Mr.. Wheeler, as all who know
him are aware, is a sterling
fellow with a heart Of gold. But
he Is not and never has been
a raving beauty.
Mr.. Kelly, who has spent all

Mr.. Harold Walters in charge
OF the music, said he had asked
the bandsmen II any Of them

"It was most astounding" re-
ported Mr.. Walters. Most OF
them had"
Mr.. Walters said he then sug-
gested 10 the bandSnen that
they pour little OF this in

valves and slides Of their in

"They did" he added, "and
no kidding, the whisky froze,

CHINESE IN PUSH ON 7
 JAP BASES

CHUNGKING, June Two Japanese-held former American air bases in south-central China were approac h Q d today by Chinese columns, one of which yesterday recaptured the important highway junction of Tsinkong (Chienkiang) 430 miles southeast of Chungking.
 Striking at two m a jor points along the lengthy north-south China front, Chinese troops threat ened the big bomber strip at Liu- chow, 53 miles northeast of Tsin- kong, and the fighter base at Shaoyang tPaoching) to the north east, 3S0 miles southeast of the Chinese capital.
 The Chinese high command said Chinese troops pursuing fleeing enemy forces toward Liuchow, which the Japanese appeared about to evacuate, while other Chinese battered to within seven and one- half miles of Shaoyang.
 The U. S. Fourteenth Air Force supported the drive on Liuchow by bombing supply depots and anti aircraft positions there yesterday, an American communique said.

I LOVE 4 SOLDIER CURRENT FEATURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

T Love A Soldier" starring Sonny Tufts and Paulette Goddard, now at the 20th Century has its moments of serious drama interspersed with hilarious comedy. An excellent cast supports the two stars including Mary Treen, Walter Sande, Ann Doran, Barry Fitzgerald and Frank Albertson.
 T Love A Soldier" tells about the love of shipyard worker, Paulette. for South Pacific hero. played by Tufts. In an early meeting with Paulette to bring back some trinkets which his buddy, killed in action, wanted returned to her. The TO- mantle spark is touched off immed- lately and a series of hurried meet ings and departures follows and finally, proposal of marriage by Sonny. Tn the meantime, Walter Sande. Tufts soldier pal, sets a good example for the love birds by marry ing Paulette's friend, played by Mary Treen.
 Still, Paulette is undecided be- cause of her aversion to marrying during wartime. She goes out with another soldier, Frank Albertson, in an effort to forget Sonny, but the latter trails right along with the funniest scene in the picture talk ing place in an amusement park. Paulette consents, at last. to mar riage but then the big blow comes. She discovers Sonny already has a wife who's suing for divorce.
 That is the big blow - but every thing comes out all right in the end.
