 His Public Relations officer issued a statement that MacArthur's an nouncement of availability does mot change in the slightest the oper- ations of headquarters Requests for 8 news conference and new, posed pictures were declined.
 Col. M. P. Echols, the PRO, said the General has nothing to add 10 yesterdays announcement, which ne made as "a private citizen"
 In Shanghai, China's official Gen. tral News Agency said in Tokyo dispatch: MacArthur recently told a high Chinese official his (MacAr- thur's) election as President would 'be the best thing that could happen to Chiang Kai-shek."

WALLA WALLA, March l0.-lR A former state official and his legal client were charged in Su- perior Court today with conspiring to bribe two Walla Walla county law enforcement officers.
 The two accused men are Shirley Marsh of Kelso, former assistant state attorney general, and Roy Houghton of Bremerton.
 They were arrested yesterday by Walla Walla County Sheriff A. A. Shick.
 One of the two counts filed by Prosecuting Attorney Albert N Bradford accused the men of con- spring to bribe Bradford into not enforcing the gambling laws of the state with respect to operation of various gambling games and de- vices.

Porta and the orchestra and chorus OF the
Rome Opera House.
A group of handsome and talented
italians have been assembled lor
a cinema version of Verdi's La
Traviata," which opened at the Du-
pont Theater yesterday. They give
Verdi's passionate music and Alex
ander Dumas equally passionate
story a silkily smooth treatment, but
when they have finished with 1t, the
result Is more q grand opera than
movie.
What this means is that the two
media still do not mix and that the
effort to blend them has once more
come off less than happy. The
music is there and the intrigue, or
plot, is also present but neither the
opera lover nor the movie fan is
likely to feel altogether satisfied.
1t is hardly for a Aim reviewer to
say that this La Traviata" Is we'll
sung, but one might hazard the
guess that this is the case. Ger
tainly the Italian cast goes about
its business with great zest and
every appearance of knowing pre-
cisely what 1t is about at all times.
As cinema, the pictures brightest
single asset is Nelly Corradi in the
role of the Lady of the Camellias.
Miss Corradi, a breath taking girl,
is one who might well have turned
the heads and broken the hearts OF
all Partisan males. Moreover, If
ever there was beauty who could
make one believe Dumas anguished
tale, she would be the one-and
Garbo would be the other.
The Italian producers of La
Traviata," whose film is being dis
tributed in this country by Columbia,
have not stinted on production.
They have set and costumed their
screen play with a lavishness fitting
so devastating a courtesan, and a
woman so finally capable Of . pure
and exalted love. Action lovers,
however, still have to take the word
lin Italian of the author and COM
poser that this is a stupendous ro-
mantle tale. The film moves very
little, even though it sings q lot
and quite dramatically.

Oyster Supply
To Be Small as
Season Starts

The oyster season, according to
the r month tradition, opens today
but oystermen said the supply here
will be extremely limited for at least
a couple of weeks.
The only variety on hand in any
number to greet the confirmed low
ers of the bivalves will be small
Chesapeake Bay oysters. The two
most popular varieties, Blue Points
and Chincoteagues, won't appear on
the half shell, neatly displayed on a
plate full of chopped ice, until the
middle of the month.
Most dealers and restaurants here
were uncertain about prices, but
zone dealer ventured a guess that
they will be about the same as last
year. For those who buy oysters
shucked in pint containers, the cost
will be from 80 cents to 81.
Although the tradition is that
oysters are eaten only in months
containing the letter r, truth is
that they are eaten practically the
year around. The summer eaters
have only the small local variety
to feast on, however.
