Another newspaper item, dis

The packages, taken to the police

released from May /, 1914, to April
30, l945, it was announced last night
by Luther H. Evans, acting librarian
of Congress. Seven were picked for
outstanding performances.
The board of four reviewers was
commissioned to pick the pictures
for the purpose of preserving those
which most faithfully record in
one way or another the contemp-
orary life and tastes and preferences
OF the American people"
The reviewers, Barbara Deming,
Llama Richter, Norbert Lusk and
Philip Hartung, examined 421 fea-
lures, 422 shorts and $40 newsreels.
Discussing the seven films con-
tanning outstanding performances,
the librarian said each possessed
"other distinguished qualities as
we'll" They were: National Velvet,
Going My Way, Meet Me in st.
Louis, Two Girls and a Sailor, Will
son, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and
None But the Lonely Heart.
Although None But the Lonely
Heart was nominated by the Ma
tional Board of Review as the best
drama of 1914, and although the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences gave Ethel Barrymore
its award for the best performance
by supporting actress, the library's
reviewers point out that the film
was the years most distinguished
and dignif1ed failure at the box Of
fice," Mr.. Evans said.
Meet Me in St. Louis, an example
of the lavish musical in technicolor,
the report said, was outstanding
also because of the performance of
Margaret O'Brien, who received the

Intense antiaircraft fire at Osaka
and bad flying weather en- route to

The device, two paint bucket sized
cylinders linked by a 9-foot chain,
was dropped by the enemy airmen
with the apparent intention that it
should explode on contact with the
bombers or foul their propellers.
