u;+h tho twelfth observance Of National Mari
time Day today, it once again becomes this country
nriveoe to salute the men and women who build and
soil our merchant ships
The wartime story Of the United Stotes Mer-
chant Marine is one Of magnificent contribution
to victory 1t becomes perhaps even more inspiring IN
RETROSPECT as we look back upon the dangerous IN
odeouocy of our merchant fleet at the time OF Pearl
Horbor and remember the submarine and Plone-
infested waters which for so long complicated the
tremendous task Of supplying the fronts beyond two
oceans.
Since December of o4l our shipyords have built
more than 1000 cargo ships and have increased the
American merchant fleets lightweight tonnage more
than fve-fod Today this fleet is carrying war ma
teroIs at the rote Of 5000 tons hour, every hour
Of the day and every day Of the year.
It is this fleet which is now tookling what will
certainly be the greatest job of its kind in history
the shipping or tronsshippne from this country and
Britain Of supplies for an armed force Of perhaps
100000 men in the Pacific theoter-neorIy 1000
miles from San Francisco $4,000 miles from Eng
land by way Of Panama, and II 500 from England
throuoh the Suez Canal.
And it is this fleet thot will make u.s. at the end
Of the war, the worlds greatest maritime power. In
1899 the United Stotes ranked second to Greet Brit
ain with about 900 900 lightweight tons Of ship
pinq We now have more than two-thirds Of the
worlds prewor tonnage Of 100000

increasing the strength of the initial assault wave in OVER LORD"
 The search for greater resources for OVERLORD continued until it seemed that the time and energy of the Allied commanders was almost completely abSorbed by a problem that defied solution. We had gone to the shipping experts and the shipyard owners to urge them to bend greater than human efforts to step-up the output of their precious landing craft. The stpyards broke all records to meet our requirements but there still were not enough landing craft in sight,
 After intensive calculations which taxed the endurance of the military and naval planners, two major decisions were made. The | target date of invasion was ad- vanced from early May to early June, even though this pushed us closer to the time when weather conditions would turn against us. The operations in Southern France, which were originally to be made simultaneously with the attack on Normandy were delayed months so that landing craft could be used first in the Channel, then rushed to the Mediterranean to do double duty both in OVERLORD and ANVIL.

an unwanted part. Frequently, I hear Hollywood side-liners ask how stars dare to sage revolts and defy the mandates of their bosses. The answer is easy. They always win. In fact, of the scores of top-fiight play CTS who have indulged in feuds with their studios, I can recall only two who were forced, eventually, to knuckle under and accept their em- ployers terms. Hollywood producers like to talk big" but they're all so convinced that star names alone guarantee profits, that they'll yield anything within reason rather than offend their pampered stars AS result, players need very little cour- age to dare" their wrath.
 Speaking of stars, and their im- portance, please note the terms of Clark Gables new contract with Metro GoldWyn-Mayer - $7,000 a week PLUS fat percentage of the profits earned by his pictures On hearing that, I automatically re- called day, nearly 15 years ago, when l interviewed the neWly-ar- rived MT. Gable. Acting is no pro- fession for a he-man," he told me scornfully. I'm in it to make a staKe-and you can bet I'll get out of it as soon as I have $100,00O to the good!" A mans perspectives are apt to change, and it seems that Gables have. A half-a-million a year would n't be too far-fetched an estimate of his annual earnings under his new deal.
 
 A cOlumnist, in writing about Gloria Vanderbilt and Leopold Sto- koWski, referred to the maestro as ''the aging Stokowski." It seems to | me like that's taking an unfair ad- vantage. It's true that Gloria is still in her early twenties and that her husband is admittedly 54. But after all, she's aging too.

success of these operations could be made much more certain by an amphibious landing in the Bay Of Ben"al, but there were not suffl- cienU landing craft to insure the success of our European offensive and at the same time undertake a landing on the shores of Burma.
 Victory in this global war de- pended on the successful execution of OVERLORD. That must not fail Yet the Japanese could not be permitted meanwhile to en- trench in their stolen empire, and China must not be allowed to fall victim to further Japanese as saults. Allied resources were searched through again and again, and strategy reconSidered in the light of the deficiencies. These conclusions seemed unacceptable: France must be invaded in 1944, to shorten the war by facilitating the advance westward of the Soviet forces. At the same time German technological advances such as in the development of atomic explosives made it impera- tive that we attack before these terrible weapons could be turned against us. In addition, the pres sure on the Japanese in the Pa cif!c must not be relaxed. Com munications with China must be reopened. Resources were allo- cated accordingly. The balance was extremely delicate but we had to go ahead
 Eisenhower Recieves Instructions
 When General Eisenhower was selected as the Supreme Con- mander for OVERLORD after the resumption of the conference at Cairo in December, he received this directive:
 "You will enter the continent of Europe and in conjunction with the other Allied Nations, under take operations aimed at the heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed forces"
 Accompanied by his Deputy Commander, Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder, General Eisen- hover arrived in Britain in mid- January. Almost immed!atily he wrote:
 It is obvious that strong and positive action is needed here in several directions. The location of various headquarters. the exact pattern of command, the tactics of the assault and the strength in units and equipment, are all ques- tions that have not yet been def1- nitely settled. The most important of all these questions it that of

STRAND

It was the toss of coin that made Signe Hasso an actress, and started her on theatrical career at the age of eleven.
 Since then she has given per- fOrmanceS all over the world and inevitably was drawn to the movie capital. For her fifth cinema role she is a beautiful but brittle, cun- ming, secret agent in '"The House on 82nd Street." the 20th Century Fox thrill-filled drama now playing at the Strand theater.
 The coin tossing incident oc- cured when the director of the Swedish Royal Theater needed a young girl for Moliere's "Imagin- ary Malady," and called Signes mother to inquire if either Signe ol her sister would take the part.
 Neither of the girls was impressed but the money was needed by the family, so the coin was tossed to see who would go. Signe won or as she thought at the time lost and had to take the job.
 For three years, she had to play tiny fill-in parts to prove her worth before she was awarded scholar ship to the Royal Academy of Dra- matic Arts.
 q don't believe that education is necessary for modern acting, ' says Signe. For part such as mine in '"The House on 92nd Street." the instruction given at the studio Is more than sufficient to carry a talented girl through with flying colorS."
 The companion feature is "Clut Havana" starring Margaret Lindsay and Tom Neal

and Top Sergeant Cramp. There is a new face in the person of petite Jean Porter. playing a French ma demoiselle who does her best to make a permanent French citizen out of Corporal Hargrove.
 In France single-handed; you will rear at Pvt. Mulvehill when he gets caught in his own swindle, and you will howl with Sergeant Cramp as he hands out the pick and shovel details.
 The second attraction is the TO- mantle comedy The Cheaters starring Joseph Schildkraut.
 Opening Thursday is the gripping new hit, Fallen Angel, in which Alice Faye scores an unusual re- cord of film "firsts" after an absence of two years from the screen. The first return to the screen in two years, but her first black-and-white role in four years and her first all- dramatic role, but it marks the first time the blue-eyed blonde has es- saved a role in which she doesn't portray a singer or chorus girl who rises from the line to Broadway fame

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 27 - In the trade papers the other day was a report that Susanna Foster, offered the top role in New York pre- sentation of "Showboat," turned it down because she's determined to do grand opera or nothing on the stage.
 As you know, if you're regular reader of this column, I'm a Sus- anna Foster fan. think she is, po- tentially, one of the greatest sing ing stars in show business. But I'm commencing to doubt that she'll ever capitalize on her abilities. She seems to lack sense of direction.
 Because she's dissatisfied with her screen progress at Universal, she's been hiding out at Carmel-300 miles from Hollywood-between pie lures, disaSsociating herself com pletely from the industry which is her present means of livlhood. No matter how just her ire at Universal may be, that's no way in which to win her battle. It looks too much like pouting.
 If it's true that she has refused a chance to sing the Magnolia" role in "ShoWboat', I think that she's piling one silly gesture on top of an- other. A solid hit in light opera or musical comedy would bring her to the attention of the music world much more forcibly than her pie lures have ever done. Certainly, it wouldn't bar her from grand opera any more than it barred Grace Moore, who was a musical comedy star before she ever essayed opera.
 Miss Foster is going to find out some day, that battles are won on the firing line, not by breeding in corners. hope she doesn make the discovery too late.
 | Pm not surprised that OrSor Welles, co-star and director of "Tht Stranger" apparently has developed a new camera technique which may revolutionize picVture-making meth ods. I've always been willing to con. cede that Welles is exactly what hi: publicistS dubbed him-a Grade 4 genius. But am surprised, on talk. ing with other members of the cast to learn that he has consistent! built their roles at the expense O his own. Unless he's more careful the man who used to pride himsel on being hated, is apt to become ont of the best-liked celebrities on thu Hollywood scene.
 I happened to be on the "EXcap, Me Never set at Warner Brother when Gig Young, just back iron two years of active duty with tn Coast Guard, reported for work After saying hello to the directo and his fellow players, he suddenl, spied Clifford March, the coloret janitor assigned to that set, ant gave him a greeting that eclipsed al the others for warmth. Cliff and have a lot in common,' he told me "The last time I saw him was ol Guadalcanal He was there with tn 379th Engineering Battalion of tn 10th Army when my boat put in.

Starred with Alice in the grippins drama of desire and murder are Dana Andrews and Linda Darneil. Andrews, vino stalked the killer h Laura, plunges headlong into this tense and gripping story of a man absessed by the promising lips and taunting smile of a woman whom only murder can get out of his life forever. For Linda this role is by far her most fascinating and im- portant. Charles Bickford, Anne Revere, Bruce Cabot, John Carra- dine and Percy Kilbride head the outstanding supporting cast.
 In the co-feature, Radio Stars on Parade" Wally Brown and Alan Carney are co-starred with lovely Frances Langford. Featured are Don Wilson, Skinnay Innis and Band, and Ralph Edwards with his Truth or Consequences" program.
