School, in this case, was a
complete course in how to be
Seabee. Naval authorities wanted
to make certain that the 81 ,500,-
600 production would be good
recruiting advertisement.
Heretofore very little has been
told, either in picture or news
print, about the activity of the
Seabees. The general public is
vaguely aware of their existence.
1t knows that Seabees have Al
ways been in the vanguard of
attacking units and have given
their lives so that installations
could be set up for combat or
ganizations to use later. But their
record hasn't been heavily pup
licized.
They are the men in front of
the men behind the gun.
Fought AT Salerno
An example. of this is the at
tack on Salerno when Seabees
moved onto the beach and held
fast through that first horrible
night of bitter fighting When
dawn broke, several Allied units
had withdrawn to the off-shore
boats, but the Seabees, like the
Star Spangled Banner, were
proudly hailed as they had been
at the twilight's last cleaning. !"
Thus it is no wonder that the
Navy stressed the importance of
depicting, in vivid and searching
detail, the vital importance of
the Seabees as a branch of the
service.
Headed by Commander Bolton,
the naval liason officers started
giving Director Ludwig funda-
mentals in generalship. Ludwig
mentals in generalship.
The trends in modern warfare
and methods of directing battles
have changed sharply in the past
four years. But Ludwig has fol-
lowed the campaigns and has
read all the books he could find,
so that he would know just what
differences have arisen.
After instruction on the battle
techniques had begun, it was also
decided to give the director les
sons that would help him work
out his scenes tn t required
engineering. Ludwig, therefore,
went into other studies, learning
how to lay out airfields and in
stallations for construction gangs.
Fighting And Building
The training for these two
separate branches of knowledge
constitute the elements of Seabee
courses - fighting and building.
Ludwig then chose the sites

picture and directed the working
parties and told his soldiers how
he wanted the battle lines set up.
He also maneuvered the fighting
sequences, much as a general
would, except III he used a
public address system instead of
the walkie-talkies that are used
in field action.
Had Ludwig been troubled only
by these two problems, his job
would d have been difficult
enough. However, he coupled
these two tasks with the work of

his camera angles and keeping
his production going on schedule.
For the airfield construction
work, Ludwig insisted on the
utmost reality. He was not being
temperamental about it, for he
knew, as did technical director,
Lieut.. Commander William Nc

people who have been through

Business In State
Shows Increase In
June Over Lost Year

Mississippi business in June
was 10 per cent better than a
year ago, according to the Mis-
sissippi Business Review" pub
lished monthly by the Business
Research Station Of the School of
Business and Industry at Missis-
sippi State College. Life insur-
ance sales, bank debts, and in
creased tax collections were re-
sponsible for a large percentage
of the increase.
June business stood at 233 per
cent of the Business Research
Stations index to general bust
ness activity. This index uses the
1939-40 average rs 100 or normal.
The average on the monthly gains
for the state during the IL months
ending June 30. 1914, was al
most l3 percent.
Life insurance sales and the
one dollar registration license
showed gains in excess of 35 per-
cent over Juno 1913. Life insur-
ance sales hit the highest peak
for the five-year period charted
by the Business Research Station.
Bank debts were almost II
percent above June a year ago.
The weight of war bond purchases
helped to push bank debts up
substantially. Postal receipts
moved up 10 percent. Other indi-
Gators showed mild increases.
with the single exception of mon
ey orders issued, which were more
than 20 percent short of June,
1913.
Although several new oil wells
were brought into production dur
ing the month, petroleum produc-
ton continued at q lower rate
than a year ago. Most interest
was focused on the Heidelberg
Field, but the Natchez field re-
ceived considerable attention.
The oil severance tax Melted the
state nearly $4,000 for June, a
decrease of almost 3 percent from
May.

first County Council would be
elected in the middle of January
in a special election. The Demo-
cratic organization vote will be
stronger in that election in which
fewer voters will participate than
either the gubernatorial or the
presidential elections where more
citizens are attracted to the polls.
'The Charter supporters will
probably be badly split by a large
number of candidates in this first
councilmanic election, because it
will be impossible to include among
9 candidates for the County Coun-
Gil all those who feel that they have
done important work for the Char
ter cause and who may want the
honor and recognition of being
elected among the first members
of the County Council. There will
probably be a Civic Federation
slate, with a number of candidates
representing other groups as well
as political factions and parties.
The regular Democrats will un
doubtedly get together in support
of 8 Democratic candidates or 6
Democratic candidates aid two or
three other candidates who will
have individual or group support
added to their Democratic
strength, thus making it most pro-
bable that the Democratic organi-
zation will win. With the regular
Democratic organization in control,
it's County Council members will
then appoint the members of the
first personnel board and the first
$4,000 a year County Manager,
who might be Brooke Lee. The
Democrats probably will then pro-
coed to blanket all of their depart
ment heads, assistant department
heads and office personnel into the
County jobs.
FINALLY, I particularly object to
the so-called veto provisions con-
tanned in the Charter which are
contrary to our entire concept Of
legislative government in that they
remove the checks and balances
which are so fundamental and es-
sential to our government. 1t isn't
likely that the Council will veto
with its left hand what it did with
it's right hand few days before.
"There are too many real dang
ers involved in this Charter to
make it wise for the people of
Montgomery County to vote for
