1 thousand as the magnificent Daryl F. Zanuck production gives it the heavens and earth in which to spread its glory-tipped wings.
 Early in 1943, Moss Hart was asked to write the official Army Air Forces play" and in April 1943 Hart drafted" himself and became buck private in the AAF, visit ing air base training centers and collecting literally truckloadS of notes and data about CT life in the air forces.
 It took Hart four months to put on paper everything he saw and did while stationed" at the various camps. General Arnold, realizing that only the most experienced and talented men in their fields could make the production truly great one, made available to Hart many of the outstanding men of the thea ter world who were members of the Army Air Forces personnel.
 When Daryl F. Zanuck saw Winged Victory" on the New York stage, he immediately became inter- ested in making the motion picture at 20th Century-Fox with profits going to Army charities When the play ended it's sensational run in New York, the entire cast went to Hollywood by troop train for the picture.
 Selected short subjects complete the bill.

NUREMBERG, Nov. 24.-Adolf
Hitler-ever a claimant to prophetic
and intuitional powers-made this
appraisal Of Russia's strength and
his own future to his generals in
1889, documents introduced before
the International War Crimes Tri-
bunal disclosed:
"Russia has the far reaching goal,
above all, Of the strengthening OF
her position In the Baltic. Further,
Russia Is striving to increase her In
huence in the Balkans and is striv-
ing toward the Persian Gulf.
Russia will do that which she
considers to be to her benefit. At
the present moment Russia has re-
tired from internationalism. In
case she renounces this, she will pro-
ced to Pan-Slavism. It Is fact that
at the present time the Russian
Army is Of little worth"
OF himself, Hitler said: IT shall
shrink from nothing and shall de-
stroy every one who is opposed to me.
In the past few years have expert
enced many examples Of intuition
I shall stand or fall In the struggle.
I shall never survive the defeat oi

Hitler Hid Attack Plan
By Trading With Reds,
Trial Document Shows
BY the Associated Press,


NUREMBERG, Nov. PA docu-
ment submitted at the trial of 20
Nazi leaders yesterday disclosed that
Hitler disguised German plans for
the 1941 attack on Russia by insist
ing that Soviet orders for German
arms be filled promptly.
The compilation written by Maj.
Gen. George Thomas said that on
August Ia, 1910, Reichsmarshal
Hermann Goering informed the Of
flee of War Economy:
'The Fuehrer desires punctual de-
livery to the Russians only until the
Spring of 1941. Later on, we will
have no further interest in COM
pletely satisfying Russian demands. :"
Gen. Thomas wrote that the sub
terfuge worked well because "the
Russians carried out their deliveries,
as planned, right up to the start of
the attack. Even during the last
few days, transports of India rubber
from the Far East were completed
by express transit trains"
The document said because the
Russians were keeping up prompt
deliveries of essential foods and raw
materials to Germany during 1910,
the Nazi high command decided to
offer Russia war materials already
made for the German Army.
The Germans even offered the
Soviet the heavy cruiser Luetzow
and patterns Cor artillery, tanks and
other important weapons.
Gen. Thomas said Hitler conf1ded
his plans for invading Russia to the
Office of War Economy in Novem-
ber, 1910. seven months before the
attack.
The Office Immediately prepared
a vast program for seizing the Cau-
casian oil fields. power plants and
industrial Establishments intact and
putting them to work swiftly for the
Reich.
The ambitious program envisaged
the establishment throughout Rus
STA of communications with the Far
East which would insure ample sup
plies of rubber, tungsten, copper, tin,
asbestos and hemp.

sideration, it was not entirely a
naval matter but primarily diplo-
matte question"
Senator Brewster suggested that
the diplomatic was dominating the
military, and Mr.. Welles replied that
the military is very essential part
Of the diplomatic picture" and he
added, II still feel that If the fleet
had been moved the japanese would
have regarded it as an invitation to
move in"
Questioned on Bluff.
Senator Brewster asked Mr.. Welles
If he was the one who gave Admiral
Richardson the impression that
Washington thought Japan could
be bluffed. Mr.. Welles said he Ger
tainly was not, adding that such
was not a fact" The admiral had
said he did not recall who gave him
that impression, but he left WASH
ington In 1910 with that feeling.
Although the committee had
agreed in advance not to question
Mr.. Hull for more than As minutes
at any one session, the 74-year-old
statesman did not appear tired when
that time had expired yesterday. In
fact, when Chairman Barkley called
attention to the committees agree
ment, Mr.. Hull said he would not
mind going on for another Is
minutes.
He displayed some of his old
time vigor whenever he had occasion
to refer to Hitler, TOTO or other
Axis leaders.
Without mentioning Admiral
Richardson, Mr. Hull observed
Some people say we were trying to
bluff Japan. Why not say We were
trying to bluff TOTO and Hitler, be-
cause they were hooked up like
that" crossing his fingers in a gest-
ure to indicate the ties between
them.
After referring to the tri-partite
agreement, In which Japan joined
with Germany and Italy in Septem-
Der, 1910, Mr.. Hull added: ANY
country that showed too much
weakness in the face of those des-
peradoes, would be much more like
ly to get into trouble than if they
pursued firm policy"
The crowd in the big caucus room
applauded Mr.. Hull as he left the
stand.

Chinese Communists
Demand Autonomy
For Manchuria
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, Nov. "a. - The
Chungking World Daily News to-
day reported that Nationalist have
surrounded vital Chinhsien, 100
miles inside Manchuria-while the
Communist New China Daily News
fatty demanded autonomy for Man
churia and said its inhabitants
were urging Russian forces to de-
lay their withdrawal until it is
granted.
Communists earlier forecast a
full-scale battle if Nationalists at
tempted to take Chinhsien, but the
World Daily News reported only
"unorganized" resistance.
Reds Pour Into Mukden.
The Communistic New Szechwan
Daily stated that Chinese Reds,
meanwhile, have poured into Muk-
den, and asserted that Gen. Chu
Teh, commander in chief of the
Chinese Communist forces, already
has 100000 men massed in Man
churia, including the Reds "peo-
pies militia" The report made no
reference to the Russian forces
which-so far as is known here
still are occupying Mukden.
The World Daily News attributed
its report that Chinhsien has been
surrounded to reliable sources"
1t said Nationalists already have
occupied the railroad station at
Chinhsien against "unorganized re-
sistance."
The same source also reported Ma
tionalists have captured Lienshan

north Of the Great Wall, and now
are approaching the Communist
held Manchurian seaport of Hulutao,

II the Nationalists actually have
surrounded Chinhsien, it is possible
they have by-passed Lienshan and
cut across country, observers here
pointed out.
From Paotow, western terminus of

Mongol cavalry units had broken
through the encircling Communists
to relieve the Nationalist defenders
