san's Creek" being advertised as
Hilarious" that depends on this
situation to have the cash GUS
toners rollin gin the aisles: A
young girl marries a service man
when they are on a drunken party
and afterward she can't remember
the phoney name she gave or the
name he gave on the marriage
license. When she discovers that
she is to have baby-the movie
gets even more hilarious.
What good does it do for par
ents to struggle to get their kids
through the hysterical war years
unscathed, and for educators and
ministers to put their minds to the
problem of juvenile delinquency,
if theaters are going to make
comedies out of drunken marri-
ages?
WRONG SLANT
If groWn-ups write those plays
and scenarios-and if grown-ups
think the whole situation is just
killingly funny - when portrayed
on the stage or in a movie theater
land the audiences are rocking
with mirth)-what are the young
kids to think?
Why, they'll think that drunken

Huge Air
 Force Aided Invasion

Rome. Aug. IS - CU.PD - The strongest force of Maraudcrs ever to fly in the Mediterranean theater, put the finishing touch on the blasting of German Southern France beach defenses immediately before the landing D-Day. it was disclosed today.
 As the Marauders swung away from their targets. LST's and BCTs less than a half mile of shore headed their blunt noses straight for the beaches.
 One Marauder pilot. Lieutenant Arthur Porter. San Diego. Cal, des- cribed the air cover as ''stupendous' and said there were more ships at the scene than he could count.
 '.I saw both Salerno and Anzio' he said, "and this was bigger thar both of them"
 The Mediterranean airforces nev a record number of s0rties in sup porting the landings-so many tl.. final total has not yet been tallied Beside innumerable invasion target! hit by all types of aircraft, Flyinl Fortresses and Liberators bombed five highway. bridges in the Rhont Valley while last night RAF We'll ingtons, Liberators and Haiifaxe' bombed the Valenee airdrome be- tween Marseilles and Lyon.
 Following the morning attack or the beaches. the Marauders return ed in the afternoon to hit rail and road bridges in the Rhone Valley and upper Durance river region or the enemy supply routes leading di' rectly to the German forces con- fronting the Allied beachheao troops. Bostons also attacked the enemy barracks at Draguinaia, just west of Cannes.
 Technical Sergeant George Hud' son of Westfleld. Mass. a Liberatoi turret gunner whose plane took part in the immediate pre-inyasioi' bombing, said they didn't see a Ger man anywhere.
 Of all the milk runs this took the cake" he explained. 1t was like watching Hollywood producer staging a great scene. You waited for the enemy to do something, put he didn't appear.
 The entire invasion force was covered from the air by what seems ed like the entire Mediterranean Allied Air Force"

 Other frontier reports reaching Madrid asserted occupation authoTi- ties had ordered administrative de- partmeDis of the French pnppet government at both Paris and Vichy to leave for the east as soon as possible,
 The reports followed by only q few hours the Allied invasion Of southern France and eoineided with the growing threat from the Allies aFmied advancing on the French capital from the vest,
 Madrid also heard that key French eollaboFationists in Paris either had gone into hiding or had fled the capital. Sporadic clashes between Hollab0Fationists and French patriots have broken out, t was said,

First 2. s. Freeze Is
 Put On Argentina

Washington, Aug. le.-(UPD-Of- ficial sources said today that free movement of Argentine gold from this country has been terminated.
 Argentina. was said. heretofore has enjoyed the privilege of ex- porting the ''earmarked" gold it owns in the United States jast as freels as other Allied and associated na- tions. Now. it was explained, Are gentina has been put on the same restrictive basis applicable to neu- tral nations such as Sweden. Spain, Portugal and Fire.
 Confirming previous disclosure by the United Press of the move, of. fioials described it as being entirely ''logical' since the United States government has classified Argentina as a neutral which is not cooperat- ing with the Allied war effort.
 The new move against Argentina differs from the orders issued against assets of enemy countries. constituting a milder form of freeze. Assets of enemy countries may not be used in any way. whereas Are gentina is prohibited only from phy- sically moving the gold outside the United States. She may spend 1t ol use 1t any way she wishes within this country.
 The action was disclosed by well. informed persons just three geeks after Secretary of State Cordell Hull in a sharply goreed statement charged that Argentina had violat- ed her pledges for aiding hemi- spheric defense by giving affirma- tive assistance to the Axis.
 Argentina. st was learned. re- moved some of her gold to Buenos Aires some time ago. and more re- gently a request for additional transfers was made by the Argen- tine Central Bank.
 The United States, according to informed quarters, aryised the bank that it would not allow the gold to be shipped out for the time being.
 The Treasury and State Depart ments declined to comment on the reported freeze. The Argentine ein- bassy also made no statement. say- ing 1t was a matter between the Argentine Central Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Drought Hits Wor PIOnf

The current persistent heat wave and subsequent drought today seri- ously threatened and endangered war production activities at the Middlebury plant of the U. S. Time Corporation where the water supply source is at such a low ebb that an insufficient amount remained for general maintenance purposes.
 As result the company today ap- pealed to city authorities to be per- mitted to transfer the civilian de- fense trailer pump from the Cherry avenue, branch of the plant to Mid- dlebury for use in pumping addi- tional water from a large pond lo- cated at the foot of the latter plant.
 City controller Nell ?. Maloney. property custodian of such equip ment. today authorized transfer of the material for such use. This pump. one of many received by the city from federal authorities, he'd been loaned to the local branch Of tine U. s. Time Corporation for fire- fighting purposes.
 It was said today that the water shortage in Middlebury had resulted in a grave effect upon the facilities at the waF-produetion plant and of, fieials are hopeful of offsetting the threat by means Of the utility source of supply,
