THE HARD WAY"
COMING SUNDAY
AT 10Th CENTURY

THE Hard Way" starring Ida
Lupino, Dennis Morgan and Joan
Leslie will make its debut at the
goth Century Sunday.
This is the story of deeply am
bilious and luxury-loving woman
whose fanatical love for her only
sister leads her to such lengths that
she ruthlessly exploits all those who
stand in her way.
Ida Lupino portrays the role of
Helen Chernen, with Joan Leslie
playing the innocent and talented
young sister katherine.
Pitted against them are Dennis
Morgan and Jack Carson. cast as
the vaudeville team of Runkel and
Collins, whose lives are intimately
linked with those of the sisters.
The dull and sordid mining town
of Greenhill, Pa, has left its mark
on Helen Chernen, and she is de-
termined that her young sister shall
not suffer the same fate.
Albert Runkel, simple, lovable
partner of the small time troupe of
Runkel and Collins, plays into her
hands when he expresses keen adj
miration for katherine. Through
skillful, calculating strategy, Helen
maneuvers the marriage of kath-
crime and Albert, so that they can
all leave the next day with the
troupe on a cross country tour.
From then on their are thrilling
doings.

UN.COvERING
WASHINGTON

white House Correspondent
Released Through the Atlanta Daily
World By NkPAl

On the surface, the political CAM
paign this fall will be between
Roosevelt and Dewey. They are re-
spectively the standard-bearers OF
the Democratic and Republican
parties.
Ostensibly their campaigns will
be run by Hannegan for the Demo-
Gratis and Brownell for the Repuoh-
cans.
But the biggest issue. the most
controlling factor in the fall cleo
tons is going TO be the Negro vote
in nine strategic states-New York.
Pennsylvania. Illinois, Michigan.
Missouri, New Jersey, Maryland.
Ohio and Kentucky. In these states,
where Negroes vote without poll
tax, grandfather clause, or other
restrictions. the Negro vote is UNI
deniably the balance Of power.
II either OF the presidential cam
didates can carry all nine OF these
states, he will have a handicap OF
207 electoral votes OF a necessary
225 10 be elected President OF the
United States.
For these reasons, the outcome
OF the November election is going
10 depend largely upon the success
or failure OF two Negroes. They
are the men who will head up,
officially or otherwise, their respec-
tive party campaigns among Me-
groes. For the Democrats that man
is William l.. Dawson. the only
Negro in the 18th congress. For the
Republicans, he is DR.. G. B. Powell,
Dewey appointee 10 the New York
State Boxing Commission, a MEM
Der of Dewey's committee TO study
discrimination in New York, and
publisher Of the New York Amster-
dam Star-News.
Dawson is seasoned campaigner.
He is deft operator. He Is a con-
vincing speaker He is experienced
in getting out the vote, which he
has had TO do for himself and for
others over a long number OF years
in Chicago. And he is a man OF his
word.
Powell Is relatively new 10 the
grass-roots political game. He is,
on the other hand. a man Of in
tegrity and industry. He has a
newspaper at his command with a
reasonably large national circula-
ton.
While the world will be watching
the tilt between Roosevelt and
Dewey. the real battling will be
carried on by Dawson and Powell.
They will be trying 10 protect their
own and pierce the others Achilles
heel. for both the Republicans and
Democrats have their vulnerable
spots.
Both OF them know The rules OF
the game. Each Of them is sold" on
his party's candidate. May they
both keep ever in mind their re-
spousibilty 10 their superior officer

In this case. OF course. the people"
means the Negro people for and be-
fore whom they will perform.

Free Air Show
Opens at Ppm.

After setting attendance records for two
successive Sundays the great Army Air Show
at the City Airport was expected to hit new
mark this Sunday with the weather promising
to be more agreeable. Partly cloudy and cooler
is the prediction, with relief in sight from the
heat.
The first Sunday of the show saw nearly
100000 persons going through the many tents
and exhibits and viewing the $25,000,000 worth
of fighters and bombers on the flight line.
Last Sundays crowd was estimated in ex-
cess of the previous weeks. With Saturdays
vast turnout for international Day, expert
counters at the show estimated that total at
tendance was fast approaching the 100000
mark.
And with the soaring attendance came
spurts in all the drives which are part of the
motive behind the Army Air Show. Bond sales,
stamp sales, Air WAC recruiting and the spirit
of Every Day Is D-Day in Detroit" were pick
ing up steadily.
This week will be the final one for the
Army Air Show. 1t has been sponsored by The
Detroit Times in cooperation with the Army
Air Forces Materiel Command, and the Aero
Club Of Michigan. 1t is free.
The Air Show will be open from p. m TO
10 p m. all this week, except Friday when the
Swing shifters' will again get a chance to see
the show from 10 a. M on.
