US. Drops Plan toOwn Seq Bases
 Postwar Policy
 eaIIs for Rights
 10 Uee Islands

Washington, May % = CUP) - The Q. s. joint chiefs of stan plan for postwar American bases calls only for rights to use facilities on the Australian mandated island of Manus and British Islands in the Pacific, it was said authoritatively today.
 The United States has not asked and does not intend to ask either for sovereignty over such bases or for the right to maintain garrisons on them. This is also true of the British island of Ascension in the South Atlantic between Africa and South America.
 This pattern is now reliably re- ported to be the one for the Azores. The U. s. was said to have aban- doned it's original plan for acquiring permanent bases on those Portu- guese islands and now seeks only the use of facilities there.
 VIII Be U. S. Base
 American plans for Iceland call for "joint use" with Iceland of military facilities there. But inas- much as Iceland has never had an army or navy it would amount to . U. S. base, maintained and garri- s0ned by Americans.
 Although Greenland figures in the long-range strategic defense plan of the United States, American officials deny that any negotiations have yet started with Denmark on that area.
 It said that the key to the Q. s. joint chiefs of staff plan for bases in island held by other countries is "a joint use" agreement.
 Postwar plans for Manus, in the Admiralty Islands north of New Guinea, probably have caused moro controversy than any other Pacific spot. But what the U. 6. seeks there 1t was said, is only the right to use facilities. Under the proposed U. g. plan, Australia would main- tain, keep in repair and garrison the naval base which the U. s. built. The U. s. would have the right to use the base even for maneuvers, and it's military people would con- suit with Australians on any changes in the base.
 Morally Bound to Philippines
 The joint chiefs of stan plan is the basic policy of the U. s. as 1t negotiates with half a dozen na- tions-Tceland, Portugal, Britain, Australia and Greenland - on its postwar defense plans. Initial work on 1t started three years ago when the late President Roosevelt asked the joint chiefs of staff to begin dis cussions on this problem but cau- tioned them not to upset the war effort. The first draft was ready . year or more ago.
 As the war neared an end, and in the light of the atomic bomb, the joint chiefs revised the plan and completed only last Fall the docu- ment now considered U. s. policy. Since then negotiations have been going on with number of nations.
 The joint chiefs plan for the Pa cif1c, it was said, is based on one simple premise-the U. S. will be committed legally and morally to protect the Philippine Islands against aggression even after the islands get independence on July 4.

HOLLYWOOD. May s0Thees sasked to explain
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-05-29

HOLLYWOOD, May 20-There an interesting paragraph in a re- cent bulletin from the Independent Theater Owners of Ohio. It reads: ''The committee appointed several months ago to receive applications from honest-to-G God, true-blue and patriotic American theater owners from membership in the "I-Refuse- To Play The New Charlie Chaplin Picture" continues to func- ton. By signing the enclosed post card, you agree to pass up the fore- going picture, and pledge to give the playing time to pictures in which appear outstanding and patriotic Americans like Bob Hope, Carole LAndis, Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, Frances Langford, Pat OBrien, Joe E. Brown and the many other act- ors and actresses all citizens of the United States, and all of whom, during the war, helped to main- tain the morale of our fighting boys overseas" This bulletin was mailed to thousands of American exhibitors.
 What makes it especially inter esting Is the fact that Chaplin has now signed as his leading lady, Martha Rave, who, during the war, worked overtime for the entertain ment of our troops, both in the United States and overseas. That shrewd piece of casting-a deliber- ate effort, in my opinion, to con- fuse the issue-poses a problem for the militant theater owners who are leading the attempted boycott of Chaplin films. They can't re- fuse to play his picture without at the same time in1licting an appar- ent injustice on Miss Rave, who certainly ills all their qualifications as a patriotic star.
 I think Chaplin's diplomatic ruse may be too little, and too late. Mar tha Rave, under the circumstances, might have been more discreet had she ducked the job.

professions. A good stock salesman knows better than to beat his cus- toner's"
 During the past three weeks trade papers have reported that three more stories about chronic alcoholics are being readied for production, and the press agent fol Arch of Triumph has proudly as- sured the world that Ravic, the character to be portrayed by Charles Boyer, will drink at least 10 times as much liquor as did Ray Mill alnd in '"The Lost Weekend" It seems that Hollywood is firmly de- termined to find out, once and fol all how many drinks 1t takes to make one reel. Jimmy Stewards parents, visiting him in Hollywood, accompanied him to the "It's A Wonderful Life" set to watch Jimmy at work. What do you think of movie making now, dad2" asked the star.

Washington, May 20-(UP)-The main entrance to Gap Krug's sarc- tunl in the Interior Department is f1anked by two Alaskan totem poles. The low man on the left pole seems to be eating a green frog.
 Low man on the right pole may even be a lady or some kind of fish with a blue complexion. So John L. Lewis and his encourage dumped down the corridor on the seventh floor. Lewis paused for a look at the low men on both totem poles and buinped-oops-into . lady reporter in a rcd and black dress.
 She said she understood he had the contract ending the coal strike in his pocket. John L. tipped his gray fedora in a sweep that can be classified as majestic and strode through the long, walnut paneled anteroom to Secretary Krug's office. One of Lewis associates-I wish I'd been spry enough to catch his name-paused at the lady recep- tionist's desk.
 He said it seemed extra hot and sticky in the Interior Department.

Tire Supplies
 Lag in Lack
 

Boston, May g - (UP) - Re- peated interruptions in the flow oi supplies of some 2,OOO materials used in the manufacture of tires is the only bar to record production of 85,000,000 to 900OO,OOO tires a year, John L. Collyer, B. F. Good rich president, said here yesterday
 Collyer told members of the Ad- vertising Club of Boston that, al- though American rubber consump- tion for the March quarter was 46 percent ahead of 1940, sharp re- duction in operations and the &C., companying lay-off of tens of thou sands of workers may be forced If suppliers do not get back into full production very soon."
 In any event, even if there is no marked decline from present out standing production levels it will be near the end of this year before supply has caught up with demand. When this point is reached, he stressed, there will be no reason for not lifting price controls. Decon- trolling, he predicted, will come by midsummer on large tires and early next year on passenger car models. concentrate on work in . limited field. Competence in foreign lan- guages will be put on 6 heavy premium.

 Johnny "Scat" Davis, baseball, baseball and basketball player, went traordinary, looks pretty good call ing the signals in Crosby backfeld practices.
 Our man Friday tells us that Nick Barone looked very good in the Crosby scrimmages the other day. Nick played baseball for the Crosby squad under Coach Jack Manherz. Could be that Barone may cop a first string back post.
 Jimmy Piersal, Leavenworth High baseball mad basketball player, went through all the calisthenics with with the Tech Footbalers and even heaved a few passes at the Stadium the other day.
