"ActiOn in Arabia" and "Curse of Cat People"
 on Same Program

 The ancient city of Damascus is the setting for much of the exciting action of the film, with thousands of warriors and hundreds of camels used in the thrill-packed climax.
 George Sanders plays the role of the reporter-hero and Virginia Bruce has the heroine role as a mys- terious agent of the Free French, with Lenore Aubert, Gene Lockhart H. B. Warner and other favorites in important parts.

 A sequel to Cat People,, in which an old Serbian legend of women who turn into black leopards was made the basis of a stirring mod- ern thriller, the new offering brings three of the principal characters back again in an equally memorable and suspense laden picture.
 Coming Wednesday next to the State is "Once Upon A Time, chucklesome comedy about a Broad way show producer, starring Cary Grant and featuring Janet Blair, James Gleason and Ted Donaldson. Mine Girls, with Ann Harding and Evelyn Reyes will be the second hit of the program.

Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman Stud Dramatic
 Screen Story

"Gaslight," the new Metro Goldwyn- Mayer film at the Loew Poli theater IS one of the most exciting and dramatic stories ever to reach the screen. Featured by outstanding performances by the star studded cast headed by Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Gotten, "Gaslight" will keep you on the edge of your seat as 1t re- lates the story of the beautiful young singer, portrayed by Miss Bergman, who marries her accom- panist (Charles Boyer) and with him sets up home in the London house where Paula's aunt, famous singer was murdered.
 Deliberately, Boyer sets out to drive his wife mad-just why, and through what ingenious method, 1t would be unfair to relate. The en- trance upon the scene of a Scotland Yard man, played by Joseph Cotton, brings the picture to tense and highly thrilling climax. "Gaslight" has been handsomely produced for M-G-M by Arthur Hornblow, Jr. George Cukor, the director keeps the production going at top interest and the entire supporting cast manipulated turns in sterling per- formances." These latter include Dame May Whitty, Barbara Everest and Angela ansbury, the latter a 17-year-old English girl, who came to this country several years ago as a refugee from the Nazi blitz and who makes her film debut in "Gaslight." Emil Rameau. Edmund Brown, Halliwell Hobbes, Tom Stew son and Feather Thatcher are oth- CTS who bring their dramatic tal- ents to the cast.
 The co-hit on this program of hits is "Trocadero" the new musical hit with Rosemary Lane and Johnny Downs.

STATE DEPT. GETS
AMERICAN JEWISH
COMMITTEES POST
WAR VIEWS

New York (JPS)-The Ameri-
can Jewish Committee has pre-
sented to the Department of State
a Declaration of Views setting
forth "the basic premises for the
maintenance of Jewish rights" it
was announced by former Judge
Joseph M. Proskauer, president Of
the American Jewish Committee.
In letter to Secretary Hull, Mr..
Proskauer preferred 'the cooper
alton of the Committee" in the
formulation of peace terms. The
American Jewish Committee, he
said, will seek the "re-affirmation
of the fundamental principle that
Jewish citizens of every land, full
filling their obligation of COM
plete loyalty to their respective
countries, shall be guaranteed the
correlative right of complete
equality"

Philadelphia (JPS)-When in
vestigatiOn of the Philadelphia
transit workers strike is cOmplet-
ed and its findings disclosed to the
public, there is little doubt in this
reporters mind that it will con-
firm charges made by the CLIO
that "subversive clements" who
had deluded both the strikers and
their leaders, were responsible for
this tieup which deprived 100000
persons of transportation, of
whom 100000 are war workers.
The strike fits i'm with a similar
attempt by Christian Frontiers in
New York City several years ago
and with design for sabotage re-
veaIed at several trials in Federal
Court of adherents of the native
fascist movement.
The immediate aim of the walk
outers-who walked out, inadvert-
emily on their own sons and
daughters in the battle zones
was to force the revocation of
directive by the Presidents Fair
Employment Practices Commits
sion ordering the employment of
eight negroes as motormen and
conductsors. Philadelphia, keeper
of the Liberty Bell, was apparent
ly chosen as the laboratory for an
experiment in mass action to stop
the governments enforcement of
it's program barring discrimina-
ton in employment on grounds of
race, religion or nationality. The
Citizens Committee here was
therefore correct in anticipating,
in its appeal to the, President for
action against the walk-out, that,
should the strike succeed, Catho-
lies, Jews and other minorities
might soon be placed alongside
the Negro as targets of hateists.
What the race supremacy boys
had failed to accomplish in their
hard battle in Congress against
the FEPC, their followers sought
to achieve by direct action here.
To some extent they have sue
ceeded, and unless the prosecution
of the walk-out leaders, and the

ferreting out of their inspirers
will rapidly follow, similar exper-
iments may take place in Detroit
and New York, and their demand
may include the dismissal Of
Jews along with Negroes, for
they have viewed with growing
resentment the penetration of the
Jewish employee into industries
that were barred to him in the
past.
They Tried 1t In New York Too
1t is matter of record that the
COughIfnite elements have long
sought to obtain a fOOthOld in
unions, after they had failed in
Their efforts to organize Christ
ians Only unions of their own.
They centered their attention ON
the Transport Workers Union
(CIO), which operates in field
of great strategic Importance.
Several years ago they attempted
to tie up the New York subways
by wildcat strike which had
double aim, to place the Onus on
the Unions leaders who were
actively fighting the Christian
Front and also to indicate to the
CLIO leaders that they had better
come to terms with the Christian
Front elements. These motives
were exposed, however, and
Christian Frontiers, distributing
pamphlets among workers at the
car barns in New York City, were
beaten up, and their stOOges ex-
Delled from the union. Now, they
have moved to Philadelphia with
considerably more success.
The Blueprint
The blueprint of Christian
Front strategy was first exposed
at a trial of some of its followers
in the District Federal Court in
Brooklyn, N. Y, several years
ago. The defendants were acquit-
ted of charges that they had con-
spired to overthrow the govern
ment of the u. S. but it was es-
tablished by the prosecution that
in the circles in which they moved
the subject of how the Christian
Frontiers could rapidly obtain con-
tro of the Enthusiastically
transportation and telephone-of
Metropolis, was frequently on
the agenda. Their explanation
was, however, that they had PLAN
ned to seize these to preclude the
communists doing it in the event
of a communist uprising. What
happened in Philadelphia there
fore, fits into this general scheme
and is an extension of an expert
ment that was begun several
years ago in New York City. 1t
is not unlikely that the hate-in-
tested and hate-infesting leaders
of the Philadelphia walk-out were
entirely unaware of the wider
ranifications of their action and
that they were tools used by
strategists with a larger scale
action in mind. The FIJI, we hear,
is engaged now in ferreting out
the real strategists, the General
Haushoffers of the transit tie-up.

PREDICTIONS: There is talk
in New York now that Moscow
NAV soon come out with a state
ment revealing the attitude of the
KremIin towards Palestine :
In the meantime the Soviet jew
fish news agency which supplies
news to Hebrew newspapers in
Palestine directly from Moscow
has discontinued its service to
the Davar, largest daily news
paper there and official organ of
the Histadruth - And speak
ing of Moscow, we are afraid that
it will take long time yet be-
fore American Jewish relief Or
CARNATIONS will be permitted to
send representatives to Russia to
contact Jews in need of relief
there as we'll as in the liberated
parts of Poland and Rumania =
This is true also with regard to
such organizations as the Jewish
Council of the Russian War Relief.
:. 1t seems that the Soviet
Government is determined not to
encourage any relief activities in
the U. S. S. r. on the basis of
different natiOnalities : Any
relief sent from this country to
Russia will be accepted only when
intended for distribution among
all sections of the population =
