Movie beet
Kiss Of Death is a good
bet for cool autumn eve
BY BOB BENNETT

Kiss of DEATH" is one of those
tightly contrived, tough melo-
dramas that have become sc
popular of late.
We can take our melodrama OF
leave it alone. But the form, in
the hands of an expert like, say
Alfred Hitchcock, is capable of a
bang-up job of movie-making.
I think you'll find the kiss OF
Death" worth your time.
1t could have been much better;
but it could have been much
worse, too.
The screen play is by Ben
Hecht and the direction by Henry
Hathaway, both of whom know
their way around back of a
camera. It's too bad the boys
didn't take a few weeks longer,
think about it for while and
really turn out distinguished

GREECE:
SOS

A rightist bastion in the eastern
Mediterranean and scene of bit
ter undercover political war between
Britain and Russia, Greece appealed
to the U. S. for financial and tech
meal aid to keep from going under
and becoming a Soviet satellite.
Greece's plea followed Britain's
notification to the U. S. that her
own economic difficulties made it
necessary for her to pull out Of the
country. In asking the u. S. to
assume her obligations, Britain esti-
mated that it would cost 800 million
dollars to bolster Greece during the
next three years. Congressional
sources stated that $50 million dol
lars in relief and credit may be
required this year alone.
Primarily an agricultural state,
Greece was hit hard by the war.
with communications shot up, pro-
duction hampered by lack Of equip
ment, livestock depleted and essen
tial imports cut off. AS result Of
Britain's inability to lend economic
assistance because of the pressure
of satisfying domestic needs and
maintaining essential exports, the
U. S. already has extended Greece
400 million dollars in postwar aid.
Greece occupies strategic posi-
ton in the Mediterranean. It lies
adjacent to the Dardanelles; across
from the Suez canal, imperial gate
way to the Far East, and On the
flank of the Middle East, where the
u. S. and Britain have extensive
oil holdings. In the event of clash
between eastern and western Eu-
rope, it would hold the key to op-
erations in the Middle East.

U.N.:
Atom ROW

The question of national SOW
ereignty-of a country retaining its
freedom of action-has long blocked
efforts at effective international CO.
operation, and the same question
threatens the utility of the United
Nations.
Russia brought the question into
the open in the U. N. security coun-
ellis elaboration on the u. SIS pro-
posal for international control Of
atomic energy. Delegate Gromyko
declared that any plan that failed
to protect the national sovereignty
Of participating nations lacked real
ity and could not be accepted by
practical statesmen.
Under the U. S. proposal for an
all-powerful atomic authority that
would regulate the use Of nuclear
energy and possess rigid inspection
rights to guard against violations,
Gromyko said that the authority
could interfere in Russia's internal
affairs in matters not directly asso-
ciated with atomic production. He
repeated the charge that the u. S.
plan placed other countries at dis
advantage because America would
retain its atomic secrets and plants
during the period when the rest of
the world would be complying with
initial controls.

Britain resorted to psychology in

BY imposing martial law in Tel

seriously disrupting its business.
Thus, the Jewish leaders were faced

CONGRESS-:
Doom, OPA

Long the whipping boy for public
and politician alike, OPA was head
ed for the discard by June 80 be-
cause of congressional limitation of
its funds. The office of temporary
controls, established last December
as the supervisory agency over re-
manning wartime regulatory bu-
reaus, also was scheduled to go.
With abolition of OPA, it was re-
ported that rent control would be
transferred to the department Of
commerce and sugar control to the
department of agriculture. Because
of the scarcity of housing and sugar
in the face of tremendous demand,
legislators continued to favor their
regulation to prevent hardship and
skyrocketing prices.
While the Republican minority
continued to ride herd in the house
and threatened to put OPA out of
business before June 30 by refusing
a deficiency appropriation and chop
ping nine million dollars from pre-
vious appropriations, the senate pro-
vided funds for closing out the agen-
cy within the next three months. AS
a result of these differences, the bill
was sent to a senate-house confer
ence for settlement Of terms.

EUROPE:
Hem In Reich

Even before determination of the
future design of Germany, the ma
jor powers are proceeding to build
ring Of steel around the reich to
guard against a revived German
state waging a third war of agrees
sion.
The British and French forged the
first link with a 50-year alliance.
pledging the two countries to go to
each others assistance in the event
Of an attack by Germany or any
other country. At the same time,
the two allies agreed to integrate
their economies to build an indus
trial base for war and promote the
exchange Of goods.
Frances declaration that she
would offer the same terms to other
major powers led to speculation
whether the treaty would implement
the U. S. proposal for defensive
alliance Of the Big Four against
the threat of future German resur-
gence. Thus far, Russia has SHE'D
away from the u. S. proposition, but
has been dickering with Britain for
mutual aid pact.
Holland and Belgium were expect
ed to act favorab1y upon the French
invitation to consummate similar
defensive and economic pact. On the
other hand, Poland and Czechoslo-
vakia were expected to look to Mos
cow for instructions on negotiating
such a treaty.

DIET:
Determine Minimum,

Recent limited experiments con.
Quoted under direction of the quar-
termaster corps have indicated that
unless man consumes a minimum
Of 900 calories day, it is impos-
sible for him to retain the proteins
essential for nourishment of his
body tissues. The army ration pro-
vides a minimum of $500 calories.
These studies and associated re-
search have further indicated that
diets deficient in calories cause a
pronounced fall in the basal meta
bolic rate.
The fall in the basal metabolic
rate is considered by scientists to
be an indication Of the effort of the
body to compensate for dietary
deficiencies. Recovery from semi
starvation is slow, the studies have
revealed. A 24-week period was not
sufficient to bring men back to their
original metabolic level.
The studies are part of . quarter
master program to develop So
called life raft or survival rations
that would represent the minimum
of food and water necessary for
survival over an extended period.
