If Congress goes along with the
Commissioners requests. the We'll

sents building funds which cam

Although $1.544,000 is sought

mated cost Of $715,000 and to

Civil Defense Fund
OF S345 Million Asked
For Next 1S Months
By Crosby S. Moves

President Truman today called
for $345 million to be spent on a
nationwide civil defense program
within the next 18 months and
authority to commit another $255
million in future contracts.
The budget figure represents
the first national installment on
the home front preparedness plan
that is expected to cost $3.1 billion
within the next three years, di-
vided between the Federal and
State Governments.
Mr.. Truman warned Congress
that with modern methods of
warfare our nation could be sub
jected to a sudden. devastating
enemy attack" To meet the
threat. he proposed that a major
part of the civil defense budget
should go in matching grants to
States for building air-raid shell
ters. The rest will be used for
stockpiling critical medical and
food supplies.
Budget Figure Outline.
OF the sum earmarked for civil
defense $40 million will be under
control of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. and will be used to
back shelter projects, such as un-
derground parking lots, which,
serve a useful peacetime purpose.
The remainder will be controlled
by the new Federal Civil Defense
Administration, formally legalized
Friday with the signing of the
national civil defense law.
Here is how the budget figures
for civil defense break down:
Authorization of $50 million for
the fiscal year 1851, ending June
80, is asked for. of which $40 mil
lion is expected actually to be
spent this year.
Authorization of $3.50 million is
asked for fiscal 1852. Of this. $265
million will actually be spent, in
Guiding $40 million left over from
this fiscal year. The balance of
1885 million can be committed by
the civil defense agency for future
use.
For the RFC the actual expen-
ditureS are estimated at SIS mil
lion for the current fiscal year
and $65 million for 1852.
Construction Fund.
In addition to the $40 million
in RFC funds to go for shelter
construction within the next 18
months. an estimated SLOT 1850, 900
will be handed out by the civil
defense agency for construction.
OF the money requested for obli-
gational authority, $7.850,000 may
be committed for shelter building
in 1851 and $255, 10000 in 1852.
The money for 1851 will be con-
tanned in a supplemental appro-
priation bill expected to be sent
to Congress in the near future,
Mr.. Truman said.
In the budget for the District,
no money is requested for civil
defense purposes. However, Dis
trict Budget Officer Walter L.
Fowler has announced that 81
million has been earmarked for
civil defense out of revenues for
the coming year. Authority to
spend that money will be asked
of Congress later when the city's
requirements are clearer, he said.
At present, Washington's Depart
ment of Civil Defense is oper-
ating under an appropriation OF
$3.50 900.
Following up his warning of
possible attack, Mr.. Truman told
Congress:
'"The military services have the
responsibilities for warding off at
tack, but effective civil defense
can sharply reduce the injuries,
r loss of life and destruction OF
homes and factories that other
wise might occur"

THE STORY OF EDDIE CANTOR

bassador to Israel, Leo Ashkol,
head of the Colonization Depart
ment of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, T. Kulick, Director of
the American Section of the For
eign Ministry, and Col. Nehemiah
Argove who came to welcome the
guests in behalf of the Prime
Minister. A great many cores
pondents and photographers were
also present. When one Of them
hurried to take his picture, Eddie
Cantor said: 'You're III a hurry
to take shot of me, well, ! have
waited for this forty years" To
the correspondents he declared:
''I'm very excited about being
here. I have come to Israel as a
Jew returning to his birthplace.
In coming I am realizing the
greatest ambition Of my life, one
to which have aspired for many
years"
In the course Of his stay in Is
rael, he saw a great deal. He
was thrilled to see different ath-
letic and military feats and he
was particularly impressed with
the cultural activities among the
soldiers. He also visited the var
ious camps of the new immi-
grants. With the European refu-
gees he spoke iddish and with
the Sephardic and Yemenite
Jews his expressive hands and
eyes helped him to carry on a
friendly conversation.
Cantor was asked if he visited

was astonishing to see how the
comedian who has made the en-
tire world laugh was weeping at
the needs Of his people. The
great gathering answered the
call. Substantial sums of money
were contributed. Eddie Cantor
made a hasty departure. He was
on his way to Chicago and from
there to other cities where he was
scheduled to speak and to collect
several million dollars more for
the U.J A.
Eddie Cantor and his wife Ida
visited Israel in June as the
guests of Premier David Ben
Gurion. He was expected in Is
rael for a long time, and was in
vited to participate in a number
of celebrations. However, for
many reasons he could not come
earlier. However, when he re-
ceived the last invitation from
Premier Ben Gurion he could not
refuse it. He was greeted at the
airport on his arrival by James
Macdonald, the American Am

ing class. He was then able to
see why world renowned musical
conductors had so readily accept
ed the invitation to be guest con-
ductors of the Israel symphony
orchestra. In no other country in
the world did a mixed audience
receive an artist so warmly and
established such ready rapport
with him.
Eddie Cantor has also distin-
guished himself with the pen. He
has published a number of books
of humor, and has written a SER
ious volume called ''My Life is in
Your Hands," in which he pleads
the cause of needy children. It is
practically an photographed
document. He has written some
original comedies which he pro-
duced himself. The first movie
in which he appeared was "Chil-
dren's Shoes" After that In the
comedy "a Special Mission" He
was acclaimed for his part in
'Whoopie" and 'The Kid from
Spain" He has his own studio
and company of which he is pro-
ducer-director. Not long ago, he
completed the movie "Always
Leave Them Laughing" It is
based on the story Of Eddie Cam
tors life in which Milton Berle
plays the part Of Cantor.
One of his admirers, Jennie
Grossinger, owner of the famous
Grossinger Hotel was much i'm
pressed with his devoted service
to his people. She conceived the
idea of launching a project to
build a children's village in Is
rael, through the Jewish National
Fund, in Eddie Cantor's name. It
was a marvellous idea and there
is no doubt but that when this eff
fort gets under way it will attract
the host of admirers of the great

'Where Danger Lives" took Miss

fitting for a fiery girl. For one rea-

ability to act convincingly. Miss
Domergue was not great sue
cess against this Mexican back
ground. AS a consequence she has
a new frame in Vendetta" the
newest Domergue work which
opened yesterday at Keith's.
''Vendetta" takes Miss Domergue
to Corsica, passionate place if
there ever was one, and on the
whole this is to be judged as some
thing of an improvement. In it's
mistily evil atmosphere. Hughes
latest siren fourishes like a hem
lock tree although even this fails
to make Vendetta" much more
than a haven in snowstorm.
Except for Miss Domergue's
presence in it, there is nothing
really new about Vendetta" 1t is
an adaptation of Prosper Meri-
mee's Colombia" which Mel Fer
rer has attempted to direct with
an atmospheric intensity that will
keep you absorbed when the story
tempts you to relax.
Miss Domergue's role is that of
q girl 10. the ferociously proud,
only daughter of a family which
can afford to love the common
people of Corsica. At any rate,
this liberalism results in her father
being shot in the back by a more

The Cast

conservative aristocratic family
which does not believe in redis-
tribution of Corsican lands to the
peasants.
The law of Corsica in this
period, 1925, was French and cor
rupt and when it acquits the rich
killers, Miss Domergue falls back
upon the rule of vendette, a life
for a life.
Her agent in this vengeful ac-
ton is to be her brother but he is
absent in the army of Napoleon
and, worse still, when he does re-
turn. home he turns out to be one
of those heretics who has gone
over to statutory law.
Miss Domergue has one Corsi-
can of a time making this softie
into the image of a man, in fact
she has to join her father in death
before the brother can be fired to
proper action of revenge.
X X X X
AS a melodrama illustrating the
fatal passions of beautiful Corsi-
can females, Vendetta" frequent
ly gives the impression of having
been written to frustrate Miss
Domergue. During the first As
minutes of the film (only a cad
pulls a watch on a woman like
this) the script is devoted to a dis
cussion of the rightness of girls
taking the law into their own
hands-or their brothers hands.
Since it is obvious that no one
is going to change anyone else's
position until the climatic sequence
of Vendetta" this seems pretty
much a waste of time.
Naturally, an academic discus
sion of this sort even when in
terrupted by some tender sequences
between the brother and sister is
not calculated to fit Miss Domer-
gue's fiery temperament. She
seems considerably more subdued
than is good for murderous melo-
drama, even in such promising
sequences as those in which she
scores off the blond English girl
trying to convert the brother from
Corsican codes.
For a siren, Miss Domergue is
dressed with an almost Victorian
decorum in Vendetta" True, her
gowns are black but they are
copiously cut and have the high
neckline which is apparently faith
full to the tradition that Corsican
girls shall be modest even when
bent upon numbering their
enemies.
Actually, the most exciting pas
sage in Vendetta" is one that
almost totally excludes Miss DOM
ergue until the last few feet Of
film. This is devoted to the
method of duelling practiced at
the time and it has much to
commend it for suspense.
Corsican duels. it seems, were
fought in misty valley into which
the participants come from op-
posite sides. Crawling through the
foggy underground they try to
come upon each other from behind
when they are allowed to shoot
without warning.
The one that comes out of the
valley is the winner. Miss Domer-
que is one of three who does not
come out but her death is part of
the vendetta in which her father
and the family's honor is avenged.
It sounds more exciting than it
ever is.
