 Producer DOre Schary, disturbed by the conviction that the motion picture industry is grossly misunder- stood by the public, advocates the formation of a Hollywood lecture bureau which would supply qualified speakers to explain the studios aims, ambitions and problems to theater-goers. l think his suggestion rates applause, but my opinion is not based entirely on the public's need for information about Holly wood. Even more good would be &C., complished If the industry's spokes- men, in going out to "educate" MT. and Mrs. America, were to inadvert- ently pick up some first-hand know ledge about the public they are try ing to serve. Schary. one of the most intelligent executives in the business, frankly admits that Holly wood has a lot to learn, too.
 
 Columbia bosses, about to screen the life story of Al Jolson, have de- cided to make reference to only one of his three wives, Ruby Keeler. If asked why" they undoubtedly would contend that the other two are omitted in an effort to tighten the plot - but l think they would, in that event, be hedging bit. With in the past year, 1t has become in- creaSingly evident that John and Jane Public are disgusted with the divorce rate that prevails in show business" The disgust is now being expressed in demands for the boy cotting of films in which too-fre- quently-divorced stars are featured. I'm wondering If the treatment of Jolson's life story isn't one of the first results.

 that, I had to work my way through junior college In fact. don't mean I'm ashamed of that, but I-I man.
 It sounded 50 lame as to be em- barrasslig. Why was she allowing this woman to annoy her2 But she didn't answer her own question; she only knew that Leana Sormi had re- awakened in her vague but posi- tive fear. Fear of the unknown; an imperative, urgent sense of alarm. THE two hours ride dragged like
 two centuries. Leana kept up her astonishing conversation. Arty; highbrow talk, not. quite posey but definitely superior, draw ing constantly if uniabeled contrast between her own distinguished achievements and Carolyn's ineager education and career.
 When the trip was ever and they were back at their little vile lage stables again, they separated with a certain forced merriment. Carolyn walked straight home. It was after 5 o'clock, she noted. Her mother was mixing a chocolate cake, and oddly, 1t didn't interest Carolyn. who also loved to cook. She just sat and stared at the floor for 20 minutes or SO and was surprised again when Leana Sor- niI called her from out front. She went to the porch. Leana was still on her horse.
 "Oh. Miss Tyler" Leana began, Robert asked me to bring a con- fldential message. He wants you to meet him In the tunnel at 6 o'clock, please. It seemed to be important"
 Carolyn was mildly surprised "At--0?"
 Leana nodded. "Yes. He thought 1t best to meet there while most of the village Is at the dinner hour" Leana spoke significantly. You understand. At the - sub- stance. think shall ride a bit more myself. Another time we can 90 together, mayhel"
 The older girl rode away. When Carolyn had changed from her riding clothes she started to walk down to the trail and around the bend that led to the Tonto Moun- tain tunnel. She was curious. She looked for Bob but didn't see him, so probably he had already gone in.
 From across 6 canyon Leana watched Carolyn depart. She noted the exact time on her wrist watch. Then she rode her horse on around Mummy Ridge out of sight.
 After exactly % minutes she pressed switch on the transmit ter she had concealed.

ON four different occasions Le- " ana sorEnl had tclooked the time necessary to walk from the Tyler cottage, down trall, around the curving railroad track and into the old mine shaft to the X-e0e. z It varied only from lo to 26 min- sutes. t yss 5,s8n ast5 fesrgs...
 she had, therefore, only to set an arbitrary hour for Carolyn to be inside the shaft. Then she could time herself accordingly, and be at her prepared station on the far side of Mummy Ridge.
 She knew that her concealed receiver-generator, wired to set of the dynamite cap,. was ex- tremely sensitive. Her transmit- ter on Mummy Ridge would reach 1t easily, even through the rock and soil of Tonto Mountain.
 This time she had no accom- plices. no one but herself to trust. The perfection of the plan gave Leana double satisfaction.
 First, 1t would completely re- move that annoying stenographer from the scene, she who had SO brazenly intruded upon Leana's and Bob's affairs.
 Second, 1t would punish" Rob- ert for neglecting her, by destroy ing the x-9e9 which he had worked SO long to produce.
 She was so pleased with her. self on this appointed day of vic- tory that she had accepted Ro- bert's impulsive invitation to ride horseback with him and Carolyn.
 Why not 90? Why notl It would be her hour of triumph over the stupid, unsuspecting Tyler girl!
 In preparation, Leana spent al- most an hour dressing. Perfect ing her hair, she saw that 1t was literally the spun gold of the love- story heroines. She posed before her rairror--undeniably she pos. sessed form and grace. She leaned closer = her eyes were an alluring gray-blue. Only her cheeks and lips annoyed her. The cheeks were too high, like the Indian cooks, and the lips were defl. nitely large and coarse.
 Angrily, she knew she could do nothing about either. She hastened to don most becoming riding costume.
 CAROLYN experienced e moment A of panic when Leana joined them. That Leana had come at all, or that Bob had even asked her, was distinct surprise.
 How do you DO2' Leana greeted her with astonishing heart- iness. It was as If they had been old acquaintances, meeting again after months of separation,
 You look so nicel" Carolyn ventured, and meant 1t.
 But not nearly as sweet and dainty as you. Isn't she the loveli- est thing, Robert, dear?"
 Robert, dear, 1t developed, was quite in agreement. Tn truth he was delighted that the two girls were so companionable. He rec called now that they hadn't culti- vated much of 6 friendship as yet T could make thousands of men Jealous this afternoon" he said. u
 Goodness, Bobl" Carolyn was nervous, but pleased.
 'Dr. Hale is gallant" Leana supplied. But tell me more about yourself, Miss Tyler. Do you have scientific leanings also? Or have you been trained more extensively In the line arts2" She spoke loftily.
 Carolyn tried not to show that she was i'll at ease, "Oh, no. I did go through college. Junior college, l mean. But I-I had to work after

 Hearing Set For Tuesday

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 17.-(UP)- Party leaders in the House an- nounced today there will be pulp lie hearing next Tuesday on a bill to renew the governors wartime emergency authority to suspend laws which, ill his opinion, inter- fere with the war effort.
 The authority originally was giv- en the governor during the 1943 session, and it expires Feb. l. The General Assembly has been asked for a renewal for two years.
 Reps. Herbert Wanderer, R. Bethel and Philip Sullivan, D, Enfield, said at a press conference that they knew of no organized opposition to the proposal.
 Wanderer said he thought it in- advisable tthis time to refugse the renewal and leave the legislature with the alternative of amending jaws to accomplish the same pur- pose.
 A public hearinug also was sched- uled for next week on the major judgeship resolutions of the gov ernor involving reappointments to the supreme, superior, common pleas and juvenile courts. This will be the first time such hear ing will be held on the nominations Heretofore they have been taken up directly by the Senate and House after being reported out by the committee on executive nominations.

Pearl Harbor, Jan. 17-(UP)-B- 29 Superfortresses bombed military installations on Formosa in daylight today after carrier planes wrecked. at least 30 and perhaps 100 or moro Japanese ships off that island bas- tion and the China coast in three day assault.

One dropped bombs on Nagoya about 2 p m. last night, a second was over Kyoto about 1l:30 p. m. and third over Slllzuoka, Nagnno and KanGo about 4 a. h., the Japanese said.)
 It was possible that planes of Adm. William F. Halsey'3 Tbird fleet extended their attacks on the China coast area into fourth day in conjunction with the B-29 raid. Both Superfortresses and carrier planes attacked FormoSa last Sunday and on Jan. g.

May Bill Has
 FDR' R'sSupport
By DEAN w. DITTMER

Washington, Jan. IT - (U.P) - Congress awaited President RooSe- velt's promised message on national service legislation today with ex- pectations that it would call for im- mediate passage of the pending May Bill to put all IS to 45 year men on 8 work fight basis.
 The President told his news con- ference late yesterday that the message probably would reach con- gress today. While he did not speci- fly the exact type of legislation he had in mind, Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky, of the House Military c-HAGrs Committee, said the Pres 8ent favored his work -or-fight bill as preliminary to full national service by both labor and industry, felt that the May bill stood a bet ter chance of passage than a full national service bill at this time.
 Mays bill would force every man between the ages of IS and 45, in- cluding 4-Fs, to get in a war job or stay in the one he has under penalty of induction into special la Dor battalions. National service would reach men in still higher brackets and, in the most drastic form, apply to women as well.
 It was understood that MT. Roose- velt'S message would take the form of letter addressed to May. It will be accompanied by urgent appeals

Maxi Thrust
 Extends War 1-6 Months
BY BOYD D. LEWIS

Paris, January IT. UP) -' Adolf HitlerS desperate thrust into, the Ardennes failed in all its majol objectives. but it chewed up Ameri.' car men, armor and supplies that had been massed for an offensive of their own and prolonged the war from one to six months.
 This sober judgment of the Ger man offensive is based on informa- ton obtained from reliable sources while covering three army fronts the Seventh, First and Ninth, during the month following Ger man Marshal Karl Von Rundstedt's breakthrough.
 To weight the results, Hitler's aims first must be considered.
 A cauptured member of Hitler's escort guard said the Fuehrer ad- dressed a conference of army gen. erals including Won Rundstedt December 3, and called for his forces to reach the Mouse river in three days and Antwerp in three weeks.
 The capture of Antwerp, Hitler said, would cut off 38 Allied divis. ions north of the breakthrough area and deal death blow to the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force. He even hoped one of the Allies would be knocked out of the European war.
 Rundstedt was to smash through with such terrific speed that vast Allied gasoline and supply dumps would be overrun, enabling the Ger mans to feed off their booty Liege and Namur were to fall like ripe plums, and the race northwest to Antwerp was to be aided in its final phase by a coupe de grace delivered from northern Holland, where forces drained off from Norway and other sources were massed.
 The offensive was halted by the American 2nd Armored Division three miles from the Mouse. There Rundsted's men, unable to capture supply dumps east Of the
