AMERICAN MOVIES
EDUCATE GERMANS

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-W.H-Mors
than 800 movie houses in the Amer.
lean zone Of Germany today form
the foundations for a re-educatio-
program as big as any the Nazis
themselves ever attempted.
John LeFebre, head Of the State
departments film distribution ir
Europe. in an interview today TOLD
how the Allies are using movies
to make Germans see the light Of
democracy.
Every time German goes to the
movies, LeFebre said, ne learns o.
another Nazi lie. Every film shown
carries a message against Nazism
Under a new agreement, Amerl
can films will be shown in British
French and Russian zones as wei
as the American zone, LeFepre
said. All the allies will share films
in the progress, he said.
Casually, German theater bills
consist of three films, and they
really are interesting" LeFenre
said. sThe Germans see care
fully planned newsreel, a docu'
mentary short subject, and full
length feature.
The feature pictures are Ameri.
can hits such as Going My Way
sThe Human Comedy" or 100
Men and a Girl"
Newsreels include topics such as
the opening Of Germany's first free
schools or meetings Of allied lead.
ers in places like London which the
Nazis claim to have destroyed.
News shorts also feature the re.
construction work under way in
occupied and liberated areas.
We just give the lie to some
things the Nazis told Them" said
LeFebre, who was born in Ber-
lin. 1--WE even explain AMG rul-
ings by showing persons who are
fined for breaking the curfew or
some such thing"
At present, he said, the us. gov
eminent has supply Of 48 full
length features movies on hand in
Germany-enough to last until next
August. Fash movie is held for
one week in almost every taeater,
he said. The feature pictures, too,
are chosen for their democratic
message.
1.-THE Nazis persuaded the people
that we hated music" LeFebre
said. $50, many Of our pictures
are good musicals. Others get
across the benefits Of gentle Iv-
ing"
Almost every film is given test
run in a typical town before it is
distributed to the General public,
LeFebre said.
The films are distributed by the
army, under command Of Brig.
Gen. Robrt A. Mcclure. Chief film
officers work in Berlin, Munich and
Frankfort, LeFebre said. In every
district Of the American zone other
film officers supervise Germans
who actually distribute the films.
within six months, the Ger
mans should have materials to
make their own films" LeFebre
said. However, they will miss
their old screen heroes, for the
most part, because the AMG will
not permit Nazies to act up any
moreover on the screen"

NIGHT MAIL PICKUP
BY AIR PROMISED

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. s1-tP)-
A pioneer in the field Of airmai]
pickup service declared today that
speedy, airmail service will be
available to all rural areas and
small towns in the future.
Halsey R. Bailey, vice president
in charge Of operations Of All
American Aviation, Inc. said in
an interview that all American
plans to extend pickup service
throughout the east and that the
company plans to institute night
pickup routes.
Bailey, in describing pickup
service as the means Of expand
ing airmail, said AL American,
which he named as the only COM
pany in America now engaged in
pickup operations, plans to add
eight pickup routes to the five ii
now maintains.
Night pickups, Bailey said, "are
much easier and safer than day
time pickups. I made the first
night pickup myself and it is sun
prisingly simple
He stated that the experiment
was conducted in the winter of
1939-40 on the Pittsburgh-J ames-
town IN. W route and that visi-
bility was excellent because nine
neon lights were set up at pickup
posts. THE pilots" he said.
really enjoyed it,
Night pickups would be estab-
lished on some Of the new routes,
Bailey said. Civil Aeronutics Au-
thority approval would be required
for operation of the night pickups,
he said, explaining that the ini-
tial night route would operate
from Pittsburgh to Huntington, W.
Va, via alternate routes through
Elkins and Parkersburg, W. Va.
Earlier, Harry r. Stringer, vice
president in charge of treffic OF

BABSON PARK, Fla, Jan. 81
A friend of President Truman has
asked me to boost his Nationa
Health Program. No one appreci
ates more than I the importance
Of good health, having once beer
"given up for dead" in connection
with long sickness of tuberculo
sis. This is the reason why my
offices now are tout in the woods"
I still do much work out-of-doors
Naturally, I favor helping those
who are i'll to get needed time ane
money for sufficient rest, the bes
OF all remedies.
On the other hand, have learn
ed that financial aid is of little
value in keeping well and getting
well unless it is accompanied BY
self control. ALI doctors will agree
with this statement. Yes, self.
control is necessary in keeping
ones health, in keeping ones job,
and in keeping ones happiness,
President Truman should insist
that schools and colleges do more
to teach and develop self-control
Most people know what to do to
keep well. They know that they
should eat different food and eat
it more slowly and regularly; they
know that they should go to bed
earlier and sleep in good fresh air;
and they know that they should
keep their feet dry and do other
things that our mothers tried to
teach us. It is not knowledge or
money that most sick people lack;
but rather self-control.
We all need self-control to avoid
being careless, lazy and indiffer-
ent about the important things Of
life. We need self-control to de.
velop good habits and to avoid
bad or careless habits. Our habits
are the most important factor in
enjoying good health and good
jobs.
Too many Of my readers are
content to drift along at their
present jobs and depend upon
labor leaders, friends, or others
for advancement. When was
young, most Of us wanted oppor-
tunities. and laughed at those
few people who wanted security.
Today, however, most people seem
to want security; they lack the
sef-control necessary for getting
better opportunities, more pro-
motions and higher wages.
A foreman must have self
control to keep tit physically and
mentally 50 as to concentrate on
his work; self-control to make
friends and self-control to never
lose his temper. II he expects to
someday 60 into business for him.
self, he must also have self-con-
troll to save money, with the help
Of a good wife. The determining
factor of whether a man will some.
day be an employer, or must al.
ways work for someone else, is
this mans ability to save money.
The man who constantly saves
money, can ultimately become
an employer; but the one who does
not save money, must always
work for someone else.
Speaking of money reminds me
Of the need of sef-control in sue
cessful investing. It is not diff.
cult to pick out good stocks. A
few weeks ago I gave a list Of Is

More than six out Of every ter
voters polled from coast to coast
say they approve in general Of the
way Mr.. Truman is handling his
LOB in the White House. This com.
pares with a favorable vote Of
more than eight in every ten in a
similar poll conducted two months
after he assumed office.
The drop in Mr.. Tru1nan's popu
larity has come about mainly, the
survey finds, because of changed
attitude among Republican vot.
ers, i.e., people who voted the
COP presidential ticket in 1914
IA large majority of these started
out with a high regard for Mr..
Truman, but have altered their
views in recent months as politi.
cal party lines became more tight.
ly drawn with the ending of the
war and problems on the home
front have multiplied. Most Of the
Republicans who now indicate
friendliness toward Mr.. Truman
would not vote for him anyway in
preference to a Republican can
didate. The politically significant
thing about the poll is how Mr..
Truman stands with his own party.
There has been much smaller
drop in his popularity with Demo
Gratis than with Republicans.
The coumtry's attitude toward
Mr.. Truman may be seen in the
