First Men Leave
For Army Exams

Memories of World War II
draftee farewells were recalled on
Wednesday morning when five
young men were sent to the Wal
dorf hotel in Toledo for physical
examinations. They were the first
to leave under the new peace-time
draft law.
Taking the pre-induction physi-
cal exams Wednesday were jim
my Rider and Elmer Kohlman,
Oak Harbor; George Mallory, of
Lakeside; Martin Repka, Genoa,
and Nicholas Bilitski, Port Clin-
ton. All are in the "a and 25-
year groups.
AS was customary during the
World War II years, the regis
trants reported at the Ottawa
county Selective Service office in
the City Hall, from where they
were transported by bus to Toledo.
Among the spectators on hand
when the men left here was Mrs.
Fay K'Burg, clerk Of the original
draft board who has been a volun-
teer worker this fall; Miss Nancy
Keller, new clerk; and members
of the draft board.
Mrs. K'Burg, especially, must
have recalled many similar fare
wells during past years which
were far sadder events than We'd
nesday's.

FREEZE LIFTED FROM LOCAL ONO
QUOTA, PRESSLER ANNOUNCES

Captain Pressler announced this
week that the quota for the local
Ohio National Guard company,
frozen last June at 81 men, has
been increased to so men.
Youths, II to 1872 are urged to
take advantage of the many op-
portunities offered by the Nation
al Guard, including possible COM
missions, appointment to West
Point and retirement with pension.
Other members Of the company
unable to attend camp are Eu-
gene Story, TIA Floyd Slauter-
beck and Pfc. Arthur Benore.
Since returning from camp, the
local unit has entered into the
new three-year training program,
which was inaugurated for all Ma
tional Guard units in the nation.
The program gives a standard,
comprehensive training for men
in basic subjects, plus specialist
training.
Treadway Bridge company
members will receive specialist
training in the maintenance and
operation of the heavy trucks and
equipment, which form the nucleus
for completion of the company's
mission.
No doubt this equipment is
very familiar to Port Clintonites,
who have seen the heavy vehicles
around the city or at the armory.
The bridge trucks are unique in
that the Port Clinton outfit is the
only Ohio National Guard unit so
equipped.
Recently, local guardsmen have
been served a post drill lunch
consisting of "Sloppy Joes",
French fried potatoes, ice cream,
cake and coffee. The feed was a
fitting climax to a successful camp
session and was thoroughly enjoy
ed by all. Some men chit the chow
line" seven times-an indication
Of good cooking. 1t has been ru-
mored that the Port Clinton
guardsmen will never go hungry.

Titoism and PoIond

For the time being at least the Tito
disease" is not likely to become an cpl
demic in Poland President Bierut-a man
completely obedient to Moscow-has taken
over full control of the Warsaw dictator
ship as head of the newly united Com
munist-Socialist Workers Party. The
"rightist and nationalist deviations" are
being stamped out In few days-as far
rs the surface goes, at any rate-every-
thing will be strictly in keeping with the
Marx-Lenin-Stalin line; nobody will be
openly trying to win little Polish inde-
pendence from the Kremlin.
Thus, unlike Premier-Marshal Tito's
spectacular rebellion in Yugoslavia, Vice
Premier Gomulka's waywardness has been
promptly brought under control in Poland.
Dismissed as head of the party and prob
ably due to lose his post in the govern
ment, the hapless Gomulka has recanted,
abjectly declaring himself to have been IN
error and publicly hailing the purge now
being carried out against his followers.
He has seen the light. He has ended his
brishtist and nationalist deviationst" That
IS to say, he does not sympathize with Tito
,ny more, or question the wisdom of the
MoscoW-controlled Cominform, or oppose
rapid collectivization OF the Poles, or seek
70 prevent the total subservience of his
country to the Kremlin. Instead, he has
Evening star., 1948-09-09

placed himself squarely behind the new
Beirut program to hquidate all deviation
ists," remove the last vestiges OF Polish
capitalism as quickly as possible wage
relentless war on American Imperialism, -
and do the bidding of the Soviet Union
without murmur of dissent.
All this speaks volumes for the puppet
character Of the Warsaw regime and for
the truth-butchering nature of Soviet
propaganda about the sovereign" and Gin
dependent" governments OF the peoples
democracies" behind the Iron Curtain.
Apparently the Kremlin, through its
stooges, is getting ready to tighten the
screws on Poland, and no effort is being
spared to keep Titoism from spreading
there. But the germ OF the disease is a
hardy one, and in country whose popu-
lation is almost entirely Catholic, national
istic and traditionally anti Communist and
anti Russian, it may yet be reactivated on
large scale. Moscow is not through with
its troubles among the satellites, least OF
all among the Poles.

Opera Movies

Tt has been announced in New York
that representatives Of the Metropolitan
Opera Association have been in conference
with agents for three OF the principal
Hollywood motion picture companies on
the possibility of filming operas in color.
Whether the negotiations prosper or fail
the general public is bound to be interested
in learning their outcome. There is
nothing new in the basic idea. Movies OF
Enrico Caruso and Geraldine Farrar were
made thirty years ago, and they were
popular despite the fact that they were
silent. If cinema reproductions of the
great music dramas now can be produced
with sound, the results should be at least
as good.
OF course, there would be difficulties.
Not every opera has the graphic qualities
to which the average movie fan is &C
customed. DonizettiS Lucia di Lammer-
moor" for example, might be considered
relatively dull by audiences trained to
expect uninterrupted action building up to
q super colossal climax. Such an antique
favorite as Balfe's Bohemian Girl" on
the other hand, might be box office SEN
sation. The difference between the two
types of classics is slight, yet it conceivably
would be factor of vital Importance.
A similar observation applies to the
singers. Some artists possessed of at
tractive voices admittedly lack the peculiar
photogenic qualities which the movies
require. If motion pictures are to be made
of operas on the Metropolitan stage, they
inevitably must conform to the esthetic
patterns already established by the cinema
industry several generations back. Heroes
must be handsome, heroines beautiful
The present ensemble of operate per-
formers largely meets these require
ments as well as Hollywood itself, but it
does not follow that such details can be
neglected. In terms of scenery and prop
critics. the movies also have educated the
customers to demand perfection.
On the strictly economic side, the
characterization of opera seems especially
desirable. Costs of maintaining the Met
ropolitan organization have risen to an
undreamed height. Any practical scheme
for increasing revenues should be wei
coined by everybody concerned. The cul-
tural benefits likewise should be taken into
account Opera has been part OF ths
worlds progressive civilization during
three centuries. It has distinctive role
J among the constructive arts. The more
