with a daily hot lunch out of Cfa- log donations during the winter: .24O00 apprentices in heavy work CTS professions received a substan- tial supper three times a week. .28,00O undernourished infants took bart in the Swedish meals; 17,0OO female building workers who had ceved five pound food parcels from Cralog; the students feelings were provided with extra concentrated food; 5,677 thoroughly blinded persons and 784 persons with two amputated limbs as well as famil- ies with many children who were in a special state of distress were delighted with half care parcel. In this way the winter distress has been yisibly mitigated by the gifts of foreign donors but now we were faced by springtime which is short of food when the potatoes have been consumed, vegetables are not available, and the new harvest is still far ahead.
 In this moment your donations arrived here which were handed over to Us by the representative of the Territory of Alaska, MT Ralph Bartholomew, of Ketchikan, Alas ka, in a most friendly way With what a deep understanding for our distress had the parcels been pack ed, every single one being a docu- ment of human kindness. What an immensity of reflection, propagan- da, organization and willingness to sacrifice demanded this huge plan, that the train from the farthest distance could make it's way to Us via mountains, wide plains and the big ocean.
 Mir Bartholomew, who took the trouble to make the long journey. will certainly have thanked you in our name. But we feel it our duty to thank you, Exeellency, also in writing in the name of our City. If you would be able to publicly convey our gratitude to all doners of your country, you would fulfill our hearts desire.
 Believe me, Excellency, I re- main, yours most respectfully,

al eHOllOllal neap While lnVeStl-
eating American troop morale in
Berlin is a sophisticated piece of
humor. Indeed, it probably is the
most sophisticated item of it's kind
since The Emperor Waltz" the
last specimen of Brackett- Wilder
comedy to be shown here.
Nevertheless, "A Foreign Affair"
Is not an unalloyed joke. It's setting
is the giant eyeless socket that
once was Berlin. The maddest
antics conducted against this back
ground of rubble and ruin lose
something of their SAVIOR. It's effect
is to make "a Foreign Affair" two
pictures in one, the one in the
foreground amusing, the one be-
hind 1t morbid and terrifying.
Dramatic contrast, which is sup
posed to be fine thing, seldom is
carried that far.
4 X X 4
Miss Arthur's public, all other
considerations apart, will find her
in fine fettle as the heroine of "A
Foreign Affair" Time has enriched
her ability to look like a woman
trying to remain poised with dis
aster breathing on the back of her
neck. 1t may even have added some
thing to her vocal trick of limiting
that when she and catastrophe
tangle, the latter is at least going
to know it was in fight.
Miss Dietrich's wise, disilluSioned
indifference to fate makes her just
about the perfect contrast to every
thing Miss Arthur represents.
X X X
Bracket and Wilder, who do their
own writing, directing and produc-
ing have imagined some distinct
comedy characters In "A Foreign
Affair"
Miss Arthur plays the key one,
q frigidly efficient Iowa Congress-
woman who gives the whimsical
feminine touch to an inquiry into
American troop morale in Berlin.
A realistic colonel of the occupa-
ton tries to warn her that Berlin
Is not Murdock, Iowa. This does
nothing to diminish her shock to
discover that determination is about
the first and only reward for victory
to the troops left in Germany. This
practice, with its black market and
basement night club sidelines, be-
come horror in her mind when she
learns 1t extends to the officers as
we'll as the men.
Unknown to her, the worst Of
fender of the lot is young Army
captain from her home town. This
handsome Iowa specimen. to whom
she has brought a birthday cake
from his girl back home, has dis
covered the attractions of a night
club singer Miss Dietrich who
used to be one of Hitler's glamour
girls.
The captain Gohn Lund), who
knows a lot more than when he
lived in Murdock, is of no mind to
get trapped by his fellow townsman
in any such deal as this. The con-
sequence is that he turns on the
CongreSswoman the identical charm
that won over the night club singer

a slewful of radio advisers to get
his new radio show shipshape for
the start of the season. Bob will
do lot Of travelling with the show,
all over the United States.
Charlie Enfield, boss of Enter
prise, tells me that there Is q big
fight brewing between his studio
and the Johnston Office. Yes, it's
still about the title Of the John
Garfield picture "The Numbers
Racket" I'm wondering why the
Johnston Office is objecting. So
is Charlie.
Tyrone Power will not be report
ing back to Goth Century-Fox In
Hollywood for at least a year. He's
got to get very long lay-off after
he finishes The Prince of Foxes
in Italy.
Susan Hayward has just signed

ipated, and before either of them

naziflcation fileroom.

The humanization of Miss arthur
is an amusing process, in which
Lund has the able assistance of
Miss Dietrich. Between them, they
teach her that there is a lot to be
said for letting ones hair down, to
picking up party dress in the black
market, to hitting the low spots
represented by a night club in one
of Berlin's surviving cellars, and
even to getting caught in military
police raid on such dives.
"A Foreign Affair" finds as much
Wry as gay amusement in it's gaud-
lily sordid night club sequences.
Here in the ruins, the occupying
armies gather with the German
dredge to have fun. Here Miss Diet
rich sings three bitter songs, of
which the best specimen is Who'll
Buy My Illusions" Here the black
market wine flows, and here Miss
Arthur learns the sad and funny
lesson that conquerors and con-
quered have their human similari-
ties.
Wilder, who directed the Palace
picture, has had no difficulty con-
vincing his largish. clever cast that
this is comedy with lot more of
substance than most cinema laugh
pieces. His two feminine stars ap-
proach their roles with no more
relish than a number of others, Lund
as the artful captain, Millard Mitch
ell as the tough colonel, and a dozen
more down to couple of soldiers
on a liberated bicycle on which they
chase frauleins.
Nevertheless, there is no escaping
that the liveliest comedies cannot be
laid in dead cities.
