He's the Funniest
HOLLYWOOD.
BY the Associated Press

Movie studios like to brag about
the money they spend and the dis
tances their crews travel on location
trips. But more than one producer
was surprised to learn that a for
eign film company, for just about
the first time, is now making a pic
ture in Hollywood's own backyard.
The visiting location troupe Is
from Europa Films Studios in Stock
holm, and is headed by Edward Pers-
son, famous Swedish singer-come-
dian. With him are his wife, his
accompanist and musical composer,
his director, q sound engineer, q
cameraman and a tour manager.
The intersection Of Hollywood and
Vine, and other. landmarks in the
American movie capital are being
filmed for incorporation In the Swed-
ish film, as yet untitled, which will
be completed in Stockholm.
Person, who looks like John
Bunny, says he doesn't like Americas
slapstick comedy. "In Sweden, hui
NOR comes from the heart" he says.

can comedians, Person hesitated,
then said: They are all funny.

Hippodrome Gets a Thriller
BY Harry Macarthur

Whatever else the British may be
shy of in these lean years, they still
have their full share of skill at
weaving suspense into q photoplay.
The English film makers may not
have invented this type of picture
the mental rather than the 'physi-
cal thriller-but they certainly have
brought it to a high degree Of per-
lection. In dead of Night the
Hippodrome's new screen attraction,
they have advanced to a point where
they can bring the whole thing off
as something that either is or is
not a huge joke and If any one comes
closer than that to revealing the
pictures secret he is doing you no
favor.
This is a masterful bit Of work
on the part of all the several di-
rectors and screen writer's involved
in 1t. Tt Is the sort of thing that
can chill you and give you won-
drous bit of fun at the same time.
1t is not merely a crackerjack sus-
pense film. It is three small night
mares within a nightmare, all
dreamed up by keen imaginations.

Democrats Support
Nonpartisan Election
OF Arlington Board

Nonpartisan elections for members
of the County Board appeared as
sured in Arlington today following
action Of the County Democratic
Executive Committee in voting to
eliminate the traditional primary
next year.
The Republicans went on record
this year in favor of nonpartisan
elections and did not place can
didate in the running against Ed
mund D. Campbell, Democratic in
cumbent. Instead, the COP COM
mended" Daniel A. Dugan, Inde-
pendent, who was elected.
The Democratic Committee acted
last night after Charles r. Fenwick,
former member of the House of
Delegates, introduced a resolution
that mo primary be held next year
for the designation of nominees OF
the County Board"
1881 Action Recalled.
The resolution charged that the
Republican Party "broke faith" with
the citizens in 1881 by holding a
party convention and selecting
party nominees after the President
of the United States had issued an
executive order permitting Govern
ment employees to take part in mu-
nicipal elections on nonpartisan
basis.
Fifty-one candidates, Including
those nominated by the Repub-
licans," the resolution stated, an
nounced for the County Board in
1881 and the multitude Of candi-
dates confused the voters"
The Democratic committee, "as
the result of the Republicans ac-
ton, the resultant confusion and
insistent demand on the part of the
voters, held a primary In 1888 for
the County Board and has held
suchprimaries SINCE" according to
the resolution.
Citing the tremendous population
growth in Arlington, the measure
declared many citizens suffer the
disabilities" OF the Hatch Act and
do not have knowledge Of the early
history of primaries in the county.
"If primaries and conventions in
connection with the County Board
are eliminated, many Government
employees have indicated they would
be candidates" the resolution de-
clared.

ANOTHER STRIKE

The shipping situation far as Juneau is con- cerned is getting beyond the serious stage Supposedly things were all settled until fateful September but last night when the Baranof pulled into port long shoremen refused unload the several hundred tons for Juneau merchants because of another dispute over working conditions.
 This hit miss steamship service which Juneau has had to put up with for almost year now has cost the merchants and the people of Juneau good many thousands of dollars, and it seems ridiculous that it should continue any longer We face another local strike probably in September and a coastwide strike September 30. It to us the best thing to do is to shut the whole port down until the em- ployers and longshoremen get together and work out terms which will be good for reasonable length of time The kind of service have been getting is worse than no service at all and knows from one day to the next whether boat headed for Juneau will be unloaded or not.
 Strangely, Juneau seems to be having much more trouble than other Alaskan ports Why?
 Canadian vessels carry freight to all Alaska stops but Juneau.
 The last strike brought about freight embargo against Juneau-no other Alaskan port.
 The Baranof which couldn't unload in Juneau last night could unload at all other Alaska stops

of the United States soldier friendly, helpful, consderate fellow who could be compassionate in victory he relentless in is being rapidly
 destroyed. The appalling conduct of of our
 soldiers in Japan that revealed in the publication
 of General Eichelbergers order of month ago marks climax in this situation
 There undoubtedly are several reasons for this breakdown of off post discipline and decency One
 would be the relaxation of responsibility that
 with the end of the have sufficient evidence of similar situation here at home. Another is the comparative youth of many of the occupation troops. third would be inexperience in the tasks of patton, and failure properly to indoctrinate the occupation troops with sense of responsibility There is tendency, too on the part of too many officers to shrug off misconduct of their off post as only evidence of youthful spirits and the operation of the inalenable right of every American to make fool of himself in any way he chooses.
 It would seem to be especially necessary in Japan that the American soldier be held to the highest standard of conduct both post and off duty It should have been recognized that especially diff ficult problem was posed there, in the management of people whose ways and are alien to our own. General Echelberger should have taken remedial action before the situation got hand and became a public scandal If he wasn't of it. then he must be considered either unusually unobservant or possessed of poor staff that failed to keep him in- formed of conditions
 It will not be enough merely to courtmartial the more fragrant offenders The whole army of occupa- tion must be indocrinated with the responsibility of the job it has been given When the individual soldier that in his hands he holds the honor of himself a and of his country a civilized nation, that when he walks down street in Tokyo or elsewhere in Japan he represents civilization to the individual Japanese who sees him, then we shall have in Japan an army of which be proud and the Japanese will have example they may wish to follow.

 But despite that background, Jimmie Byrnes is no longer think ing about the presidency. He has set his heart on just one thing winning the peace.
 When he first resigned from the Senate to go on the Supreme Court, Jimmie walked down the streets of Spartanburg, s.

He puttered around grocery store buying food and went home to help cook his own dinner, thinking he was going to retire to life of lei sure.

Vatican Representative
(St. Louis Star -Times)


 In the agitation of so many groups over the pres ence in Vatican City of a personal representative of the President there is foundation of real concern the possible violation of fundamental principle of Americanism the separation of state and church And yet there be question whether this concern is not needless.
 The tradition of separation has never held that church and state may not recognize each other may not dwell amicaby in the same world, may not mutually benefit from their associations. It held simply that there should be no state religion, r1 official Identification of the state and church
 The sending of Myron Taylor to the Vatican has not meant any special privilege for Catholics here or any placing of stamp of approval the church of the Catholics, any than the sending of a rep resentative to Moscow has special privileges for the Russians or an approval of Communism
 Pope Plus XII happens to hold unique position He is an important factor in the peace of the world and his tiny domain of Vatican City is focus of much valuable information that bears upon that peace Once the treaties that end World War II have been signed there may well be review of the reasons for the decision to accredt official representative to him in order to permit the United States to gain both from his power and his to information Mean while howeverand particularly since we survived one period after the Civil War when an official dpomatic representative sent to the Vatcan-t seems safe enough to assume that American institutions of democracy sufficiently strong stand up under recognition of papal importance

Moscow, taking with him only ad- visers sympathetic to Russia. For days he labored with Stalin and Molotov, did his best to get along.
 At one conference, lasting until 2 am, Byrnes pleaded with Stalin to realize that the American people had no quarrel with Russia, that their greatest ambition was to re- main permanent friends. In the end, Byrnes found himself doing most of the compromising. The Russians yielded little.
 Since then, Byrnes gradually and reluctantly has come round to the opinion that the Russians don't want to pay ball with the U.S.A., that they deliberately keep their people stirred up over the phantom threat of war with the outside world. To quiet unrest, to preserve unity at home, the Kremlin figures such a policy is necessary.
 Yet Byrnes IS not anti-Russian. Despite his vigorous tiffs with Mol otov, those who have watched him on the inside know that he is se- verely anxious to cooperate.
 When he was War Mobilizer, Byrnes brought down the ax on 72 heavy warships proposed by Adm. Ernie King for construction after the war. The only nation they could be aimed against was Rus sia, and Byrnes emphatically said they could not be built.
 Later he aroused the resentment of U. s. Army Navy chiefs by ced- ing the Kurile Islands to Russia, though they had been captured by the U. $. A. Byrnes, however, thought it would improve U.S.- U.S.S.R. relations if Russia got them.
 But finally Byrnes concluded that the more he appeased Russia the more it demanded appeasement and that the chief thing Molotov un- derstandS is firmnesS.
