Musical
At Michigan

IF BRING ON THE GIRLS"
doesn't bring out the customers
we miss our guess for the movie
musical which opened at the
Michigan yesterday is one OF the
merriest in months.
This time Eddie Bracken and
Sonny Tufts are partners in all
the fun that transpires when the
scion of a wealthy family joins
the navy to see what the world
thinks of him, rather than his
bank account. Bracken is the poor
little rich boy and Tufts is the
bodyguard that Bracken's law
yers set to watch this poor little
rich sailor.
Bracken. who is always a fall
guy for cutie, gets all smoked
up about a cigaret girl, Veronica
Lake, who really knows who he is.
But thinking she is Chesterfield
Girl with a heart of Old Colds,
Bracken gets engaged.
MISTAKEN IDENTITY
This happens to be all right
with Tufts, because he thinks his
charge is engaged 10 the star OF
the show, one of those wealthy
girls. who Just sings for her sup
per and gives the rest to charity.
Only Tufts, of course. could get
a cigaret girl confused with a
debutante, but he does il so thor
oughly that it takes several reels
TO straighten things out and to
break the engagement.
This time. however. Bracken is
not diSillusioned because the nice
girl, Marjorie Reynolds, goes for
him and Veronica Lakes gives up
her gold digging habits for Sonny.
It's the type of comedy confu-
sion that Tufts and Crosby ran
into when they met up with Betty
Hutton being two sisters in the
last film of this sort, but it does
supply enough material upon
which to hang some very funny
gags and engineer some idiotic
situations.
Veronica Lake looks stunning
in Technicolor and the lineup Of
girls is one of the most attractive
we've seen in a Hollywood mu-
sical in some time.
SLICKERs ARE SLICK
Both Bracken and Tufts have
their regular assignments, each
playing dumb in his own particu-
lar fashion, so that it's no wonder
when a shapely sharpey like We
ronica gets on the scene, practic-
ally all is lost.
There are very clever musical
numbers, among the best of which
is You Mover Right In"
Spike Jones and his City
Slickers add fairly wacky note
to the proceedings. but the super
speciality of the piece is Johnny

'Thunderhead'
At Fox

II YOU like 10 stay indoors
and admire the great outdoors,
then "Thund er h g d-Son of
Flicka," which opened at the Fox
yesterday is just your dish.
1t is film of tremendous
scenic scope which will literally
give you a two-hour vacation in
the great open spaces, whether
you're interested in the horse
play" or not.
A sequel TO my Friend Flicka," :"
we find Roddy MacDowall, much
older young man, being enthu-
siastic about Flicka's colt, pure
white animal.
HORSE HAREM
Since they can't account for the
colts color, the idea is that 1t is
throw-back to The Albino," a
pure-white stallion who Toams the
wilderness at large and evidently
rules some kind of harem of
runaway mares.
But Roddy is convinced that he
has a great race horse and begs
his father to let him raise and
train him. This turns out to be a
greater task than the boy had
bargained for, because there is a
streak of the wild beast in 'Thun-
derhead" and even when he seems
most docile, breaks out in rebel
lion to being managed.
Roddy does get his great white
stallion entered In a county talr
race, but just as he is at the
point of winning, il starts running
in the other direction, like the
ones we usually bet on.
SCENIC WONDER
Back at the ranch. they find
that THE Albino" has reared his
fl0sy name again and Roddy with
his father, Preston Foster, and
two hands, start out on a search
for the wild interloper.
This search, incidentally, repre-
sents one of the most beautiful
sequences we've seen in a west
ern picture. gorgeous canyons,
lofty waterfalls, meadows, lakes
and forests. all appear in stunning
color.
The climax comes when Thun-
derhead finds The Albino" and
kills him, leaving Roddy's father
to take back his lost herd.
There isn't too much plot and
most Of the performances, even
by Rita Johnson and MacDowall
are pretty static. but you will
undoubtedly succumb to the ap-
peal Of its Photographic beauty.

D. {. Sergeant Hits
Beach Below Naha

ON OROKU PENINSULA, June 4
Oelaye0 Among the first Ma
rines to hit the beach here today was
First Sergt. James o. Souders, 24le
G street NV, Washington, D. C
The veteran 4th Regiment had
expected easy going on the penin-
sula of Okinawa's west coast below
Naha, but the Marines were sur
prised at the scant opposition on
the beachhead.
When we hit the beach we found
Marines walking around without
their helmets. One was reading a
pocket edition of Mrs. Miniver" and
casually remarked that the going
was lot better than we expected
AS soon as the Marines established
a beachhead of 300 yards they held
up to await the arrival of tanks
The first landing was made with
some difficulty, due to reefs which
stretched out into the sea for 200
yards or more.
Sergt. Souders Is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Guthrie H. Souders and
has been in the Marine Corps for II
years. He was graduated from high
school at Falls Church before en-

sprayed by an Army plane las,
night. The plane laid down cov-
ering of DDT at the ratio of five
pounds of the potent chemical in ar
oil solution to the acre. This is about
the highest concentration that
would be used commercially.
Withholding other comment or
the experiment until after the first
effects can be noted, possibly within
three or four days, scientists ex-
pressed the fear yesterday that a
rather high bird mortality rate
might result.
Scientists explained that the ex-
pertinent was timed for the nesting
season so that DDT's effects on
young birds could be determined
Elaborate traps have been prepared
in the Patuxent River, which passes
through the test area, to determine
how the chemical will affect fish
and how far the effects may be
noted.
The results of the experiment
scientists say, will serve as q valu-
able guide in the peacetime civilian
use of DDT.

Foes Of Tariff S|ashes
Appear 10 Have Edge
As Senate Fight Nears
BY ]. A. OIEARY.

Foes of further tariff cuts after
the war appeared today to be hold
ing on to a two or three vote margin
against the additional rate-reducing
power in the administration trade
agreement bill, as Senate Finance
Committee action on the bill was
postponed until Friday or Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Breton Woods
world monetary plan-a related
phase of administration foreign pol
tcy-was moving toward overWhelm-
ing passage in the House tomorrow
In another letter to the House
membership, President Truman yes
terday afternoon expressed hope
that the craftsmanship and nom
-partisanship" shown in the House
Banking Committee on the Breton
Woods bill will become the pattern
for American participation in inter-
national economic and security CO.
operation"
Senate Opposition Firm.
In the Senate, however, there were
no signs of a letup in the fight
against broadening the reciprocal
trade program to stimulate foreign
trade as one means of continuing
full employment after the war.
When the Finance Committee
ended hearings late yesterday, in
formal polls still indicated two or
three of the IL Democrats on the
committee would vote to strike out
the Presidents authority to apply
the so per cent cut in tariffs to the
1945, instead of the 1880. rates. With
q total committee membership of
81, switch of two Democrats would
force revision of the bill.
The House already has approved
the broader tariff cutting provision,
30 that if the Senate should reject
1t, the difference between the two
houses would have to be settled in
conference At that point COM
promise probably would be the
result.
Senate May Demand Voice.
In addition to the fight over rates,
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming is prepared to lead fight
on the Senate floor to require con-
gressional approval of each trade
pact before it could take effect.
One of the last witnesses before
the committee in favor of the trade
agreement bill without amendment
was Charles P. Taft, a foreign trade
official of the State Department and
brother of Senator Taft, Republi-
can, of Ohio, member of the COM
mittee. A debate between the Taft
brothers did not develop, however,
as the Senator did not attend the
afternoon session.
During House debate on the Bret |
ton Woods plan, Representative
Wolcott. Republican, of Michigan,
announced he would sintroduce a |
bill later to expand the Export-Im-
port Bank capital from s700,000.-
