DOUBLE FEATURE
BILL AT CAPITOL
DURING WEEKEND

Mary Lee, Republics diminutive
young singing actress, has two song
numbers in the studios comedy
drama, Three Little Sisters, one of
the two features at the Capitol
Theatre this weekend.
In the screenplay of three sisters
whose romantic day dreams lead into
riot of trouble, Miss Lee sings
Don't Forget the Girls Back Home, /"
and Little Old Fashioned Looking
Glass"
Ruth Terry and Cheryl Walker
share top roles with Miss Lee and
the leading masculine roles are TAX
en- by William Terry, Jackie Nor
an and Frank jerks.
A novel situation developed during
the production of Universaps "Aller-
gic to Love-" laugh-provoking COM
edy to be seen as the other feature
at the Capitol. The diverting film
unfolds the plight of a bride who
finds herself the victim of some
strange sneezing affliction apparent
ly kindled by her husbands proxim-
ity.
Martha O'Driscoll plays the bride
with Noah Berry, Jr., as the hus-
band and David Bruce as the hus-
bans chum, who gets into every
body's bad graces by his endeavors
TO solve the newlyweds' troubles.

Second. establishment of Ger
man sovereignty through the occu-
patton of the Rhineland and the
creation of Notifications system.
Third, immediate annexation OF
Austria, crushing of Czechoslovakia
and ultimate crushing of Poland in
order to bring Germany, territor-
tally, in a position for effective de-
Tense
These were the essential prelim-
inaries for the war of the future.
There is not only military prepara-
ton, there also is territorial prep
aration for big war and in this
respect we with limited space were
very badly off.
IF the course we then proposed
to take should lead to big war, y
Hitler continued, without specifying
what that course was, obviously
war would have to be accepted. Be-
cause it was better to accept it then
in moment when We were super
latively prepared than at some other
moment in which this advantage
might have been lost. That one
can not avoid war by refraining from
striking was demonstrated by World
War One"
Hitler worked up to these admis-
sions after telling the officers he
mad considered himself Germany's
greatest opportunity for perhaps the
next half century to acquire safe
guards"

new AUTOS TO BE
TURNED OUT, But
DON'T GET EXCITED

DETROIT, May Is - America s
automobile industry sped plans to-
day for its gradual return to car
making, strictly a lowgear propo-
sition for the time being.
After more than three years of
total effort in the war, the indus
try had the War Production Boards
authority to produce 100000 pas
senger cars this year.
The WPB granted the authorize
ton yesterday but stipulated that
the industry must find its own ma
terials in the free market" and
that no materials priority would be
given.
Manufacturers may place orders
Immediately for materials, with de-
livery not to be made until after
July l, and it was expected that
few new cars would roll off the
assembly lines before October l.
In view of restrictions, the gen.
eral buying public is likely to
have to wait many more months
before new cars will be available.

Admiral Barbey. or Z or a n q,
Greg, and Washington remembered
that night as he watched the tre-
mendous array of power for today's
landing.
Standing on the bridge of this
flagship, Uncle Dan" proudly re-
counted the box score of his am
phibious force during the two-year
advance from the eastern tip of
New Guinea through the Philip
pines and now at Borneo.
The 7th Amphibious has now
completed SO landings-all of them
equal to or larger than Tarawa. A
total of 1,o76,000 men have been
put ashore.
Admiral Barbley said losses have
been "very modest for the results
achieved, both in ships and men. "
The operations include the Lingayen
landing, one of the largest am
phibious operations in military his
tory.
In the initial Woodlark operation,
% ships protected by only de-
stroyers slipped into the beach at
night, risking mines in order to
maintain the surprise element
They unloaded and departed before
dawn and then returned the fol-
lowin night with additional men.
200 Ships Used Now.
Today, over 200 ships are assem-
bled off the landing beach in broad
daylight, under the intensive sup
porting fire of warships and planes.
The japanese we're forewarned 16
days by minesweeping activities,
aerial and surface attacks"
The lessons and CANDLES of those
early days, Admiral Barley said,
provided the basic tactics for what
has become a familiar but still an
intricate maneuver. The operational
plans for each landing are so COM
plex that they are thicker than
New York telephone directory.
"In the beginning, we we're under
continued Japanese aerial attack.
So we had to develop technique OF
landing our men quickly and then
pulling out fast in order to mini
mize losses.
Rocket Boats End Snipers.
The answer was to carry infantry
men in LISTS Qanding ship tanks
and LCIs Qanding craft Infantry
which ran up on the beach for
speedy unloading-a technique pc
culiar to this theater, in the Pacific" :"
Gradually the 7th acquired more
warcraft for support fire. But jap
anese snipers strapped to coconut
trees rode out the bombardments
and then inflicted considerable
losses to landing infantrymen. So
Admiral Barley and his staff of
officers borrowed some new Army
rockets and experimental to obtain
an umbrellalike shelfire, capable
of eliminating tree men. From that
developed the awesome rocket boats
which now are used extensively in
the Southwest and Central Pacific.
