A few weeks later. Mr.. De Marco
was talking via telephone from New
York when he interrupted himself
to ask again, Have you seen Sit
ting Pretty yet? Don't miss it,"
he warned. Since Tony is dancer
and not press agent for a man
named Clifton Webb or movie
named Sitting Pretty" it was no
surprise to have his judgment con-
firmed when the picture opened at
the Capitol.
In view of his enthusiasm, 1t
would be only fitting If Sally and
Tony and the comedy which casts
Mr.. Webb as a disdainful baby
sitter turned out to be dual attrac-
tions at the Capitol come Thursday.
The possibility was developing over
the week end that Sitting Pretty"
might remain for a second week.
And 1t is no possibility, but a
definite fact, that Tony and Sally
make their first appearance on a
local theater stage on Thursday.

The district portrayed is a region

Art Director Nathan Juran evolved
the plan. He used charts, drawings
and miniatures in working out his
system before production began.
Sections of houses and storefronts,
corner buildings, walls, railroad sta
tions and interiors were designed
so that they may be dovetailed in
any number of combinations.
Sections of the actual sets are
moved on rollers by an overhead
monorail crane. BY realigning the
pieces Juran and Director Norman
Foster obtain 20 street combinations.
One major juggling of the sections
enables the photographing of two

The British program produced some

New controls imposed by the
United States aid mission, headed
originally by former Gov. Dwight
Griswold of Nebraska, the report
states, finally brought the situation
under control. Their continuance,
it is declared, has produced a re-
markable degree of monetary and
price stability in the war-torn
country.
Import Controls Supported.
The report recommends the con-
tinuation and further strengthening
of the stringent import controls put
through by American of1lcials. These
controls are being vehemently op-
posed by certain business elements
which want to bring in luxury
goods. The report urges that these
forces be firmly resisted"
The report also advises a sweep
ing revision of the tax rates and
effective maintenance of counter
inf1ationary controls. 1t also calls
for a careful screening of further
requests for United States funds
for recovery projects to insure that
they have real value for the i'm
provement of Greek economy.
But the report stresses that all
these measures and efforts will be
largely frustrated 80 long as we
remain compelled to engage In daily
debates on policy issues with not

|2,727 Plane Orders
Awaiting Signature
OF 70-Group Air Bill
by J. A. O'Leov

Orders for the building of
2,727 planes are ready to go out
as soon as President Truman
signs the 70-group Air Force ap-
preparation bill, which sailed
through the Senate yesterday,
IA to 2.
Although minor differences remain
to be settled with the House, that
branch had previously approved the
more than $4,000, ,00o, 900 measure.
343 to 3. A final draft probably will
go to the White House early next
week.
The big question on Capitol Hill
now is what will both Houses do
with the draft and universal military
training bills to provide the man
power needed for all Of the armed
services. including the enlarged
Air Force.
Calls Bonus Asinine.
President Truman late yesterday
described as the most asinine propo-
sition he ever heard of the plan of
Representative Allen, Republican, of
Illinois to offer a bonus for volun-
teers as q substitute for selective
service.
Mr.. Allen Is chairman Of the
House Rules Committee, which has
been holding up UNIT bill since
last fall. The House Armed Serv-
ices Committee a few days ago ap-
proved a temporary revival Of the
draft law, which is expected to 60
before Mr.. Aliens Rules Committee
next week for the green light it
must have to reach the House floor.
Chairman Allen has suggested the
armed forces first try to meet their
manpower quotas by offering volun-
teers a S500-a-year bonus for each
year Of enlistment, up to $500.
The Senate Armed Services Com
mittee failed again today to get a
qorum to consider the combination
draft and universal training bill.
Five Senators showed up, but no
action was possible.
Chairman Gurney called another
session for this afternoon, but with
little prospect of reaching a de-
cision on the bill this week.

Senator Lodge questioned the wis

adding this may be exactly what
Communist leaders want.
The two opposing votes cast yes
terday were BY Senators Cain, Re-

lor, Democrat, Of Idaho.
Senator Cain told reporters after

proved. The money added by the
Senate Is for the Army Engineer
Corps.
Senate Adds Provision.
Another point going to conference
with the House Is a provision added
yesterday on motion of Senator Cor
don, Republican, Of Oregon for re-
negotiation of contracts.
Chairman Bridges Of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, who di-
rected the drive for a bigger and
better sky defense, frankly stated
that the air expansion was designed
to counter Russia's superiority in
ground forces.

versary-Russia," he told his COL
leagues.
But Senator Lodge, Republican, Of
Massachusetts,, who served as an
Army oflcer in the last war, scoffed
at the suggestion by Secretary for
Air Symington that Russia will go
to war as soon as she has the
atomic bomb"
Instead Senator Lodge said 1t Is
more likely the Soviets would 60 to

to get a compulsory manpower
measure through in this election
year. The Allen bonus plan also
may tempt some House members to
try that until after the election,
when they could turn to the draft
If the volunteer system failed.
Soon after the Senate acted on
the 70-group air strength plan, the
Air Force revealed it will be ready
to place orders for 2,727 new planes
as soon as the measure becomes law
These orders would include: 234
bombers, l,575 jet fighters and 9o9
reconnaissance, transport, training
rescue and liason planes.
As the bill passed the Senate it
carried a total of s3,233 200, 600
