STRAND

During the Nazi occupation of Rome an industrious, democratic group of Italian film people of the underground movement worked on a scenario in an effort to show the world just what went on when the Nazis occupied Rome The results of their labor are evident in the film Open City," which is now at the Strand Theatre.
 Production on the picture started immediately after the allied libera- tion of Rome. All events in the film, which took six months to pro- duce, are true depictions of actual happenings in Rome during the German occupation. Many of the scenes, including the destruction of railroad train by band of anti Nazi Italian boys, and mass arrests activities, were filmed near or at the exact location of the particular incident.
 Even after the Nazis had been chased out of the city the company encountered trouble while shooting some scenes in which Italians were dressed as SS Troopers. In one particular take" filmed on local street, car filled with men wearing SS uniforms was to pull up to the curb, apprehend and force into the

Hollywood, August 22@Dear Staff It occurs to me, kiddies, that the lpublic spirited citizens of Hollywood have overlooked one serious threat to our social bliss. There should be some system devised whereby any, one, no matter how lackadaisical he may be about keeping posted or the up-to- the minute matrimonial sta tistics, can readily identify stellar wives and husbands.
 Consider the confusion that now exists. You go to party and you're introduced to Miss Stella Twink Ter. Does that give you an adequate clue to her present marital status? It does not. You don't know whether she's an unmarried maiden, happy wife or seeded contender for the title of Hollywood's most-divorced star. It you're a gentleman, you forthwith feel obliged to engage the lady in small talk, but you do it under dangerous handicap Maybe the guy a few paces away-the one named Abernathy Jessup-is her husband and the father of their three kids. Maybe he's her ex-hus- band. Or maybe he's a complete stranger.
 If feminine stars insist on retain I ing their maiden names, no matter how many times they march to the altar (and they do insist), it's high time to enact legislation compelling them to submit to some other kind of identification marks. Branding as suggested by an ex-Texas cow boy who turned up with a black eye the other day after taking the word Miss" too seriously. seems a bit rough, but off-hand, can't see any reasonable objection to the dog collars. or something of the sort.

RACE HORSES AIR EXPRESSED
By BOB HOPE

RACE HORSES AIR EXPRESSED
 Talk about progress They are now transporting race horses by plane to the various tracks throughout the country. I first learned of the innovation at the airlines office When asked for ticket to Chicago, the clerk asked, Win, place or show?"
 The new flying stable" is do- ing wonders for the owners. Fl Lobo, the first horse to take to the air, got off the plane at Bay Meadows and won the handicap. He couldn't help but win he only had a few minutes to catch the plane home!
 It's causing changes in the air. lines, also. I understand they're now featuring hay rides, and La- Guardia Field is putting fences along the runways.
 Louis (B for Busher) Mayer shipped ten of his best thorough breds by air to Chicago and the trip was complete success. The hostess carried a bottle of DOT and the pilot wore his oxygen mask all the way.
 It was new to the horses to see the ground pull away from be- heath their feet. In fact, one horse looked out the window and shouted, Quick, give me saliva test I'm flying!"

LugerShot  Is UnsoIved

Washington, Aug. 22- OP) A bullet from German luger auto- matic was fired into the Pentagon Building office of Maj.-Gen. Gla- deon Barnes, chief of Army ord- nance, in 1942, War Department sources disclosed today.
 Barnes was sitting at his desk at the time.
 Barnes served as head of Army Ordnance and research and develop ment from July, 1939, to September, 1945.
 The bullet crasned through the window of his office while he was conferring with an aide, imbedding itself in the wall. It did not, how ever, come close to Barnes where he sat at his desk.
 The mystery of wilo fired the shot never has been solved by either the Federal Bureau of Investigation or Army Intelligence.
 There were two theories.
 One was that it was fired by a German spy attempting to kill the nations outstanding ordnance ex- pert
 The other was that the shot was fired by some Army fof1cer, enlisted man or civilian employe who was examining pistol and discharged it accidentally.
 The theory that the shot was fired in an attempt to kill Barnes was based on the fact that he was be- hind most of the Army's gun and tank developments prior to World War II.

An estimated 100000 of the 403,- 900 veterans now taking on-the-job training may be forced to accept a cut in their present monthly in- comes. The new law Is that which passed Congress on August 1st with out debate or hearings and places a ceiling of $175 month on the combined earnings and subsistence allowance of single veterans ($20O month for those married) taking on-the-job training or attending school. The Veterans Administra- tion promised not to delay their August 3lst checks, but warned that if they are subject to the cut in allowances they will owe some of their check to the Government and, over reasonable period of time, will be expected to return 1t.
 The recent legisla tion providing for pension increases that was sign ed by President Truman a short time ago will not go into effect un- til September 1st, and payment will not begin until October 1st. The legislation insures a blanket 20 per cent cost living increase in all regular pensions for 100000 veter- ans of both World Wars and 400,- GOO of their dependents. Ceilings have been removed on dependents pension so that widows of veterans of both World Wars can now draw full payments for their minor chil- dren regardless of number.
 The Army Air Forces will have their own ROTC in nearly 100 Arn- erican colleges this fall. This course is designed to provide a steady flow of regular and reserve officers to the Army Air Forces. Although re- stricted to about 16,OOO trainees this fall, it is hoped to include about 50000 college men in the future.
 Already certain So-called Amer jeans are attempting to capitalize on the recently signed terminal leave bill by turing veterans into paying fees to have their terminal leave applications processed. Vet erans paying for such services are merely throwing their money away. Recognized veterans organizations will do the same thing at no charge. Although applications have not as yet been received, there is no par ttcular hurry since all bonds will be dated as of the date of discharge.
 President Valasco Ibarra of Ecua- dor recently signed a law encour- aging American immigration to that country through grants of l24 acres of potential farming land plus homesite rights in villages for the sum of S65 Approximately l24,00O acres in the Domingo de Los Colo rados area on the western slopes of the Andes make up the area re- served by the Ecuador government for North America and British cit izens.

vehicle a trio of Italian Partisans Just as the arrest was being made, a streetcar came along and the con- ductor, apparently believeing the Germans had retaken Rome, stopped the trolley and dashed over to give his fellow countrynen a hand. As result, the scene had to be re- taken.
 The lead roles are played by some of Italy's foremost stage and screen stars, including Anna Magnani, Aldo Fabrizi, Marcello Pagliero, Giovanna Galletti, Mario Michi, Henry Feist and Nando Bruno. The script was written by Sergio Amidei and Frederico Fellini. Miss Mag mani, incidentally, gives one of the finest performances of her career in the film. Portraying poor Roman widow helping her anti-Fascist f. ance in his work against the Nazis, her sympathetic character is indeed highlight of the picture. Miss Magnani, like many others in the cast, is noted for her work on the Italian stage.
