BATTLE OF FRANCE

We hear SO much Of foctionoI strife within the
provisional French government thot are likely
to forget the unity, the bravery, and the growing
strength Of the underground within France itself 1t
was something Of surprise then, TO read Of
port presented to the French Consultative Assembly
in Aleiers in which it wos disclosed that it is the
underground now, and not the occupying Nozis, that
is presenting ultimotuns.
After patriots blew up q powder factory and
Recommendations hotel in GrenobIe the Nozis
seized 300 hostoees The patriots told them to re-
lease the prisoners or expect ,reprsos. The Nozis
refused, and the patriots then blew up German
barracks, killing 22O and njurne 49,
This is os encouraging os the squobbes Of De
GouIIe, Groud, ct al, nave been dsheortenine And
it lends strength to the appeal uttered by an escaped
member of the underground to the assembly: I'VE
want you, too, to be os united os ore"
With the French patriots accomplishing SO much
against friohtfuI odds, it seems little enough for
their provisional government to give them ossur-
once Of appreciation and common aim, and to let
them know that political pickering will be adjourned
until the greet coming battle is won.

HOLLYWOOD - A former
press agent for the Nazi Storm
Troops, who was marked for
liquidation in the blood purge
of June 80, 1884, is now pri-
vate in Uncle Sans Army.
In fact. it was almost a dou-
BILE ceremony when Peter Poh-
LEM, recently Hollywood &C
tor and technical advisor, was
indicted. He received his citi-
zenship papers at 9 a. m. and
was sworn into the Army at l
p. m.
Pohlenz, son of university
professor in Breslau, was a
public relations officer with
the Storm Troops in Silesia in
the press, propaganda and pho
tographic division" He was
forced to enter Nazi work
camp and then join the Storm
Troops to prove his party loyal
ty.
In the work camp, he almost
became crippled by being on his
feet from a. m. TO 9 p. m. ev-
cry day, receiving full army
training in addition TO road
building assignments.
ESCAPED PURGE
On July l, 1884, his parents
were to celebrate their 25th
wedding anniversary. Pohlenz
was given a furlough 10 join
them at their home, just four
miles from the Czech border.
At his home, he learned by
radio of the massacre of the
troops on orders OF Hitler and
the regular army. Knowing that
lie would be marked for killing
oy the very nature of his rank
as Troop Leader, he escaped
into Czech territory. He still has
the letter of furlough, permit
ting him to be absent from June
% to July 1.
Months later, when the hue
and cry had died GOWN, he re-
turned TO Germany and was
permitted to resume his univer-

and found TO have no sympathy
with Nazi ideologies despite
having been forced to serve
with the Storm Troops.
AS a fighting CT, he hopes for
the chance to puncture-with

COLLEGE OF THE FUTURE

IN the accession of COLGATE UniVersltYs lZoth
anniversary Dr. Everett Needhom Case, ITS Pres'-
dent issued report which roughly outlines the UNI
versitvs plans for the future. 1t might seem tnot
such plans ore Of no immediate concern. Ntter o''
the worlds biggest war IS tor from won' ana ou'
tremendous tosk Of economic reodlustment IS sun
loroeIy matter Of bluePrnts and conjecture
But the countrys colleges have their own re-
conversion" problems, too Few OF them have es-
coped the dsruptive influence Of war At colgate

ice or to more necessary jobs The cW'on stuoen'
body was reduced by Almost nine-tenths New studies
and new emphasis changed the curriculum to con-
form to the needs Of sailors and Marines bosed there
for fIiqht and other training programs.
This DISRUPTION Of normal academic life, how
ever. did Oxford "on unparalleled opportunity tor
tokno fresh stock Of educational ends and
means" Or. Case points out. And though the re-
suits of this stook-tokng have not been formally re-
ported, they will probably fulfill Dr.. Coses Predc-
ton that "our aim must not be to diversity but to
deepen and enrich our characteristic contribution
The end Of the war is bound to bring both
need and market for technical training. Hundreds
of thousands Of young men and women will come
out of the armed forces and war plants with new
skills and new interest in technical motters.
THE toCt remains, however, says DR. Oose
"thot the great problems Of contemporary cWiIizo-
ton are not technical, but human and social We
have been warned that unless we can keep pace So

Who is to achieve this understanding? Not only
the rulers Of men, certainly but as many Of the
John Does Of the world as have the mental capacity
to receive it. As long there is need for such
derstondne there will be need for liberal orts COL

OFFICIALS DELAY
 BAZAAR OPENING
Inspection Party Find Im- proper Wiring, Order
 Canvas Removed

Mindful of the disaster wrought by an inflammable circus tent in Hartford last week, city officials last night banned the opening of a bazaar at Our Lady of Mount Carmel church on Highland avenue after an inspection showed that tent mater ials were inflammable and wiring used in lighting was defective.
 The inspection party, including Deputy Police Superintendent Fred erick Hickey, Acting Fire Marshal Eugene A. Legge and Electrical In- spector Martin O'Rourke visited the grounds after bazaar operators ap- piled to the police department for a permit.
 Captain Legge, after looking over the 10 canvas booths and a refresh- ment tent on the grounds, tore a loose piece of canvas from one Of the booths and easily ignited 1t with a match.
 The electrical inspector found im- properly spliced wiring, in violation of a city ordinance.
 The ofncials forbade opening of the bazaar until the wiring is re- paired in accordance with the ordi- nance and all canvas is removed from the grounds.

STRAND

For the first time on the screen Jimmy Durante finishes his song, T Gotta Go, I Gotta Stay" without being interrupted.
 This occurs in M-G-M's TWO Girls And A Sailor, current on the screen at the Strand. But that's only one of the "firsts" in this sparkling new musical comedy. An- other is the fact that for the first time Producer Joe Pasternak launches two young actresses that are on their way to simultaneous stardom in the same picture.
 We've got enough "firsts" in this show to give the picture Number One Prior-ity!" says Jimmy Dur ante.
 Producer Pasternak for the first time has two title roles played by comparative newcomers, June Ally son and Gloria DeHaven. In the past he has been content to concen- trate on one at time, notably Deanna Durbin and Kathryn Gray son.

Wherever there's a thumbtack and a man-there you'll find Betty Grable! It's as inevitable as that. simple, unadorned fact of the matter is that Betty stands to- day as Americas undisputed No. Pin Up Girl" Seven million serv- ice men---f-om Guadalcanal to Salerno |. from Akron to Alaska those barracks, tents planes and tanks her likenesses adorns, can't be wrong! How can the millions of home front fans who have breathed the blonde and shapely, beauty to the pinnacle of screen success. What with her pin up status, and her personal con- tribution to moral building in hos pitals, army camps, naval stations and other places of troop concen-
 trations throughout the country, Miss Grable has become a distinc- tive, streamlined symbol of our times. First 1t was an accident that 20th Century-Fox decided to make a motion picture celebrating Miss Grable's eminence in the can- teen of the men of the armed forces and the public generally.

THE SITUATION: A woman, who is gaing to visit for a week or so in a house without a servant is packing the clothes she will need.
 WRONG WAY: Pack only clothes suitable for street or party wear.
 RIGHT WAY: Include a house dress or two and some aprons when you pack. (Then you will not only with the housework, but the knowledge that you brought some working cslothes along will reassure her as to the fact that you came expecting to pitch in and help)
