War Prisoner
Puzz e Grows

there is a movement afoOt to fire
the NaziS, O'Dell said:
I'VE feel it is necessary to keep
the Germans in the fields in order
to harvest the Gotten crop i I is not
a matter of replacing the Germa ms
with other workers, but of getting
as many other workers as possible
to supplement the Nazis.'
FAIL ON JOBS
ODell admitted that many of the
war prisoners are not coming up to
expectations but he said they are
picking scme cotton and every lit
tie bit counts' He voiced the fear
that even under the best conditions
a certain part of the crop Will be left
standing in the fields the same as
last year"
William E. Springer. president of
War Commodities, Inc, told the
United Press of the movement to re-
place the Nazis He said many of
them have refused flatly to pick any
Gotten at all and, as a consequence
are SubsiSting on a bread-a nd-wat ter
diet Others, he added, are picking
only about 25 or 80 pounds a day
and the farmers think they should
harvest at least 100 pounds daily
to benefit the situation very much =
PENALTIES CITED
Col. William A. Holden, com
mandng officer of the PaPagO
Park prisoner of war camp. said it
was not unusual for a few NaziS to
be on bread-and-w water diets in al
most all camps at one time or an
other. But he said he did not think
the situation was specially bad at
present.
Holden asserted that the work
records of prisoners at Stafford and
Duncan were pretty good and tina
the big side camp at Mesa was MAX
ing a fair average" of about 80
pounds day.

to 60 Nine reels of celluloid cost
ing nearly a million dollars, with
Ray Milland drunk in eight and a
half of them.
The prohibitionists will love it,"
director Billy Wilder said
"A new Hollywood triangle" pro-
ducer Charley Bracket enthused.
"A BOY and a girl and bottle. What
suspense!'
I'll never touch another drop of
tea as long as 1 live" Ray Milland
said. OR ever listen to Tea for
Two Even on tea I'll probably have
a six-month hangover"
Tea is what Milland drinks from
9 to every day as Don Birman,
the alcoholic hero in the screen ver-
sion of Charles Jackson's best
seller, THE Lost Weekend" The
prop man brews up a couple of
quarts a day. Without lemon or
sugar, please. Because with lemon
or sugar it doesn't lcok like rye.
YEARS TOUGHEST CHORE
Bringing to the screen THE Lost
Weekend" the story OF a man in
the grip of alcohol-and why's
probably the years toughest as
signment in Hollywood. One that
would have been attempted only by
couple of gents like Billy Wilder
and Charley Bracket, who wrote,
produced and directed Double In
demnity."
Sure, the book is great reading
a macabre, exciting study in the
perverse depths of drunk's mind
"a story of Illustration. But can it
be put on film that people will want
TO see?
Wilder and Bracket think it can
and they're doing it. Even if they
are writing the script on the set
as they go alcng. AS Wilder likes
to say, Il never finish the script
until the picture is finished. That's
the way like to work"
just about everything in the BOOK
will be in the movie-DOn'S lOnell-
ness (done with flashbacks), his
need to drink, the pawning of his
typewriter for money to buy mere
rye, his hangovers, day dreams OF
himself as a gems, his awful night
mares and that wonderful sequence
in which he steals Woman's purse
in a night club.
The movie version dWells longer
than the book on his love for Helen,
with much of this action in flash
backs too. Jane Wymen plays Helen.
There's a different ending in the
film version, too. Locked in his
apartment and unable to get a
drink. he finds a gun and says he's
going to kill himself. Helen then
gives him a bottle of his beloved
rye. saying derisively:
I'D rather have you drunk than
dead"
ON LOCATION
To give the film real flavor. di-
rector Wilder took his star and a
camera crew to New York for a
week of filming exterior scenes. He
wanted to film that scene OF Mil
land. with a terrible hangover, stag
gering up Third avenue trying TO
find a pawnshop to get loan on
his typewriter. They got it, too, by
hiding the camera in bakery truck
and filming the scenes between 55th
and l18th streets at o'clock in the
morning when there wasn't too
much traffic.
Milliland had five-day growth
of beard and cold he picked up
on an ir-conditioned train going
east. Nobody recognized him.
Were they having any trouble
with the censors
Not a bit director Wilder said,
except that we had to change the
character of Gloria, the girl Don
meets in a bar She's now a jobless
manicurist'

EFT said between hands"
