ID EVIEW1NG movies IS one
III long drought broken up by
an occasional shower. Things boz
ing tough as they are, it's easy fe<
a critic to lose his perspective and
90 all out for stuff that shows the
least bit of skill and lite~.
Take, for instance. Treasure
of Sierra Madre," which at least
one member of the critic frater-
nifty is already booming for the
1948 Oscar" It's a good film,
but it's not that good. In fact, its
Just ordinary, pot-boiling kind OF
plot, dressed up with good taste
in direction and writing and with
some mature acting. It's a long
way from being distinguished
fiIm-from being in the $ I'm
league with Monsieur Verdoux"
or "Shoe Shine or even a film
like "Cross Fire"
Treasure of Sierra Madre"
looks at first glance a lot better
than it is for two reasons-both
named Huston. Son John wrote
and directed it in the taut, eco
nomical style that made Maltese
Falcon" what it was. Of Papa Wal
ter, who plays grizzled old pros
pector in Treasure, what is there
to say except that he really knows
his business?
ssTOSM" is the story of three
men, two buns-Hunphrey Bo-
CART and Tim Holland the old
prospector, who go into the Mexl-
can mountains in search of gold.
They find it, of course, and make
themselves comfortable piles. But
in the process, one of them =
Bogart - turns greedy, tries to
kill one of his partners, succeeds
in getting himself killed by some
bandits, who throw the gold away
thinking-being simple peasants
that it is only sand.
At first blush. this m ut
seem like an Interesting plot
Well. the customer is always
right and if you want to think
that's an interesting plot, go
RIGHT ahead. don't.
But plot isn't really important
in this film, because Huston =
John. that ISIS concerned with
character: specifically with how
greed can warp a mans soul. So
far. so good. My only objection

Newsmen who sought to learn
if official Democratic party
sources are sponsoring a counter
slate were astounded TO learn
that the Roosevelt" slate is the
only one with organized back
ing from Democrats here.
Among the top candidates are
Clifford Hewlett, running for
Congress, and Byron C. Carney,
running for secretary of state.
Hewlett, secretary of the state
Democratic central committee,
and Carney, state Democratic
chairman, are repeatedly very
sympathetic to the views of Henry
A. Wallace.
The slate also includes three
CLIO members, one AFL and one
railway brotherhood member.

Digging deep into the Ameri-

If there is a criticism to be
made of it, it is that Whose Cen

this is easily overlooked in the

The Army told its soldiers yester-
day that racial and religious pre-
judice endangers world peace.
It devoted its latest issue OF
Armed Forces Talk" pamphlet
issued for use by commanders in
informing their personnel, to dis
cussion of the question.
Racial and religious predjudice
said the pamphlet, "alienates the
confidence of the vast white
populations as well as other peoples
thwarts their hopes and our hopes
of peace and freedom, and ulti-
mately creates the conditions from
which future global wars can de-
velop."
How we treat minorities is, there
fore, more than a matter of mere
domestic concern" the publication
said. Almost 13 million people in
the United States were born in
Europe. The mistreatment OF some
Mexicans in the United States
echoes throughout North and South
America. A race riot provokes dis
cussions and resentment in Africa
