New Film On

By HARRY S. McALPIN
(WashingtOn Bureau of Atlanta
Daily WORLD and NNPA)

WASHINGTON, d C.-(SNS)
An enthusiastic reception was
given the War Departments film,
'The Negro Soldier" shown Mon
dav to select mixed audience of
Negro and white military and
civilian leaders at the Pentagon
building.
The picture, which runs for AZ
minutes, will be given free distri-
button to commercial and neigh
borhood theatres throughout the
country provided there is a sufti-
Gent public, demand for it
The general comment from both
Negroes and whites who attenoed
the advance showing, represented
the press, and various national Or
CARNATIONS.
BEST PRODUCTION YET
Church and school leaders felt
that the film was the best thing
yet done on the Negro. 1t is edu-
cational, and inspiring, and will
serve as grand purpose in
morale building when shown to
Negro audiences.
It's greatest contribution will be
in its educational value to white
audiences, according to War De-
partment and Owl officials.
The scene opens in Negro
church, where the minister is in
spired to deviate from his pre-
pared sermon by the presence of
guest soldier in the choir. He
chooses to talk about the Negro
soldier instead.
After constrasting a declaration
of independence and the conStitu-
ton of the United States with
Hjtler's Mein Kampt, the minister
reviewed the role the Negro has
played in building this country
and in helping to preserve it
through participation in all of the
wars from the Revolution to World
War No. 2. The accomplishment of
this minoriay group of Americans
in science, law, education, sports
and war are touchingly portrayed
AS medium for featuring bet
ter race relations, both in the
Armed Forces and on the home
front, the film is superb But it is
also entertaining with not a
single dull moment occurring In
the az minutes it requires to run.
The technical production and di-
rectiOn are both excellent.

SENATE WRITES
TAX PENALTIES
Oppose Hobby Enter
prises Operated AT A Loss
For Five Years

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is II
Working through maze Of tech
meal language, the senate wrote
into the new revenue bill today an
amendment fixing tax penalties
against individuals who operate
hobby enterprises such as horse
racing stables at a loss for five
consecutive years.
Characterized as the Marshall
Field amendment by Senator
Clark D-Mo), the proposal was
adopted on a 81 to 26 vote af-
firming its previous approval bv
the finance committee. The action
cleared away another barrier to
final disposal OF the tax bill some
time next week. Still in issue was
a house provision requiring labor
unions to file financial returns.
Led by majority leader Bark
ley D-Ky), opponents charged the
''hobby-loss" amendment, which
still is subject to house action,
would place an unfair tax on in
dividuals who entered businesses
in which losses must be absorbed
in the early years in order to lay
the foundation for later profits.
As it was approved by the SEN
ate, the amendment would limit
to $4,000 the amount of loss
which would be deducted in one
year for an enterprise. if there
had been no profit for five years.
Thus if the actual loss in 1914
was $4,000. only $4,000 could be
charged off in balancing against
other income.
Barley told his colleagues that
the amendment not only would
affect such men as racing stable
owners, but Everybody"

amendment in committee in the
belief that it would curb some OF

The Russians, last reported at

The midnight bulletin did not
identity several localities declar-

that in the fighting 1880 Germans
were killed and 16 tanks and guns
destroyed. One entire column of
Germans was completely routed

GERMANS MASSED
ON TURKISH Line
Bulgaria No Longer Feels
Confident OF Turks
Continued Neutrality

LONDON, Jan. 15-CP)-Round-
about dispatches reaching London
through Stockholm reported TO-
night new German troop concen-
trations along the Bulgarian-Turk-
ish frontier.
The stories purporting to come
from Sofia, contained nod etails,
but the reports fell into a pat
tern with others which have come
from Bulgaria recently.
Shortly after President 1smet
Inonu of Turkey returned from
his Cairo conferences with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill, there were reports
that Bulgarian and German gar
risons along the Turkish border
were being strengthened and last
weekend dispatches to Stockholm
said that Bulgaria no longer felt
confident of Turkeys continued
neutrality and called the situation
in Sofia tense.
The Budapest radio said today
the citizens of Sofia, bombed
twice this week, were packing
trains leaving the city and that
all other large cities, in Bulgaria
besides the capital had been or
dered evacuated Immediately.
The two big air raids were said
to have killed more than 900 per-
sons and wrecked about ten per
cent of the capital, including the
ministries of interior and finance,
the :. national theater and town
hall.
Bodies were still lying in the
wreckage, the broadcast said.
