US. Slips On Wheat. Shipments

Washington, May = CUP) = The United States shipped only 100, 900 tons of wheat and flour to famine stricken countries in the first week of this month, falling l5O,00O tons short of its quota.
 This shipped tonnage was the equivalent of about 4,0O0, 900 bushels of wheat.
 The failure of this government to meet it's goal in the first week of May was announced by Acting Sec- retary of State Dean Acheson.
 He said this country sent overseas 25,OOO tons of wheat and 75 900 tons of flour in the week.
 The U. s. quota is 100000 tons for each of the months of May and July. In addition, this government has a deficit of between 600, 900 and SO,O0O tons that resulted from fail- ure to meet quotas during the first four months of the year.
 Acheson said that the shortage of l5O,OO0 tons amounted to the weekly bread ration for n ,6OO. 900 people. Tn Europe, he said. average bread con- sumption ran about two-thirdS of q loaf q day. The 15OOOO tons are equal to 330OO0,O 900 loaves. One of the chief reasons for the shortage in shipments was failure to get the wheat from the interior to ports, he said. There had been no diflculty in getting ships fol tranS-ocean shipment.

POLL

The Loew-Poli Theater presents today the opening of the new hit, ''Dragonwyck, starring Gene Tier ney, Glenn Langan and Vincent Price. With the tumultuouS acclaim for her sensational performance in Leave Her To Heaven" still ringing in her ears, Miss Tierney has come through with what preview critics consider her greatest dramatic triumph to date in 'FDragonwyck."
 In the new film, based on the fa- nous Anya Seton beSt-seller, Miss Tierney is seen in the role of Mir anda, the wistful and sensitive country girl who is gripped in the power of a secret love that leads to rapture and terror. Supporting her in featured roles are Walter Huston as Genes stern and stubborn fa- ther; Price as the imperious and egomaniacal master of DragonWyck; :; and Langan as the young Dr. Jeff Turner.
 In the supporting cast are Anne Revere, as Genes understanding mother; Spring Byington, as the housekeeper who sets the eerie mood of the Hudson River estate; little Connie Marshall, sensation of Sen timental Journey" as Prices un- loved daughter; and bass-voiced Henry Morgan, as the leader of the rebellious tenants.
 The companion feature is the re- conversion hit, Johnny Comes Fly ing Hope," with an outstanding cast headed by Richard Crane, Faye Marlowe, Martha Stewart and Charles Russell. This excitement- packed hit is the film story of three ex-aces and doll in dungareeS who find new thrills in the postwar sky and new romance under a postwar moon.

STRAND

Paulette Goddard, blue-eyed bru- nette with the golden sun-tan, has a word of advise for all young wo- men. Her counsel is-be true to yourself in what you think, what you say, what you wear, and espe- cially, in your use of makeup! Miss Goddard is well qualified to give this advice for her own spec tacular rise to film fame is based on these dicta.
 Miss Goddard, currently co-star- red with James Stewart in the gay musical, Jimmy Steps Out, now at the Strand Theater developed her practical philosophy of personal charm when she was still a strug- gling actress. Like many young girls" she says, T thought that to appear beautiful and attract atten- ton, had to make myself look as different as possible from the way nature intended me to be-"
 So she proceeded to tamper with the color of her hair and the shape of her eyes until she couldn't her. self recognize the original Paulette. When, however, she was signed to appear as Charlie Chaplin's leading lady in Modern Times" the role demanded utter simplicity of make Up and personality. She was then forcibly struck with the fact that her own natural loveliness needed only sensible application of make up.
 She soon found the shades of lip stick and rouge which were keyed to the color of her eyes and gave her a most flattering appearance. Her own beauty became apparent at once. Ever since then, Paulette has subscribed to a cult of simplicity as regards improving on nature plenty of sleep and fresh air, loads of sun-bathing and a well balanced diet. With good health as basis. no woman can fail to achieve at- tractiveness if she chooses clothes to suit her type and personality and doesn t fall for fads

HOLLYWOOD, May 8 - Don't misunderstood me; I have no wish to defend the advertising that How ard Hughes has reSorted to in ex- plotting his picture, The Outlaw" On the contrary, consider much of 1t an inexcuSable violation of good taste.
 But I can't help chuckling over the disciplinary action threatened against him by the Motion Picture Association of America. My chuckles are prompted by a careful perusal of the newspaper advertisements and billboards now being utilized to sell 'Gdlda" and Kitty" two cur- rent pictures which were produced by "members-in-g -good-Standing" of the same organization that is rak- ing Hughes over the coals Both campaigns-and both pictures, for that matter-are based on blatant exploitation of hot sex angles!
 Personally, I'd be much more inn pressed by the MPAA's indignant blast against Hughes, if were to see, also, concrete evidence of it's intention to clean up the production policies and sales methods of the major studios that dominate it's board of directors. The difference between Hughes sensational exploi- tation of ''The Outlaw" and the ads for ''Gilda" and Kitty" is merely difference in degree. Thus, the industry's indictment of Hughes SmackS more than a little of hy- pocrisy. It's like a man who's guilty of stealing chickens shouting that a horse thief should be lynched.
