Of MONEY MAD
WOMAN, CAPITOL

With a noteworthy array of top
performances, Hunt Stromberg's
hreathtaking drama. TOO Late For
Tears" opens tonight at the Capitol
Theatre through United Artists re-
lease. To beautiful Lizabeth Scott,
in the leading role, go plaudits for
an unforgettable portrayal OF a
woman who, after getting hold of a
suitcase packed with more than $50,
900 which was thrown into her car
cy error, is tormented by an insati-
able greed. This greed drives her
ultimately to destruction, taking
along with her all the men who have
loved her.
Arthur Kennedy, as her unsus-
pecting husband, and Dan Duryea,
as her partner-in- crime, register
strongly in their roles of frustra-
Jon and tragedy.
Two people escape from the mach
nations of this fascinating. wick
ed woman. They are her husbands
lister, played by Kristine Miller,
and her first husbands brother,
portrayed by Don DeFore. When
these two pair up they eventually
put an end to the havoc wrought
by Miss Scott. Also giving an out
standing performance in the film
is Barry Kelley, who plays the role
If Lieutenant Breach.
To producer Hunt Stromberg and
director Byron Haskin go unlimited
credit for tense, taut production
of great dramatic intensity. Roy
Higgins wrote the power packed
1 screen-play from his own serial
which ran in the Saturday Evening
Post
Dale Butts handled the excellent
background music, with Morton
SCOTS wardrobe throughout was in
the capable hands Of dress designer
Adele Palmer.

him, Which? ? Jesus said, Thou shalt
do no murder, Thou shalt not COM
NIT adultery, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Honour thy father and thy mother:
and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. A correlative passage
from the textbook Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy is: (p. 302:
273). The Science of being reveals
man as perfect, even as the Father
is perfect, because the Soul, or
Mind, of the spiritual man is God,
the divine Principle of all being,
and because this real man is gov
erned by Soul instead of sense, by
the law of Spirit, not by the So
called laws of matter. -. Man is
harmonious when governed by Soul.
Hence the Importance of under
standing the truth of being, which
reveals the laws of spiritual exist

Delaware HOIstein Friesian
AssO. Sponsoring Meetings
For Kent and Sussex
TWILIGHT MEETINGS

The Delaware Holstein Friesian
Association is sponsoring two sum-
mer meetings for Kent and Sussex
Counties. The first will be held on
the farm of Tull Brothers at Sea-
ford on Monday, August IA, at 7:30
pm. The second meeting will be
on the farm of Purnal F. Friedel
at Viola, on Tuesday, August 10 at
the same hour.
The idea of these twilight meet
ings is to get the local dairymen
out for informal get-to-gethers.
The herds will be inspected and the
owners will exhibit animals repre-
senting their more important blood
lines. Mr.. D. ]. Young, extension
dairyman, will call attention to the
testing and record keeping pro-
grams on these farms and show
the resulting improvement in pro-
duction.
The pasture and haylands will
also be inspected.
John L. Morris, fieldman for the
Holstein Friesian Association of
America, will show an interesting
colored move.
Everyone who is interested in
dairy cattle and who is within driv-
ing distance of either of these farms
is invited to be present. All boys
and girls are given a special invita-
ton. Refreshments will be served.

HOUSE BILL
SAFEGUARDS
COAST PORTS

WASHINGTON, July 81 = tR =
The House voted today to erect
safeguards against the sneak entry
of possible bomb-carrying Trojan
Ships" into us. ports.
Without opposition, it whipped
through a bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to search and control move
ments of all foreign flag vessels en-
tering American waters.
Rep. Celler (D-NY) told the House
the legislation is aimed to prevent
a potential enemy from bringing
the A-bomb into American harbors
under the guise of merchant ship
ping.
Search of foreign vessels would be
conducted by the Coast Guard or
the Custom Service upon order Of
the President in a national emer-
gency.
The bill goes back to the Senate
for action on minor changes before
going to the White House for Mr..
Truman's signature.
Customs officials on the West
Coast already have taken steps to
forestall possible efforts of foreign
ships to bring atomic bombs or bac-
terial warfare ingredients into
American harbors.

crusade to save Alaska" Albert
White. war horse of the Republican
party, was the principal speaker at
the Republican dinner Tuesday
night which marked the kickoff for
the general election campaign to
place taxpayers" candidates into
Territorial office.
In brass knuckle speech which
bristled with indignation White

blistering attack upon the present

as dishonesty. corruption, malfea-
sance, and misfeance"

of the Republican party a commit
tee was set up in the party to in
vestigate corruption within the gov
ernment of the territory. White be-
gan his speech by pointing out that
Norman Haley, former administra-
tor of the Territorial Veterans
Board, had used the funds of that
board to finance personal friends
and had involved over $4,000 of
taxpayers money in deal in Ju-
neau which was never recovered.
White said that out of 2, million
dollars invested by the board since
it was first created about 100000
of this amount is now uncollectable.
Turning next to the treasurer's
office, White pointed out that
former territorial treasurer Oscar
Olsen was now serving ten years
in prison for theft after it was
proven that his office was at least
$4,000 short in territorial funds.

Macarthur Flies 10 Front
Confident of Ultimate
u. N. Victory
(By the Associated Press

Three big Communist columns
speared eastward on the central Sec
tor of the Korean front today
against American lines in the face
of murderous artillery and plane
fire, and the indications were that
the Reds were massing for what
may be the biggest battle of the
war thus far.
On the northeast flank, South
Korean troops attacked and pushed
the Reds back seven miles.
The Second and Third Red Di-
visions-their best-regrouped on
the central front for the big push.
These troops, with the mauled Red
First Division, have been in the van
of the whole invasion march down
the peninsula. They are well trained
and still have much offensive
punch, despite their heavy losses.
Gen. Macarthur paid flying
visit to the front-his second of the
war-and flew back to Tokyo, after
expressing conviction that United
Nations victory is sure. In Tokyo
his headquarters issued a commune
que saying the Reds were continuing
pressure in a manner suggesting
that the invaders were regrouping
and recognizing" The Communists
were reported moving by night to
assembly areas, to avoid Furnishing
air attacks.
Reds Punched Back
South Korean troops, with US.
air support, delivered two sharp
punches, one on the northeast of
the Yongdong sector, and one on the
east coast. In both cases they drove
Red forces back. Six enemy tanks
were knocked out in battlefront ac-
tions by bazooka fire and plane at
tacks. Allied warships helped out in
the east coast action with strong
shellfire.
