NANKING, China.-Pleas by

Last meeting of this commit

once more to be used as bat

against the Soviet Union.
In accordance with the recent
agreement between Washington
and the Swiss Government, a
part of the Nazi assets in Swift
erland were to be divided in
equal parts between the Swiss on
the one hand and the British and
the Americans on the other.
Washington and London, in re-
ceiving this money. were also to
be acting as trustees for the 9TH
er Allies who were at war with
Germany. So far, the Russians
have made no demand for psrti-
cipation in the distribution OF
these assets, although the ques-
ton of Germany's financial dis
armament is of extreme interest
to them from the point of view
of security.
FIFTY-SIX percent of that part
of the assets to be surrendered
are to go to Great Britain and
the United States and the other
forty-four percent to the other
Allies. The point is that no eff

an approximately accurate figure

he has been told that he will be
able to return soon to Germany

There is also reason to believe
that the l. G.. chemical trust in
Switzerland is now engaged in
experiments and manufacture
relating to atomic energy. Every
one in Paris was satisfied that
part of the two billion dollars o.
German money in Switzerland
would be used for the purpose of
making atomic energy expert

MEANWHILE, the Sandoz

was the subject of everyone's

is Mr.. Walter Stuck, who was

Matthew w. Bullock figured

sentence to life imprisonment OF

as to express doubt as to the
guilt of the convicted man and
declared that the evidence was

A new idea has come to Warner
Bros. in its program to build up
the largest talent roster in the mo-
ton picture industry.
The idea relates to the establish
ment of series of showcase pro-
ductions, the first of which will be
a series of one-act plays and Sc
quences from Broadway successes.
1t will be presented at the studio
in Hollywood on Wednesday next.
Showcase productions will be pre-
sented in a theater but little larger
than the standard studio screening
room. Audiences will be limited to
a maximum of 100, composed of
company executives, directors, pro-
ducers and writer's. AS a variant of
the screen test which is almost as
old as the movie camera, the new
plan is believed to be superior in
that it will provide ambitious per-
formers with live audiences.
In the words of Jack L. Warner:
Warner talent scouts throughout
the world are alert for promising
talent. Those found to have the
necessary qualities will be brought
to the studio and groomed. If they
are star material, they will become
stars here"
A nice place to become a star.
