Warning

Here's another warning against success
bred r-confdence.
Despite the highly favorable headlines Of
the past week, they do not necessarily NEAR
that victory in Europe is just around the
corner or that we will reach it by a royal
route.
I'VE ought to recognize this from the fierce
distance the Muscovites are encounter1ng
among the defenses of the Oder River, and
from the hard going the western Allies are
+. ding in the inhospitable, water-logged Win
ter terrain of the Rhineland. The Germans
are giving ground, and their resources in
manpower and materiel are far from succi-
ficne to carry on indefinitely - but there
bloody warfare ahead of u.s." Dewitt Mac
kenzie, Associated Press war analyst, said
yesterday
Friday we discussed the possibility of the
Big Three calling on the German people to de-
sert Hitler. This naturally would involve the
question of his hold on the public, and apropos
OF this have here some striking observations
by Veritas, British official military common
tator," Mr.. Mackenzie continued
Developing the thesis that the end won'1
he either sudden or soon,' Veritas points out
that the plot to overthrow Hitler last summer
provided Gestapo Chief Himmler-who now
is in military control of the country-wlth the
opportunity for which he had been waiting.
Since then terrible bloodbaths have been con-
tinuously in progress, and the victims have
been drawn from all walks of life He con-
tinues:
'sHoW many thousands have been murdered
may never be known. It has been learned from
reliable sources that no less than thirty in
dividuals are still being executed daily at
Dortmund, and comparable toll is evidently
being taken in many other German cities Even
m anonymous denunciation to the effect that a
person has expressed doubt as to the posi-
bility of Germanys winning the was is sufficl-
ent to send the accused to the execution
squads.
1T would be misunderstanding the situa.
ton to interpret this fearful massacre to the
frantic efforts of a gang of desperadoes tc
terrorize a FESTIVE population on the verge
of revolt. It is calculated policy to eliminate
every group and every individual who NIGH
be disposed to prefer surrender to accepting
the devastation of the country as the price
for fight to the last man.
There is considerable and very trust
Worthy body of evidence to show that the
great mass of the German people now agret
with Nazi propaganda that, since the surrende
and total defeat alike involve the destruction
of Germany, it is better to go on fighting ant

R-Tankers are brave men.
Pvt. Cecil Pickett of Johnstown,
Ia, always will remember the first
battle he fought with the Second
Armored division. A replacement
in the division, he was riding in
a tank cockpit when the driver
was killed. Though wounded, Pick
EFT took over and backed the tank
for 1000 yards until he got it under
cover.
Sgt. Willkie C. Cowboy" Bray
eten of Cody, Wyo., did not stop
his tank until the fifth 88-millime-
ter shell to strike it knocked off
the track and then he went another
100 yards on the DOGGY wheels.
After he jumped out, another en-
envy shot crashed through the tur-

ANOTHER POPS
 CONCERT COMING
Hear the Orchestra Give a Salute 10 the Armed
 Forces

Strauss, Shostakovich, Ketelby, Romberg and Kreisler are few of the composers names that will ap- pear on the program for the Pops concert Sunday night, Aug. 5, at the Hamilton park pavilion. Mario DiCecco again directs the Civic or chestra of Waterbury in one of the concerts that have become so pop ular in the city. Encores will fol- low the regular numbers. The Park department is cooperating with the orchestra in the summer concerts.
 Inside the pavilion there is in formal table seating. Tickets may also be secured for outside seats. IntermissionS will be frequent, when refreshments are served and smok- ing in order.
 The type of music selected by MT. DiCecco has been greatly en- joyed, and is the talk of the town. Music every two weeks at Hamilton park is now custom.
 Begin the Beguine next Sunday night with Mario DiCecco and the band and hear Cole Porter's favorite, and the martial Salute To Our Armed Forces" which sounds like the prize musical package. The concert starts at o'clock.

BEAUTIES HINTS Use Dark Powder
 For Touch-ups
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Use a darker powder for touch ups than you use when you make up at the beginning of sizzling day, and you'll look as fresh. as rain, no matter what the thermom- eter says.
 "The reason why," actress-en- tertainer Gigi Gilpin told me after a recent Blind Date" guest-star radio appearance she learned this one touring the China Burma India circuit - lis that your original makeup is darkened by oils and moisture brought out by the heat"
 If the powder that you re-apply is keyed to the shade which chem istry has perceptibly deepened, your makeup will look fresher and your face cleaner, says the girl who had plenty of chances to test her trick.
 While trying to outwit the heat of India, Gigi also learned that a lipstick coat is much less apt to break out in tiny spikes of color if girl powders her mouth before she rouges it.

Carols" An actor has his job to do and that's that.
 I'm sure Betty's the same way. We both admit she's not the worlds greatest actress. But she's got the application-and those years of kicking around on Broad- way, flop-shows and all that-have sharpened her up.
 That's why she came over the way she did in 'To Have and Have Not" That's why she's taken all this commotion about her, the in- terviews and the magazine coverss and our marriage and everything, without letting it throw her, like it would a lot of new kids out here.
 SOFT LIFE!
 I guess the only time I've really seen her in a stew was the other night in our new house we've just moved into. Things were just be- ginning to settle down for us. But at l a. m. our servant awoke us frantically with the news that our living room and bar was floodedl A pipe had burst; the furniture and rugs were awash, afloat in two feet of water. We baled and swept till daylight. When it was all over, we had good laugh out of it--- and then got into our cars and drove out to Warner Bros for that a. m. "call"l Soft life for us actors, eh Junior?
 She doesn't like night clubs very much. We occasionally "do" Mo- cambo and when we do the auto- graph kids swarm around her and I've noticed-it takes her a littls longer than me to sign their books. That's because she gives 1t the full treatment: Lauren BacalI Bogart." But I guess I can't squawk about THAT. It's pretty nice, as a matter of fact.

POLl'S

Playing today and tomorrow at the Loew-Poli theater is the new technicolor hit Mob Hill'', with George Raft, Joan Bennett, Vivian Blaine and Peggy Ann Garner head ing the brilliant star-studded cast. Set against the gaudy gaiety of the Barbary Coast at the turn of the century, when girls kicked highest, fists crashed hardest and blood ran hottest, the spectacular drama with music is packed with the excitement and thrills of action that's tough and love that's rough.
 The co-feature on this program is the murder mystery Fog Island with Lionel Atwill.
 Starting Wednesday at the LoeW- Poli theater is the new technicolor musical treat, Thrill of Romance which stars Van Johnson, probably the most popular young star in Hol- lywood today, and lovely Esther Williams.
 Johnson, who achieved stardom for his work in Two Girls and A Sails." and Thirty Seconds over Tokyo" plays an Army flyer on leave after service in the South Pa cific. Miss Williams, star of Bath ing Beauty, is seen as girl who marries stuffed-shirt millionaire who leaves her on their wedding day to fly to Washington to put over a big business deal. And along comes Van!
 A fine supporting cast includes Henry Travers, Spring Byington Carleton Young, Frances Clifford Vince Barnett, Lauritz Melcholr, the Metropolitan Opera tenor, W h makes his film debut in the picture and Tommy Dorsey and his orches-

tra who provides grand music, both sweet and hot, to satisfy one and all.
 With beautiful Yosemite National Park as background for many of the scenes, Thrills of Romance produces a new thrill in color photo graphy. The entire cast, including Johnson, Miss Williams and Met ropolitan Opera star Lauritz Mel chior, spent week at Yosemite for scenes in the Redwoods and at var ious scenic points of the beautiful valley. Camermen took every ad- vantage of this setting and Pro- ducer Pasternak believes Yosemite has rarely been so beautiful pho- tographed Colorful swimming se- auences featuring comedy Esther Williams also highlight this movie.

 Never day goes by that a woman isn't aware of exactly how many children she has to feed. clothe, check up on, and get oil to school. A man might go oil to war and grow hay about all the little darlings he left at home, but Mama is still on the job. There IS never a moment in the day when she can be vague about how many small fry there are around the house.
 If the sailor had stopped to think about that, he never would have argued with Mama about the mum Der of children the two ot them had brought into the world.
 He wouldn't even have considered she might be wrong if he had re- membered one thing. Any woman today is perfectly certain about the number of ration books she mas:

all manpower shortage, and
what is needed is individual adj
justment of specific situations
which have arisen from the mis-
use Of manpower, rather than
the lack of it," Eubanks pointed
out.
The present labor draft bill
provides that workers drafted
for war industry shall not be
required to join labor unions,
even though closed shop agree
ments might be in effect. Eu-
banks stated that this provision
shows that "the proposed labor
draft is merely a thinly dis
