Hell p to Keep Fighters in Touch With Home

30,000-mile tour of the Pacific thea
ter, Maj. Gen. Frederick H. Osborn,
U. S. army, director Of the morale
services division, army service
forces, said that motion pictures
have proved an effective antidote to
the tension and physical strain of
battle, and that they are particular
ly welcome to men just returned
from the front.
His tour, which included "the larg-
est motion picture circuit in his
tory" maintained by the overseas
motion picture service Of army
service forces in the Pacific, proved
to him, he said, that "the Pacific
soldier is the most avid movie-goer
in the world"
The distribution of first-run films
to the various fronts by air is on a
par with any similar commercial
operation, the general pointed out,
and came about because combat Of
ficers want their men to relax after
they come out of the lines. The
movie has proved to be the solution.

A screen against jungle backdrop
brings the soldier close to home
again."
The army service forces has ar
ranged to distribute films in rotation
to the combat areas of the Pacific,
after which they are routed to sup
porting units farther to the rear. In
this way, troops in actual combat
are the first to be shown the latest
of Hollywood's screen offerings. ALSO
given high priority for early show
ings are the wounded in hospitals.
Movies Take Him Home.
"The soldier wants to see pictorial
views of streets that remind him of
his home town, of people he might
meet on those streets; of women to
remind him of his mother, his wife;
his sweetheart; of ordinary happen
ings in which he will again partici-
pate.
"This tremendous movie chains
value as good will factor is beyond
computation. In New Guinea, for
example, where Australian and
American soldiers fight side by side,
they sit down to see an American
film side by side. Our troops visit
Australian camps where the screen
is predominently American"
Newsreels, comedies, and musical
pictures are high on the GIL. hit
list. "Soldiers dislike war pictures
with glorified heroes" General o.
born said.
"They like to see international
films, those that explain war STRAIT
egg and show real battle scenes. The
soldier is anxious to see what his
weapons can do. The army's why
We Fight series has immeasurably
bettered his understanding of issues
at stake. 'Snafu,' the cinema comic
of the Army-Navy Screen Magazine,
is Pacific favorite."
General Osborn included Austria

Caledonia, Solomon Islands, New
Hebrides, New Georgia, Bougain-
vile, and Fiji in his 80, 000-mile itin-
erary of the Pacific theater.
81 have seen tropical theaters
seating 5000 soldiers on wooden
benches, and 1000 sitting on crates
and logs and oil tins in an outdoor

Soldiers frequently sit in tropical
downpours for one and two hours
before showtime to enjoy a run-of-
the-mill film made silent when the
sound track breaks down, and then
return the next night to see it again.
During alarms the men quietly
leave the theater and as quietly re-
sumo their seats afterward to see
the rest of the movie. While excava.

II have seen men watch a picture
from such distance that the screen
was the size of a postage stamp,
and I have heard men grippe at
poor show but sit through it to the
end. With several pictures playing
on various bases on an island, men
were known to walk nightly many
miles around the entire island until
they had seen all the pictures.

sions. The average admission is IA
cents, and any profit derived there
from goes toward expanding the
service.
Ever since the declaration Of war,
as special favor to servicemen,
pictures playing the army circuit
have, as rule, preceded showings
in commercial theaters except
where these showings confiicted with
exhibition contracts of movie thea
tiers near the camps. Servicemen
unfamiliar with required trade prac-
tees, complain at times because
they see pictures in these CONNER
cial theaters before the camp movie
houses show them.
The navy does not experience this
difficulty because, generally speak
ing, its pictures are shown free on
shipboard or, in some instances, for
small admission at naval stations,
the profits going toward improving
and expanding the service.
Old Films Shown at First.
When the conflict broke suddenly
after Pearl Harbor, we were just
as unprepared for maintaining a
worldwide entertainment program
as we were for global combat. The
first expeditionary forces that left
for the South Pacific took along 1000
old 16-mm. pictures purchased in the
open market, which were the only
films of that size available at the
time. Later, when the African ex-
petition sailed, a similar war de-
partment purchase was made. And
further complications were added
through the indiscriminate buying of
old films and portable equipment by
embarking troop units as large as
battalions, all striving to meet an
entertainment emergency.
Although the army has been able
to recall all but 300 of these old
films, those still in circulation de-
spite of efforts to recover them,
combined with the unauthorized 16-
nm. films remaining overseas, add
up to a sizeable headache. Service
men who still sit through these old
programs complain loudly.
Another source of complaint lies
in the wartime dislocation abroad
of the commercial motion picture in
dustry. In such battle-blasted areas
as Sicily, films as ancient as Rim
Tin-Tin are often featured in local
theaters for outrageous admission
prices. But this is not strange, con-
sidering that Mussolini barred
American films in Italy in 1888. No
new pictures have been shipped into
Italian territory since, excepting
those supplied through the motion
picture industry's gift service. The
16-mm. gift films, however, are now
going overseas at the rate of 159
prints of three new programs each
week. New combat zone circuits are
being added rapidly and projection
facilities are improving and increas-
ing. This means that film shows in
all theaters of war, barring the in
evitable descriptions and annoyances
occasioned by battle action, are
bound to achieve a state of diminish
ing complaints and rising perfection.

AFL MEMBERS PROUD
OF THEIR WORK

Washington, D. C.-All America
was thrilled by the spectacular bomb
ing of Japan by long-range Super
fortresses, but no one got as big a
kick out of the news as the thousands
OF AFL workers who make these
giants of the air.
In Boeing plants at Seattle, Wichita
and other sections of the country
where the Superfortresses are in pro-
duction, AFL workers pledged them
selves to increase output of the
worlds biggest, newest and most pow
erful bombing plane.
Millions of words were printed in
the newspapers in praise of the great
Superfortresses, but few mentioned
the fact that the skill and genius of
union workers made them possible.
One of the few exceptions was Un-
der Secretary of War Robert P. Pat
terson, who said:
"The bombing of the islands of
Japan by our new Superfortresses, the
B-29, is just beginning. We will
strike at the heart of Japan again and
again. The Superfortresses are prod
uct Of American labor and industrial
genius and are very tangible exam
pie of the partnership existing be-
tween those laboring on the home
front and the armed forces in the ac-
tive theaters Of war"

them? What will go into export
and what will be available for
home folks?
That leads to international ques-
tions.
Will Russia dominate the continent
of Europe, economically, after the
war? Will Britain gain or lose in eco
nomic might and prestige? Will
France be vassalage, or real ma
tion again? Will there be Poland?
Or a Czecho Slovakia? And, with or
without power to buy?
What will Latin America, with her
new, large and growing trade balance,
want from us? All of these questions
affect postwar planning.
What sort of Germany will exist
after the war?
How much of our own economy will
continue to be war economy?
In other words, how much of our
productive ability will go on producing
army and navy commodities
What encouragements, restraints, or
false moves, will there be from our
own government, in the transition
stage?
What will labor think and do, or
fail to do?
Brother, when you talk postwar
planning, you are talking about the
biggest riddle of our time.
And yet, if there is no effort to
plan, the muddle may well lead to the
widest chaos and heart-break.
1t could be hand grenades

apples for sale on the street

Your Bonds Now Buy More

Washington, D. ca year ago
when group of workers decided to
buy enough bonds to finance the pur-
chase Of heavy bomber, they had to
raise $500,0O0. Today, the same bomb
er can be purchased for half that
amount, the War Department reports.
Why? Because both plants and
workers have developed an efficiency
Of operation traceable to experience
and because costs have gone down as
production went up.
So the same union war workers who
have led all other groups in bond pur-
chases are partly responsible for the
increased purchasing power of those
bonds. The suggestions for improving
and speeding production that war
workers have made have done much
to lower those costs.

Everyone is being urged to think
about postwar planning and to do as
much of it as possible.
And good deal of postwar plan
ming talk is bunk.
Only very few can do any
large scale postwar planning, be-
cause only a few know enough
about the factors involved and no.
body knows all of them.
Domestic postwar planning depends
upon a lot of things.
Among these are: Do we have in
flation or not? Do we have depression
or prosperity? What new materials
shall we have and what will be the
patent restrictions?
What new methods shall we have
and how will they be controlled?
Will world cartels be out the window
or in the parlor?
Will new devices be in mass pro-
duction in six months, or in two
years?
You can add to that string of ques-
tions. There are many to be added
As for example, how many peo-
pie will WANT new materials and
new devices when they are
offered? How many can buy

. E and Puthoff SITS.

One hundred and thirty other ma
tional organizations have joined with
the council in united effort to pre-
vent an avalanche Of holiday accidents
that would waste manpower, material
and time needed to back up Americas
fighting men in the crucial invasion
period.
The campaign is designed to help
public officials, traffic officers and
safety leaders in their efforts to curb
the annual jamboree of carelessness
which marks the July holiday period.
"Gas or no gas" said Col. John
Stilweh, president of the council,
"traffic deaths are going up through
out the country, and we may as well
face the fact that unless drivers and
pedestrians use more care, the Fourth
of July accident toll will skyrocket.
Holidays traffic will be heavy, be-
yond doubt. Thousands Of wartime
factories will be running full blast,
and hundred Of thousands of war
workers will be going to and from
their jobs. To this essential traffic
must be added the holiday travel
which while lighter than in pre-war
days, perhaps still will present added
public hazard.
"The least we can do on the home
front to help our boys on the battle
front is to prevent accidents that de-
lay victory and increase the battle
toll"

Women Found Getting Pay
Equal to Mems In Union Jobs

Halifax, N. s. (ILNS).-The en-
ployment for women committee Of the
local women's Council has reported to
the annual meeting of the council that
women in union jobs and doing the
same work as men, are receiving the
same wages as men, but that women
doing the same work as men but un-
der non-unlon conditions, are being
paid considerably less than the men"
they are working with.
This information was cleaned in a
survey made by the special committee
during the past year. The survey was
limited to Halifax and suburbs and
included full time and part time work
in and out Of war industries.
