As long as the human heart has the power to feel, to love, to suffer, to triumph, ''The Song or Berna- dette" will be remembered as a great motion picture, wondrously conceived and enthrallingly un- folded. The manager of the Loew's Pon Theatre proudly announces that this great drama will not be shown in any other theatre in Wa terbury until 1945. Remember this dramatic picture still has two days left to run at your favorite theatre, Loew's Poli. Accoaldes will be be- stowed-and with lavish hand upon 20th Century-Fox for the re- markable manner in which 1t has bridged the transition from the novel to the screen. Great and un- aversally beloved as was Franz Wer- fel's story of "Bernadette" between book covers, it Is infinitely greater and more compelling as a motion picture. Only the highest praise will suffice for the director, Henry King, and the producer, William Perlberg. into whose hands the destiny of bringing the novel to the screen was entrusted. Each, in his respective capacity, record the out stancing achievement of his career. All credit is due, too, to George Seaton for his screen play, which faithfully follows the pattern of WerfePs story. In the title role of the Maid of Lourdes, Jennifer Jones makes the most suspicious debut in Hollywood history. Here is a starr and one who has fiared into being with brilliance that shines with the mark of greatness. A bow to David O. Selznick for her diScov- cry! Matching Jennifer Jones, per- kcrmance are the featured mem hers of the cast: William Eythe, Charles Bickford, Vincent Price, Lee U. Cobb and Gladys Cooper. Others in important roles are well-nigh 9iawless. From the moment when 'Bernadette Soubirous," young daughter of an impoverished fam- fly, sees the vision of '"The Lady," sT1he Song of Bernadette" is a rare experience. Bernadette's faith is from her heart. Lourdes seethes with excitement over report of the vision = the authorities grow in- creasingly concerned, fearing the effect on the people-but Bernadette holds steadfast. Dramatic moments an the film are many: Bernadette IS hailed into court and asked to deny she saw a vision. She disarm- ingiy replies, How can I deny it, when I did see it?" The grotto is ordered closed, as final measure. Bernadette. impelled by a call from ssThe Lady" goes to the fence built to keep the towns people away, and falls to her knees.
 The young son to the Emperor Napoleon III. lies dying-a drink of water from the spring which has nniraculously burst forth at the grotto revives him, and the grotto

American Fashion Critics win nie," and by Valentino, designer for society, stage and screen. Me- Cardell sees the corset and the bra as stylized accessories, en- sembled with matching hats, bags and even the lining of a jacket, and prophecies a postwar career for eotards-stockings that are first cousins to tights-and match ing girdles to team up with suit accessories in polka dotted and figured nylon. Draping will sub stitute for seams in her postwar designs and her skirts will be calf-length.
 Valentino proposes to mold the body beautiful without the aid of a bra or corset by means of clothes architecture, so that there will be no redundant layers only a femme fatale union suit under heath a dress. She has great faith in that mechanical silk worm-the test tube-as a spin ner of sparkling postwar fabrics that will need no incrustations of beads or sequins.
 Greatest influence upon styles of tomorrow. in the opinion of Fira Benenson. will be postwar plane hopping that may take you abruptly from a cold to a hot climate. So, she's thinking in terms of all-season ensembles of weather proofed fabrics.
 Norman Norell, crusading de- signer for simple clothes, foresees Scarlet OHara influence in the postwar evening gown. Typify- ing the revolt against restricted styles of today, there will be enough chiffon in skirts to build a tent, and tops will be next to naked. AS for daytime clothes, he wagers that skirt and waist lengths will stay where they are because no American designer is daring enough to change them.

New York,-Postwar fashions will whoop up the sex appeal in clothes, says five style-setting designers, who predict hats as big and gay as gar den-party parasols; stylized access sories worn from the skin out; near- naked daytime outfits; gone-with- the-wind evening gowns; and all- season clothes that will enable you to fly from a cold to hot climate without change of costume.
 These forecasts echo those made by leading British designers-Nor- man Hartnell. Victor Stiebel, Digby Morton and Peter Russell - whose opinions were published recently in London. Predicting undreamed-of magniflcence as reaction from years of battle-dress, these men contend conservative English women will be garbed as plushily as opera stars; as resplendently as courtiers in cere- monial dress.
 American designers, who show the shape of things to come on drawing pads and hint at secret collections, waiting for the lifting of bans. are more concrete in their predictions.
 Sally Victor, whose millinery designs won tine 1914 American Fashion Critics Award, says the big hat of tomorrow will proba- bly, double the maximum 48-inch brim allowed today; have a crown If hirds or flowers lifelike enough to fool a naturalist, and float enough. yelling to wrap up a bride. And because long trips will be an everyday event. Mrs. Victor also is perfecting a collapsible brim and a packable come-apart hat, containing more surprises than a Chinese box.

Jewish Underground Leaders in France Tell
How They Fought to Protect the Jews

United Committee for the De-
tense of Jews" which was COM
posed of representatives of Jew
ish parties and organizations was
a small gnone-like LODI Jew who
had been a welfare worker in
Paris for 80 years. This man told
the JTA correspondent how his
group worked with similar bodies
in Lyon and Paris. The COM
mittee received funds from abroad
via Switzerland, and from local
collections. They were almost
regular relief to the 400 families
in hiding.
''The work of defense against
deportations," he said, twas the
most important job. During 1914
the committee distributed 1900
sets of false Identification docu-
merts, advised Jews to dispense
when necessary, and helped them
to move from one village to an
other" The committee sent hun
dreds of children to Switzerland
and placed 70 in homes in the
countryside. 1t is now trying to
regain custody of children who
were placed for safety in con-
vents by parents who were subse-
quently deported.
One of the committees func-
tons, he said, was to aid young
Jews to join the Maquis. 1t also
raised a certain monthly sum for
the Maquis, and was arranging
for the formation of a separate
Jewish unit when the city was
liberated.
A most amazing aspect of the
situation here is how the Jews
managed to maintain communal
life while every one of them was
being hunted by the Gestapo and
Vichy traitors. A yong Zionist
group met regularly and studied
Hebrew, Jewish history and Other
subjects. It's leader was George
Schnek, who directed the work o.
obtaining false documents. Schnel

named Rose Fushan, who is O.
lawyer in New York.
Jewish political groups also
met frequently. On the anniver-
sary of the Warsaw revolt they
held well-attended meeting here.
Last year the Grenoble Jews cele-
brated Rosh Hashonah in a Catho-
lie Church and Yom Kippur in a
Protestant Church, since going to
a synagogue was inviting arrest.
The Jews pay warm tribute to
their non-Jewish neighbors who
warned them of danger, hid them,
and helped feed them.
At present the committee is at
tempting to compile complete
list of survivors, but this a diff
cult task since many Jews have
been using false names and NOV
ing frequently to evade detection.

ore of the Jewish underground
oroanization this week described
how for four years they fought
70 nrotect 5000 Jews living in this
district and during ten bitter
months matched wits with the
Cestapo and it's Vichyite aids.
They outlined to the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency correspond
ont the complex secret organiza-
tion by which they kept in regu-
lar contact with 400 families scat
tered in hiding throughout the
Tsere Department; how they main
tanned contact with other Jewish
communities; and how Jews con-
tributed to French resistance in
this district.
They told of the underground
railway through which hundreds
of children were Struggled into
Switzerland from Grenoble alone,
and of the Jewish army" which
battled the Vichy militia and the
Nazis and spirited young Jews to
the Spanish frontier en- route to
Palestine.
They spoke with pride of the
hundreds of young Jews serving
with the Maquis and who are pre-
sently with the French Forces of
the Interior fighting the Geramns.
Above all they spoke of the young
Jewish men and women who risk
ed their lives daily doing danger
GUS work of liaison or who OBJ
tanned or forged so many false
Identification papers, rationbooks
and other vital documents that
Grenoble supplied other areas.
These youths travelled throughout
the district caring for their
charges"
There were many martyrs and
heroes among them. There is the
22-year-old German-Jewish refu-
gee girl who was arrested in June
while shepherding a party of 40
children into Switzerland. She
persuaded the Gestapo to realise
the driver of the truck and the
children under sixteen, but she
and IL children were imprisoned.
She refused to avail herself of an
opportunity to escape until all
children were released. It is be-
lieved she was executed. The
children, who were freed by the
Mapuis, returned to Grenoble this
week.
Then there was a 35-year-old
rabbi from Tel Aviv who came to
Grenoble in 1913 to direct the
youth organization. He took a
leading role in the "JeWish army"
travelling all over the country in
its behalf. He was seized togeth-
er with Is others by the Gestapo
in Paris while on a mission to OBJ
tain arms and is believed to have
been executed.
