convoy was instructed by it's escort
to scatter because the German bat
tleship Tirpitz and % other war
ships were approaching

that British escort ships had once
abandone d a Murmansk bound
convoy to engage German warships,
with the result that "a Allied mer-
chant vessels were sunk by torpedo

Lifts Censorship on Interview.
When the Admiralty's denial was
published today, the Navy Depart
ment was asked to permit publica-
ton OF paragraph previously de-
leted by Navy censors from a story
obtained from 1t. q. g. Charles
M. Ulrich, U. S. N. R., of Pitman,
N. j. The Navy thereupon said it
had no objection to publication.
Interviewed at Norfolk in July
1943, 1t. Ulrich said he had been
in command of a Navy gun crew
abroad a merchant ship bound for
Murmansk in convoy with 80 other
ships a year before; that on the
sixth day out of Iceland and for
five days thereafter the convoy was
attacked repeatedly by Nazi torpedo
planes and dive bombers; that sew
eral ships were sunk, and that:
"At the end of the fifth day,
our escort radioed us to scatter be-

ships were heading for our convoy
(This was the paragraph which
was deleted by Navy censors when
the story was submitted for re-
view.)
After the convoy dispersed, 1t.
Ulrich said, his ship tried to sneak
around Franz Josefland and Novya
Zembla, but an ice foe blocked us
and we sailed southwest of the foe.

nearby ships that they were being

POLL

Ending its engagement today at the Loew-Poli theater is the spark ling new Technicolor musical, The Dolly Sisters" starring Betty Gra- blbe, John Payne and June Haver. Betty Grable is seen as Jenny Dol ly, with her equally talented sister, Rosie, played by June Haver. John Payne is Harry Fox, song writer, whose romance with Jenny almost split the sensational sister team. The second attraction of the pro gram is the terror striking mys- tery, "The Fatal Witness" featur- ing Evelyn Ankers and Richard Fraser.
 Starting Thursday is the shocking drama, ''The House On 92nd Street" starring William Blythe, Lloyd Mo- Ian and Signe Hasso. In this electri- flying story of espionage and sabo- tage, movie-goers will have a thrill ing glimpse of the secret and me- ticulous operations employed by Federal agents to track down a criminal gang who held the key to one of our nations most vital war time secrets.
 Now that the German phase of the war has ended, J. Edgar HooV- CT released film footage taken from the secret files of the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation showing mo- torious German agents in opera tion against this country. In order to insure the fullest and most hon. est presentation of this thrill-packed drama, Director Hoover opened the Washington headquarters to Henry Pathway, director of the film, to shoot scenes needed of the codes and ciphers section, the scientific laboratory and the fingerprint classification division.
 To insure still further accuracy in detail and greater naturalism in the action, Hathaway sent Eythe and Nolan to the F. B. I. training school in Virginia where they had a strenuous course in G-Man tactics and behavior. "The House On 92nd Street" is a bold and exciting new technique in motion picture making and it took all the experience and skill the studio had at its command to film this story.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 4.-About three years ago, made arrange mentS for June Havoc, who was then making her screen debut at RKO, to appear at a War Bond rally. One of her friends, an ob- scure actor and hoofer from the New York stage, accompanied her to Pershing Square, where the rally was held.
 Miss Havoc, despite the fact that she was a newcomer, unknown to movie fans, was almost crushed by the press of autograph hunters. No one, of course, paid the least atten- ton to her companion-either at the rally itself, or at the party which June subsequently, staged in her own home for everyone who had pur- chased bonds from her. The young actor, on hand then to help her serve refreshments and keep her guests amused, was as completely overlooked as if he had been a hired waiter.
 The factor that makes the whole affair stand out in my memory is the young actors name-Van John- son.
 l never think of the fashion in which he was brushed off" by the fans on those two occasions without wondering about the mob psychology involved. Is it the irresistible per sonality of the actress or actor which sets the ar-worshippers agog? Or is it the glamour of fame which makes them fascinating.
 Van Johnson, then, was certainly as attractiv as he is today-and the young ladies who attended the rally and the party had much more op- portunity to see him at close quar- ters.
