Allies
Are i'm
Accord
Agreements will
Be Signed Soon
By 3 Countries

WASHINGTON, Oct. ~.
(UP) = President Roosevelt
today hailed the Moscow con-
ference of foreign secretaries
as tremendous success and
said certain agreements already had
been reached.
He said documents embracing
these agreements would be signed
shortly
The chief executive outlined his
ideas on the form of a congressional
resolution defining this country's
foreign policy. He said he favored
the idea of keeping the resolution
in general terms which state that
this country will cooperate with
other nations toward the objective
of avoiding future wars.
NOT READY YET
Mr.. Roosevelt said the Moscow
agreements were not ready for sig
nature but that the tripartite talks
have been successful, not only in
definite items of agreement, but
in the spirit of the conference also.
The Moscow accomplishments, Mr..
Roosevelt said, refute the predictions
of cynics who thought the talks
would be clouded with suspicion
and accomplish little.
He said the Moscow conferees

100000 men to the western front in
the past IL months, including some
of the Wehrmacht's best shock

Strike Issue to
Be Legal Contest

Labor representatives limited Fri
day that the proposed strike of
electrical workers employed by the
Imperial Irrigation district may re-
solve into a hot legal battle and
test case.
1--WE would be glad to arrange a
meeting between Harry Horton, the
attorney for the irrigation district,
and David Sokol, attorney for our
union, so they could discuss the
legal points, Charles H. Rohrer,
representative of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
said Friday. I'VE get along with 10

the 40-hour week and guarantee

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 29.-(UP)-
German suspension of safe con-

The screams the whines and the
groans of torment which have beer
emanating from your radio sets
these days are only a manifestation
OF the increasing desire on the part
OF your kilocyclical friends to pro-
vide relaxation and perhaps escap-
ism from the pressure of war
They-the indulgent sponsors in
ciuded-feel that the average lis
tener is entitled to forget occasion
ally the realities around him and
seek refuge in good. juicy murder
bit Of phantasmagoria or a maniac
or two, AS only the dramatic arts
are capable of offering. Whether in
wartime or not, this seeming para
dox has existed, with progressively
greater emphasis. since the time of
Poe and Conan Doyle. 1t is reflected
today not only in that infant of
art forms. the radio. but in the
sharp influx of two-bit editions of
mystery novels on the literary
market and signs Of renewed ac-
tivity along the same lines in Holly
WoOO ana on Broadway.
Mystery tales are coming of age
A glance at the radio log and a keen
ear turned toward the loudspeaker
will prove that. In fact, it in large
part due to radio, which doesn't cost
even two-bits per mystery, that the
mystery-loving public's tastes have
become more discriminating. Credu-
llty is in demand, even a certain
reality within fantasy. The various
horror" shows reveal an interest in
the psychological, the human. as
poets OF violent crime. This is not
entirely true of all, naturally Some
appreciate humor; others, fast ac-
ton, and still others. sheer horror.
But wlthal, believable character de-
Velopment-aS much as can be
squeezed into lf-hour-or less
period-has become at least vi
the goal toward W Cue produc-
ton men strive. Moreover, as con-
Germs credulity. these specialists of
the chill take full and subtle advan
tage of the sound effect to create
atmosphere both real and ethereal
Music, of course, also serves a vital
purpose in this respect.
Fortunately, of the 13 (what a
number programs which bring
blood and touch of thunder to the
Eastern networks, the productive
genius behind them has managed a
notable degree of contrast. Among
the IL piped through local stations
the selection ranges from the other
worldly imaginativeness of Arch
Oboler's Lights Out" (CBS) to the
derring-do of "Mr. District Attor
hey" tNBC).
Mr.. Oboler, to whom avowedlv
the story is the thing" has brought
to his psychological mysteries the
same unstinted creativeness which
marked his topical dramatizations
last year. Working without bene-
mt OF guest star glamour, he has,
nevertheless, created some of the
most gripping yet plausible psv-
chopathic tales yet heard on the
air. His casts invariably are good.
