Army Denies Charges
Of Film Suppression,
Weighs lis Future Use

FuCuTe use OF a documentary
Aim about Nazi atrocities and the
Nuremberg trials was being dis
cussed by high Army officials to-
day, following denials that it was
suppressed.
The Army's policy, as defined by
spokesmen in the public relations
and motion picture sections of the
military establishment, is that the
f1lm will not be released for COM
mercial showing in theaters in this
country. It is available In 16-
millimeter prints for free showing
lat schools, clubs and similar
places. as well as at armed serv-
ices installations, they said.
Since it was made three years
ago, it has been shown extensively
to the public in Germany.
Attorneys for Pare Lorentz,
documentary tilm producer, de-
clared he has tried unsuccessfully
for two years to obtain Army per-
mission to improve" the film and
exhibit 1t through regular motion
picture industry channels.
Some Objections Made.
Edwin McElwain, Washington
attorney representing Mr.. Lorentz,
said he was told by Undersecre-
tary OF the Army Vorhees last
July that general public showing
OF the f1lm in the United States
would be inconsistent with the
Army's occupation policy in Ger
many.
The late Maj. Gen. Vernon
Prichard, who was Army public
relations chief at the time Of his
death in a cabin cruiser explosion
last summer. had said frequently
that the film was technically in
adequate, stressed atrocities and
did not show the relationship
between the war crimes and dem
ocratic principles" Mr.. McElwain
said.
Mr.. Lorentz handled the orig
inal job Of preparing the film,
'Nuernberg-Its Lesson for To-
day" from a mass of film from
varied sources such as the inter-
national war crimes tribunal and
captured Nazi pictures. A resident
OF New York City, he is well
known here and is the son-in-law
!of Eugene Meyer, chairman of
the board Of the Washington Post.
Army spokesmen said they knew
nothing of any official policy to
withhold the film from CONNER
cial exhibition for reasons of oc-
cupation policy.
Lack Of Funds Cited.
Col. George s. Eyster, a public
relations officer who handled much
of the early work on the docu-
mentary Aim. said that lack of
funds was one reason why the
Aim has not been revised" He
and other officers said the film was
complete but that commercial ap-
lplicants wished to revise it.
A private company ordinarily
would bear the expense OF improv-
ing and marketing any such film,
II released by the Army, and the
Government would be assured q
percentage Of the receipts from
commercial distribution. But the
Army might have to make some
outlay, particularly If the private
company sought extensive pre-
liminary assistance.
An Army spokesman explained
that the general policy has been
to avoid" leasing films to free
lancers" who might encounter
difficult or unusual expense in
having them shown in theaters
throughout the country. He added
that he did not know whether
that has been a factor in the
Army's unwillingness to release
the film to Mr.. Lorentz or any one
lelSe.

Will Introduce Air Lines Subsidy Bill

WASHINGTON, R-Chairman Edwin C. Johnson D.-ColoO said today the Senate commerce com mittee is working out bill to sep arate airline subsidy from actual mail pay,
 "The bill will authorize funds for a complete study by the civil aeronautics board (CAB) of sep aration of compensatory mail pay and subsidy which we hope will result in formula for getting the job done," Johnson said.
 The committee is now conduct ing an investigation into airline fi- nances and operating efficiency. Johnson says it wants to know .why so many lines are operating in the red.
 Johnson told reporter the com mittee bill ought to be ready this week. He predicted that it would be non-controversial and could be passed by the Senate as routine, without debate.
 The study, he said, will require several months and no estimate of the cost has been made.
 Johnson has insisted that a sep aration of compensation and sub sidy in the mail pay is essential to obtaining a true picture of the fi- nancial condition and operating ef- ficiency of the air carriers.
 Air mail rates now are set by the CAB and paid for by the post office department. The treasury post office spending bill, approved by the Senate last week, con- tained an $87, 7,O61 ,OOO item for pay ment of the costs of carrying mail and subsidy to the commercial airlines.

WASHINGTON, (P)-The num- Der of workers drawing jobleSs in- surance pay fell off 57,000 last week, the first drop in a month.

Tax Committee Predicts Three Dollar Deficit

Continued from Page One)
 cries today for more economy and more taxes.
 The estimate was made for the Senate-House tax committee by its staff of experts.
 They forecast moderate" business slump. They figured that in the fiscal year starting July l it would result in cutting the gov ernment's income by $2,100,O0O 900 and adding that much to the $500, 100000 deficit predicted in President Truman's budget. That" said House Democratic leader Mccormack Mass), "is all the more reason for increasing taxes by $4,OOO,OOO, ,OOO, as Presi- dent Truman repeatedly has sug- gested."
 In the Senate, however, Senator Russell D.-GaJ announced that he and some other Democratic members of the appropriations committee are drafting a bill to slice about $3,OOO,OOO,OOO off fed eral spending. Russell said their plans were started even before the report of the tax experts was is sued. Senator Maybank O. s. O. suggested the $5,580,O0O,0O0 Euro pean aid program as a good place to cut.
 Senator McKellar D.-TennO chairman of the Appropriations committee, said he would rather cut government exenditures than raise taxes"
 Chairman Doughton O.-N. e. said he doesn't want to be put in the position of warning with the President. And he wouldn't fore cast what his committee will do. But he said his own position is we'll known.
 When it looks like we are go- ing to spend more money than we've got," he said, economy is in order and important"
 There are three courses open, Doughton said:
 1. Cut appropriations; 2. Boost ! taxes; 3. Resort to deficit financ- ing" which means going deeper into debt to pay for government

How to Coin New Words.

How to COIN New WOrdS.
Where do the new words come
from?
Anyone can coin a new word. But
Iif the word is not correctly formed,
the authorities will not recognize it
and it will seldom be listed by the
dictionaries.
To illustrate what I mean by "cor-
rectly formed" let us create a new
word to meet the requirements of
the authorities. N. P. A., of Riako,
Calf, writes: II want a word de-
scribing person who has a passion
for using very long words in speech
and writing. Can you help me?"
If there is such a word, it has es-
capped me. So let's coin one by the
classic method of using the so-called
Greek and Latin combining forms
Combining forms are preflxes and
suffixes based on Greek and Latin
stemsD Let's take the combining
form megalo-, meaning large y
verbo-, meaning word" and mani

Goren on Bridae

We have frequently observed that
many dull hand takes on luster as
the bidding develops and partner
wakes enthusiastic. The North in
today's hand had nothing to cheer
about when the cards we're distrib-
uted There was slight comfort,
however, in the fact that partner
had opened with a spade. When
West overcalled with two hearts,
North decided to take no action,
but South quite properly felt that
his hand was too good to give up
the fight so soon and doubled for
take-out. If partner did not like
spades, he might have something in
clubs or diamonds with which to
carry on the contest. The actual
North had formed an opinion about
his hand that was not subject to
change and merely returned to two
spades. South was obliged to give
up the ghost and an easy game was
missed.
In the post-mortem discussions
South contended that North should
have given an immediate raise to
two spades, since he had good trump
support and singleton. To this view
we do not subscribe. North's pass
on the first round is good strategy.
Had West passed, there would have
= been no doubt of North's obligation
to keep the bidding open, but with
the intervening bid, North had not
sufficient values to take voluntary
action. 1t is seldom good policy to
make free bids when distribution is
your only excuse.
When, however, South showed
great strength by forcing partner to-
!. bid at this comparatively high level,
Forth should have changed his mind
about the value of his holding. The
mere return to two spades might an
nounce hand with no values what
ever, but merely the ability to- play
spades. This does not describe his
actual holding.
His proper bid at this point was
three spades, which would say,
Partner, remember, I passed the
first time, refusing to give you
raise, therefore my hand was not
worth one, but I have hand that
was very nearly worth raise. Use
your own discretion"
Generally speaking, player who
has previously passed should feel at
liberty to take much more aggres-
sive action than his hand would
otherwise call for.

der's bite. Those suffering from in
sanity were supposed to be cured if
bitten. Since the bite was no more
painful or dangerous than the bite
of bee, the results must have been
unsatisfactory.
In Mexico, the spiders are not so
feared. Their great hairy legs,
spread far apart, look formidable
indeed against the whitewashed
walls of adobe. But the housewife
knows this creature is an insect
hunter of skill and since nearly all
of the family has had one or more
of its bites and survived, the black
guest is permitted to live.
The mother spins a lovely gray
bag in which she deposits her eggs.
Sometimes she hangs this up in a
corner of room. If she has nest,
it is hidden in it. The spiderlings
hatch within the purse, the strong

burst from their prison. Like, all
spiders, these friends of gardeners
are killed on sight. When we are

the outdoor folks and knowsmore
about their performances, we will

Is rated a good weather prophet.
Before q rain, all of these spiders
hide under stones or seek their
nests. After the downpour, they
swarm out of their hiding places.
So the natives of Taranto, Italy,

Tarantulas are found in warm
countries. Some Of them construct
beautiful hinged doors leading to
their silk draped apartments. All of
them are fond of grasshoppers, pill
bugs and other piant-eating insects.
In spite of the cluster of eight
eyes on top of their heads they have

Answer IN DIABOLIsM.
AS I explained in a previous ar

AS explained in a previous ar.
ticle. there are many commercial
words and trade names that are
coinages, such as kodak, nylon'
Frigidaire. Some are pure inven-
Ttions; others, like Frigidaire, are
more or less legitimate coinages.
Many such words enter the Ian
euage and are eventually recognized
as proper words. That's the way the
language grows.
