Tracy's petty crime example. No,
Kerry Drake instead is going to
the dogs-or should we say, "the
dog?"
He has traced the dog which
was purchased by Highbrow and
Smoky, the blackmail pair, and
it's another clue to the chain that
will, we suspect, eventually trap
them.
But Highbrow and Smoky are
after new sucker-the multi
millionaire Algy Wedm n e..
They've found out he once killed
man in a hit-run accident, and
now they're bedevilling him.
For example, they set up a
lighting contraption lights, lights!
Oh for an original cartoonistD to
flash the silhouette of a gallows
and moose on the door of Algy's
garage.
Algy didn't like the stunt. He
thinks no moose is good news.
AND SPEAKING of news,
here's the latest on Steve Canyons

Movie beat
'NickLeby' is a character
straight out Of Dickens

very complicated with double love
affairs, stolen papers and missing
sons. Like all Dickens stories, the
villain is the rankest kind OF
knave and the hero, to borrow q
phrase from Marc Blitzstein, the
''purest kind of guy"
You can rest assured, however,
that everything comes out all right
in the end. The lovers are all
matched up and the villain gets
his -uppance as neat as you'd
want it.
The only thing that might
deter the fastidious movie -goer
is the involved and meaningless
plot. Well. don't let it.
The important thing in Dickens
is not plot. If you like, you can
look ON the plot as a kind of
museum piece and take the de-
tached view.
DON'T hold the plot against
Dickens. A guy has to eat and
he wrote the kind of stuff that
readers wanted to read. He also,
however, gave them, whether they
knew it or not, some things much
more important than plot. AS I
recall the original novel, and I
may be hazy, it was primarily a
bitter, sardonic expose of the kind
of thing that passed for school
in 10th Century England.
Some of that. of course. is still
in the film. but it would have
added considerably to the stature
Of. the movie if that aspect of
ii had been developed more
carefully and at greater length.
The characters on exhibit here
are really Dickens characters.
Enough said ON that.
RIGHT now films portraying
the struggle of young and budding
musical geniuses are running
through a full cycle. Escape Me

makes music lovers turn to opium
or crap-shooting. The genius is

i i Wallace testified against the
Marshall Plan last Tuesday, he
was asked in what respect his
testimony differed from that of
the American Communist Party.
Rep. Sol Bloom, of New York,
asked the question.
But if Rep. Bloom was so con-
cerned with what the Communists
stand for, he could have found
out very easily.
The fact is that on Feb. II, the
Communist Party asked for per-
mission to testify on the Marshall
Plan and designated its legislative
director, Arnold Johnson, to do
so. The party was refused time
to testify-by Blooms own Con-
gressional committed

After all the disgusting appease-

It's Jack Carson's story about

And the author cried. What?

"You call this a plot?" laughed
that same Hollywood producer
scornfully at the author "a few
days before he was strickenD as
he read aloud the brief synopsis
which had just been submitted:
"a rich and powerful man falls
in love with his brothers. wife,
murders his brother and marries
her. The son of the murdered
man broods and goes nutty He
falls in love with a girl who gets
so worried about everything that
she goes crazy. The girls brother
and her lover stab each other to
death; the mother takes poison.
And her son, just before he dies,
stabs and kills his stepfather."

motion picture genius roared.
That's no story. NOBODY could
make a show out of that"

of money ON the stage" mildly

lwho is the epitome of all crooked

ANYWAY. Nicholas gets job
as a schoolmaster to support him
self on the condition that his uncle
will take care of his mother and
sister.
Some of the best portions of the
film are the bitter scenes in the
school, run by an unscrupulous
lout and his unsavory family.
The kids at this fancy school
are beaten, starved, worked like
galley slaves and then as final
wonderful touch, taught spelling
by the boss himself, who spells
window, "winder."
In this atmosphere, Nicholas,

England, P) - Nal Whitfield, American army master sergeant, showed his heels to the worlds fastest 800 meter man today to win one of the most coveted track championships of the Olympic games for the United States.
 The little Ohio State runner with the massive legs drew the pole position, Jagged in third place through the first lap, took the lead at the halfway point and fought off the challenge of the six-foot, four-inch Arthur Wint of Jamaica to win by three yards.
 The American covered the dis tance of 874.9 yards in l:49.2 for an Olympic record, cutting six tenths of a second off the previ- ous mark of 1:49.8 set by Tom Hapson of England in an immor- tai race at Los Angeles in 1882.
 Mel Patton, Barney Ewell and Cliff Bourland won their prelim- mary heats in the 200 meter dash but two of the three Americans in the discuss throw failed to reach the finals.
 Patton, the University of South ern California speedster who was disappointing fifth in the 100 meter final, started his comeback by taking one of the 200 meter heats in 21.6 seconds.

 Krupp, 4l-year-old heir to the Krupp munitions works, was con- victed of exploiting slave labor nd plundering Nazi-occupied lands. The U. s. military court convicted 10 other Krupp direc- tors on the slave labor count, five of them on the plunder count, and acquitted one of the 12 defendants.
 Judge M. C. Anderson of Jack son, Tenn, who presided over the three-man court, sentenced the other 10 convicted directors to terms ranging from l2 years to two years and 10 months.

 In the Empire poolhouse, the stars and stripes was hoisted to mark a U. s. sweep in the spring board diving competition, won by Bruce Harlan of Ohio State.
 Then Wally Ris, brilliant free style artist from the University of Iowa, splashed to victory in the 100-meter sprint in Olympic record time of 57.3 seconds. Alan Ford of Yale finished second in 57.8 and Deith Carter of Purdue U. was fourth behind Hungary's Geza Kadas.

 Ewell finally was awarded sec ond place, with Lloyd Lebeach of Panama third. Alan McCorqao- dale of Great Britain was sur prising fourth and Mel Patton of Southern California, considered the favorite, was a disappointing fifth. E. Macdonald Bailey of Great Britain was sixth.
 Dillard's surprising triumph in the century was no less impress sive than that of Cochran, who flashed over the hurdles in 5l.5 seconds to shatter the Olympic record by eight-tenths of a sec ond.
 Cochran, a former Indiana U star running for the Los Angeles Athletic club, and Rune Larssen of Sweden set the previous mark of 51.9 seconds in Fridays trials when both surpassed the old rec ord of 52 flat set by Glenn Hardin of the United States in 1882.
