By Harry Macarthur

Producer Nat Holt. who turns
out some of the solder outdoor
action films, has come up with an
other in "Warpath," at the Co.
lumbia. In this one he has en-
listed the services of Frank Grub
er to write the screenplay, Byron
Haskins to direct and Edmond
O'Brien. Forrest Tucker, Dean
Jaeger and Polly Bergen to play
the leading roles, and not one of
them has let him down.
There isn't much new to be
said, to be sure, about the United
States Cavalry and the Indians,
but the "Warpath" scenario is a
plausible enough yarn, punctuated
with plenty of banging-guns and
beating hooves. O'Brien is the
hero of the piece. man bent up
on avenging his late flancee. who
was killed by trio of bankrob-
bers.
A former Union officer, he en-
lists as a private in General Gus
ters Seventh Cavalry, after learn
ing from one of the desperadoes
that one of the other two had
joined the Army to hide. It
doesn't take O'Brien much longer
than it will take you to decide
that the culprits are a hard-bitten
sergeant (Tucker) and a store
keeper on the cavalry post Jag
ger) 1t is cinematically inevitable,
of course. that the girl who loves
the hero miss Bergen) is the
daughter of the storekeeper he
has vowed to kill.
Even without surprises, though,
"Warpath" is cut above the
average Shoot en- Up Tony, for
which it owes much to O'Brien,
Tucker and Jaeger. Their roles
may be stereotypes. but, possibly
because Jaeger had the other two
on their mettle, they make them
lifelike steretoypes. Miss Bergen
doesn't have much to do but look
pretty and no man-in his right
mind would consider her not
qualified for that job.

Hearing Ordered on GI

Serving Against Will

The Army was ordered to ex-
plain in District Court yesterday
why it is keeping DR.. Stanley j.
|Orloff of New York in the service
against his will.
DR.. Orloff. in an application for
a writ of habeas corpus, told
Judge James R. Kirkland he was
inducted into the service last July
after he had passed his 9th
birthday.
Under the Universal Military
Training Act men cannot be
drafted after they are 26 years
old unless they are to go into serv-
ice as physicians or other spe-
cialists.
DR.. Orloff told the court he is
willing to serve in the Army as a
physician, but has been told he
cannot qualify for a commission
Without a commission, the Army
has ruled, he cannot practice
medicine in the service.
Judge Kirkland scheduled a
hearing for Monday to hear the
Army's side of the argument.

contrary. Pine and Thomas are
still in business.
Their latest opus, Passage
West" is now at the Metropoli-
tan and it leaves not the slight
est impression that Pine and
Thomas have even heard of tele-
vision. Their formula is un-
changed. few starry names
working on a story with a gim-
mick or angle and a landscape
which indicates that man has
not yet heard of indoor living.
The stars in the case of PAS
sage West" are John Payne, Den
mis- O'Keefe and Arleen Whelan,
and they are supported by a cast
which includes such names as
Frank Faylen, Mary Anderson,
Griff Barnett and Mary Beth
Hughes.

While the general contours of
this film are identical with others
of the Pine and Thomas library,
the story has its little variation.
This one is about a wagon train
of religious folk which is Joined
en- route to California by band
of escaped convicts. Joined"
actually is not the word. since
the convicts. led by Payne. take
complete charge of the tour and
run it to suit themselves.
Their idea. logically, is not so
much to get the wagon train to
California as to escape the ven
geance of a posse which is fol-
lowing them.
OKeefe's role in this totally
unsurprising script is that of the
young minister who suffers his
flock to be taken over by the
criminals not so much on Chris
tian grounds as practical ones.
He keeps figuring that Providence |
will find a way out for every one
concerned and there is no reason /
why your faith should not be as
strong as his.
The liveliest incident of "Pas-
sage West" has to do with a vio-
lent desert sandstorm, an eyebrow
raising romance between Miss
Whelan and the convicts' leader,
a finish fight between Payne and
OKeefe, and the ultimate victory
of the young minister and good
over the evil in his unwanted
companions.
If Passage West" falls below
standard in any respect, it is in
its pictorial quality. This is the
especially dull aspect Of Passage

 The snag was not described as q deadlock. Both Hartman and mem bers of the Iranian governments oil natiOnalization board still eX- pressed satisfaction" with progress made in the talks so far.
 But after 10 hours of discussion yesterday in the bedroom of ailing Premier Mohammed Mossadegh, the Iranian cabinet still had not reach ed agreement on the basis for re- suming formal negotiations with Britain.

Cn,mestad tells in detail An Alaskan Story and has two editorias-"Alaska Statehood" and Alaska Bush Pilots"
 In their stories of Alaska, these newspaper men and speak of the enjoyable time they spent in Alaska and unanimous in their description of Alaska as great and beautiful country.
 Most of them are willing to leave the decision on statehood Alaska to the Aaskans However we find such arguments these "These folks in Alaska have no representation in our legislative halls in Washing ton with the exception of one Delegate who has no vote They are citizens of the United States, pay taxes to our federal government just as we do but have voice. In respect we have repetition of something which was the direct cause of the Revo- lutionary War = taxation without representation - and that is something which is unthnkabe in the American way of life. We back in the states have no right to deny these Alaskans statehood if that is what they and neither Congress nor anyone else can deny them this privilege rightfully In l947 the people of the Territory voted to 1 for statehood and after the start of he Korean 81 percent voted for statehood Who to question their judg ment?"
 These arguments and statements they contain are little mixed up but faintly familiar. We have heard most of them before. That vote for statehood after the start of the Korean is one with which we are not familiar, however. It may be that this was some of the propaganda to which NEA cruisers were exposed during their trip from Juneau to An chorage.
 Politics notwithstanding, these newspapers are giving Alaska good and interested press. We are glad they the trip and hope that many of their readers will follow the lead of the grass roots editors and come to Americas first frontier of play and adventure"

HAMILTON, N. Y, July 24 -iR- Alexander F. Jones, president of the American Society of Newspap- CT Editors, today demanded a .gov- ernment investigation of the head of the Tass News Agency in Wash ington
 Jones, in a talk prepared for the third annual foreign policy confer ence at Colgate University, charged that the Soviet government had assigned Mikhail Fedorov to Wash ington because of his PolitbUro training, rather than his journalist ic skill
 "Fedorov is not newspaperman at all," Jones said, yet The is listed as a member of the Congressional Press corps and is entitled to walk into the White House"
 In Washington Fedorov described Jones' statement as a ''crazy idea" and most irresponsible. Fedorov said Jones has no foundation for saying I had no training work ed in the Moscow office of Tass."

lobbying with the State Depart ment by Senator Bill Langer, Re- publican, a Democratic adminis- tration has now appointed a North Dakota Republican as Am bassador to Nicaragua.
 The new ambassador is Tom Whelan of St. Thomas, N. D., a big grain elevator operator, po- tato grower, and leading Repub- lican.
 One of the unique things about his appointment is that in 1940 he ran against Senator Langer. Despite this, Langer boosted him for the ambassadorial appoint ment.
 What actually happened was that for about 8 years Langer has been trying to get an am- bassador appointed from North Dakota. lie began harping on this when Harry Truman was vice president, and has continued since. Finally and recently, the State Department sent word that they would appoint an ambassa- dor from North Dakota if Langer would recommend good man. Langer sent them the name of Tom Whelan, who is now being appointed.

 Then suddenly Clements was arrested With him were arrested four of the eight others the Voice of America had named. All Czech oslovakia seethed at the news. The accuracy of the Voice of Ameri- ca was commented on everywhere, and its listening audience has doubled. More than ever, Czechs are tuning in on the Voice to see who will be purged next.
 Note-Despite the State Depart ment's remarkable propaganda job, the budget of the Voice of America and other propaganda projects has been slashed to rib bons. Congressmen who have been doing the slashing have been ln- vited to come to the State De- pertinent briefing room and get the story-much of it confiden- tial-of what the department is doing.

 ! Unlike most Senators, Arizonas meek Senator Carl Hayden avoids publicity. That's why the papers never heard about his quiet phone call to Freedmens Hospital in be- half of an elderly negro, Will Montgomery, who had worked as a handyman around the Senate for 52 years. When Hayden heard tilat the old negro had been sent to the hospital, he personally telephoned the doctor and instruc- ted him to give Will the best room and best care possible-and not to worry about the expense. Telephone MOnOply
 You don't hear much about antitrust suits these days, but a basic case involving the telephone patent monoply is being pushed lby Graham Morrison, the Justice Departments new trust buster. The case is to divorce Western Electric from Bell Telephone Lab oratories, both owned by American Telephone and Telegraph.
 Under this ownership, Bell Tel ephone huys virtually all it's equip ment from it's affiliate Western Electric, and if any telephone in- vention is submitted by outsiders, the general policy is to turn 1t down. This has prevented the public from getting various new | inventions, some of them making the cost of telephone service cheaper
 For instance, a telephone-an- swering service has been invented whereby when a man goes out to lunch, the phone is answered by recorded voice which says:
 MT. So-and-so is out to lunch. II will be glad to take a message for him." The disc then automat- ically records the message and when MT. So-and-so returns he can play the record back and listen to the messages.
 ! However, this patent didn't or iginate with Bell Telephone sub- sidiaries and the telephone com pany hasn't bought it.
 The Justice Department, by di- vorcing Western Electric from
 Bell Telephone, would permit any one to sell new patents and equip ment to the telephone company
