Here's my own guess as to what
the outcome will be. think there
will be an increase of musical ac-
tivity at the lot. The 20th-F0x out

the musical vein. About the only
song-and-dance stars at the studio
are Betty Cradle, Dan Daley,
June Haver and Mitzi Gaynor.
Contrast this with MGM's huge
list of musical performers. The
MGM formula may well be copied
by other companies. That lot has
studicusly built up a roster of
stars, directors, dance directors
and musicians who can turn out

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES
BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD R - Notes and
comment ON the Hollywood scene:
One of the main topics of con-
versation around town is the ru-
mored shakeup at 20th-Fox. Ad-
vance reports indicate it will be
unique in studio reorganization;
top executives will be dropped, not
merely press agents and secre-
tarieS.
Adding fuel to the reports is the
fact that Studio Boss Daryl Fan
uck took off for Paris with little
notice. Presumably the axe will fall
during his absence.
There are many theories as to
why the shakeup is due. Most
critics agree that 20th-Fox puts
out the best pictures of any studio
in town. But apparently box of
flee receipts have not matched the
critical acclaim. One reason may
be that the pictures cost too much;
2Oth-Fox has never gone over
board on the economy slaShes

On a night patrol, the men
may have only the stars to guide
them. Often they'll hop from one
tiny clod of dry land to another,
across waist-deep swamps. And
always they must observe abso-
lutte silence, for the enemy" is
all around.
In the North Georgia train
ing area, desOlate mountain
country offers new challenges.
Rappelling. the difficult art of
raising or lowering ones self by
means of a rope looped around
the torso, is rugged exercise any
time. It's doubly so for a Ranger,
who must take his rifle and
equipment along.
Often these problems are un-
dertaken under simulated battle
conditions, with live ammunition
used, within safety limits.
The average Ranger work
week is 68 hours. If a group fails
to complete a problem in the
allotted time, there's no post
poning the next one. They must
plunge right in, without rest, as
if they were in combat.
All of these things are tests of
courage and leadership. Even
more important, they test a
soldiers ability to do a job with
out needless loss of life. The men
who emerge from the Ranger
Training Course at Fort Ben
ningare the best leaders the Army
knows how to make.

/ HEIR morale is just about the

They are proud to wear the red
white-and-blue shoulder arc that
marks them as Rangers.
The ultimate goal of the pro-
gram is to have Ranger gradu-
ates in every infantry company
to increase the fighting efficiency
of the Army, particularly in
areas beyond enemy lines.
I'm proud of the men who've
made the grade at Benning. I'm
proud, too, of their instructors,
many of whom were Rangers in
World War II or in Korea.
They're proving once again that
courage can accomplish the i'm
possible. The End

in our history. But they siphoned
off the best infantrymen from
other units, thus weakening
them. Present plans are that
there will be no more Ranger
Units. The new program, which
aims to train 1000 men this
year, will spread Ranger stand
ards over a much wider area.
What are these men like? Well,
call them super doughboys."
They are the backbone of the
infantry, as the infantry is of the
Army. They're young-not over
3O-and high-caliber officers and
non-coms in their outfits. A few
are Korea vets. Here and there
you'll find one who saw combat
in World War II. But for most
of them this will be the grim
NEST test 50 far of their combat
readiness.
CO. Picks Two
HANGERS are recommended by
their commanding officers for
attendance at the Fort Benning
course. Usually a CO. tries to
pick two men from the same
group, who can be buddies, help
ing each other over the hurdles
and bringing back to their unit
some of the spirit that makes the
Rangers strong.
Part of the Ranger training is
similar to that given all infantry
men. But when the men move
out of Fort Benning to the
swamps of Florida and the des-
olate mountain country of North
Georgia, the story is different.
A typical exercise in Florida
may involve a small group
five to nine - on a night recon-
Nuisance patrol. They are given
an objective in enemy territory
and must reach it in the manner
best suited to their mission.
The hazards of such tests
vary, but the men have been
trained to meet any emer-
gency. They have had a course
in poisonous snakes and in jungle
survival. They have learned to
handle themselves in hand-to-
hand combat, to negotiate rivers
in a small boat, to cross a stream
on a rope bridge land to fall into
water without being hurt).

part of the industry or the regu-
latory agencies, or both. Unfor-
tunately, much Of the argument
is being made more on a basis of
prejudice and personal interest
than on a basis of fact.
Transit Industry's Stand.
To get involved in details of the
transit problem is well beyond the
scope Of this survey. 1t might be
pointed out, however, that most
of the talking so far has been
done by the transit industry. What
the industry says. in essence, is
this:
If public transit is to remain
under private control. the right
OF a company to make money for
its stockholders must be recog-
nized Those who demand lower
fares and more expensive service
simply do not realize that transit
companies. like all other kinds
of industry. are being squeezed by
higher costs for labor and mate
rial, higher taxes and increasing
competition. In the case of other
industries, the public expects and
accepts the idea Of paying for
these things in the form of higher
prices There is no special magic
whereby the transit industry can
produce more with less and still
stay in business"
This adds up to an argument
that increased regulation, whether
it be exercised by one super
agency or a lot Of lesser ones, is
no real solution to the problem.
It may smooth things out and
decrease the regional discrimina-
ton to some extent. But the
basic economic facts of life and
the basic limits on performance
by the industry will be unchanged.
Public Ownership Suggested.
The transit industry in Wash
ington is not unique in holding
this point Of view. In many other
cities where the industry is still
under private ownership, similar
ideas have been expressed. The
same holds true of alternative
solutions offered. These are:

Check Case Prompts
New Slap by Court

Small loan companies were given
another singing slap yesterday
by Chief Judge Charles w. Wood
ward in Circuit Court in Rock
vile.
When a confessed bad-check
artist told the court he had
borrowed money to make good a
worthless check for $75 cashed at
the Bethesda Woodward and
Lothrop store, the Judge asked:
"You didn't borrow it from q
small loan company. did you?''
mo" the defendant replied.
He said he had borrowed it from
a prospective employer.
That's good" the Judge re-
piled. IF you had, you would be
in debt the rest of your life"
The defendant, Oren E. Hall,
SO, Of the 1900 block of South
Pierce street, Arlington, told the
court he had a sick wife, a mother
and two children to support.
Judge Woodward then post
poned sentence until June 2, to
give Hall time to make good
another check passed in the
county for $50.
Hall admitted passing five
checks on September 81 and %.
His sentence on one charge was
suspended in Arlington. Two
other charges are still held against
him in the District.

permit a more normal business
operation. Admittedly this would
mean higher fares and less serv-
ice, at least during the present
national inf1ationary trend.
2. Operation of transit facilities
by a tax-free authority of semi
public nature, which eventually
acquires ownership by paying off
bondholders out of operating
profits. The hitch to this one is
that there is no way of guarantee
ing that there will be any profits
in the face of increasing demands
for service.
3. Out-and-out public owner
ship, with the taxpayer footing
the bills for what the riding public
considers adequate transit service.
Any of these proposals provoke
reactions ranging from applause
to apoplexy. depending on the
person and the business he hap
pens to be in. There are, how
ever, competent observers-in-
some who would be in
suited to be labeled as socialists
who feel that the third solution
is inevitable in the long run,
however painful it may be.
Others disagree emphatically.
It may be that a serious study
can turn UP the answer.

Chevy Chase Group
Seeking Decision on
Brown School Future

A committee representing the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association
and the Chevy Chase Community
Council is seeking a meeting with
the Commissioners on the E. V.
Brown School property, now used
as the Chevy Chase Community
Center.
James E. Schwab was named to
head such committee last night
at a meeting of the two organiza-
tions, which hope to retain the
property for its present usage.
The Commissioners have been
reviewing a two-year-old report
on the desirability of selling the
school property to private in
tereSts.
In recent hearings on the Dis
trict budget, Chairman Bates OF
the House Appropriations Sub
committee questioned the city
heads on the possibility of the
Districts selling the property at
a substantial profit to get it back
on the tax rolls.
The land is in a thriving busi-
ness district at Connecticut ave-
nue. and Mckinley street NV.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
prepared a confidential report
nearly two years ago in which he
recommended the sale.
Besides studying this report, the
city heads wanted to obtain views
of recreation and library officials
on the question and Corporation
Counsel's opinion on whether
covenants restricting private use
of a portion of the tract to resi-
Dental use only would apply to
any private purchaser. AS long
as the District keeps ownership

not be before next week because
of a heavy schedule of work in

views of the Washington Board
of Trade as presented earlier by

In particular, he challenged the
Colladay contention that the
Neely-Case bill was unconstitu-
tional, would cause "intolerable
conflicts" between the District
and Congress, and would leopard
ize continuation of the Federal
payment.
Harlan Wood. a veteran District
