already, the atmosphere is douoiy
electric. 1t takes but a few MIN
utes to generate an unbearable
friction between ex-Maj. Bogart
and his team and that led by Gang
ster Robinson. BY the time the
hurricane begins to blow, the Won
der is whether any one will escape
alive.
The human drama counterpointed
against the violence of the storm
centers in the conflict between b.
CART and Robinson. Each possesses
an instinct to kill the other. but
in the case of Bogart it is blurred
by disillusionment with the post
war world, in Robinsons by a
buried strain of plain cowardice.
Illusions picture is a dramatic
ally built edifice of incident which
sooner or later must strip the hero
and villain of these restraints. Each
scene on the way to the kill offers
something vital both to the sus-
pense of the picture ana the revela-
ton of its key characters.
Most of these are honestly un-
f1attering to the hero. In one, he
refuses to shoot it out with the
villain in what, on the surface,
looks like an honest duel of cour-
age and craftsmanship. In an
other, he suffers the gangster to
kiss the girl by whom he has been
smitten and in still another he
stands by while her invalid father
is the only one to protest the shoot
ing of a helpless policeman.
Things are going dramatically
and very bad for Bogart until the
gangsters sadistic torture of the
latter's alcohol-shattered mistress
reminds him that he is a man.
The going from that point on is
rough and decisive.
X X X X
Playwright Anderson's once blurry
characters are sharply acted under
Huston's direction. Bogart's hero
trying to turn himself into a cynic
who disdains all moral challenge to
action Is dramatic beyond anything
the actor has done in six recent
pictures. Robinsons Johnny Rocco,
neurotic gangster who tries sew
erpipe-size cigars for poise, and
guns for security is likewise the
best thing in the actors latter-day
repertory. He is man who has
picked up a lot of vile lore in the
field of courtship. Most of it he
exercises on the tormented girl OF
his encourage, adroitly played by
Claire Trevor, but Miss Bacall
comes in for her unwanted share
also.
The latter joins Barrymore,
Thomas Gomez and numerous
others in proving that Anderson
had a good idea in key Largo"
and needed only Huston to ex-
press it.

They must have had great fun on
the set while making "On our
Merry Way" the uninhibited cinema
frolic that has just turned up at the
Palace. The picture is supposed TO
have been directed by King Vldor
and Leslie Fenton, but you never
saw 50 many apparently undirected
actors on the loose. The boys and
girls mickeyrooney their way
through this with unabashed gusto,
whooping and grimacing and nav
ing the slapstick time OF their lives.
The film ought to be a WOW at
a refined Hollywood party, Wnere
movie stars burlesquing themselves
might conceivably be considered
funny, but as an entertainment 1or
less specialized audiences, ON Our
Merry Way" leaves something TO
be desired. In addition to dfrec-
ton by Mr.. Vidor and Mr.. Fenton'
the picture boasts Burgess Mere
dith as co-producer, Laurence Stall
lings, Lou Breslow, Arch Oboler and
John O,Hara as writer's, Skitch Hen
derson, Donald Kahn and Frank
Loesser as tunesmiths, and MIR.
Paulette Goddard, jimmy
Stewart, Henry Fonda, Dorothy La
mour, Fred MacMurray, Victor
Moore and several others as stars.
Seldom has. such mountain OF
talent labored to bring forth such
a molehill of entertainment.-H. M.

American company proposed con-
struction ofcertain roads in Turkey,
but Prime Minister Ismet In6nii
declined the offer as too expensive.
Later, in a conversation with a
certain Greek politician, In0ni
admired the new Greek highways,
made by the same American COM
pany. I'VE had an offer from
them," he said ruefully. but we
couldn't afford to accept it." Said
the Greek, 1T was too expensive

>sAGals In U.S.A."
lHE TURKS definitely intend to
repay American loans, but it won't
be easy. American-made goods are
too expensive for most Turkish
citizens, as well as for their govern
ment, and often don't meet local
requirements. There's q flourish
ing business in imitation
American goods, boldly labeled,
''Made in U.S.A."
But there are Turks who can,
and do. buy the real thing, straight
from America. Besides the Ameri-
can-made automobiles, there are
refrigerators and other household
appliances. remember the mayor
of a little village whom / discov-
cred in Istanbul's Carlman depart
ment store. Dressed in baggy
velveteen pantaloons, a red flannel
jacket and a huge black bowler, he
was clutching a copy of an Ameri-
can magazine and scrutinizing an
American refrigerator.
He opened and shut the door,
pulled out the trays, stroked the
shining white finish. Finally he
asked the salesman the price,
pulled out a wad of bank notes
wrapped in newspaper and an
nounced, Il will buy it, my son."
Nice Furniture
lHE salesman asked, What cur
rent do you have in your town,
AC or DC"
Current" replied the old man.
MY son, our village has no elec-
tricity." Before the astonished
clerk could say anything, he went
on TRANQUILITY. 1T will make a nice
piece of furniture for our parlor. I
will keep my tobacco there, as
well as the wedding and birth
registers of the town. My wife can
store her linens on one side, and

join the Turkish Democratic Party.
Westerns are great favorites, too.
Gene Autry is as well known in
Ankara as in St. Louis. The public
takes cowboy adventures very seri-
ously. One spectator recently drew
a revolver and fired several bullets
through the screen in an attempt
to foil the villains evil intentions.
Children play cowboy and In
dian and gangster, too. Often
they organize Dead-End Kid
gangs. Adult criminals also learn
from Hollywood. One pickpocket
flew to Ankara, followed his pred
atory profession in the capital all
day and flew back to Istanbul that
night, leaving the Ankara police
foiled.
A spectacular evidence of Holly
woods Importance on the Turkish
scene was given on a streetcar l
boarded in Istanbul. A violent
argument developed and reached
such proportions that the con-
ductor stopped the trolley to join

argument: not the new cabinet,
but Lana Turner'S reported ro-
nance with Turhan Bey - should
she get a divorce or not?
Tuxls Complain
OF COURSE, Turkish-American
relations are not always perfectly
smooth. There's an occasional fly
in any ointment. For one thing,
Turks complain that their country
is near the bottom of the list of
states receiving aid under the
Marshall Plan.
Then too, the American mission
is having its headaches. 1t takes a
hundred times longer to train
a Turkish gunner than to
manufacture and ship a gun.
So few Turks know how to drive
that all the taxi drivers in Ankara
had to be rounded up to operate a
group of tanks in a parade. Out of
a million residents of Istanbul.
only 10000 can drive. The Ameri-
canspropose to instruct 400 officers
and 5000 soldiers, then send them
out to train 1900 officers and
10000 soldiers, during the next
year.
Roads are a terrific problem. The
proposed network of 50 strategic
highways will revolutionize Turkey,
not only militarily but economi-
cally. Thereiseven talk of a suspen-

Mrs. A. 7. Hert, Former Social
And Political Leader Here, Dies
Long Illness FotoI
In Kentucky; Home
Here Was Gay Center
From Yesterdays Last Edition.)

From Yesterdays Last Edition.)
Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice chair
man of the Republican National
Committee from 1924 to 1886, who
at one time was prominent social
and political figure in Washington,
died today at her Louisville (KyD
estate, Lyndon, after long illness.
Mrs. Hert lived in Washington
many years until just before World
War II when she went to live in
Louisville and Palm Beach, Fla.
Her home here at l785 Massa-
chusetts avenue NV, was the GEN.
ter of gay diplomatic and political
parties. Persons of all ages from
debutantes to dowagers could be
seen at her gatherings. Her Sun
day afternoon "at homes" were IA
nous.
Mrs. Hert, born in Bedford, Ind,
was the former Sally Alley. She
married Mr.. Hert, Of Louisville, in
1893. After his death in 1921 she
took over his businesses, including
the American Creosoting Co. and
the Hursthourne Farms in Ken
lucky. She was a Kentucky social
leader and noted horseWoman.
AS first woman vice chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee, Mrs. Hert sought to bring out
the woman vote for her party. She
once said the woman voter couldn't
be swayed with slogans or torch
light parades but relies on common
sense. Mrs. Hert claimed that be-
cause of this the women were the
hope Of our Government"
Beginning in 1890 Mrs. Hert be-
gan organizing Republican clubs.
She went through 80 States and
formed what observers called the
strongest political organization de-
veloped in years.
Mrs. Hert, a tall, patrician wom-
an, was as much at home with
the small town housewife as the
metropolitan social leader. She
was State chairman for Republican
women in Kentucky from 1923 to
1885.
For II years she ranked as first
lady of the G. o. P. organization
and at times when there was talk
that Presidents Harding, Coolidge
or Hoover might offer a cabinet port
folio to woman, Mrs. Hert's name
was the one most conspicuously
mentioned.

|Byrnes Assai|s Theory
U. 5. Wants 10 Fight
Soviet Communism
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-Former
Secretary Of State James F. Byrnes
cautioned today against building
Americas strength ION the theory
that We want to fight Soviet COM
munism."
While he declared "the greatest
danger in the world today is the
danger Of continued aggression on
the part of the Soviet Union" Mr.
Byrnes insisted that war is far from
inevitable, and added:
"Idealogies militantly conflicting
and logically irreconcilable will
choose the right to survive on the
basis Of mutual tolerance, in pref
erence to the right to die on the
basis of mutual extinction"
Speaks at Penn Exercises.
In a speech at the University of
Pennsylvania commencement exer-
cises, the former cabinet official de-
scribed as unfortunate" any refer
ence to American foreign policy aims
as "containment of Soviet Russia. ."
Some Of our people," he said,
"have the mistaken idea that no
agreement has been made or can be
made with the Russians that is not
a surrender. That is a dangerous
idea"
To support that idea, Mr.. Byrnes
said, such people charge that we
were hornswoggled and overreached
in nearly every agreement President
Roosevelt made with the Soviet
Union during the war" That view
point, he stated, lis grotesque
distortion"
Yalta Agreement Defended.
He defended the provisions of the
much-criticized Yalta Big Three
agreement as made necessary by
wartime circumstances. There was
nothing wrong with this Yalta
agreement" he said. THE trouble
was that the Soviet Union later
made a mockery" Of it.
"A realistic conclusion is that the
war agreements gave the Soviet
Union very little that they were not
in a position to take without
agreement"
