STATE

If you intend to see "Ali Bahia and
the Forty Thieves" produced in
technicolor and co-starring Maria
Montez, Jon Hall and Turhan Bey,
currently at Warmers State theater
you'll have to hurry as perform
ances tomorrow evening positively
conclude its engagement. Moon
light In Vermont, with Gloria Jean
Is the second hit of the current pro-
gram.
Every once in q while-all else
being equal-a picture comes along
that is an instant and outstanding
success. OF course cast, story, d.
rector and production must all be
there in the first place. But given
equal sendoffs, who can explain why
one picture finds an immediate and
universal audience where another as
we'll done, may fail?
Warner Bros. seems to have the
answer - good tint g. Remember
"Casablanca" and the miracle that
made Warner Bros. launch 1t at the
very hour Of our invasion Of North
Africa? The same company's latest
candidate for the department of
good timing Is Passage to Marseille'
the new action packed film starring
Humphrey Bogart and opening its
engagement at the State starting
Wednesday.
It's no military secret that we're
standing poised for an invasion of
all Europe. And q quick glance at
map Of Europe will tell you that
Marseille, an important port on the
South coast of France-easily access
sible from North African bases may
very well be number one beach,
head for American troops in tomor-
rows headlines.
But Passage to Marseille' is more
than just timely. 1t Is as well, the
story Of mans courage and devo-
ton to the cause Of freedom. Speci-
fically, 1t Is the story Of five men re-
jected by the society in which they
live, who nevertheless risk their lives
to return and defend that society
from its enemies.
In the new film Bogart plays
Matrac, anti-FasciSt French journ-
alist arrested for a murder he did
not commit and confined to Devils
Island. W4th four other convicts
played by Philip Dorm, Peter FORE,
Helmut Dantine and George Tobias,
Matrac undertakes to escape and re-
turn to fight for France.
The producer has surrounded Bo-
CART with a fine cast Of supporting
players. In addition to the above
named stars the cast includes such
favorites as Michele Morgan and
Claude Rains.

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

AS I said in yeSteday'S article,
the North and South hands shown
today present a very interesting
combination Of cards. Today am
giving you the East and West cards
also, and wish to know whether OF
not you can make seven spades.
To make it more difficult, West
again opens the ten Of hearts. T)e-
clarer goes up with the king from
dummy and East signals with the
nine. Vests bid of four diamonds
has warned the declarer that he
must expect freak distribution. 1t
looks fairly safe, however, to lead
the eight Of diamonds, win with
the ace and return the queen OF
diamonds. A careless declarer now
might ruff with the four of spades
and have 1t over-ruffed, but South
should ruff with dummy'S nine
spot. Now what should East dis
card? If he discards a club, he sets
up the whole club suit. If he dis

cash the ace of hearts, ruff heart,
and his jack becomes good.
Suppose that when dummy ruffs
the diamond with the nine OF
spades, East makes the fine play OF

Beauties Hints
When Illness
Keeps You Abed
Put Time To Use
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Even illness has its bright side
when q woman uses an enforced
stay in bed to catch up on neg
lected beauty treatments. SO says
one busy carer woman, whom I
complimented recently because she
looked so much prettier after a
siege in the hospital.
Pinning her down to cases, here
are some tips was able to CLEAN.
which she says can be used to inn
prove your looks and give your
morale shot in the arm.
1.-THE time to get rid of corns
and callouses is when feet are in
active, she says. Il treated every
corny tee and horny spot on my
feet to pads and solvents, slipped
on bed socks, and lay blissfully quiet
while science and nature took their
course. When I got out of bed, my
feet were as unblemished as a
child'S. SO, thank my illness for
a wonderful new feeling underfoot."
Her hair, polished to look like
hand-rubbed mahogany, is some
thing else for which she thanks
her enforced stay in bed. "Ordin-
arily," she told me, Il don't take
time to whip a brush endlessly in
and out of my hair. But with moth
ing else to do, decided I'd try 1t
and see what would happen"
Her hands, SO much more
smooth skinned than you see at
the tail end Of winter, told their
own story Of q sick-room routine.
Their owner vouched for their story,
though, by explaining that she
dipped into a lotion bottle pretty
often and spent idle moments mas
saying crinkles out Of her hands.
Her skin testified to careful nur-
turing, and our career lady ex-
planned that she had kept 1t creased
up almost the entire time that she
was confined to her bed.

must necessarily sacrifice 1t when
she becomes mother, at any rate
for given length of time. More
than this, bringing up q child is
seven-day-a-aweek job. For women
to be willing to have more than one
or perhaps two children we must
make plans to make things easier
for them. outside of modernized
homes, nursery schools and the
other social services, we must give
mothers such help as will allow
them to have some regular free time
off every week. The diaper service
is Just one of many"

Gas Coupons
Will Be Sent
Through Mail
BY AN NSTEvICK
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Mar. 6.-You won't
have to make a trip to the ration
BOARD and line up for your gas
coupons if new Office of Price Adj
ministration plan goes through.
Issuance centers will be set up
throughout the country from which
coupons can be sent by mail
order system. Issuance centerS were
first tried experimentally. They
have worked well, so it is practically
decided to spread the system, nail
ing another plank in the platform
to make rationing easier for the
vonsumer.
MORE ABOUT TOKENS
The new token plan will help
in food rationing because stamps
will be good about twice as long
as before, eliminating much Of
the frenz of expiration-day buy
ing. 1t also will reduce the num-
Der of stamps handled by grocery
and banks, and will make 1t
easier to check up on ration ac-
counts. OPA is busy on q coun-
terfeit detection program which
includes the use Of violet ray to
check up on the stamps grocers
turn in. Consequently, there
probably will be fewer tempta-
lions to buy rationed foods with
out stamps.

1t is this middle Glass;" under
the contemptuous epithet of the
"bourgeoisie," that the Communists
of Russia have sworn to exterminate.
Our American Communists, said
Mr.. Johnston, have not yet caught
on" to the fact that there are no
proletarians" in America.
HOW, THEN, CAN YOU MAKE
A PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION,
MR.. NSTON ASKED HIS
HOSTS, AMONG WORKERS WHO
DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT
THEY ARE PROLETARIANS?
A ND then Mr.. Johnston made his
n boldest statement before these
enemies of our political and economic
system when he said
"f you medning the Russian
Reds) take pepper, they sneeze.
"H you have Indigestion, they
beIch."
In word, he told the Russians,
from the head blouse in the Kremlin
down to the most humble worker,
that the American Communist party,
no matter how often it changed its
name, was directed from Moscow and
was, therefore NOT AMERICAN in
any sense.
Let us admit this gulf between the
two peoples
Let Russia stay on her own prem
Uses and indulge in any experiments
she sees fit.
And the U. S. A. will, in turn, stay
on her own premises and pursue her
own free enterprise way.
Having this understanding, we
can still do business on bridge over
the gulf that divides us.
But hands off of our institutions!
Eric Johnston has blown to shreds
all the rhetorical bowling, scraping
and bootlicking of the Joe Davleses
and Wendell WILKES.
He has spoken the truth to Russia
on her home ground.
For that he deserves the thanks
of the much deceived American
people.
