MOVIES:


L been waiting for with
something less than bated breath
is scheduled to open in Chicago
in a couple of weeks.
It's little number called
'Iron Curtain" a title borrowed
by the way from that eminent
d mocra Winston Churchill,
who borrowed it from another
eminent democrat, Joseph Goeb-
bells. It's about how those terrible
Russians-complete with boards
are trying to get hold of our
atom bomb, to complement their
boards, no doubt.
"Iron Curtain" was produced
by Daryl F. Zanuck and goth
Century-Fox to set its accounts
right with the House Un-Ameri-
can Committee. The film is the
first tentative nibble by Holly
wood at beating the drums for
the SUPPRESSION of civil liberties,
for cracking down on labor, for
com p1e teIy militarizing the
American government. It is, in
short, the beginning of the Gull
tural offensive to prepare the
nation for World War III.
Zanuck, the great brain be-
hind such significant hits as
Forever Amber" and the man
who made Betty Cradle what she
is, is being closely watched by
the rest of the industry.
They would like nothing bet
ter than to get in the act-if it
proves to be profitable. They're
mite worried, though, about
whether the American people
will shell out real money to see
this kind of thing.
There are, as I understand it,
some six or seven similar opuses
ready to go before the cameras
if this pot boiler gets any kind
of a play at the box office.
There's been a tremendous
protest against the film already.
Production was held up for al
most a year because of public
protests and because it didn't
look like the movie audiences
would swallow it. Now the time
is considered ripe.
The American people by stay
ing away from this film by the
millions can prove that they
don't want another war; can
prove that Hitler and Goebbels
were wrong.

Truman Seeking To Avert States Railroad Strike

WASHINGTON, (P)-PreSident Truman today created an emer- gency board to investigate dis putes between the nations rail roads and 16 incorporating rail road unions.
 The unions are now taking a strike vote, and creation of the board is intended to head off the possibility of Walkout.
 Under the railroad labor act, a work stoppage is forbidden while he emergency board is studying the dispute.
 The board is given 30 days to make it's findings, and neither strike nor lockout can be ordered within 60 days after the boards recommendations reach the White House.
 About 100000 workers are in- volved. The so-called "non-oper- ating" workers are those not ac IL ally engaged in running trains. They include sWitchmen, yard men, maintenance workers, teleg- raphers, and numerous other crafts.
 MT. Truman did not name the members of the board. A White House spokesman said they will be announced shortly.

Suicide Saved By Her Murderer

TOKYO, tPD - When WakajLo Arai, 56, came upon pretty Funi- ko Kasagi, 24, she was about to hurl herself into the river and end it all.
 Aria, whose neighbors say he was a kindly man, dissuaded Flu mikO from suicide and took her to his home. As the days passed, he fell in love with her and she with him.
 Then, police said, Arai became panic stricken for fear his wife would detect his secret. So, said the police, he butchered FumikO and buried her in his back yard
 Today police arrested him for murder. On the way to jail, Arai broke from the police and hurled himself beneath the wheels of an onrushing train which killed him.

San Francisco Stinks; Gas War Feared

SAN FRANCISCO, CP)-It was an i'll wind that didn't smell good, and it had the San Francisco Bay region in a gas war dither until the experts got it's number.
 At San Bruno, south of here, startled citizens began sealing windows and doors against pos sible chemical attack from off shore.
 From all quarters came reports Friday of the big stink.
 Some said it smelled like onions. Some said leaking gas main the gas company protested mo, it isn uso. There was plenty of support for the wet dog and dead fish theories.
 It took the city health director, the city toxicologist and the United States weather bureau tO straighten it out.
 It was straightforward, a non toxic sulphurOuS cloud resulting from refining petroleum. it came from the East Bay, where 'dead'' air had hung over the refinery dis trict several days. An east wind blew the accumulated gases over the bay and out to sea. Then a west wind - the stinker -- bie,V them back, over the land.

Barge Feared Lost In Storm

 urday that a l05-foot self-propell- ed barge with five men aboard had sos'd it was sinking in heavy seas 85 miles east of Cape St. Eli as, Alaska.
 Contact with the barge, the Starstone, was lost within min uteS of the time its distress call was received at 1l:06 pm. Friday night.
 The vessel reported it was talk ing water more rapidly than it's pumps could handle, and radio batteries would be shortcircuited at any moment. No further word was heard.
 No coast guard vessels were in the immediate area, but efforts were being made to send out two Ocean-going tugs berthed at Yak utat, about 12 hours sailing time away.
 Gale winds up to 4U miles an hour were reported in the north ern Gulf of Alaska where the barge was laundering
 The StarStOne'S crew list, home port and destination have not been learned, but it was believed head ed for COrdOva
 A leaking barge and it's five-man fcreW was attempting to ride out rough waters in the Gulf of Alas ka last night as a tug sped to its rescue.
 An ominous silence had kept the fate of the vessel in doubt. How ever, a coast guard plane radioed it had sighted the barge, The Star stone, about 88 miles west of Yak utat.
 Part Of its SuperStructure had been washed away and it was rid ing low in the water. Two men were observed on dcek.
 The coast guard said water flooding the vessels batteries was probably responsible for the radio silence which descended on the craft.
 The Starstone was sighted at 4:35 pm. last night and the tug Shinn left Yakutat at 6 pm. to go to is aid The run would take about eight hours.
 F. L. Ekholm, one of the owners of the vessel, said it was almost unsuitable unless it breaks up because of it's independent com partments. IL was sealed above with a house on top.
 The barge was carrying general cargo from Seattle 10 Anchorage when it met trouble midway be- tween Yakutat and Capt. St. Elias, which juts down midway in the northern Gulf of Alaska. It had been leased by the Capt. Douglas canning company to one of the veteran seamen aboard for service during the west coast maritime II strike

The Latest News from Lithuania

that all of them will be dead before
that time.
| At first the only food of the rri-
soners were 200 grammes Of bread
daily, i.e., two thin slices. After q
few weeks this was supplemented
with thin soup of groats. They
never saw potato or vegetable
during the ID months Mrs. NJ was
at the camp nor were they given
any soap. When they did not full
fill their quotas, the rations were
reduced.
Work was not uniform; some days
the prisoners had to dig, some days
they blew up ruins and carted rub
BILE. For this reason there were no
fixed quotas and every prisoner or
group of prisoners was given a
task for the day in the morning
which they had to accomplish by
nightfall if they wanted to receive
the full ration. Needless to say,
the tasks were almost superhuman
for the exhausted prisoners and on
ly very few therefore received the
maximum rations.
The guards at the camp were
NKVD soldiers who were armed
with revolvers and machine guns
All the prisoners were being re-
garded as on trial and while they
had to work during the day, they
were interrogated by night. Some
times these interrrogations lasted all
night through and a prisoner got
no sleep whatever. The interrogat-
ing officers usually played with a
revolver, the prisoners were threa-
tened and occasionally beaten.
The qAestions addressed to Mrs,
NJ were on the following lines:
Who was your husband? Where
did he work? You are Nazi col
laborator just as your husband was,
confess! We have caught your hu--
band, he has confessed everything,
now it is your turn (The poor
lady breaks into tears at the MEM
ory and is pressed no further.)
Mrs. M. has not been beaten much,
only struck in the face with fist
a few times and that counts as
nothing in a slave labor camp. The
interrogations could last many 9TH
er nights running and then cease
suddenly, to be resumed after two
or three months interval. Apparent
ly some kind of sentence was from
time to time pronounced on certain
prisoners who were then taken away
from Medvezhegorsk, to Siberia it
was said.

Continued from last week.

Mr.. Jonkman. Mr.. Speaker, the
thlrtleth anniversary Of Lithuania's s
independence cannot help but draw
the sympathetic consideration of
every freedom-loving American. AS
l understand it, the United States
still recognizes Lithuania as an in
dependent nation whose deprivation
of this independence is only tenn
porary, The irony of her situation
is tragic to the extreme.
On Feb. 10, 1910, addressing the
American Youth Congress, the big
gest friend the Soviet Union ever
had in the United States said of
her:
The Soviet Union, as everybody
who has the courage to face the
facts knows, is run by a dicta-
tatorship as absolute as any other
dictatorship in the world.
According to reliable reports "In-
dependent Lithuania" is run by this
dictatorship in so ruthless manner
that it beggars description. Ac-
cording to these reports Lithuania
has been the victim of this dicta :
tor not only in loss of independence
not only in loss of freedom of the
press, freedom of worship, and in
similar inherent human rights, but
she has been made the victim of
mass liquidation and deportation to
Russian concentration camps all
of which means slow liquidation =
on a scale constituting genocide
such as has probably not been sur
passed in the history Of nations. In
December 1916 the General Assem-
bly, of the United Nations declared
genocide to be an Internal n
Crime.
It would seem that one of the
first responsibilities of the General
Assembly of the United Nations is
to investigate the above-named re-
ports and charges against the So
Wet Union. If they are not true
the facts should be known. If, on
the other hand, they are true, in
vestigators on the spot should be
able to establish this fact and bring
the Soviet Union at least to the bar
of public opinion with such appro-
pirate action as the circumstances
may warrant.
