HOLLYWOOD, July 24-I'm flab- bergasted by subterfuge suggested by Joseph Breen, administrator of the film industry's moral code, to the heads of the studios.
 A conference was called by Breen, at which was discussed the nation wide uprising against immortality on the screen and in movie advertis- ing. Breen told producers that par ents, church groups and civic or ganizations were flooding the Eric Johnston office with stinging critic ism.
 What makes me boil is the fact that Breen, according to press re- ports, told the producers that he neither wanted nor intended to en- force more rigid moral code over stories with sex themes" and The would not forestall production of picture simply because it's hero or heroine was of questionable virtue" !"
 He only said that such films should be Spread out, to avoid reaching theaters simultaneously" He also suggested that no studio should make more than one or two lndelicate motion pictures in a single season" In other words, he cid not ask the industry to reform. He merely voiced plan to ward off criticism by spreading the release of rlsque movies so thinly that the public would not act against them.
 Such move would be pulling the wool over the public's eyes If that public is wise, it won't submit to the idea. Risque films, whether spread over year or released with in a period of a few months, are harmful to the morals of Americas children. If the industry is truly concerned over keeping the screen clean. why make risque movies al all2

NEW PICTURE

Now that I'm back in Holly wood, I've started work on my new picture. In this one I play the part of hard-boiled private detective Sort of an Allan Ladd with eggs. They wanted Dick Powell for the part, but my head was harder.
 It's a real rough and tough part. In fact, I had to fight the producer to get it My makeup man worked on me for hours try ing to make me look tough but he finally gave up The silly boy was trying to flatten my nose!
 The name of the picture is My Favorite Brunette" |. And I don't mean my butcher. I play opposite Dorothy Lamour, but with her in the picture I don't find much time to follow the criminals. I did some very torrid love scenes with Dotty un- til she found out I tempered with the script.
 I really take beating in the first scene. I don't mind getting slugged and kicked when the role calls for it .. But when the director pitches in and helps. -. That's too much.
 Naturally, I catch the murderer and it's very exciting when I chase him down a dark alley. It was confusing, though =. When I had cornered him in the alley, he pulled out pair of nylons.
 You'll see new Bob Hope in this picture. I play hard to get. It's new to me, but it's easy. -. Lamour doesn't wear a sarong in this one.

WASHING MACHINES

The standard washingmachine,
with two speeds, may be a bet
ter buy than the automatic wash
er which washes, rinseS and
spins the water out of the

the automatic machine, also
strong water pressure, SO make
sure your water supply is ade-

Diet, dress for
hot summer days
By DIR. CAROLINE TREE

CDR. Caroline Tree is the pen
name of a woman physician who
has had considerable profession
al experience in the care and
feeding of children. She is also
the mother of two small chill
dren.)
HOT summer days are hard on
children as well as mothers. Here
are few suggestions 10 make
sultry days easier:
Use only light clothing. Be-
tween regular meals, offer fire.
quently small amounts of water,
fruit juices and milk. Keep meals
light: avoid overlooking. Milk
should be kept very cold. Ere
quent bathing is soothing and
comforting.
Sunburn is a common miShap.
Do not apply oily medicines to
burned skin. Mild sunburn may
be treated with compress of
cool baking soda water. Severe
sunburn, especially if it covers
a large part of the body and is
blistered, should be treated by
a doctor.
PRICKLY heat is fine. red
spots, which come out first on
the neck or chest, and then may
spread all over the body. II is
treated by often wiping the skin
with water; the skin should then
be dried well, and then powdered
with baking soda or starch.
Light clothes should be worn.
Wooden clothes and blankets
should not touch the skin.
Summer diarrhea is a sign of
a general body infection, or is
caused by spoiled or indigestible
food. 1t is more common and
usually more serious under two
years of age.
If little child has diarrhea he
should be kept in bed, and away
from other people, especially
from other children. He should
not get any solid food for II to
"a hours, but can have small
amounts of liquids as often as ne
wants.
DO NOT give a child with diar-
rhea any laxatives (not even cas-
tor OLD or any drugs. Call your
doctor to find and treat the cause
of the diarrhea.
Infantile paralysis is greatly
feared by many parents who 10
not realize that even in an cpl
demic only a handful of children
get the disease. The number Of
those seriously or permanently
crippled is small.
Infantile paralysis starts with
fever, headache. vomiting, sleepi.
ness and fretfulness, and stiff
neck. Proper medical and good
nursing care in the early stages
of the disease gives the best re.
suits.

Potatoes are plentiful this
season and of good quality.
For this reason we are urged
to buy more potatoes and to
frequently substitute them for
cereal and bread. This will en-
able the government to send
more-grain overseas for famine
relief. Potatoes cannot be used
for this purpose as they do not
have the necessary storing

is much more subtle than generally

People who visualize Prime

OF course. the policy of Com

policy of the Kremlin. Events OF
the past two years make that amply

this is brought about through de-

vastly underestimates the vitality
and energy of the Communist move
ment.
Communist politicians don't get
minute instructions for their daily
work because they don't need them
They know their jobs. They know
what is expected of them. They
know their Marxist dogma, and they
know how this theory has been i'm

and Stain. In short, they are cogs
In the huge Communist machine.
Marshal Tito, for instance, got his
first lessons in Communist revolu-
tionary technique when he fought
with the Red Army in the last year
of World War I. He previously had

Devoted Life to Revolution.
From that time Tito devoted his
life to the revolution. He was SEN
fenced to prison in his native Croa-
tia for Communist agitation. He was
an important cog in the Com
munist organization which smuggled
men from the Balkan countries to
fight on the side of republican Spain
in that countrys civil war.
He was living the life of fugitive
in Yugoslavia when the Germans
marched in in 1941. His whole adult
life was a preparation for the role
he was to play when opportunity
presented.
