We doubt whether many screen
actors actually beat up their wives

aired In recent divorce proceed

mantle heroes striking 4 woman as
per the movie script they get all
goose -pimply and gOverly gallant
about the whole thing.
That was the trouble on stage IA
at Paramount, where Director Hal
Walker was trying to get 200-pound
Howard De Silva to slap 95-pound
Veronica Lake and make II appear
on the screen as though he meant It.
We don't know that De Silva ever
struck woman before, In the movies
or in real life, but certainly he ap-
peared out OF practice.
1t was . blackout number for
"DuAys Tavern, and the action
had De Silva taking his smack at
Veronica because she wouldn't leave
a cocktail bar on his orders. Alan
Ladd Is In the business, too. He
rises indignantly and in his best
tough-guy manner dares De Silva
to do that again. Then the old
meanie does just that. He socks We
ronica again. Whereupon Killer
Ladd meekly delivers the payon
line:
You'd better 60 with him, lady.
He'll kick your teeth In"
De Silva Is pulling his slaps so
short and striking so softly, for fear
Of injuring one OF Paramount's most
treasured properties, that Director
Walker has to urge him to keep hit
ting harder. His forays don't look q
bit realistic. Veronica is sick Of the

pany Of German parachute troops.
The peaceful villagers are trans
formed by that event into veritable
demons OF cunning and destruction,
and when they get through with the
enemy, the German plan for inyad-

with the last parachutist's skull. The

Ealing Pictures, which produced
"48 Hours" was able to bring no
new indictments againsts German
cunning and brutality. II restates
the detail OF the old one, however,
in resolutely unbleached terms.
The cunning Is indicated In the
manner In which the enemy con-
trives the peaceful penetration Of
innocent. unsuspecting Bramley End.
The ruse which works perfectly Is
that Of equipping the sky soldiers
With British battle gear, Of having
selected every member of the force
for his, ability to speak English with
q proper provincial accent. The
Bramley EnderS are completely
taken In by the explanation of the
suddenly appearing troops that they
have been assigned there to REM
force the village against threatened
German invasion.
Audiences will find "46 Hours" at
It's best In those early passages in
which the village natives, through
one Of their most intelligent women,
are discovering the true identity Of
the strange troops. It Is thrilling,
too, In those passages which are de-
voted to the revelation Of the true
status OF the local QuiSling, q gentle
man who Is disposed OF finally In q
fashion that would do credit to
Scarlet O'Hara. A
It Is quite battle that provides
the climax OF the English picture
at the Little, but both the battle
and its prelude Of brutal beatings
Of women, the shooting Of child hos
tages and other details follow the
conventional pattern.
An excellent cast of English adult
and child performers participates in
"48 Hours" Most prominently one
will find Frank Lawton, Valerie
Taylor, Leslie Banks and Muriel
George, who have given distinction
to many a British Aim. G.

Anglo American News Pool
On Invasion Is Abandoned

The Anglo pool of news
reports, organized to facilitate the
distribution of correspondents dis
patches on the invasion Of France,
was discontinued at 6 am. yesterday.
The pool made $4,000 words day
available to American press services.
There was considerable dispute
concerning what material should be
pooled and what should be filed ex-
clusively by the services.
The Once of War Information
said in a note to editors that aban-
donment of the pool was ordered by
Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters on
grounds that sufncient reporters
and communications channels were
available.
Approximately 100 reporters we're
scattered throughout the areas OF
action on the assumption that all
their reports would be pooled. Cor
respondents from rival services row
will be assigned to the same key
areas, perhaps leaving secondary.

When the heavy fire stopped, Our
men were organized by their ofii-
GERS and pushed on inland, circling
machine gun nests and taking them
from the rear. AS one officer said,
the only way to take q beach is to
face it and keep going. 1t is costly
at first, but 1t is the only way. II
the men are pinned down on the
beach, dug in and out of action,
they might as well not be there
at all.
They hold up the waves behind
them. Our men were pinned down
for a while, but finally they stood
up and went through and so we
took that beach and accomplished
our landing. We did it with every
advantage on the enemy's side and
every disadvantage on ours. In the
light Of a couple days retrospection
we sit and talk and call it a miracle
we ever got on at all or that we
were able to stay on.
Before long units that did it will

as unit. And yet If you take the
entire beachhead assault, including
other units that had a much easier
time, our total casualties for open
ing the wedge onto the continent
of Europe are remarkably low, only
a fraction, in fact, Of what our COM
manders had been prepared to ac-
cept.-
And these units that were so
battered and went through such
hell are still right at this moment
pushing on inland without rest,
their spirits high, their egotism in
victory almost reaching smart
alecky stage.
Their tails are up. We've done it
again, they say. They figure the
rest of the Army isn't needed at all,
which proves their judgment is bad,
but 1t certainly is the spirit that
wins battles and eventually wars
