Sanitation Factor in
Army's Health Record

Adequate and modern plumbing in
U. 5. army camps, bases, hospitals,
on ships and in war industries is
playing an important part in main
tanning the finest wartime health
record in all history.
The decision of military and naval
officials to provide good plumbing
facilities is based on their knowl-
edge that war is rs per cent an en-
cheering and sanitary problem and
less than IS per cent a military and
naval one. In his book Rats, Lice
and History" Hans Zinsser says,
Other things being equal, that
army will win which has the best
engineering and sanitary services"
In President Truman's recent
war revfew message he SAID: Since
the INVASION Of Africa in November.
1912, IN 1i' our operations in
Europe and IN Africa. we have lost
about 1000 soldiers from sickness.
In the Civ. ar, the Enron forces,
never more tan a third as large as
our forces IN Europe, had 224. 900
deaths from sickness. In the three
years since April, 1912, the army
forces in the disease-infested is
lands Of the Pacific lost fewer than
l 400 men from sickness"

'6-FOOt Crash
Leaves Trick
Plane Wreck
By the Associofed Press
HOLLYWOOD.


AS usual, Hollywood does the un-
usual. An airplane which has been
f1ying-or at least existing-for 20
years has been wrecked in fall
from a sound stages hydraulic hoist.
The movies didn't, once upon
time, like to disclose some of the
devices by which they get trick
shots. But most of those scenes in
plane, with the pilot perspiringly
white while he watches his altimeter
needle spin, are photographed at an
altitude of six feet or so.
Towering Sterling Hayden, for
scene in Paramount's Blaze of
Noon" was presumably sailing along
in full flight, engine racing. Then
the cable broke. He and the plane
bounced to a crash landing from
just six feet up.
But the propeller was spinning
at brisk rate. And the light Pit
cairn mailwing, of 1926 manufac-
ture, was scrambled quite a bit
under the impulsion of its own
threshing screw.
The studio is mostly concerned
about the loss of the prop. 1t has
several such planes, but only two
of the now-obsolete spinners remain
from eight on hand when the film
started. Prop Man Chats more

How to Write Movies
By SheiIoh Grohom

i, into Cary Grant. I'D seen his pic
ture, Suspicion the night before
and I told him, I saw your picture
last night and for the first time
liked you. Maybe you always should
play heel"
Cary then asked him, What are
YOU doing these days?" Believe it
or not" said Milt, I've written a
story"
Then Holmes tells me, that
blank look came into his eyes. SO
1 told him the story in one SEN
tence and he said Send me the
script
Everybody Was Happy.
I'D given the story to an agent.
AS soon as Cary had the script he
called me to say that Paramount
wanted to buy it for $500 for &C.
picture. A few hours later I got
another call and Paramount was Of
fering $4,000. So went to see
Cary and told him. He said, It's
mine and he pulled out $500 from
his pocket, on account. The next
day RKO paid me $35,000" Cary
did all right, too, with the picture
because he had 10 per cent OF the
profits and it made 100000.
Milt's next movie" Salty ORourke, y
was written originally for Myrna
10y and Mickey Rooney. When he
showed the story to his pal Wilder,
he was told, Write the third char
acter for Clark Gable"
That's one of the secrets of writ
ing a movie" says Milt. Think big
and write it for the top players" :"
Salty" finally landed at Paramount
for Alan Ladd and Gail Russell.
Torch Song" which has not been
made yet, is owned by Paramount.
This was written for Alan Ladd and
Betty Hutton.
A One-Sentence Man.
"Ill tell you the plot in one SEN
tence," says Milt-and another way
to sell your story is to be able to tell
it to a producer in one sentence
Its about a guy like Mike Todd or
George Abbott who doesn't believe
in love-
Milt is married, for the second
time, to Nancy Porter.
