newspaper a gather in Washington. 1t all adds up to this:
The best informed men lin the nations capital do not believe there
is any great danger of a wal with Russia. That means they do not
anticipate third world war within the measurable future. g.
That's not the impression you get from reading the newspaper
headlines or listening in on the radio, but it represents the judgment
of men who should know.

Russia isn't in a position to start one, even if it were inclined to do S q.
A top-rankng military man, just back from the other side, said:
OF course, some fool O. either side may start something which would
infame public sentiment and preciptate another contest. This sort
of thing is always possible.
However, during World War II, Russia lost the cream of it's young
manhood; and a great portion of it's most valuable territory was ravaged
to a understandable extent.
Furthermore, while the Russians have made unusual progress
along many lines, their efficiency is pretty low. l think it is safe to
say n American worker can do a. much as three Russian workers.
"On top of all that, we have the atomic bomb and up to date
Russia has not solved that riddle. We do not want war, but don't let
anyone tell you w e are not prepared to slap back should someone
attack u.s."

'WEEK- END AT THE WALDORF"
AT THE KOOTENAI JUNE 1924
Ginger Rogers, Walter PidgeOn,
Lana Turner, Van Johnson Are
Starred in New MGM Hit

Lana Turner, Van Johnson Are
Starred in New MGM Hit
Check in at the worlds most fam
Gus luxury hotel with M-G-Ms all
time all-star cast in Weekend at
the Waldorf" which opens Sunday
and Monday, June % and "a at The
Kootenai Theatre. You'll have a
wonderful time.
The film stars Ginger Rogers,
Lana Turner, Walter Pidgeon and
Van Johnson, with Edward Arnold.
Robert Benchley, Phyllis Thaxter,
keenan, Wynn, Lima Romay and
Xavier Cugat and his orchestra.
It relates, primarily, the stories
of four persons. a glamorous. but
lonely, Hollywood star who has
everything she wants-except love;
a weary war correspondent relax
ing for a few days from the rigors
of the battlefield, a. public steno-
grapher with very private ideas
about love, and an Army ace about
to undergo major operation which
he may not survive.
Miss Rogers, as the movie star,
under hilarious circumstances, mis-
taking him, indeed, for a jewel
thief boy friend of her maid. At
the same time the flier, wishing to
make his will, finds in the steno-
grapher, portrayed by Miss Turner,
his one hope to live.
Around these four is built, in most
clever fashion, tale of intrigue in
volving Edward Arnold as a shady
operator in oil who is trying to swing
a deal involving millions of dol
lars and visiting Bey, a potentate
from the Near East. 1t is the shady
operator who almost blasts the
romance between the stenographer
and the flier, in the course of the
novel twist of the story.

Weekend at the Waldorf'-With-
out reservations. Make a date to
see it now.
