dream takes him back to Naples
whose citizens apparently loved
their dissolute nobleman in spite
OF himself, and who probably will
do the same thing again when he
reverts to his home city and his
old ways. De Sica's portrait of this
handsome rogue is untinged with
any sense of remorse, the more
amusing for suggesting that if you
are this kind of Italian, there is
nothing you can do about it. It
does not change your conviction
that De Sica is a much better pro-
ducer-director than an actor, but
1t is satisfying enough in it's lesser
way.
Fabrizi's dreamer is a more uni
versal type and one of those char
acters which he plays as the late
Raimu's only approximate rival.
He is a former civilian admins
traitor captured in Ethiopia, a
most unlikely fellow to meet in a
prisoner of war camp. His dream
OF home is Rome, a city any man
might miss with infinite sadness,
but there is this about being away
from the Italian capital that he
does not have to listen to his nag
ging wife and his brood of vital
children.
X y X *
Amore, an Italian drama spe-
cialty, is not as much stressed in
Escape Into Dreams" at it might
have been had the film been made
for foreign distribution instead
OF the Italians themselves.
1t figures in two episodes and
in each case with wistful comedy
touch. One of these is the touch
ing dream of the former Venetian
gondolier, whose prewar nights
were filled with sentimental music
and romance. The nights he re-
calls most vividly were those with
a visiting Norwegian blond from
whom he learned the sad lesson
that women tourists in Venice are
a tickle lot.
The other memory of love that
figures among the mems redeem
ing dreams is that of a Florentine
soldier. What he recalls is his
old meetings with the girl he loved
before the Botticelli painting of
spring. a sentimental memory
that is given a comic turn when
the girl goes through a proxy
wedding with the old art gallery
guard.
In trying to make a satire of
the Italians provincial loyalties
with the idea of showing the folly
OF such disunity, the makers of
Escape Into Dreams" let their
message clutter up their screen
play. The story line frequently
is blurred to the point of being
lost entirely. but the picture is SO
favored with excellent comedy
bits that 1t Is rescued from its
worst faults.
Toward the American custodians
OF the prison camp. it has only
feelings Of kindness and for the
pictorial beauty of Italian cities
a most admirable loyalty. These
are a couple of nice touches.

Like the late Carole Lombard,
who rose from a terrifying auto
mobile accident that necessitated
major plastic surgery to repair
the damage done her face, petite
Gloria Saunders should be an in
spiration to all who are beset by
adversely and tempted to give up.
In 1945 Gloria was regarded as
one of the most promising young
5tarlets on the Paramount lot
when she was seriously injured
in an auto smashup and her face
believed irreparably disfigured.
For nearly three years Gloria was
bedridden. but courage and deter
mination never deserted her.
It was television that brought
Gloria flashing back to her chance
at stardom. After a series of mys-
terry shows, she was voted "TV's
Most Beautiful Brunette" by Los
Angeles video critics.
And that was the springboard
for top supporting role to Dick
Powell and Rhonda Fleming in
RKO's "Cry Danger" After the
first few rushes were viewed, RKO
began making plans to star Gloria
in a suitable story.
Others who have encountered
accidents and misfortunes of va
rious sort should get an inspira-
tional boost from the doggedly
successful fights put up by such
troupers as Carole Lombard and
Gloria Saunders.
The credit manager for Mike
Romanoff, Inc, is said to be going

found Italian film makers since
the war.
This time they have made a
satirical comedy, a warm, gentle
and simple work which does not
compare with their great postwar
tragedies but which presents a
winning side of the Italian ma
ture. It is the tale of a group of
italian soldiers in California
prisoner of war camp and how
they spent their years there
dreaming of home.
AS that many soldiers, an Off
Ger and an Army chaplain would,
they come up with a variety of
dreams. The essential drama of
these reverieS is comic; a memory
of a shrewish wife and a noisy
brood of children that one man
remembers with a mixture of af-
fection and distaste; a. disillu-
sioning blond another met in a
gondola in Venice, and several
others.
Italian audiences, no doubt, got
q great deal more out of Escape
Into Dreams" than will their
American counterparts. The lat
ter will find the satire of the pic
ture soft and blunted as COM
pared with our own, but they will
be rewarded with some artful act
ing, an album of wistful music,
and some of that stunning pho
Biography which abounds in Italy.
AS foreign language pictures
with complicated story lines do.
Escape Into Dreams" sometimes
gives the effect Of a chaos on the
screen. This, however, merely re-
quires of the spectator enough pa
thence to sort out the various char
acters and wait for the dream Of
each to take its turn in the mar
rative.
Most interesting of the multi
tude of dreaming prisoners is the
one played by De Sica whose great
ness as an Italian director makes
him especially arresting as an ac-
tor.
Photographically he is rugged

BAGHDAD, Mar. 31.-Arche-

which may force scholars to re-
write the history of mathematics
The Iraoi government consid-
ers the discovery so important
that it has sent a full report
to Prof. Albert. Einstein for de-
tailed study.
Historians always have credited
the ancient Greeks with develop
ing the science of mathematics.
Euclid, who lived in the third
century B. c., won immortality
for his presentation of the ele-
ments of geometry.
But Iraqi archeologists have un-
earthed a 4.000-year-old tablet
which. they say, indicates the

Plumbers Wage Hike Will Raise Building Costs

 Moore blamed government tac- tics for settling the strike in Seat tie rather than in Anchorage. He also charged that negotiations here were stacked against An chorage resident plumbing con- tractors, with stateside contractors making costly concessions, and outnumbering the Anchorage men at the conference table.
 He said many of the Outside contractors agreeing to the settle ment were "one-time Charleys'- in Alaska for one job and with no future interests.
 "The whole thing was contrary the the customary way of doing business in Alaska" Moore said. Outsiders should conform with standard practices there. This time they didn't.
 "We have to deal with eight be- sic trades-laborers, teamsters, etc. Very likely they'll be wanting to reopen negotiations in view of this plumber settlement.
 "No doubt the Fairbanks settle ment for $3.50 an hour prompted this Anchorage demand. In An- chorage we contract with the un- ions at a uniform time. In Fair banks the contract with firms were staggered - what we call 'single-shooting.' So when one Fairbanks contractor gave way, the others had to follow, or they wouldn't get any plumbers.
 eff this boost spreads to other building crafts it's going to mean a big loss of money to contractors who already have contracted to do certain jobs for certain fixed fees

 It said it had informed corre- spondents:
 'It would be advisable to file all copy at Pusan rather than at Taegu in view of reduced com munication facilities incident to new requirements of military pur- pose and the possibility communi-. cations might be interrupted be- tween Taegu and Japan"
 The announcement made no further explanation.
 Correspondents were cut to 60 words each daily for relay to Tokyo from advanced headquar- ters.
 Associated Press correspondent Jeff Erickson at headquarters said the army had offered max imum of 2,000 words teletype transmission from Aaegu ::on a pooled basis" and correspondents could use courier planes.
