ATC Planes Brinq
$4,000 Men Over
Atlantic Monthly
Huge Redeployment Task
Faces Air Transport Com
mand At Opening of 5th
Year of Operation.

Rounding out its fourth year,
the AAF Air Transport Command
currently is engaged in the task
of helping transfer Americas war
might from the European and Med
iterranean theater, the war de-
partment announced today.
Supplemental surface transporta-
tion. a vast fleet of ATC transport
planes will undertake to fly $4,000
men a month across the Atlantic
when the redeployment program is
il is aiding in the return to this
country of tactical aircraft destined
for further combat, or training pur-
poses.
Military personnel flown home,
some of whom already have made
the crossing, will include special
lists to be used as requirements for
men ear-marked for the Pacific,
and those to be released from the
army. When this movement reach
es its peak, it will involve one
flight over the Atlantic every six
minutes - the equivalent of cir
cling the globe every fifty minutes
The tactical aircraft ferried
westward from the European and
Mediterranean theaters are being
flown by the same crews that took
them into combat. ATC must help
check these planes for safety be-
fore their departure, brief the crews
for the transocean flight, furnish
celestial navigators where needed
and service the aircraft EN- route.
Movement of the tactical planes
will gradually be stepped up to
the point where there will be an
even flow of between 100 and 125
aircraft a day on the way over the
north and south Atlantic.
Hunter Field, Savannah, Georgia,
and Dudley Field, Windsor Locks,
Connecticut, are the main aerial
ports of entry for the returning
tactical planes. Big east coast air
terminals, such as La Guardia Field
and Seth Street Airport, Miami, are
being used to debark the veterans
flown home by ATC. In addition
to the part it plays in redeploy-
ment, ATC will bear the continuing
responsibility of aerial supply to
those American forces remaining
in Europe, and will continue to
ferry combat aircraft and trans
port supplies to the remaining ac-
tive war fronts.
ATC also will not interrupt its
service of evacuating sick and
wounded army, navy and marine
personnel, from overseas.
Cessation of hostilities on one
side of the two-ocean war has mag
nified rather than minimized the
operation of ATC, which was es.
tablished May 30, 1941, to aid in
solving the logistical problems that
confronted Americas widely de
ployed forces.
At the end of its first year, the
record revealed ATC had delivered

Supplies Of Meat
Here in Mid-August
Largest Since March

A survey of independent retail
stores in Washington by the Labor
Department showed them better
stocked with all meat supplies ex-
cept lamb at mid-August than at
any time since March.
The same was true for butter and
margarine, but shortening and cook
ing oils were found to be less plen-
tiful than month earlier.
Sugar supplies also showed slight
improvement, with 43 per cent OF
stores surveyed being out of stocks
compared with 40 per cent at mid
July.
Veal showed the best improvement
over July, according to the survey
More than 80 per cent of stores were
without Supplies last month COM

Only one part of the story left us a

oeIlnlCely SnOuld see. Pride OF
the Marines" is something of which
the Marines and Hollywood both
may be proud, which is distinctly
rare for screen plays of its type.
AS screen hero, as well as a
military one, Philadelphia's Al
Schmid starts with the advantage
of being what every one likes to
think of as the typical American.
He has been nourished on freedom.
He is factory worker who has
been on his own since he was a kid
in short pants. He saved SO the
first year of his self-supported life
and he is up to $40 a week. He is
good at his job and he gets along
well with his fellow beings. There
Is swagger about him, a cockiness,
but it is never offensive. And when
it comes time for his showdown
with the Japs, he lives up to the
deep inner sense of self that makes
him aware, if only vaguely, that he
is better man for being an Ameri-
can. He is an individual and a
symbol at the same time and John
Garfield in one of his finest screen
performances catches both aspects
of him.
Pride of the Marines" is not to
be dismissed as war picture. 1t is
more than that. 1t is a postwar pic
ture to the degree that it treats of
Schmid's long, seemingly hopeless
fight for rehabilitation after his
blindness. 1t is postwar in flavor,
also, in that it deals with the vet
eran and his job after he lays down
his guns and until he finds he can
live as a cripple. And, with none of
the arbitrary, Super-impoSed effect
of the run of such pictures, this one
also is fine, simple love story of a
couple of little people who faced a
great tragedy and triumphed over it.
1t is enough to make you think
that Hollywood has recovered from
its shell-shock, or whatever it was
that gave favor of hysteria and
fantasy to so many attacks on
similar theme.
just as 1t does not idealiZe him,
Pride of the Marines" does not SEN
tlmentalize over Al Schmid. It lets
you see that there's nothing heroic
in his reaction to his blindness
alter japanese grenade explodes in
his face. His sense of justice is out
ragged. He is bitter, and, like
wounded animal, he wants to be
alone. He scorns kindness and sounds
off furiously about what America
intends to do for the men of this
war. He saw depression after the
last one and the older veterans
selling apples on street corners.
Above all, he cannot believe that
the girl he left behind, Ruth Hartley.
can have gone on loving him and
for her devotion he has only the
contempt he reserves for emotions
which he thinks are phony.
There is some dramatic fact-fac-
ing in the Earles picture, but it
never is gloomy in mood. One of
the best aspects of the screenplay
is the sturdy seasoning of comedy
that is honest and unforced. Funny
things happen, it says, in foxholes

and in naval hospitals. Earle audi
ences this week are given chance
to see some of them, the exchanges
between men waiting in quiet des-
peratlon for an overwhelming enemy
to appear, and the later ones when
the same groups-with some missing
are sitting manned in their sterile
dreary wards
The stress laid upon the romance
between Al Schmid and Ruth Hart
ley always has rational look about
it instead of being a mere conces-
sion tc dramatic formula. 1t was
the power of her devotion, regard
less OF the battering to which it
was subjected, that eventually
taught the heroic Marine that he
could have normal life. The
scraenplay, which was fashioned
from Roger Butterfield's biography
would have been remiss had it not
dwelt with proper emphasis upon
this point. 1t would have been less
TRUE to Al Schmid's story and It
would have been less dramatic at
the same time.
Garfleld's performance in the
heros role in Pride of the Ma
rlnes" is a remarkable blending of
the diverse qualities of the man,
his bravado and his terrible fears.
his gentleness and savagery, his un-
selflShness and his egocentricity.
and his other contrasting emotions.
But it is not the only outstand-
ing one in the picture. Eleanor
Parker is superb as the faithful
Ruth, as ready to fight with her
loved one as she is ready to fight
for her love- So is Dane Clark
as Lee Diamond, a fellow Marine
who is little wiser and more long
suffering than the tempestuous hero.
And, for that matter, the others
are reliable people for Director Del
mer Dawes to have had around in
undertaking to do a rational JOB of
building a screen drama around a
great guy who was not by any
means altogether great.
