Farley Punctures

BRETON o n. H., July 14-As this so-called
monetary conference numbers into the home stretch, it is
now possible to say that 1t has not been a conference, but a
dress rehearsal of conferences to come.
The meetings have been dominated by fear of Russia.
The Soviet delegation makes no pretense of being interested
in collaboration and acts only AS ordered by daily cables
from Moscow.
The American delegations technical staff is mostly
made up of economic propagandlsts with only an academic
smattering of the actual problems involved.
The smaller nations of Europe, as we'll as the Latin
American nations are bitterly dlsllusioned.

DSR Postwar
Plans Strapped

The postwar plans of the DSR
for Is projects costing $3,692,0o
were strapped today with the per-
mission of the common council
after ii was explained the de-
partment necessarily must predl-
cate its plans on projects of
other departments and must wait
until these are completed.
The request was made through
the mayors postwar planning
committee George +. Emery, city
planner. explained that the DSRs
projects were made mostly while
Fred Nolan was general manager
and that it appeared obvious now
that such things as grade separa-
tons must wait until the city'S
highway system is decided upon.
Likewise. he said, the plan for
half a million in garages and
barns must wait until transporta-
ton needs after the val are
determined.

The Russians are interested
only in having a large quota in
both the sterilization fund and
the bank. They also insist that
they put up a minimum amount Of
gold and a maximum amount Of
promises.
They now say that the Amcri-
can experts had agreed, before
this meeting, that they would be
especially favored in the matter
OF putting up gold and they are
charging bad faith.
To this the New Dealers say
that there is really no dispute at
all but only q most unfortunate
Russian misunderstanding of the
English language.
Senator Taft IN his public state
ment said I'M effect that both the
fund and the bank were merely
instruments to slphon off Amerl-
can-FpSOufceS.

half an hour we waited for lull while all the time, at irregular intervals, pairs of German sheells fell about us.
 Finally the enemy seemed to tire. We made for our jeeps. The wounded boy was laid across the one rigged up as an ambulance and put in charge of its driver, Pfc. Joseph Pappalardo of Brook lyn. He started off and I followed. On the road a solitary shell came over and a fragment hit the top of my jeep and put a dent in my drivers helmet. Apart from this our trip to the Battalion Aid Sta. ton was uneventful.
 The Aid Station was located in the barn of a large odl farm house and the wounded. until they could be looked after by Capt. Milton J.

Finally he was carried into a little alcove where boxes served as a stand on which his strethcer was placed. The captain dressed his wounds and ordered him off to a collection sta- ton. AS he was being carried out, he smiled and said "So long fellows I'll be seeing you soon."

 Hollywood, CuP)-The Army Ali Force has gone into the motion pic turc business in big way. The Wa Department says the AAF first mo ton picture unit fla Culver City nov produces more films in a mont, than any other major studio.
 In July, isl2, the infant AAI motion picture unit took it's frs brdcath at the old Vitagraph studio, in Hollywood. The father of tn. new arrival was Lt. Col. Owen E Crump. Attending nurse and. handyman was Sgt. tnow Capt. Oren W. Haglund.

 Then they ordered a bigger play pen. It turned out to be the Hal Roach studios in Culver City, com. plete with fancy production equip. ment. Baby began to dislike three- cornered pants and demanded a pair of "longies".

 It even took IS bombers and liaison craft converted into spe. cial camera planes to make the one-time-baby a he man. These craft made a beeline for every major front to photograph aero. battles. formation flying and spe- cial maneuvers.
 One of the most important de. partments at the first motion pic. ture unit is the animation setcion under Maj. Rudolph Ising. Here soldier animators who only a few months ago penciled Mickey Mouse" and Donald Duck are creating Wilbur Right" and "Wil- bur Wrong.

It would seem Go have been design. cd for an audience Of listenrs who like to be In on a mystery without all the effort of having to solve tt.
 The program is simple. Somebody is murdered. There are three sns. poets. Anyone of them could have been guilty. Members of the studio audience are called upon Co Ruess. The clue lies in a musical score played at the end of the program. The name of the music definitely points to the murderer. but the au. dlence doesn't find it as easy to pick the criminal as the radio list- ener sitting in his arm chair at home. He gets a break the studio audiences is denied. Confidentially the announcer gives him the name of the musical piece which will be played, and all he has to do is to catch a remark by one of the sus. poets which ties in with the name of the tune .. veddy, veddy rest- full And pleasant ...
