A frothy bit of film fare is
"Once More, My Darling"
If it isn't as well done as "The
Bachelor and The Bobby -Soxer,' ,
an earlier picture with much the
same idea, it's the fault of the
story and not the principals.
Robert Montgomery returns to
the light comedy mood for which
he was famous when Ann Blyth
his leading lady, was occupied
with nothing more important
than learning to put one little
foot in front of the other.
How much Miss Blyth has
learned since then. however. is
apparent in her deft handling
of the role of a rattle Drained
debutante with a mind full OF
romance and little else.
One unfortunate bit of casting
is the relegation of Jane Cowl
a truly fine actress, to the role
of Montgomery's mother. She
has little to do except assist Mont
gomery in the unfolding of the
plot and provide a suitable foil
for some of the proper comedy
sequences.
The story concerns the un-
happy plight of Montgomery on
the trail of some stolen jewels.
The jewels were liberated"
from an old German family dur
ing the war and some have
turned up around the neck of
Miss Blyth. They were given her
by a former boy friend.
Because he's a handsome law
yer-turned-actor, Montgomery is
recalled to Army duty and or
dered to find the man whose
pleasure 1t is to give away stolen
jewels.
This he does, after a hectic "a
hours with the f1ighty debutante

elopement planned by the United
States Army to lure the thief to

Terror" Except the locale is
18th century France.
Just close your eyes for min
ute, though, make the following
slight substitutions, and you have
the most exciting horse opera you
could find.
Instead of the public prosecu-
tor of Strasbourg, think of Rob-
ert Cummings as the sheriff.
Instead of "Robespierre." iden-
tify Richard Basehart as BLACK
Dan, the Rustler."
Look upon the bone of conten-
tion-the little black book con-
tanning the latest list for the gull
lotine-as the map of the gold in
them thar hills.
Otherwise, everything is accord
ing to formula. Mr.. Cummings is
a quick thinking man of few
words (several of which never
were spoken in the 18th century,
His abilities are tremendous and
his hazards many. He is chased
at least half a dozen times, am
bushed several more. and. at one
point, attacked three times while
travelling a single dark alley.
The plot gets a little compli-
Gated at times, and some of the ac-
tors seem to have remarkable
powers of perception-they know
things they couldn't possibly know
unless they'd read ahead in the

France from the blood bath which
followed the outbreak Of the
French Revolution.
He is far more successful, how

ney used to pull together before

screenplays. 1t has cast worthy
of a super-criminal, with such
supporting players as Virginia
Mayo, Edmond O'Brien and Mar

What these and the others are
up to Is undeniably alive with
action.
The screenplay by Ivan Goff and
Ben Roberts begins with chase.
The object of the pursuit is a
crack mail train and the pursuers
are Cagney and his gang. When
the two finally meet at mountain
pass, in which the train is hardly
free to maneuver, the gang makes
off with 100000 in U. S. Treasury
notes.
Naturally, this starts another
chase with Cagney as the object
on this occasion. AS manhunts

AS an anti-climax, Montgomery
suddenly decides this brainless
girl he has abhored since their
meeting is the one girl he wants
to marry. But then in a roman
tic comedy he could decide little
else, no matter what the situation.
The big laughs are absent, but
the picture is pleasant and the

SCIENCE: The Men in White

the deaf hear and the paralyzed walk
by sending electrical impulses or
muscles is foreseen by a specialist in
brain research.
DR.. Wendell ]. S. Krieg, professor
of neurology at Northwestern Uni
versity Medical School, has a theory
that electrical impulses, duplicating
normal nerve impulses involved in
sight and hearing, can be conveyed
to the brain by series of electrodes
distributed over the skull.
He says that since muscles can be
made to contract by direct electrical
stimulation, it should be possible to
place permanent electrodes at motor
points and activate any desired
muscle.
"It is only a chronological STEP" he
said, ''to devise an appliance to scan
the visual field in the same manner
as a television scanner and transmit
it to the cortex (brain covering) in
the same sequence and scanning pat

Money Is Not All

Jefferson Military College is a pre-
paratory school that was founded at
Washington, Miss, about FIVE miles
from Natchez in 1902. It's student
body is only about 80, its finances are
far from robust. Among its famous
graduates was Jefferson Davis, presi-
dent of the Confederacy.
Last week the poor but proud in
stitution added luster to its 147-year-
old tradition by turning down a grant
for $50,000,O00 because of "racial su-
periority" strings.
Conditions to Grant
The offer was made by George w.
Armstrong, Sr., 81, who supported
the States Rights ticket in the last
election. Oil magnate Armstrong at
tached these two conditions to his
gift:
That the school exclude any student
or faculty member with Communistic
leanings or of African or Asiatic or
igin.
That the school reduce its board of
trustees from IL to and permit Arm
strong to name three.
The oil millionaire said he hoped the
school would concentrate on teaching
the Constitution, Christianity and the
superiority of the Anglo-Saxon and
Latin-American races.

Two English authors, at opposite
ends of the age scale, merit interna-
tional attention.
Winston Churchill, rs, has been
awarded the third annual literary
prize of The London Sunday Times,
worth 1000 pounds or $4,000. A spe-
cial jury awarded the prize for the
first two volumes of the British war

MURRAY: The Cos Head Nan Of Steel

THE Congress of Industrial Or
1 ganizations, more commonly
known as the CIO, was in conven-
tion at Cleveland last week. It
was a crucial week for Philip
Murray, CIO president and head
of the Steelworkers Union, one of the
largest unions that make up the CIO.
AS the week began, Murray had
two goals. AS CIO president, he was
determined to purge Communists out
of positions of leadership and, if nee
essary, to force recalcitrant leftiSt
unions out of the CIO. AS president
of the Steelworkers, he was concerned
with the month-old strike against the
steel industry.
UE Takes a Walk
In his opening address to delegates,
Murray declared the CIO would
cleanse" itself at this convention of
left-wing delegates adhering to Com
muniSt policy. The convention roared
approval of an amendment to the
constitution making a Communist,
fascist or member of any other totali-
tartan movement ineligible to sit on
the CLOS 51-member policy-making
board.
The biggest of all left-wing unions
took a walk, however, just as the con-
vention showdown got underway. The
United Electrical Workers, with a
membership of nearly 100000, pulled
its 13-man delegation off the floor in
protest. ~s.,
The convention then voted to re-
woke charters of the U.E. and Farm
Equipment and Metal Workers, an
other left-wing union.
Between sessions, Murray conferred
with officials of steel companies on the
strike of his 600, 900 members for PEN
sion and insurance benefits. Monday

the world to make us 60 through with

views of Gerald L. K. Smith, said he is
not opposed to Jews or Negroes as
such, but he is against racial mon-
grelization. After withdrawing his Of
fer of the $5O,OO0,0OO endowment,
Armstrong said he would seek to aid
a university in Texas for white

The Jefferson board of trustees
was left with a problem. A $4,000
bank note was due this month. News
of their dilemma spread with the
story of their rebuff of the Armstrong
millions.

facturer mailed the college $4,000
check with this message: "You have
been on a non-denominational basis
for more than 100 years, teaching
Jews and Gentiles alike. / want to
make it possible for this to continue" !"
From the National Conference Of

British Curb
Lords Veto

EOR the third time in two years.
i the Labor majority in the
House of Commons passed q, bill
last week curbing powers Of tho
House of Lords, Britain's heredi-
tary upper chamber.
The bill will become law in De-
cember regardless of what the Lords
do. They had vetoed it each time it
came UP before.
Biggest Change In 20 Years
It was the biggest change in Brit
aims unWritten constitution since
women were given the vote 21 years
ago. The new law will reduce from
two years to one the time the Lords
can delay by veto enactment of bills
passed by Commons. The upper House
has no real power such as the u. S.
Senate has, for instance, and cannot
kill Commons bills outright.
Home Secretary James Chuter EIDE
declared the measure was necessary
to give the Labor Party a further
approach to equality" with Conserva-
tives while in Office.
''In the lifetime of any person liv-
ing now," EIDE said, ''the House Of
Lords has never interfered with a
Tory Conservative bill or hampered
Tory government"
The measure was approved by 333
votes to 1876, rejecting the solid Labor
majority in Commons. The Labor
Party has 393 seats to .189 for the
Conservatives.
After the vote, Secretary Eide said
he could "think Of no better Christ
mas present for democracy"
To Guarantee Naturalization
Although the Labor Party has long
aimed to clip the wings of the heredi-
tary chamber, its prime purpose in
jamming the new law through now
is to safeguard another measure-to
nationalize the iron and steel indus
try.
With powers of the Lords curtailed,
Prime Minister Attlee's government
will be able to get the steel bill en-
acted before it goes out of office That
will be at the end Of next July unless
Attlee decides to call general elec-
ton before that time.

Crashes
Commercial airlines few l2,6OO,OOO,-
900 passenger miles in 1947, the most
recent year for which global statistics
are available, chalking up a safety
record of 21,184,OOO passenger miles

Within the past fortnight occurred
two of the worst airline crashes in
history. On October %, an Air France
plane on a flight from Paris to New
York crashed into the side of noun
tain in the Azores, killing all 48 on
board. Because of bad weather, the
pilot was 80 miles off course.
Last Tuesday, an Eastern Airlines
flight ship and a Bolivian fighter
plane crashed in midair while at
tempting to land at Washington's
National Airport. All SIS on the COM
mercial transport were killed-the
worst disaster in US. aviation his
tory.
Only one person was saved-the
Bolivian pilot, making test flight in
the fighter, a P-38 just purchased
from the US. government. He was
ished from the Potomac River with a
broken back.
This time the cause was not the
weather. The Bolivian pilot was
warned by airport tower radio Off
GERS to circle the field and come in
after the airliner made its scheduled
landing. Either he did not hear or
understand the message.
Frantic tower officials told him to
pull up but still he came on. The
crash took place 800 feet over the
Potomac, half mile from the airport
The fighter was piloted by Eric Rios

France

In the Wings DeGoUlle
The new French government of
Premier Georges Bidault brought
sighs of relief from western allies.
An impotent France, three weeks
without a government, is an interna-
tinal hazard at a time when crucial
policy decisions must be made in the
Western Union and the Atlantic Pact.
But the fundamental problems
which precipitated the French crisis
remain to harass the Bidault gov
ernment. Bidault is the head of
the Popular Republican Movement
(MRP), center of the three-party
coalition which has been governing
France. To the left are the Socialists,
to the right are the Radical Socialists
(actually conservatives). g.
Bidault, who headed the under
ground resistance to Nazis during the
war, succeeded in forming a cabinet
after a'Socialist, Jules Moch, and a
Radical, Rene Mayer, had both failed.
Bidault's cabinet, like his prede-
ceSsors, is a coalition of the three
middle-of-the-road parties. On the
outside, unrepresented in the govern
ment, are the Communists on the ex-
treme left and Gen. Charles de
Gaulle's Rally of the French People
on the extreme right.
Another economic crisis, which
seems almost imminent, is likely tc
produce a general election. That is
what DeGaulle devoutly hopes.
The wartime leader of the Free
French has been standing in the
wings awaiting a call. But if hi,
rightists win control of Parliament
DeGaulle would change the constitu
ton and write in broad powers fol
the chief executive. He believes tina
only strong man can lead France
out of the welter of its economic ant
political problems.
