discussion in Congress
when representative Will Rogers
Ir. pointed il out as one of the.
many films which have helped
build morale in the armed forces.
Pictures which have been taking
beating on the floor Of the lower
house, have found few defenders
as strenuous AS young Rogers. who
was IN uniform until his election
last November.

Seen as buhress Of
Postwar Production
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. IS
No more than $l50,O00,00O need
move out of this country for postwar
relief If the financial formula now
getting top consideration is adopted
by the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration.
That formula asks that contribut-
ing nations pay not less than 10 per
cent Of their contribution in gold or
foreign exchange.
That could mean for this country
80 per cent of our contribution OF
81 $50 900 900, could be spent in this
country for materials ana services
moving to the war zones.
According to the financial experts
1t Is as simple as this:
l. This country would be asked to
appropriate, over a probable two
year period, $500, 900 900, the ex-
pected American contribution.
2. OF that sum, $3.50 900 900 will be
turned over to the UNRRA either
in gold or dollars.
3. This country may have sur
pluses needed in the war zones which
can be shipped abroad and credited
against the remainder of the pro-
jected American contribution.
Could Buy Own Surpluses.
1t could mean that If this country
has surpluses in wheat, dried milk
farm equipment and machine tools,
the American contribution would be
spent in this country for those sup
plies, thereby keeping at work the
men who turn out the wheat. the
milk, farm equipment and machine
tools
1t could be desirable for the
United States to spend more than
10 per cent in gold and foreign
exchange. Financial experts say
