The North Star
 Due At Orpheum

A wildly told tale of a Rus sian frontier village and its be- roic people in the early days of the Nazi invasion is presented in Samuel Goldwyn's newest screen achievement "The North Star" coming attraction at the Orph- cum theatre.
 Said to be the most dramatic film of the year, it boasts a cast of Anne Baxter, Dana Andrews, Walter Huston, Walter Brennan, Ann Harding, Jane Withers, Farley Granger and Erich von Stroheim, and blends a touching romance with it's stirring plot.
 A small community near the Rumanian border is the setting for the picture, which opens on a spring harvest festival, when a group of school children are planning 8 walking tour to Kiev. A young air force bombardier home on leave is going with them, and the whole village is gay and happy, unaware of the fate in store for it.
 Crammed with breathless mo- ments of suspense and action to contrast with the scenes of gaiety and romance, the film is said to offer an exceptionally authentic portrait of Russian life and of the guerrilla fighting which char acterized the early phrase of the war. Miss Baxter and young Granger have the romantic roles, with Andrews playing the part of the bombardier, Huston that of a doctor, Miss Harding vll' Iage matron, Brennan as farm CT and von Stroheim as a Nazl surgeon.

ton OF America. last week. Miss
Marie Syrkin said that there were
undercover campaigns underway
now TO discredit democracy as
form of government.
Miss Syrkin, author Of Your

with a shrewd effort to infect
youth with defeatism and fascist
ideas by arousing racial and re-
ligious prejudice.
Only Generalities
The schools are unwilling TO

issues" Miss Syrkin said. Instead
they are talking in generalities

JUDGE and ignorance that exist in
many parts Of the country.

locomotive firemen-on two South
ern railroads. appeared through
counsel before Supreme Court last
week and argued that, the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen. barred Negroes and
made agreements with the roads

ment Of Negro firemen.
Negroes Barred
Speaking in behalf of the. plea
the Federal Government. through
Charles Fahy. Solicitor General
and Robert L. Stern, Special AS
sistant to the Attorney General and
the National Labor Relations Board
insisted that since the Union barred
Negroes, it was not acting in good
faith as representative Of a craft
The firemen requested that the
union represent all employee:
fairly and that an injunction be
issued against the enforcement oi
the union agreements with the car
riers.
Houston Defends
Charles H. Houston. attorney fol
the two firemen, argued that under
the principle of majority rule. the
majority could not use the govern
ment 10 exploit the minority.
He argued further that Negroe:
had been designated as "non-pro'
motables" which meant that white
firemen would take the places o.
Negroes despite long seniority.
Houston argued further that i
the railroads could bar Negroes
today, il later on would be able L
bar Catholics. Jews and even si'
feet men.
Argue No Jurisdiction
Harold o. Heiss. counsel for III,
Brotherhood. insisted that the cour
did not have jurisdiction becaus'
the Congress does not legislate oil

Disseminated against on the rail
roads OF the United States but IN
sisted that that was a policy OF III
