figures, strikes and resulting price
increases.
THE PUBLIC is aware that,
with or without OPA, general
wage increases, not backed by in
creased production, mean higher
prices-with no particular benefit
to any of the parties concerned,
and with serious inflationary ef-
fects on the economy as a whole" p"
STRIKES, by cutting down pro-
duction, would have the same in
flationary effect, Mr.. Weisenburger
declared, concluding:
I'VE FIND NOTHING in Mr..
Nathan'S report to indicate how
production can be maintained or
improved.
SPECIFICALLY, he has no
recommendation as to how labor
disputes, which have been the ma
jor impediment to full production
in recent months, can be elimi-
mated.
THE REPORTS predictions
of huge increases in profits is pure
crystal gazing. 1t takes no account
of competition as a major factor in
! holding down prices.

tition may be expected to domi-
nate the situation now that decOn-

Newfoundland Lets
Trappers Take Beavers

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland-(P)
For the first time in 23 years the
Newfoundland government has de-
cided to permit the hunting of bea-
yer, which in 1923 were threatened
with determination.
The government, estimating that
the beaver population now has
reached $4,000, has decided to issue
beaver hunting licenses to about
900 trappers. Each will be allowed
Otake 10 pelts. which will be
turned over to the department of
natural resources for marketing
On delivery, the trapper will be
paid SIS a pelt-the balance after
marketing. 1t is estimated that
each pelt will bring about $40.

FOR THOUGHT
CHRISTMAS SWEETS
by Mary Il. Davenport, NutritiOnist
State Board OF Health

With sugar supplies still low,
and many family stocks exhausted.
there need be no shortage of
Christmas sweets. There are many
recipes using little or no sugar
which yield delicious products. The
nutritionists delight in these al
ternateS to the usual sugar high
recipes because they contain fruits
and nuts which offer fine cOntribu-
tions to ones diet.
There is an added benefit for the
candy maker in these Sugar-lOw
CONNECTIONS. This is their low risk
of failure. A mixture of chopped
fruits and nuts stands no chance
of becoming "sugary" nor having
to be recOoked.
Stuffed dates:

stuff them with mixture OF
chopped nuts, apricots and figs.
Partisan Sweets:

figs, dates and nnts. Mix we'll.

The theory that wages car

Nathan report to the CIO, is
when first promulgated a year
THIS ASSERTION came last
week from Walter B. Weisen-
burger, executive vice president of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, who termed the report
IAN invitation for new round of
wage. demands, possibly followed
by another series of serious
strikes" and certain to result in
unwarranted price increases.
THE ANALYSIS prepared for
the CIO by Mr.. Nathan dwells on
the decline in real weekly cram
ings,' - Mr.. Weisenburger pointed
out "The facts are that since 1888
weekly earnings of factory en-
ployees have doubled, while the
cost of living has increased less
than so per cent. Does this look
like a decline in real earnings?"
THE NAM OFFICIAL recalled
that Mr.. Nathan was an economist
of the OWMR at the time of the
preparation last year of study
which concluded that wage in
creases could be granted without
increasing prices and continued:
1T is A SHAME that another
statistical monkey wrench has
been tossed into the nations pro-
ductive machinery just as we are
recovering from similar round
of wage demands backed by phOny

a private world and always wants
to go to Providence, r. l., for rea-
son that Is never explained-and
may not be explainable.
Instead Of loving the child, who
frankly is difficult, Payne looks
upon her with an icy, jealous hate
Her imagination tortureS him, prob
ably an effect Of his having to deal
too much with the imaginations OF
those playwrights whose works he
directs. He finds her repugnant in
a rowboat on Central Parks lagoon,
and even more repugnant when
she sits looking out the apartment
window and dreaming of ProW-
dence, r. I.
It is quite obvious that in adopt
ing the child, the dying wife clearly
misunderstood her husband. That
never truly dawns upon her, not
even when the husband is driven
virtually insane by the wife's effort
to train the child to bring the play
directors breakfast to him in bed.
Her idea, of course, is that the
child shall carry on-in a duplicate
negugee the morning routine
after she has gone.
There is no purpose to be served
by carrying on the story from there.
On the other hand, it would not be
a violation of any rule about voiding
the suspense Of the story. "Senti-
mental Journey" never bothers about
suspense. Every twist of the plot is
not merely telegraphed, but bill
boarded.
In being a sad picture which
never permits normal conduct to
any one involved in it, Sentimental
Journey" rarely pauses for a comic
aside that might relieve its strain.
Its one concession is the use of
William Bendix as a kind of hu-
manist from Brooklyn who buys
fantastic toys for little Connie and
eventually makes the erring direc-
tor see what an imbecile he is be-
ing in treating the child as If she
were a viper.
The rest Of the performers resemble
nothing so much as puppets who
have no minds to put into their
work, and who probably would be in
a bad state If they did.
Such fortnight tear-jerker,
Hollywood has not previously at
tempted. 1t should not-ever.
Evening star., 1946-03-29

one of those overdone hunks of adult
writing which embarrass the imagi-
nations Of children.
AS participant in the grand pas
sion which Sentimental Journey
tries to be, Payne has one of the
least happy roles plausible looking
fellow ever fell into. The simple
equation of the script for showing
how much he loved Miss O'Iara
who has died by this time, is in its
revelation of how much he abhors
poor little Connie, whom the couple
had adopted. Instead OF being the
survivor of deep, noble love, he
resembles nothing so much as q
heartlesS heel. That cannot possibly
have been what the creators of "Sen-
timental Journey" had in mind, but
that is what they have got in the
character portrayed by Payne. Incl
dentally, he is impersonating a sue
cessful play director in the legiti-
mate theater. The type is not neces-
sarily noble for its great love fol
humanity, but it is to be defended
against the impression left by Payne
X X X X
Nelia Gardner Whites original
story for Sentimental Journey, y
which incidentally plays the song
to Miss OHara's death, was about
two people supposedly deeply in
love.
Miss O'Hara is one, stunning
looking, popular actress. She is
doomed to early death. She has q
heart condition. She also has an
idea that her husband payne, you
know will need a child to watch
over him when she no longer can

and he obviously Is an author to
avoid the heresy of making life any
different in the jungle world. There
is a wee intimation that Young reads
PM on the side, but not too serious
ly. At any rate, the Leopard wom-
an-who probably is one Of the 10
most piquantly dressed females in
the worlds not just a demon for
the sake of being one. In defending
her Baganda tribal territory, she
thinks she is keeping the white man
from robbing the leopard people OF
their liberty and the produce OF
the jungle.
Tarzan, Of course, teaches her and
her people that they have been the
victims Of some artful, but false
propaganda; that the white man
is really a nice fellow and should
not be clawed to death by natives
impersonating leopards.
The process Of civilizing the leop-

is not, and of impersonating ghost,
which she is entirely too ornate and
healthy to accomplish with any con-
viction. Whatever exercise Goth Gen.
tury-FoX had INF mind for your tear
ducts is likely to be experienced in
stead by the muscles you use in
yawning.
Samuel Hoffenstein and Elizabeth
Reinhardt are credited with the
story of Sentimental Journey" It is
unlikely that their typewriters pro-
duced any such emotional binge.
The guilt would rather seem to lie
with Miss O'Hara, Payne and Di-
rector Walter Lang, who seem to
have been seized with the notion of
turning romance between two art
lists into one of the great demented
passions of all time.
Whatever of actual drama it has

It may strike you that Tarzan, In
the opening passage Of "Tarzan and

sophisticated.
Pretty girl never unlucky," he
observes, for all the world as if he
had been making the rounds with
q nightclub columnist.
There Is q quick end to such sleazy
asides, however. The picture quickly
plunges back into the jungle where
Tarzan is completely his old self
again. Once back there among the
animals, the tree-houses, the out
door shower baths, the snakes and
the crocodiles, the latest chapter Of
Tarzan's saga Is in exactly the same
groove as its predecessors. That's
