FIRING ON THE
 GIRLS" FEATURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Paramount's loveliest girls can hold their own in any competition but when they're photographed in Technioolor for Bring On The Girls" arriving tonight at the 20th Century Theatre, the result is over whelming.
 Bring On The Girls" is star studded musical production with Marjorie Reynolds, Veronica Lake, Eddie Bracken and Sonny Tufts heading the cast.
 Set against a Navy background, Bring On The Girls relates the sad plight of Bracken who's got $200,000,000 and joins the Navy to | escape gold diggers. The first thing that confronts him is cigarette girl 1 Veronica Lake, a fortune hunting gal ready to take Eddie for ride. Sonny, Navy man, too, since hs was delegated to act as MT. Money bags' guardian, tries to break up the romance. He makes mistake, though. Sonny thinks Marjorie Reynolds is the cigarette girl and the fun begins and never lets up Between the comedy routines, a group of splendid production num- bers promises to entertain the fans and these routines are begged on such excellent musical numbers as Uncle Sammy Hit Miami" I'm Gonna Hate Myself In The Morn-
 ing" How'd You Like To Take
 My Picture" and You Moved
 Right In" and Bring On The
 Girls" Spike Jones and his City , Slickers do speciality number
 while Johnny Coy, newcomer puts on his dancing shoes and lets , himself go,
 The right combination seems to be the key highlight of Bring on The Girls" from all accounts and
 with the enormous supply of beau-
 tiful girls, lavish scenes in Techni-
 color and the artful direction by
 Lanfield, only the top kind of en-
 tertainment should be expected.

New Congress Battle
For Increase in Nayy
Funds Is Pledged
By the Assoeiotsd Pres,

The congressional drive to give
the Navy the extra $2,100, ,000, 600
1t wants gained momentum to-
day despite President Truman's
criticism of officials statements.
Lawmakers pledged a renewed
battle for the full So, ,325, ,000, 900 de-
scribed by Admiral Chester w. Nj
mitz as the minimum sum the Navy
needs to maintain a strong fleet.
The Budget Bureau slashed that
figure to $4,225, ,000, 900 and the Chief
of Naval Operations and other top
admirals have since told a House
Naval Affairs Committee inquiry
that this would require drastic re-
trenchments in fighting ships, man
power and research.
President Truman told his news
conference yesterday that the state
ment by the Navy was not in line
with the facts. He did not say
what statement he referred to, but
a White House official who demand
ed anonymity told a reporter later
the Chief Executive was Shoot

Budget Director to Explain.
The latter had told the House
committee that the projected cut
would jeopardize the Nations de-
fense and its position in world af-
fairs.
Saying there has been a misun-
derstanding that ought to be cleared
up, Mr.. Truman asserted that Bud
get Director Harold Smith will ap-
pear to explain the whole thing.
Chairman Vinson, who called the
Naval Affairs Committee inquiry,
refused comment on the Presidents
statement but he said Mr.. Smith
will be called, probably next week,
for a full explanation.
mot only Mr.. Smith," Mr.. Vinson
told reporters, but I'm also going
to ca. up all those other budget
officials who worked on the Navy
estimates"
Chairman Vinson and other COM
mittee members said they were un-
able to understand why the admin
istration deems draft extension so
vital when it contemplated such a
heavy Navy cut.
Strings Along With Nimitz.
As to choosing between a Navy or
Budget Bureau decision on what
kind of postwar feet the nation
needs, Representative Hebert, Dem
ocrat, Of Louisiana told reporter:
"I1l string along with Nimitz.'
Representative Bates, Republican,
of Massachusetts, recalled that Vice
Admiral G. F. Hussey, Navy ord
nance chief, had testified the Budget
Bureau heard him only three and a
half hours before pairing down funds
for naval research 48 per cent.
This boils down to the very seri-
Gus question" Mr.. Bates asserted,
"of whether we are going to let these
bookkeepers usurp the policy making
authority Of the Congress"
Representative Rivers, Democrat,
of South Carolina told reporters he
wanted to steer clear Of any argu-
ment with Mr.. Truman, but "ITl
stick by my statement that this
budget cut is just like dropping an
atomic bomb on the Navy"
