 Lana Turner came up with an announcement the other day that she's through with glamour roles." T got a big chance to do some real acting in The PoStman Always Rings Twice." she said, land I'm not going to slip back if can help it."

But If she wants to be convincing, 1t strikes me that Lana would be wise to live a bit more seriously" off-screen, as well as before the cameras.

She announced that her entire sal- ary Gin her case, that means plenty) will be turned over to the club to help finance its work of finding homes for orphaned children and providing proper medical attention for the under-privileged.

 I see by the trade papers that a certain producer who makes a spec ialty of pictures exposing" things, is now going to film one exposing fascistic organizations in America. I have no brief against that-but I wonder why no Hollywood "expos- CT" has yet taken the path of least resistence and produced picture about the dangers of Communistic infiltration. His research problem would be SO much simpler for he wouldn't need to go out of Holly wood for his appalling facts.

Russia Not Pushing PhiZOsObhy-MiSSN NOar

The claim that Russia is attempt ing to force her political philosophy upon countries, bordering the Soviet Union, was vigorously repud1ated last night by Miss Bernice Noar, a member of the Council of Amer Soviet Friendship in an ad- dress last night before the Water bury Junior Women's Club.
 The speaker labeled that report pure propaganda" pointing out that the Russians have asserted that Communism cannot be ex- ported to other countries. In the last CzechoslovaKian election, the Communists were defeated"
 Miss Noar charged that the minds of the world is being poisoned by "a mass of erroneous reports and twisted facts which are pouring forth every day through the press and radio" She said as far back as 1883, well known educators, such as the president of Smith College and Dean Gildersleeve of Barnard were W dI IllIlS, llldt t4IC t1AIlC4 ANclA4 E1NOJ-N would have to pay for the misrep- resenta ton against the Soviet. She further charged that William l. White had mentally written" his "Iron Curtain" long before his visit to Russia.
 Striding Toward Democracy Maintaining that the Soviet Union is striving toward the same world condition as the United States, she explained that the Sovi- ct interprets democracy not only as method of voting, but as broth erhood in action"
 The five democracies, she contin- ued, are political, educational sex, economical and racial.
 In economic democracy, the Sovi- ct Union believes in system of production for use and without ownership of production, she said.
