HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 2A--As . general rule, the old adAge, "a leop- ard can't change itS spots," Is no truer than the observation that a temperamental actress c VI e T changes her disposition. That's why I'm particularly interested in the new" Joan Fontaine, who seems to be an exception to the rule.
 At RKO, where Miss Fontaine is starring in "All Brides Are Beau tiful" she has made herself one of the most popular personalities on the lot. The little people"-the grips, property men, electricians and extras who can always be depended upon for 'lowdown" information are unanimous in shouting her praises. To date, she hasn't indulged in Q single Aare-up, or shown one symptom of the "snootiness" that threatened Q year or two ago, to make her one of our most dis liked ladies.
 Why the revolutionary change? We'll, I have a theory. I think Joan. because of matrimonial difficulties and perpetual Quarrels with Produc- CT David o. Selznick, was very unhappy young lady, and I think she's just high strung enough to let personal unhappiness distort her en- tire viewpoint. Today, she's rid of the husband and rid of the boss. 1n- stead of becoming a "neW'' TontaiIle, she's merely reverting to the "old"

From the New York Herald Tribune.
In q garage on the outskirts Of Brus-
sells the British have come upon an In
teresting and even now somewhat grisly
discovery. 1t Is complete set Of maps,
plans, photographs, explanatory dos
siers-embracing hundreds of thousands
of documents in all-prepared by the
German Army on the invasion Of Great
Britain. With the thoroughness for
which the German military mind is 80
justly celebrated, 1t covers everything
street plans of every British village,
maps of every inch Of coast line, COM
plete invasion guide books which even
list suitable country houses to be taken
over for German headquarters. The
work was originally assembled In Au-
gust, 1910. 1t was still being revised
and kept up to date as late as 1943. 1t
now indicates the lines upon which the
intended invasion was to have pro-
ceeded-f1rst blocking of British har-
bors to seal in the Royal Navy; then q
landing in Kent to outflank the South
Downs and draw the British Army east
ward; then major landing by sea-
borne and air-borne forces on the south
coast, which was to seize the Aldershot
plain and take the defense of London
in the rear; at the end a final moppine-
up action against the British remnants
which, 1T was thought, would nee into
North Wales. It is grim to think now
how nearly all this came to happening

Colonel HuIsey

When news came yesterday of the
sudden and untimely death Of
Colonel Edwin A. Halsey, it was
remarked at once that Washington
and most especially the Capitol had
lost a man whose capacity for max
ing and keeping friends was unsur-
passed. The first tribute of the
people among whom he had moved
for nearly half century was one of
grief that a fine exponent of the art
OF human fellowship was gone. He
will be remembered particularly in
connection with his cordial relations
with individuals of all classes,
parties, creeds and conditions.
But the late Secretary of the Sen
ate had other values also. The place
he filled in the Government was an
important place. Much more de-
pended upon him than met the
casual eye. For example, he was
liaison officer between the upper
branch of the National Legislature
and the press. His helpfulness to
editors and reporters could not be
exaggerated. In many an emergency
he was the medium through whose
constructive Intervention the un-
qualified facts were learned and
publicized. His discretion, tact and
fairness were legends. A Virginia
Democrat and partisan, he never
theless enjoyed the respect as well
as the affection of Yankee Repub-
licans and Independents. It was a
speaker for the minority who
summed up his career in the words:
ellis whole life has been a devoted
conservation to efficient public
service"
Such man, obviously, does not
accumulate wealth, receive the ap-
plause of vast multitudes. win fame
akin to notoriety. The best reward
that did come to Colonel Halsey was
nothing more than the quiet salts
faction of being useful in a place and
an era OF significance. He loved his
work and was happy in it. 1.-THE

battles In European Russia and their
huge Asiatic territory had to rely prin-
cipally on supplies from Europe, they
are no longer under the same handicap
and can decide at will whether and
when they wish to attack the Japs.
According to some observers, the whole
matter will depend on the conversa-
tions Of the big three. While there Is
no definite information, it is generally
assumed that the Soviet leader will re-
quire q certain price for Intervention
against the Japanese. Russia Is likely
to require the restoration Of her power
in the East to the position 1t held before
the Russo-Japanese War OF 1904 and
possibly little more. In diplomatic
quarters which have followed Moscow's
policies closely it Is believed that
Premier Stain will require that Man
churia border state of Siberia, be
taken from Japanese tutelage and made
into an independent republic with
government friendly to the U. S. S. r.
The same request is expected to be
made In regard to Korea, With Port
Arthur, which until 1905 was the fore
most Russian military naval base in the
Far East, restored to the Russian con-
troll. Representatives of che United
States Government, including An,bassa-
dor Patrick Hurley, already are attempt
ing to bring about better understand
ing between the Chungking govern
ment of Generaissimo Chang Kai -shek
and the Communist government in
Sinkiang Province, which is on the
borders of Moscow controlled Outer
Mongolia.
Should such an attempt prove success
full, reshuffled Chungking government
would become more Moscow minded
than the present government.
Under these circumstances Premier
Stain will be able to breathe easier,
since he will have only friendly govern
ments" along the entire border of his
huge empire. Manchurian and Korean
problems might thus be solved to the
satisfaction of the U. S. S. r. without
giving offense either to the Chinese
government or to the Korean people.
Manchuria and Korea would become
independent entities under the unofficial
protectorate Of the strong neighbor in
the north.

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

A definite agreement for Russia to
Join the United States and Britain In
the war against Japan Is expected to
be one Of the results Of the next con-
ference Of the "big three" Usually
well-informed military quarters here
believe the Russians will move against
the Japs as soon as they can open
second front without fear OF weakening
their position and jeopardizing the VIC
tory against Germany, and after the
necessary political arrangements have
been made between President Roosevelt
and Premier Stain.
According to various hints received
from Japanese sources, 1t appears there
has been suspicious" activity at Vladi-
vostok and on the Siberian -Manchurian
border. The Red Army is reported
strengthened in the last few months.
Earlier in the war, when the Germans
were driving toward the Volga River, a
large part Of the forces in Siberia had
been sent to fight the Germans. Since
surrender at Stalingrad and the re-
sumption of the offensive of the Red
Armies, the Siberian forces were sent
back to their old stations. Today, ac-
cording to some reports, about 500 900
men comprise the forces.

Much lease-lend and Siberian-manu-
factured war material has been gathered
in the area. The Siberian railroads
have been improved and extended. New
factories have been created to serve,
at the time of their erection, as an
additional feeder to the supplies
received from the United States and
Great Britain. Many of the war plants
which had been evacuated from the
areas invaded by the Germans were
set up in various parts of Siberia.
The population of Siberia was sub
stantially increased by the addition Of
millions evacuated by force or other
wise from Poland, the Baltic States,
occupied Russia, and more recently
from Romania and Bulgaria. While
no statistics are available, it is generally
believed that this gigantic migration
has added at least 100000 to the
former population figures

Is Hitler Quitting Norway?

A number of recent events indi-
cate that the hard-pressed Nazis
may be in process of evacuating Nor
way. The liberation of that oppressed
country began some time ago with
the expulsion of the German garri-
sons from most of it's northernmost
province, Finmark, by Russian forces
driving in from adjacent Finland
assisted by small contingent of
Norwegian commando troops trained
in Britain. However, the recovery of
F1nmark has scant strategic relation
to the rest of the country, because it
is virtually isolated from the bulk of
Norway except by sea.
Most Of Norway is a narrow fringe
Of high land rising sharply from
the ocean, which encroaches in
many deep inlets known as fjords.
This ittoral strip eliminates in an
almost unbroken mountain wall
which forms natural frontier with
Sweden. Only in the extreme south
does Norway broaden into a sizable
area intersected by arabic valleys
which support most of Norway's
population. Every fjord-mouth and
many of the outlying islands are
heavily fortified, and their reduction
would necessitate series of costly
"triphibious" landing operations
which the Allies have hitherto not
deemed worth the price in view of
their crucial commitments on the
main European battle fronts. Such
operations might. however, become
feasible If the German occupation
should be so weakened that the de-
tense of Norway would become a
mere screen. There is also the pos
sibility that the narrow fringe of
Central Norway might be abandoned
by the Germans, who would thence
forth conf1ne their hold to the
extreme south. This would still give
them submarine bases. airfields and
launching sites for robot bombs.
Certain it is that some Of the best
German troops in Norway have al
ready been sent home, because such
units have been reported on the
western front. Another significant
straw in the wind is the conference
between Hitler and Vidkun Quisling,
leader Of the Norwegian Nazis and
puppet ruler Of the country, just an
nounced by DNB. the official Ger
man news agency. While no details

Schneidemuhl. For these operations
the Russian troops released by the Ger
man collapse, in East Prussia will pres
emily become available. They will be
much more readily brought into action
II the German defense of Torun should
give way.
We now come to the German defenses
on the middle Oder-thoSe which bar
the direct route to Berlin. Here we may
revert again to the old Imperial Ger
man fortress plan.
In that plan the defense of the line
of the middle Oder rested on two major
fortresses, Kustrin and Glogau. These
were points Of support, of course, in a
mobile defense, in which the river play
ed no greater part than that of an OBJ
stacle Of which tactical advantage
could be taken by an active defender
Kustrin is about so miles due east Of
Berlin, where the main railway from
Berlin to Danzig via Schneidemuhl
crosses the Oder; Glogau, an important
railway junction on the Berlin-B -Breslau
line, is about 100 miles southeast of
Berlin.
The Notifications of these two fort
resses are particularly designed for
blocking and controlling the rail traffic.
To these points in the defense OF the
Oder line should probably be added
improvised Notifications of the i'm
portant cities of Frankfurt Oder and
Breslau, and we should also take into
consideration the fortress of Neisse,
about so miles south Of Breslau on the
Neisse River.
We may consider Kustrin and Frank
furt as barring direct advance on Berlin;
from Frankfurt the German defense
zone seems to be shaping up to the
southeast through Glogau and Breslau
and then south to Neisse. In relation
to Kustrin, Frankfurt and Glogau, the
continued German defense Of Poznan
acts as q check on Russian movements,
just as Torun does to the northern part
Of the front.
Thus We begin to get picture of the
German defense plan along these lines:
Beginning on the lower Vistula at Dan
zig and Tzcew, southwest through
Chojnice and Schneidemuhl to the Oder
at Kustrin, south to Frankfurt, and
southeast through Glogau to Breslau
and Neisse. II you will trace this line
on the map you will see that 1t forms
great salient, with Its apex pointed at
Berlin and deep in German territory.
It Is toward the breaking down Of the
sides Of this salient, not to the advance
Of its apex, that the main Russian
efforts must now be directed.
