there is suggestion of the latter in
the picture at the Capitol, it is in
the casting of Lana Turner and John
Garfield in the principal roles. But
why should not the studio have cast
them as Cora Smith and Frank
Chambers. They are naturals for
the parts. Every producer type
casts. Since both come through
with the best performances of their
careers, what is wrong with their
having the additional virtue of being
boxoffice insurance?
The answer is that nothing is
wrong.

open City," Superlatively praised
for months before it reached WASH
lngton, and the Little Theater, was
under the handicap of having to
live up to the years most lavish
superlatives bestowed upon a foreign
picture. To account for that enthu-
Slasm, there is a drama somewhat
beyond even that of the narrative
unfolded on the screen. It height
ems the force of open City" as a
story of anti-Nazi resistance to
realize that it was planned and
prepared almost under the noses of
the Germans who are its villains.
Its outstanding quality is the brutal
realism with which it speaks, which
makes it by far the most realistic,
documentary-like account yet given
of what it was like to fight the
Germans bare-handed.

The chief distinction of From
This Day Forward" Keith's hold
over, is that standard screen fare
does not have to be trite merely be-
cause it is standard. The most hack
neyed of all cinema tales-this is
the one about youthful marriage
and its joys and travails-can be
saved from itself if only it is in
vested with charm. It needs only
to look something like life, a little
shabby and little beautiful, and
audiences will fall in love with it
as easily as the hero falls in love
with the heroine. The charm in this
case derives largely from the per-
formances of Joan Fontaine and
Mark Stevens in the romantic roles.
Stevens, by the way, is one of the
most competent additions to the
leading male gallery in Hollywood
in the postwar period.

 Plot Broken

Detroit, June 25 - (UP) - Twenty of 31 persons indicted on charges of conspiring to operate the largest used car black market in history pleaded guilty today be- fore Federal Judge Arthur A. Kos cinSki.
 Seven other pleaded not guilty and the remaining two were severed from the trial by court order.

Bikini Area Restricted

Aboard USS. Mt. Mckinley at Bikini, June 25-(UP)-Vice Adm. w. H. Blandy, commander of the Operations Crossroads" project, declared the Bikini area out of bounds today for all foreign ships and aircraft and warned he would use force if necessary to keep lir- authorized craft away.
 With bomb scheduled to be drop ped in only six days, Blandy said in response to a question at a press conference that airplanes not con- nected with Operation Crossroads would be unwelcome in these parts from today on.
 If any ship actually tries to in- terfere with these tests in any way" Blandy said, i've would use force to see that they did not interfere. We would escort them out forcibly if necessary"
 Asked what would hapen if an unauthorized plane flew over Bikini. Blandy said, it would be too bad for that plane"
 He went on to say in connection with the possible appearance of for- eign ships that he did not anticipate any such interference.
 Blandy again expressed his pleaS- ure over the success of yesterdays full-dress preview of the atomic air drop and said that task force one was ready for next Monday.

Injunction Sought C.LO. Adds Pickets Before Niles Plant

, Hartford, June 25-(UF0 --Pickei lines at inc Niles-Benent-P Pond Company, at West Hartford were extended today as the C.I.O. United Electrical, Radio & Machine Work CTS continued its appeal to Federal District Court to issue an injunc- tion restraining State and West Hartford officials from interfering with union strike activities.
 Union Publicity Director Lewis A. Kingsbury said that % instead ot the normal 15 pickets were assigned to the main gate in view of testi- mony given before Judge J. Joseph Smith by State Police Commission CT Edward J. Hickey that there was no law limiting the number of pick cts. The Commissioner said that 1t was conceivable" that more than Is pickets could demonstrate peace fully and orderly.
 In his testimony, Hickey said that he and Gov. R. E. Baldwin issued joint order covering the Miles, Bement-POnd case in which the number of pickets was limited to Is and the picketing of private homes was prohibited.
 Peace Preached
 The arrests made as result of the picketing of the home of H. D. Tanner, a company official, said Hickey, were for breach of peace and not for violation of the joint order.
 Asked what he meant by breach of peace, Hickey replied walking on the sidewalk in front of MT. Tanners house and carrying a ban ner."
 As for restrictions against park ing in the plant area, Hickey said that If it was circus we would have had the same restrictions.
 He said that State Police were called to the scene by West Hart ford authorities who reported that the situation at the plant gates had gotten out of hand.
 Governor TeStifies
 Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin was a witness in the unions injunction action and he testified that when you go out and picket a mans home and interfere with his right of egress and ingress into private home, I think you are threatening the most sacred thing in American life. A war was fought around the principle that a man should be secure in his own home, with his papers and effects safe against in- timidation and seizure.
 T consider this unlawful instru- ment and seizure. I think that in the eyes of the public they (the union) were making a great mis- take. N. The union was getting on dangerous ground. I think you have got to draw the line some- where"
 The Governor said that by pick eting of private homes you aren't using reasonable means of per- suasion. You're holding him up to fear and public scorn. You're not appealing to his reason, you're ap- pealing to his sense of fear"

 eqotiote

Jerusalem, June 25-CUP)-Se. cret negotiations for the release oli three British officer hostages held by Irgun Zvai Leumi, militant Jew. ish underground army, were be- lieved in progress today.
 Usually well-informed quarters predicted the IrgunistS would free their prisoners when the right time comes" They previously had threatened to kill them.
 Possible release of the hostages was closely tied to a pending Britt ish decision whether to execute two Irgun members under death sen- tenceS, and to the fate of 30 Irgun- ists on trial before a British court for extremist operations. If con- victed, the 30 might receive death sentences.
 British troops and police made a midnight raid on Rehovot, south- east of Tel Aviv, in search of the three prisoners. Arriving in scores of trucks and armored cars, the search made a house-to-house hunt along three miles of the main road.
 Several arrests were made, but no incriminating evidence was re- ported.

Supply Ebbs More Us. Packers Close Meat Plants
(By United Press)

More packing plants were closed today as the Department of Agri- culture predicted that the nations meat supply would hit an all-time low this week and next.
 Thousands of retail butchers across the country reported that their counters were bare. Many had closed.
 Meanwhile, the Government moved to ease the meat shortage in mining areas after coal miners threatened to strike because of the scarcity of meat. \
 Depends on Price Pact
 Spokesmen for the Agriculture Department believed that the shortage would continue for two or three weeks. They predicted, how ever, that once the fate of price control is decided the meat supply will return to near normal.
 Even if price ceilings are main- tained, they believed, farmers who hvae been withholding their cattle from market in hopes of a price in crease will resume shipments.
 The American Meat Institute, which represents the meat packers, disagreed. The Meat Institute be- lieved that if the price ceilings are kept the meat shortage will con- tinue.
 A survey showed that hundreds of mining towns were short of bread and fresh meat. At Pittsburgh; off, cialS of the United Mine workers, (AF.L0, said that the shortages might soon result in work stop- pages. .-
 '"The miners need meat" they said.
 Five Plants Close
 The latest packing shutdowns were reported at Washington, D. C., and Philadelphia, where five plants suspended operations.
 Officials of John Morell and Com- pany announced that 500 employees of the Ottumwa, Ia., plant and been laid of, along with 1000 at the To- peka, Kans., plant, where all slaughtering had been stopped.
 At Chicago, three major packers Armour, Swift and Wilson-bought only eight head of cattle yesterday. Swift purchased five, Wilson three and Armour none. Swift's normal purchases for this time of year are 700 head daily.
 Chicago's Union Stockyards re- ceived 10000 head of cattle yester- day, but most of 1t went to eastern purchasers who frequently have been accused of black market .oper- ations. Hog receipts totaled 1000, smallest shipment on record for a Monday.

Five Copone
 Thugs Sought

Chicago, June 25-(UP)-Police fearing sudden outbreak in the long -smouldering war for control Of Chicago gambling, sought five for mer leaders of the old Capone mob today for the ambush shooting Of James M. Ragen, ST., wealthy ty- coon of racing information.
 Ragen was shot and seriously wounded last night when he stopped his sleek, silver-colored car for a red light at a busy intersec- tion. The shots came from a dilapidated fruit truck covered with a tarpaulin which hid the assallants and their weapons.
 Police said the shooting was carefully planned and executed with typical gangland technique. The camouaaged truck, however, was an innovation in Chicago shootings, and led police to believe that the gunmen had been inn ported.
 The shooting was the second at tempt on Ragen's life in seven weeks. Police believed it marked renewed efforts by former hench- men of Scarface Al Capone to mus cle into control of Ragen's lucra- tive news service which supplies race results to gambling centers.
 Accordingly, detectives sought for questioning five Capone stalwarts: Hymie Loud Mouth" Levin, Jake Greasy Thumb" Guzek, Murray ''The Camer Humphreys, Joseph Marcangelo and Tony Accardo, sometimes called Joe Eaters.
