TENSE DRAMA OF
 FBI EXPLOITS !S
 CAPITOL FEATURE

Film audiences will be interested to know that the movie G-Man has come of age. scientifically speaking. The methods of the film FBI have become strikingly similar to those actually used by J. Edgar Hoover's crime and sabotage fighters. The screen is now revealing their ad- vanced methods of detection which are even outstripping those of fa- nous Sherlock Holmes, heretofore the picture worlds leader in crim- inology.
 A case in point is Edward Small's International Lady" which is being re-released by Producers Releasing Corporation at the Capitol Theatre tonight.
 Tnis tense melodrama deals with he combined efforts of Scotland Yard, heir to the traditions or Holmes, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to track down a gang of international plane saboteurs. International Lady" offers a re- vealing comparison of the methods of these crime detection agencies.
 The film stars George Brent, Ilona Massey and Basil Rathbone and was directed by Tim Whelan.

CATHOLIC MISSION
 IS WELL ATTENDED

The mission given by the Rev. Francis A. Toner, S.J., at the Cath olic Church is attracting large crowds of Catholics and non-Cath- olics. The mission exercises begin each evening at 7:30 Through the use of a public address system, Father Toners sermons are heard in the chapel of St. Anns hospital while they are being given in the church.
 Father Toner will speak tonight on the Catholic doctrine on matri- mony. He says: "The Catholic church is supposed to be old-fash- toned in her doctrine on marriage. There is doubt about it. She is old fashioned because her doctrine is as old as Christianity and as true now as it was when proclaimed by Jesus Christ"

"SMART GIRLS,"
 TAPPED WIRE
 STORY, AT 10TH

Action in the Warner Bros. tra- dition highlights their newest dra- matic film, Smart Girls Don't Talk with Virginia Mayo, Bruce Bennett and Robert Hutton, is at the 20th Century Theatre for tonight only. The drama, etched against a colorful panorama of big city life, packs enough excitement for a pair of films.
 Virginia Mayo. Warner Bros. newest star, plays a society girl, whose gambling activities get her into considerable trouble Opposite her is Bruce Bennett, who departs from his usual screen heroics to essay the dramatic assignment of an ace gambler. He promises to make good the losses of his patrons at his swank gambling establishment after a holdup, and it is this opening in- cident which tees off the rapid-fire flow of action.

how they should be divided as
to sizes, styles, qualities, etc. The
evidence that government plan
ners cannot plan is overwhelm-
ing. AS a case in point, after
VI Day, the OPA economists
predicted that unemployment
might reach ten million by June
of 1916. The War Mobilization
and Reconversion Office predict
ed eight million unemployed by
the Spring of 1916. These false
predictions were responsible for
Mr.. Truman's 1945 program of
increasing wages while attempt
ing to hold the line on prices
blunder which is largely res
ponsible for our postwar spiral
of initiation.
The fourth reason is that eco
nomic planning undermines in
dividual initiative and RESPONSE
bility. 1t tries to substitute CEN
tralized bureaucratic planning
for the planning of millions of
Individual businessmen, farmers,
etc, which has made our Capital
istic System the worlds most
productive.
These four reasons prove it is
sheer folly to believe that
bureaucrats in Washington, if
vested with authority, would
suddenly become supermen, en-
dowed with superhuman intel
ligence and the ability to con-
troll the lives of all the people
better than can the people them
selves. On the contrary, they
would still be the same self
seeking bureaucrats with insati-
able appetites for more and more
power.
If you don't mind being push
ed around by little men" at
Washington, do nothing about it
But if you prize your liberty and
the privilege of doing your own
planning, Stiffen the backbones
of your Congressman and two U
S. Senators. Let them know that
you know a planned economy
| just won't work. - George Peck,

welfare schemes, to the point
where he threatens dire con-
sequences if the Congress doesn't
do his bidding? Roughly, they
fall into two main categories:
The first comprises the intel
lectuals whose academic minds
make them ignore the realities
of life and human nature, who
blueprint a dream world in
which everyone will be secure
and happy. They do not realize
that these Utopian blueprints
have never worked out in prac-
tice and never will, because they
never come to grip with realities.
The second group consists of
the bureaucrats. Unlike the first
group, they cannot be excused as
being idealists. They know the
score" Selfishly they seek to
expand their empires, to increase
their spending of our tax-money
and thus become bigger and
more important "brass hats"
Why does economic planning
fail to translate into reality the
pipe-dreams of the first group
and to fulfill the false promises
of the second? There are four
basic reasons why such planning
cannot work to the benefit of
nations citizenry:
First, governmental planning
always is POLITICAL planning.
When the State plans, it is
guided primarily by POLITICAL
considerations, not economic
ones.
Second, a planned economy
does not have to meet the test
of the market. In a free enter
prise, capitalistic economy, man.
power and resources are used to
produce the things the people
want most as determined by
their buying or not buying. In
planned economy, manpower
and resources are diverted from
producing what consumers will
buy to producing things they
will not buy.
Third, the planned economists
cannot really plan. A free mar
ket can determine what people
want far better than some Wash
ington bureau. For example, it
can figure more accurately how
many pairs of shoes should be
manufactured in any year and
