Lauderda|e Appeals
For Support in Talk
To brookIand Citizens

James w. Lauderdale, in his first
speech since his nomination to the
long-vacant post of peoples counsel
by President Roosevelt, last night
appealed to the citizens to give me
every bit of support that is humanity
possible" adding 'if am confirmed" "
Speaking before the Brookland
Citizens Association, Mr.. Lauder
dale, who is assistant corporation
counsel, pointed out that he has
been in District service over nine
Years, and was born and raised in
Washington.
Il have the interest of the District
as whole at heart. he declared.
He explained it was the duty of the
peoples counsel to look out for the
interests of citizens" before the
Public Utilities Commission.
Senate action on Mr.. Lauderdale's
nomination to the District govern
ment post, which has been vacant
since 1886, is expected soon.
Mr.. Lauderdale, in his formal
speech, outlined the permanent
system of highways and the method
of acquiring land for them. He
said it was a pleasure" to have
helped establish uniform system
of highways.
The association passed a resolu-
ton which would provide that re-
tired Federal and District govern

great pride, as we'll their neatness
is their mess halls. Dishes, knives
and forks were rigidly spaced or
tables and everything was shining
clean. One officer explained that a
prisoner-leader for each table OF
eight men takes complete charge oi
distributing the food, even down to
the butter, which is divided evenly
into eight parts for each table. No
man gets more than the next fellow
Models of Neatness.
Outside, their grassy parks, out
door sitting places and playing
f1elds-all done by the prisoners on
their own volition-also were models
of neatness.
An exhibition of pen sketches
water colors and oil paintings showed
real talent and, incidentally, re-
flected nostalgia for their home
land. War subjects were strangely
in the minority.
Aware a few days in advance that
they were to have visitors, the pris-
oners obviously were determined to
leave the impression that here was
the way good Nazis take care of their
quarters and surroundings and make
the most of their existence.
Perhaps nothing sums up the state
OF mind of this group of young
Nazis better than an inscription in
German on a sun dial In one of their
neet little parks. 1t reads: For Us

FORT MCCLELLAN, Ala. Apri
18.-PoStwar planners on what tc
d owith Germany and any who still
harbor illusions that the Nazis will
fold up soon could spend profitable
day at this post where 1,400 Ger
man prisoners of war, remnants OF
the famed Afrika Corps captured by
our troops in North Africa, are in
termed.
Forty newspaper. magazine and
radio writers, guests of the War De-
partment on a tour of Southern
training camps, were permitted to
inspect the camp and to see for
themselves Just how prisoners of war
carry on their daily routine under a
regime termed by a War Depart
rnent official as firm but fair"
The visitors came away with the
Impression that the Nazis haven't
changed their attitude nor convic-
tions and that being war prisoner
of the United States Is far from the
worst existence in the world. The
zen have their own schools where
they are taught mathematics, Eng
lish, French, Spanish and italian
They have their work shops, sports
platz and even an art gallery,
Don't Like So Beer.
Each compound has a post ex-
change where the men can buy to-
bacco beer of the 80 variety (Which
they don't Iike), chocolates and
other luxury items The prisoners
are required to work eight hours
a day for six days a week, and for
this they receive 30 cents a day. No
cash is paid them, but they are is
sued coupons redeemable for mer-
chandise.
Under the Geneva Convention of
1929 the men are fed the same type
and quality of food as United States
soldiers. After eating good Army
food each day on this tour, the
writer can attest to its quality and
amount. You don't get up from the
table feeling hungry.
But with all this, one gets an
unmistakable impression that these
men still believe the cause they
fought for is right and always will
be. With few exceptions, the pris-
oners are convinced the Germans
will win the war. They were hand
picked Nazi youth, well indoctrinat-
ed in Nazi ideas and they still have
cocky air about them after nearly
q year of internment.
Keen in Good Condition.
They keep in good physical condi-
tion, presumably waiting for the day
they can return to the fatherland
and take up the fight again. If any
hint ever reaches them that the
news at home is bad, they don't
show 1t. And they have plenty of
opportunity. The 1,400 men at this
camp receive as many as $4,000 let
ters from home each month.
Those who have radios and listen
to the war news don't even bother
to repeat it to their fellows, an
Army officer said, because they are
confident that it's all propaganda.
The prisoners even maintain they
are well treated at this camp simply
for propaganda purposes-to try to
convince German authorities that all
prisoners of war in this country are
well taken care of.
Army authorities saw treatment is
uniform In all of the 80 base camps
and SO branch camps.

Broadway Rhythm Stars Ginny Sims in Debut as
 Major Actress

Broadway Rhythm, Metro Goldwyn-Mayer's newest techni- color film starts today at the Strand theater for a second full week. is a gay and tuneful musical chock-full of entertainment to please everyone. Ginny Sims, long singing favorite of the airwayes, makes her debut as an actress in technicolor revealing a pretty face and figure and a sparkling person. aIity for the screen and she is per- fectly teamed with the popular danc- ing star, George Murphy.
 Murphy is cast as a member of a famous theatrical family and is a successful Broadway producer. He retires his father, Charles Winnin- ger, and does his best to keep his kid sister, Gloria De Haven, in school despite her yearning for the stage. Ginny, playing a Hollywood movie star, comes to New York searching for a play to give her a new shot of the prestige she needs so badly. At first she is interested in Murphy's play but later turns 1t down because she does not be- heve it will be a hit. This is the opportunity Winninger has been waiting for. He dusts of one of Murphy's old scripts and joins forces with Miss Sims to produce it in a summer theater venture.

The greatest love story of all time comes to the screen of the Loew Poli today. It is 10 be reported at once that "Jane Eyre, amazingly pop- ular as it has been with millions of readers is destined to far SurpaSs that success as a mo ion picture. Since Charlotte Bronte'S celebrated romance was first published, it has appeared in dozens of editions and has been a continuous beSt-Seller. Now, on the screen, it attains new stature and greatness and is a proud newcomer to the long list of cin. ematic achievements of 20th Gen. tury-Fox.
 In the leading roles of Edward Rochester and Jane, roles it seems that they were destined to play are two of the screens outstanding stars Orsen WelleS and Joan Fontaine. Despite the acclaim that has greet ed previous performances of these players in Jane Eyre each reaches a milestone in their brilliant car- eers. -'Jane Eyre, has been de- scribed as a love story every wom- en would die a thousand deaths to live. A girl with no home, no fam- fly, who has known only the cruelty of women and the bestiality of men, Jane'S path crosses that of a man whose passion-tossed life has been spent searching for one women he could love with all the depths of his soul.
 Sweeping relentlessly through the whole range of human emotions, through passion, fury, laughter, ter TOT, tenderness, the romance of Jane and Edward Rochester reaches a climax, and then a grim secret out of his past tears Jane from his arms.

There was Maria Montez, who said she wanted to get out of those BarongS and those Arabian princess pantaloons. There was Laraine Day wearing clinging gown and 8 Se- ductive pout and challenging Tallu- 1ah Bankhead in the kissing de- partment. And there was Ginny Eimms and her beautiful back.
 Never again are we going to make dates with three lovely ladies of the screen in one day. Our blood press Ure can't take 1t.
 Laraine and Ginny were crash ing the oomph department for the first time. And Maria was trying to get out of it. Imagine Maria not wanting to display her curves.
 T figure 1t like this" Maria said. People get tired of turkey every day, don't they? They're probably tired of seeing me running around In pantaloons."
 Maria said she was in @ techni- color rut, that was 1t.
 Imagine" she said, 'all six of my big pictures have been in tech- tnicolor. Everyone else in Hollywood wants to be in technicolor. But not the Great Montez. She's fed up with it. She wants to be in a black end white picture.
 ''Of course, I will have several little scenes in a bathing suit or even in a black lace negligee. But no more technicolor epicS, I have told the studio. Maria is not 8 hack-she is 6 racehorSe."
 "A NEW DAY
 Laraine Day, in that seductive pout and clinging gown, wasn't so positive about her ability to crash teh glanor department for the first time in RKO's 'T'hat Hunter Girl" Even thought the studio had order ed her dripping with sex" i As the richest girl in the world, in the film, Laraine, once the goodie-goodie queen of the screen wears ultra-low cut Slinky gowns and sweaters. She smokes and drinks even gets tight - on the scene kisses William Post the way Tallulah Bankhead kissed John Kodiak in "Lifeboat."

 In other words, there's a new Day in Hollywood.
