The miners ration for January amounted to 3,606 calories per day as much as a French miner gets. While others get only l,56l calor- ieS, French Gov. Gilbert Grandval of the Saar told neWspapermen it was no secret that the miners shared their rationS with their relatives and that the whole popu- lation ultimately benefited and for non-miners the official bread ration alone jumped from about II pounds for the month of October to about 27 pounds for January. The coal ration is almost as big as in France.
 This is all the more striking be- cause the Saar was the most NaZi province in the French zone, in | terms of votes and members. More than 85 per cent of the population voted to become part of Nazi Ger many in 1885. The French admit that half the l, 800 original fore men and technicians still super viSing mine operations are eligible for purging under the anti-Nazi regulations-but there is nobody to replace them. Measures now are announced against 42l of i them, 150 to be fired and the rest denoted. Two concen r o n camps hold 900 Nazis.
 Restoration of democratic pro- cesses seems to be proceeding very slowly. Three political parties have been formed at the top-the Communists, Socialists and a Catholic party, all as yet un- named.
 French officials say the parties even have distinct programs on annexation-the Socialist for, the Communists against and the Cath olics straddling the issue. But workers we spoke to did not know about the parties, and the Gov ernor himself told neWspapermen: ] Trade union freedom was granted two and a half months ago but I am annoyed to note that after all this time there still is no union organization to deal with. i"
 Whatever the French are put ting into this territory, they are getting it back in production. The daily coal output rose from 1,5OO tons in July to 20,600 tons in De- cember, or 45 percent of prewar , production. They have got a blast furnace, two steel mills and IS machine works into operation. A total of Is percent of the coal is exported to France, 24 percent more to other Allied countries, 20 percent to other parts of Germany 1 and 40 percent remains to operate mines, factories and thermo-elec- tric plants (sending current into France) in the Saar itself. The Saar's industrial output caters to the needs of the entire, largely ag- ricultural French zone which in turn feeds the Saar. The Saarland- CTS produce less than one-fifth of their annual needs in food.
 But more important to the Saar- lander than the mines and metal works is the production of recon struction materials. Of more than 230,000 dwellings which existed before the war the Saar has only

sion, he cannot deny it the right to
say that men are heels, or fools,
emotionally immature, or at least
callously stupid.
On the other hand, he is impelled
by a fundamental loyalty to his kind
to deny that the situation is as black
as it is painted.
His resort in such a case Is to fall
back increasingly upon Hollywood, s
own phrase, "woman's picture"
Experience is likely to teach him
that is an altogether inadequate
escape. Instead of being regarded
as descriptive phrase. It is looked
upon as a slur on the whole Of
womankind. He becomes almost in
stantly a bigger heel than the black
guard in the picture he is talking
about.
whats wrong with women's
pictures?" all women suddenly want
to know.
The obvious answer is, Nothing
for women" but that merely lends
to further and more furious con-
versation which any one in his
right mind would rather avoid.
An illustration of the widening
breach between the sexes over such
screen fare is the effect of the re-
cent Barbara Stanwyck-G George
Brent starrer, MY Reputation"
A survey, a little survey, mind
you, indicates that MY Reputation"
came to the male critics as COM
plete surprise. That it had been a
best-selling novel among their
mothers, wives, sweethearts, daugh-
ters and female cousins never even
occurred to them to judge from the
reviews.
The reviews were equally unani-
nous in another quality, more i'm
portant one. That was in the male
critics total inability to accept Miss
Stanwyck as a woman worthy Of
sympathy. True, she had lost her
husband, who apparently was an at
tractive chap and quite lively to
have around, but a lot of women
were much worse off in the con-
temporary world.
Comparatively speaking, an ig-
noble male trick perhaps, they de-
tected a number of assets which
Miss Stanwyck apparently was neg
lecting to count. There were such
items as two handsome sons, a
lovely home in the country, at least
one servant, station wagon, a
swimming pool on the place, a game
room, apparently all the money she
needed, and the solicitude of the
city's best coutouriers. These mere
ly took care of Miss Stanwyck's ma
terial needs, to be sure, but in ad-
dition she had the attention of Mr..
Brent. who, if he did not like the
idea of marriage, was some one to
60 to night clubs with.
The male who ventured to make
these points in defense of a natural
male point of view on such things
found himself in quite a spot.
He can be warned right now that
he won't be getting off that spot for
months if Hollywood's thought con-
tinues to turn as at present on the
subject of love. Brent was a mild
offender in provoking woman movie
goers to tears by not marrying Miss
Stanwyck in the first reel and get
ting it over with.
Wait until you see the heels who
are yet to come.
