Take the laughs you would ordi-
narily expect from Danny Kaye and
multiply by two. The explanation
is simple enough. In Wonder Man"
at Keith's, this week, you get Mr..
Kaye in double doses and the re-
suit Is twice as funny.
Wonder Man" achieves q kind OF
musical comedy combination that's
hard to explain chat is II you're
completely sane). Let's put it this
way. When the lovely Goldwyn
girls are out there basking in Tech
nicolor you'll experience an uncon-
trollable desire to let it go at that.
The dancing and song sets seem to
rest on their laurels. So do songs
such rs so in Love-" and dance
routines of the satirical type which
Danny and Vera Ellen whip up on
Balinese dancing incidentally,
wait until you get an eyeful of the
bejeweled get-up Kaye dons in this
one. We have sneaking suspicion
the wardrobe department did a
hasty conversion job on that much
talked of creation worn by Turhan
Bey in a recent desert epic
But begone chorus girls, music,
plush night club sets, and all the
rest of the trappings and there are
still more laughs left than in most
straight comedy scripts. The idea
of identical twins isn't new. Nor
the trick photography conjured up
by ghost coming back to life on
the screen. But when the situations
are combined as in Wonder Man"
it makes for some of the most hi
.larious moments we have witnessed
on the screen. Frankly, we're toss
ing bouquets both ways-so please
duck Mr. Kaye and all script writer's
concerned.
BY the way, if you aren't going to
be confused by which Danny Kaye
is really Danny Kaye-oh we'll, what

we mean is. you better get in at
the beginning of the picture. Other
wise the whole proceedings may ap-
pear slightly mixed-up. You see,
Danny Kaye. that is the one in the
picture known as Buzzy, gets
bumped off by some gangsters rela-
lively early in the proceedings. His
twin brother Edwin, the professional
type of book worm given to haunt
ing libraries and spouting six syl-
liable words, is called to the scene of
the crime by Buzzie's spirit and in
formed he must take over. In other
words Edwin has to get hep in a
hurry in order to fill Buzzie's spot
in the show at the Club Pelican. In
this way Edwin can avenge the
crime and bring the real culprits to
justice.
In addition to this obvious
strain, there are two
blondes, both in love with the two
Mr.. Hayes and by this time as
mixed up as you are. Now you got
the background. Maybe you can or
can't understand why no less than

That beautiful dream-World Great

jolt by postwar audiences. Cowan,
returned from a jaunt through 26
cities in which he observed audience
reactions to his picture, "Story of

writer's has arisen which displaces
the prewar protest school, best ex-
emplified by Clifford Odets. War
correspondents like Hal Boyle, the
late Raymond Clapper and Ernie
Pyle are the new vogue. Their
method has been to describe what
they saw, and allow the reader to
make his own Interpretation.
War correspondents of this type,
says Cowan, know their America
from actual travel and contact with
people, many Of them have their
origins in the Middle West, which,
says Cowan, is the core OF America.

earlier by Reynaud.

Former Catholic u. Dean
Heads franciscan Order

The Most Rev. Valentine Schaaf
o. F. NJ, a former member of the
faculty of Catholic University, has
been named head of the Order of
Friars Minor, according to word re-
ceived today at the university. The
appointment as minister general
was announced by the Sacred Con-
gregation of the Affairs of Religion
of the Vatican.
Father Schaaf, who was born in
Cincinnati, is the first American
born priest to be appointed head of
the Franciscan order. His head
quarters will be in Rome, where for
the past six years he has served as
member of the general chapter of
the order.
After receiving four degrees at
Catholic University in 1919, 1920
and 1921, Father Schaaf joined the
faculty in 1928 as associate professor
of canon law. In 1923 he was pro-
NOTED to a full professorship and in
1888 he became dean of the School
of Canon Law, where he served
until 1887.
BY virtue of his new Office, Father
Schaaf now has jurisdiction over
100000 members of the First, Sec
ond and Third Orders, which were
founded by st. Francis of Assist in
the 18th century.

Officers Don't Agree
On Results Of First
'Sleep-Shift' Ride

Opinions differed today on the re-
suits of the Army's first Sleep
shift" troop train carrying 585 Texas
veterans home from Camp Kilmer,
N. j., under a system of rotating
passengers between rPullmans and
chair cars, according to the Asso-
ciated Press.
AS an experiment, "It stinks, ("
said 1t John w. Bowers of Harlin-
gen, Tex. mess officer who rides
troop trains as part of the admins
trative force. His comment was reg
istered on arrival at Fort Worth.
Later however when the trair
arrived at Fort Sam Houston, Mai.
Samuel N. Farley, War Department
observer aboard the train, reported
that what few gripes ! heard we're
about the hot weather and dirty
clothes. Generally, the men seemed
to think the idea worked out all
right"
1t. August L. Kruger, at San
Antonio, thought the trip worked
out perfect except when the air con-
ditioning stopped at Fort Worth.
Everything worked out very
smoothly but I believe that if the
coach seats were the reclining type,
it would have helped" he said.
Some of the men took the back of
the seats off at night to sleep bet
ter"
The trip took two days and three
nights so one group had two nights
of Pullman travel and the other
group one. The soldiers swapped
places at ST. Louis and Fort Worth.
The half Pullman, half-coach
train left Camp Kilmer Sunday
night. The War Department plan
was for veterans to take turn about
riding the Pullmans and the
coaches.
At first it was decided to give the
men l2-hour shifts in the Pullmans.
Then, those aboard said, this was
changed to "a hours.
The test run was devised after
other veterans complained they
were forced to travel in coaches
five and six to each double seat.

japanese suicide planes seriously
damaged the light cruiser st. Louis
in the battle for Leyte Gulf, but
they couldn't keep her from coming

Navy revealed last night, the 10000
ton ship lQbbed 26,265 rounds of
five and six inch projectiles, weigh
ing 2,116,585 pounds, into Japanese

ture was on April l, when 1,450
rounds were fired to support initial
landings.

She was engaged in fueling eXer-
cises when a japanese plane dived
out of the clouds to drop a bomb.
Hardly had the bomb splash disap-
peared when a formation of 10I
enemy planes appeared overhead.
The st. Louis guns opened fire as
a single-engined enemy dive bomber
peeled off. The plane was knocked
out of control and it crashed in
flames against the cruisers star
board side.
Fire and explosions aboard the
cruiser attracted other suicide
planes and five other kamikazeS
singled out the burning ship.
A second attack came from an
other single-engined dive bomber
which the ships gunners shot down
to port. A third fell on the star
board side.

Then a ngle-engined fighter, al |
though well riddled, came in on the
port side, ripping away some of the
ships hull plating.
Altogether in the action of the
10 attacking planes were shot down
in less than 40 minutes, by the st.
Louis and 2 others with the assist
ance of other ships.
Although seriously damaged, the
st. Louis still was af1oat and full of
fight when the enemy attacks ended.
After the battle damage was re-
paired the ship returned to action.

Food as q Weapon

Some one once said that food
would win the war and write the
peace. The statement is an exag-
geration, of course, but that food
can be a potent weapon for the
coercion of hungry men and women
is plainly shown by the contro-
versy which has split the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration.
Representatives of four of the
twenty-eight UNNRA member ma
tions-Russia, Yugoslavia, Poland
and Observation-Disclosures to use
food as an instrument for COM
pelling their absentee nationals to
return home. Presumably these
countries fear that the absentees, If
allowed to remain at large, will
serve as rallying points for all those
who are hostile to the political
regimes at home, and it can hardly
be said that this apprehension is
entirely lacking in substance.
Nevertheless, the refusal of the
twenty-four other UNNRA members
to 60 along with this plan should
be welcomed. Stated bluntly, the
objective of the dissenting four is
to starve their nationals into sub
mission, to compel them to return
to their home countries by denying
them access to food or other aid in
their places Of refuge. This would
make OF UNNRA political weapon,
and would make this country, as
well as all participating countries,
parties to the augmentation ,of
political programs over which I'VE
have no control, and the ultimate
