Wallace.C Conform Spearhead in U.S.A.

(Bv The Observer)
 IT WOULD BE SHEER BLINDNESS to see in Henry Wallace's announced Third Party purely American domestic decison To the contrary it is Moscow-dic tated It forms part of the policy of the Krem lin characterized by Jacques Duclos denuncation of Earl BrOWder in 1946 and the creation of the Comn form and Socinform in 1947
 MT Wallaces Third Party is a wedge of the Comn- form into the very heart of American life the of Presidential elections perhaps for bargaining purposes
 It is counted on by Moscow to become the American outpost of the Comintern and hence is considered of crucial importance According to reports, the Orbur is in great hurry and making all possible efforts that the party be organized in time for the l948 Presidential elections.
 On July g. 1947 Pravda wrote 'If it is decided to ganize Third Party that party will be ready under take energetic campaign during the last months of l948 The basis of the party will be the organization Progressive Citizens of America, which will have the support of the CIO and of the left wing intelgentsa" Pravda considered then that the formation of the Third Party will be easily achieved in 27 states difficult in 2 states At that time however it did not anticipate Third Party would come into being before the tions of the Republican and Democratic parties. Now Moscow seems indeed in hurry to cataput MT. Wallace into the U S. prediction The original plan, mentioned by Pravda to have the Third Party enter actively the Presidential only in the latter part of 1948 must have been revised in favor of ie diate action It correct to that the Mos COW decision was influenced by the growing determin- ation among the American people and particularly among members of Congress to counteract the Con- munst menace To paralyze this trend Moscow may have felt American of the Cominform must be put into action right away.
 Irrespective of the various reallgnments the left ist chessboard Mr. Wallaces announcement is produc- ing there several factors that overshadow all other considerations. They seem to be as follows
 For the first time in history Moscow succeeded in bringing into the U S. Presidential contest party and candidate controlled by herself, who is former vice. President of the United States and has been member of Presidential cabinets for many years This is seri achievement and an unprecedented nroad into the American political life.
 The other result of MT. Wallaces candidacy is that objectives of Soviet policy for the first time being

 In Greece
(BY Barnet Nover)

deed to say that official Washing ton is gravely disturbed by the latest developments in Greece. The effect here of the creation of the so-called Government of Free Greece" under the Communist leader, Markos Vafiades, has been that of a bombshell.
 This is not because the develop ment came as a surprise. 1t did not. Something like what has hap pened has been expected for some time.
 It became evident long ago that there was nothing the Athens gov ernment could do, no attitude of moderation and conciliation it could display toward the rebels in the north, no gestures of amnesty, forbearance and forgiveness it could make toward the rebels would make any difference.
 The Communicates rebels were aginst the Tsaldaris government, which they denounced as reaction ary. They have been no less op- posed to the more moderate and conciliatory Sophoulis regime.
 There is, in fact, every reason to believe that they would be against any government in Greece which they did not or could not domin- ate as their fellow Communists now dominate the governments of all of Greece'S northern neighborS.
 All this would not have mat tered if the Greek government had been successful in liquidating the guerrilla war int north. It has failed to do SO
 What is particularly significant about the setting up of the Markos regime in the north is not so much the event itself but the timing of the move and the compositiop of that regime.
 Coming at this time-on the eve of the great debate in the United States Congress on the European recovery program-it has for Rus sia very considerable nuisance value.
 Ii means that on top of the vast sums this country is 10 be asked 10 spend on behalf of western Europe additional sums may be needed in support of Greece. Possibly the Kremlin is reckoning on the hope and belief that the multiplication of burdens which the American people are being asked 10 assume may frighten Congress into a strong isolatios sist move.
 In any event, it is evident from the action of her Greek stooges that the mood of intransigeance which Russia displayed at the re cent London conference is still the mood of the Kremlin:
 It is interesting to note that the Markos regime is wholly com munist in composition. The pre- tense of a coalition regime made up of various democratic" ele- ments. the kind of a pretense which was implicit in the setting up of the various Fatherland Front governments in the Bal kans, was dispensed with at this time.
 Official Washington is not yet persuaded that recognition of the Greek rebel regime by Greece's northern neighbors and possibly Russia, as we'll, is imminent. The

About Town" latest screen attrac-
tion at the Little Theater. You may
disagree that 1t was 1947s greatest
picture-the decision Of the Inter-
national Film Festival-but you will
understand how the jury might well
have been bowled over by its Gallo
charm.
With the graceful help OF Maurice
Chevalier as its star, the Rene
Clair picture leaves the heart nc
loophole for escape. When that
organ is not being captivated By
the wit of Clair's ironic fable, II
Is being touched by the films pretty
veneer Of wistfulness.
Clair, who wrote. produced ano
directed Man About Town." does
not deny that love is a sacred thing
Nevertheless, while making a proper
curtsy to it, he Is arguing eloquently
that it also is enormously amusing
His picture expresses even more
amusement at the follies and silly
pretenses Of the movies, and the
greater ones Of actors and actresses
M. Chevalier is a facile collabo-
rator In this merry project, and 81

longs to the boss and must be pro-
tected from wolves; the fiat where
the director and the girl find their
loneliness most acute; and a side
walk cafe where life and love are
discussed in a French so funda-
mental that you understand'it with
out the language.
Chevalier gives a performance
that is just wistful enough to
sharpen It's gayety. His elderly lover
is a man who is close to the seasons
funniest in his indecision as to
whether the girl is his last resource,
the one with whom he should stop
and settle down.
He gets remarkable support from
Mile. Derrien, an actress who knows
how to play innocence with threat
that it may blow up at any moment.
The same is true of Francois Periers
skill with the romantically frus-
trated young actor. and OF Roland
Armontels portrait Of an elderly
shabby comedian whose ego is the
only thing that has survived IN his
professional experience.
They are wonderfully human
types in a picture that Is always
laughably human.

Howard Hughes
Won't Produce,
To Just Watch
By SheiIoh Grohom

Howard Hughes has signed George
Dolenz and Jack Beutel to new and
better contracts. Dolenz WORKED
for Hughes in Vendetta" Beutel
starred with Jane Russell IN the
Outlaw" From a source very close
to Howard. I hear it is definite that
he will not produce personally any
of the movies at RKO, in which
he now has a controlling interest.
But he will have a definite say IN
overall studio policy and, will de-
eide upon the types OF pictures ano
amount of money to be spent.
Richard Conte Is the latest movie
star to be suspended for refusing
a role-says he won't play the VII
lain in sand" And that makes
two who have rebelled at roles IN
this picture. A week ago Jean
Peters said no, thank you. she
wouldn't play the heroine in Sand.
Now Mark Stevens, as the hero, Is
the only one left as certainty IN
the cast.

The main character around these
lively premises Is an elderly dlrec-
tor, played by Chevalier. He has
been an avid practitioner OF the art
of romance. 1t has never occurred
to him, however, to carry 1t to any
such logical conclusion as marriage
until now, in the last half Of middle
age, he questions whether this has
not been a mistake. A bachelors S
home can be mighty lonely place:
| Chevalier's home certainly Is until
one night the daughter OF the
woman he should have married
shows up. 1t turns out that she,
too, is lonely. She is also beautiful,
naive, frustrated and valiantly ready
to learn about life in the magic city
of Paris.
Chevalier has picked up lot OF
romantic philosophy along the way
to this particular moment in LIE.
but it does not quite qualify him to
deal with the girl in way that will
be satisfying to every one. He is
never comfortable in his sense that
she Is an attractive nuisance. some
one he would like to get rid OF II
he could only be sure 1t would not
break his heart.
M. Clair's story is gay In its deci-
sion to stick Chevalier with the girl
as an actress. She has had no ex-
perience but, after all, she is pretty
and in silent movies clever direc-
tor can do lot with young female
who is easy to look at.
Working together and sharing a
fiat-the latter aloody-levels the
affair off nicely for a while. at least
long enough to introduce an attrac-
tive young actor Of the girls own

audiences are set for the most anus
