echelon killers, she finds herself
in the presence of LaRue.
With chance to lay his hands
on at least a million dollars ran
som, this dope finds himself unable
even to lay hands on the girl.
Why? Because he has fallen in
love with her.
This heretofore frigid beauty
has never in her clustered life
met a man like this and before
either Of them realizes it, the
emotion has turned out to be
bigger and crazier than both of
them. For the next several weeks,
they live in a dizzy. illicit para
disc trying to figure out how he
lis to placate his murderous old
mama, and she her icily aristo-
cratic father.
A funnier dilemma no one ever
thought to put on the screen, but
funnier still is the fact that no
one apparently recognized its
comedy possibilities except audi
enceS.
The English cast of mo Orchids
for Miss Blandish" has obviously
made painful study Of its coun-
terparts in several dozen American
odramas. They come up with
some wonderfully ludicrous imita-
tionS Of their Hollywood betters
at this sort of thing.
Actually. best of the whole lot
among these mimics is q chap
who undertakes to give a compos-
ite portrait of the young James
Cagney and Leo Gorcey, the
meaneSt of the famous Dead End
kids. Unfortunately for the effect
of this talented imitator, he is
killed in the first few feet of film.
Maybe, come to think of it, it
is this album of limitations that is
the truly shocking aspect Of mo
Orchids for Miss Blandish."
Any one can name a dozen tele-
vision amateurs who are better
mimics and who, except for the
money, would not be caught dead
in anything as inept as the new
Trans-Lux film.

Truman Wants Many Things In His Address To Nation

Continued from Page One) have always been, to negotiate honorable settlements with the Soviet Union"
 "But we will not engage in ap- peasement."
 Mfr Truman's 3,500-word mes sage was first of all a defense of his foreign policy which is geared to the idea of building American and Western European strength to the point where Russia will re- spect it.
 It was second a general outline of what has been done SO far in the way of military mobilization and a broad sketching of what is to come.
 'We are preparing for full war time mobilization, if that should become necessary" MT. Truman said.
 AS part of that preparation, the President said he wants change in the draft law, higher taxes, great CT wage-price control powers, improvement" of labor and farm laws, aid to education, and federal aid for training medical men and women.
 He gave no details on any of these. precisely what he proposes will come out piece-meal later in special messages and through sub
