OBSERVATION MO0N", STRANGE
 STORY, TWENTIETH

The theme and concept of George Pals Technicolor production, "Des- tination Moon,' might be described as "out of this world" but it is a practical down-t to-earth plot that serves as the background to the film which opened Sunday at the Twentieth Century Theatre and will continue through Wednesday.
 In the saga of space exploration, both American industry and gov ernment face the obvious fact that there is no way to ward off an at tack from outer space. They also earn that they are not the only one looking toward the moon. They know too that because of the earth's gravity pull, which is six times greater than the moons, military power on the moon would easily de- | feat any earthbound fortress.
 Destination Moon," which was directed by Irving Pichel for pro- ducer Pal, tells the thrilling story of mans first steps outward into space beyond our world. Four men take off in the l50 foot spaceship and 46 hours later land hazardous ly, but successfully, on the surface of the moon. Their experiences on the way, their exciting tours about the moon and their final return to earth, is reported to offer fans one of the greatest of thrills.

JOHN WAYNE X
 CAPITOL THEATRE
 STAR IN WESTERN

John Wayne is one of those rare specimens-a Western actor who can really act with the best of Hol- lywood's vaunted talent, and he is the star of Capitol Theatres fea- ture "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" playing for the last time tonight.
 Wayne's solid dramatic talent was first hailed when Director John Ford picked him for the leading role in his memorable "Stagecoach." !" Since then the six-foot- -three-inch husky from Winterset, Iowa, has regularly stepped out of chaps-and- sombrero parts to essay other kinds of heroes, as he did in Reap the Wild Wind" and Tycoon and "The Long Voyage Home and without Reservations" and won high praise from the critics for his excellent portrayals.
 He scored heavily as an Army officer in Fords Fort Apache" '" which IS prODapIy why the ulreCVor chose him again to head the cast of his latest Argosy production for RKO Radio, "She Wore Yellow Ribbon" Photographed in Tech ricolor against the same scenic background as the previous pie ture, the new film offers Wayne the most dramatic part of his car eer-that of an elderly cavalry captain about to be retired just when his vast experience in Indian fighting is most desperately needed by his outnumbered command.
 The critics have hailed the pie ture as masterpiece and Wayne's performance as one of the years finest.

This return of America to the

asked for by the late president,
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
We have faithfully served Bri-

On the occasion of the anniver-

every American to stop long en-

maintain a free and independent
people and run our own affairs
according to the way the constitu-
ton intended us to-and let other
nations do the same.
Or shall we let our fortunes re-
main so interviewer with Britain
that we, too, shall try to rule the
universe--so that we, like Bri-
tain, are hated all the way around
the world?
!, for one, on this July 4th want
to 60 on record as favoring a re-
turn of the American government
to the people which means a
return to constitutional processes.
| want to see a reformed Con-
gress Of the United States once
again assume its rightful place in
the scheme of constitutional gov
eminent - and the Supreme
Court again become a body our
citizens and the young people Of
this land can respect. I am tired
OF seeing a president usurp the
powers and rights of Congress.
Last, but not least, I should like
to see the American people return
to those old-fashioned principles
and teachings of trust in God and
fear no evil-principles of honest
work and self-reliance which are
the only things really worth saw
ing in our American way of ife.
On this Independence Day I'd
like to see these same American
people re-affirm to their elected
congressman that they want to
continue a free and independent
nation - not only from Britain
but from all the other foreign ma
tons which have such a yoke
around our necks at the present
time in their clamor for American
dollars that we are just about to
choke to death.
