Replying to contentious of the
Netherlands government that the
U. N. had no jurisdiction in the

The Indonesian government re-

than overstepping authority as
maintained by the Dutch, the Soviet

NEW YORK T0WN"| AT 10TH CENTURY STARTING TONIGHT.

Mary Martin who scored her big gest hit as the singing star in Kiss the Boys Goodbye climbs to new dramatic heights when she kisses Fred MacMurray and Robert Preston hello in Paramount's gay Comedy romance. New York Town which opens tonight at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Miss Martin, a singer and dan oer in her previous pictures, all on the comedy side, plays a straight dramatic part, sprinkled here and there with a few light moments.
 New York Town" is delightful romantic drama about a small town girl and her big-town love affair.
 Down to the last run in her stocking, Mary is rescued by Fred MacMurray, snappy Manhattan knight who makes his living as a sidewalk photographer. After talk ing himself into becoming Mary's hero, he almost talks himself out of her life when he sells her on the idea of marrying Robert Pres ton, wealthy young man about town. But Mary is ore small town girl who's out to make good at least where romance is con- cerned.
 Although Fred teaches her plen- ty about how to get along in the Big Town, he has a lot to learn about love, and Marys the girl who opens his eyes. All of which goes to prove that young hearts have universal system all of their own, regardless of financial or geographical background.
 The film boasts as neat cast ing job as has been done in some time.
