HOLLYWOOD - Ga I h e r
around, suffering husbands, and
leave US tell you about this gal
named Ingrid Bergman, who
has introduced a new kind of
beauty - naturalness - to the
screen. Ingrid's unaffected
beauty stands out in Hollywood
like Snow White in an M-G-M
technical chorus.
We were talking to her about
It over coffee and cake, in her
dressing room on the set of her
new movie, Notorious"
She said she never goes to a
beauty parlor (look at the money
you could save, fellows) and that
she can bathe, get dressed and
ready to go out, formally, in 10
minutes flat.
One night, she said, 1t took her
13 minutes and her husband, DR..
Peter Lindstrom, said, What
took you SO long, dear?"
Ingrid replied: II read short
story in the bathtub."

wait and look at last years mag
azines before the little woman
comes out of the boudoir at 9.l5

favorite mirror. No extra charge.
SHE DOESN'T CHANGE
Ingrid Bergman, off the
screen, looks just like she does
on the screen. Only more we'll

sible. And the naturalness you
see on the screen doesn't end
when she steps out Of Gamer a

She will be nominated this
year for two Academy awards,
for her performances in Spell

Mary's." She won feminine act
ing honors last year, you know,
for "Gaslight," and with the lady
competing only against herself
this year, the Academy really
should change Oscars name to
Ingrid.

and say which performance she
preferred, but she did confess
that she liked the character Of

"ARROW FLY HOME" by
Katharine Gibson (Longmans,
Green: $2.00) Is more by far
than just another Indian story
for youngsters. The author has
taken family history-her great
great-grandparents were cap
tured by the Shawnees in Ohio
and brought to life q true story
with highly satisfactory results.
Principles are boy and girl.
David was first to be taken cap
tive. and grew from near baby
hood to a good-sized youngster
before 10-year-old Elizabeth was
brought to camp. Anna. tho
Pennsylvania Dutch woman who
had lived 30 long with tho
Indians that she was almost in

ed for the youngsters, who In
time became accustomed to their
new mode of life. and acquired
an understanding Of the Shaw
nee side Of the picture through
their friendship with Chief
Cornstalk and q princess.
But the children were still
white children; they wanted to
rejoin their own people, and the
opportunity came when the
Shawnees were completely out
fought. David and Elizabeth
had children, and to
them the Shawnees were made
as real as they are to the reader.
"Arrow Fly Home" Is . fine
story Of younger readers, and
one which achieves sustaining
interest without resorting to

canal dispatches and has a way
of making a good story even
better the way he tells 1t (re-
member Battle Of the Solom-

Philippines" (Simon & Schu-
ster: $2.75).
It Is the story of Lieut.. Iliff

ecutive officer to Lieutenant
Kelly of the famous "expend-
sbles." When his squadron's last
PIT boat went up in flames in the
Philippines. not long after can

son joined the retreat, reached
Leyte, and together with 10
AAF pilots set sail for Australia
in a 90-foot banca, a slim and
speedy, but not too stable, ma
tive sailing boat. Before long the
craft capsized, and Richardson
made shore on Leyte after a
narrowing 13-hour swim.
His recovery on the island was
leisurely and for the most part
pleasant. The Filipinos were in
the main loyal and helpful. But
soon guerrilla activity began to
flare up. internecine as well as
anti-Jap. Richardson's Job, un-
der Col. Ruperto Kangleon, was
to organize the guerrillas and
direct all Of their efforts against
the Jap.

Richardson handled ordnance,

eventually Kansleon made him

spite Of endless detail and con-
slant activity against the enemy,
Richardson found time to fall in
love with Curly, beautiful
daughter of one OF, the island's 3
most prominent families.
He was suddenly ordered to
provide radio intelligence for
General Macarthur, met subma-

Is present-day influenza the
same infection which swept the
world in 1918? The question Is
impossible to answer, as the in
fluenza virus was not discovered
until 1893.
Influenza is . highly -conta-
gious disease; epidemics occur
every other year. In 1943 the
outbreak in University of Min
nesota students started Nov. %
and lasted until after Christmas; !;
1914 was q free year. Up to 1943
the epidemics occurred in Janu-
ary and February, but in that
year the cycle changed; the pres
ent wave Of influenza started
Nov. IS and will continue until
about the first Of the year. Ma
jority of influenza cases this year
are the simple. uncomplicated
variety.
Incubation period Of influenza
Is one to three days. Onset II

tions, prostration, aching pains
and catarrhal symptoms In the
nose, pharynx and trachea. Pa
tients usually feel like going to
bed as soon as they become i'll
and they should obey the i'm
pulse.
TWO VARIETIES FOUND
The influenza virus was dis
covered in experiments conduct
ed on ferrets. But the original
method Of using ferrets for the
isolation Of the influenza virus
has been discarded, and now the
virus can bs identified In l8
hours by inoculating fertilized
hens eggs.
Although II IL impossible to

New Industrial Centers Are Scared for First Time
 Planes Fly Low

FIST OMBER COMMAND, GUAM, Wednesday, June 20.-Fly- ing their second fire raid mission against secondary Japanese indus trial cities, about 450 Superforts struck Shizuoka and Toyohashi on Honshu Island and Fukuoka on KyuShu today.
 The B-29s dropped their incend- iary loads from low altitude in att tacks starting about a. m.
 It was the first fire attack for each of the three cities.
 Fukuoka, with a population of 323 1000, has become increasingly inn portant industrially, with it's concen- tration of ordnance and aircraft fac tories. It is the capital of north western Kyushu's industrial and mine prefecture.
 Toyohashi is situated 189 miles southwest of Tokyo and has major armament and explosives factories as well as several military schools It has a population of about 1000

Eiqht BattIe Hardened US Divisions Will Move

PARIS, June 19. - Eight battle hardened U. s. divisions which fought the Germans in bitter cam paigns from North Africa to the heart of the Reich have been chosen for permanent duty in the American zone of occupied Germany.
 An official announcement dis closes that among the outfits which will compose the army of occupa- -tion are the 82nd airborne division, the First and Fourth armored di- visions, and the First, Third, Ninth, 29th and 36th infantry divisions.
 The 82nd. now in Neufchateau, France, has been assigned to duty in Berlin and will leave for the German capital within 36 hours, taking over the role originally in tended for the Second armored di- vision, which is being deployed elsewhere.
 Army commanders could scarcely have picked units less likely to have kindly feelings toward the Ger mans.

WATCHES BATTLE OF 0KINAWAA AS

Real Bombardmenfof of Jdp- anese on Last Hdngout
 on Isle Seen from Air
By BONNIE WILEY Associated Press War Edit0r)

ABOARD A TRANSPORT PLANE OVER OKINAWA, June 18.-tDe- ayed) From this big transport )lane over Okinawa I watched the ,attle for this island as it reached IS final stages today after weeks bitter fighting.
 From this plane, it looked more ike kids game played with toy oldiers ana toy battleships.
 Far below, a battleship's guns lashed, smoked and flashed again.
 On shore. an echoing squirt of mcke marked the shell hit.
 Keep watching" yelled Rear Adm. H. A. Flannigan of Washing on, D. C., fellow passenger in the ,lane.
 From our vantage point, too far lbove to hear the noise of battle yer the roar of the planes engines, 7e had panoramic view of Knock Ut Corner" the southern end of the sland into which the relentless American troops have driven what left of the Japanese Okinawa gar- ison.
 Without the nose of battle, watch ng the guns flash and smoke rise slowly into the air. l felt as though was seeing a silent newsreel.
 A quick succession of flashes ,elched from the ships guns sud- lenly, angry flames billowed up rom something hit in the middle yrcund of the battle area. Quickly, he flames reached high into the sky.
 Then there were more fires. more James and more smoke, until I wondered how a single Japanese ould live in that tight little area.
 Broken clouds, like marshmallows, lung over the battle. Up to meet hem came heavy, spreading mass If smoke, curtaining the picture.
 Diving and flying through the :louds were American planes look ng like tiny specks on white ,ablecloth.
 I watched three of these planes. First one, then another dived straight toward the ground, straigh- ened out and ducked back into the clouds.
 You're seeing some real bom-
