Six boys from DS have returned to Bradley Field during the past week, but I am afraid that their hearts are still in "Guna." Person ally, I think that we came to the rescue just in time, because in an other month they would have been swinging by their tails. However, after careful investigation l found that much of their happiness was due to a certain girl named "Lee." " She really showed the boys a good time and honored them with fare we'll party fit for kings. It's too bad that we boys here at Bradley didn't hear about this Fairy God mother sooner-otherwise we'd all be putting in for transfer to that Central Africa atmosphere.

WHO A1kU WI16L ID Wuc11s AAG NS@Ao and laughter, the gossip and the gadabout, the day by day experi- ences and interests of Bradley people.
 Speaking of interests we note that Cpl. "G.I." Engler of 841st G.S. has special purpose in wis iting the Main PIX soda fountain. What is is, Corporal, a question of Sundae, Monday or Always :?
 That must indeed have been a "whirlwind" honeymoon and mar riage that Cpl. William Fullertin of General Mess had. He has been in the Hospital ever since. All the boys of 18th A/B are wishing you a speedy recovery, William.
 Many of the Groton and Bridge port Boys are back at Bradley renewing old acquaintanceships. Above the roar and hubbub can be heard the one and only Maxie Glazer. To him it was just like old home week. But now that he has settled down a bit and become at tached to the Base Infrmary, we notice that he takes a more than passing interest when the name of Miss Lillian Sugerman of Civilian Personnel is mentioned. So far as can be determined it is a match being promoted by the Joint Matri- monial Council of the Base Infrm- ary and Civilian Personnel, rates and success stories furnished on request.
 Pfc. "Jeep Shorty" Gadson of 36th Aviation is supposed to have pulled this classic when asked how it was that he had so little trouble going to sleep at night. "Oh, 1 just count Jeep till I doze off," he re- piled.
 The PIX seems to be the main point of interest for a number of G.I. Joes these days, not the least of which is S/Sgt. Bellerose of the Medics who is said to have his eye on Stella. We have heard that one about beilng an old friend of the family before.
 It's tough to know about this Cpl. Tweedle of 841st G.S., and Rosemary of the PIX, matter. She works at the jewelry counter and it is hard to decide whether he is paying attention to her or all the rings which are displayed under his nose. After all, that really is talk ing unfair advantage of fellow, Rosemary, especially since it's Leap Year, too.
 Speaking of Leap Year, it seems a little dangerous to us for Sgt. Steer of 29th A/B to sit around so long over his coffee at PIX while an especially cute bus girl hovers around and huns something about "Give me a star to Steer me by."
 We thought that was an extra good buy our friends at the Sales Commissary were offering the oth- CT day. They ran an announcement in the Bradley Bulletin saying they had fine assortment of hard can dies for sale at 12 cents pound, 5 pounds for 6Oc. That would be, lets see, $1.2O for 10 pounds, $12.OO for 100 pounds or $240.O0 per ton. We figured the thing out to five places and it still came out to 12c a pound so it seems it wouldn't pay to buy it by the ton. In fact we came to the conclusion that it wouldn't pay to buy it in pound lots for 6Oc either. We'll just take one pound, please.

ing impact of poverty, starts the
picture on its way, but is supplanted
subsequently by others of less force,
and great deal less novelty.
The major dramatic development
OF the picture centers in Grants
character. He, not the mother. is
the tragic figure of None But the

gerous pride to those who impede it.
He is attractive to women, and even
men are warned to look at him a
second time in order to see what
they may have missed by accepting
fthe domination of system which
The furiously rejects.
Grants role in None But the
Lonely Heart" is one that requires
the major attention Of the camera,
which is all to the good, plus the
sound track, which unhappily is not.
On the latter, most of the characters
speak in cockney dialect which
makes their words a bit thick. and
profoundly not to the advantage of

time the adjustment is made to the
speech of the players, interest in it
has largely been lost, which certain

of those who reasonably assumed
that this was screen story that |
had something to say.
The main thing that is said in
the Keith opus is that the idealists
out OF the lower stratum have a |
hard time realizing the funda-
mental things of life, those that
would give them Wilderness which |
might really enable them to over
come their environment. In this in
stance, it is love between the hero
and the bewildered blond who turns
out to be the divorced wife of the
villain.
He Is trapped. she is trapped, and
so are all the others in the script
and there is nothing that any of
them can do except conform to Mr. |
Odets' philosophy that this is a
very sordid world and mat no good

number of things whicn have been
said to the contrary, not merely by
political candidates, but by lot

looks more like a soapbox upon
which Director Clifford Odets has
climbed to speak his old, bitter piece

production which represents Mr..
Odets' work as a director-writer.
The pretentiousnesS and tedium that
have found their way into it leave
considerable room for Skepticism
that the studio should have allowed
Mr. Odets that much scope. Perhaps
he should have been limited to the
writing, with more experienced di-
rector around to point out that exag-

can turn poignance into a pathetic
