BETTY GRABLE IN MUSICAL COMEDY
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Surest cure for the blues IS the new 20th Century-Fox Technicolor musical comedy starring Betty Grable, Robert Young and Adolphe Meniou which is due to open to- night at the 20th Century Theatre. The, happy tunes, the clever story, the gorgeous Betty-all go into mak- ing this film special extra.
 Betty is seen as beautiful en- tertainer in the good old days Re- turning to this country after spec tacular success in London she is outraged to learn that wound re- porter on the Police Gazette has been chronicling her doings with anything but a tender pen.
 Being brainy as well as beauti- full, she conceives the idea of mak- ing him take good stiff dose of what he is prescribing. With the re- suit that many hilarious comedy scenes result for the further delight of the audience.
 Mack Gordon and Harry Warren penned the hit tunes for this film. Elaborate dance routines were work ed out by Hermes Pan.

Britain s Foreign Secretary
 Fears Hunger, Privd- lion in Europe

LONDON, Oct. 27-Foreign Sec retary Bevin declared in a House of Commons debate today that hunger and privation in Europe may bring "a further prolific loss of human life more devastating than the gun or the atomic bomb"
 Warning of the danger of a terrible epidemic" this winter in Europe, Bevin commented that if the United States Congress failed to grant the additional $500, ,000,- 0G0 fund for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Admins tration "UNRRA will be broke and the situation we will have to face in the few weeks time will be dis aStrouS."
 He said, however, he could not discuss UNRRA further because the appropriation was the subject of a debate in Congress.
 Bevin said conditions in devas- tated Europe resulted from policy Hitler imposed. When the Nazis discovered they could not win the war, Bevin said, they decided to leave Europe in a state of com plete anarchy"
 We had studied the situation for months and when we saw what had happened, we had to alter our plans and revise the system,' Beyin continued.
 He described the Germany left by Hitler as a country with no organization at all"
 He said Great Britain alone could do very little" to relieve conditions in Europe.

A wave of activity looking toward
the return of vacation travel to
Bermuda is gathering momentum
with hotels, guest houses, beach
clubs and other tourist centers STEP
ping up preparations for normal
times.
We day has already brought
relaxation in travel restrictions to
these coral islands. Although citi-
zens of the United States must still
obtain passports, Americans who
own property in the colony can now
come to Bermuda to look after their
estates, which have been closed
since 1912. About $50 Americans
own homes in this land of horses,
carriages and bicycles.
More travel to Bermuda for busi-
ness reasons, restricted to min
imum during the war with Ger
many, is also being allowed under
the new passport policy No word
has yet been received by the United
States Army and Navy here, how
ever, regarding permission for serv-
icemen's wives to come to the
islands.

Democratic Spokesman For
Unconditional Surrender

New York City QLNS).-Algernon
Lee, national chairman of the Social
Democratic Federation has made pub
lie statement taking issue with Nor
man Thomas, Socialist leader, on the
question of unconditional surrender
of Germany and Japan. Lee asserted
that abandonment Of the demand for
the unconditional surrender of Ger
many, as urged by Thomas, would be
TO abandon the essential purpose of
the United Nations in fighting the
war.
'"That purpose is to destroy the
Nazi government, root and branch" !"
Lee said. "The only possible alter
native TO unconditional surrender
would be a cessation of hostiities on
terms agreed upon in negotiations
with the present rulers of Germany.
The Nazis would, of course, name as
the first condition acceptable to them
assurance that they and their accom-
plices would not be punished as war
criminals"
Lees statement was authorized by
the executive committee of the fed
Grafton, which broke away from the
Socialist party in 1886.
