THE PASSING SHOW
NewMovies,AIso,
Promise to Linger

Inc bWO-nOuIS running
time of "A Night to Remem-
Der" teens with dramatic
values, not the least of
these the unfailing design Of
its special effects to match
the incredible disaster, de-
tail for detail. There is news
reel authenticity-with better
photography-in every in
credible aspect Of the
Titanic's Arctic night Of
death.
Human Drama Wins
For all the technical
miracle Of it, however, 1t is
the human drama that finally
dominates "A Night to Re-
member" Mans behavior
has rarely been so panoram-
ically photographed, this face
nobly courageous, the next
one blanched with cowardice.
On the boat deck and in the
paSSagewayS, humanity pam
licked and fought frenziedly
for its life while here and
there in a luxurious lounge,
an individual waited in
dignifled solitude for death.
No shading of this conflict
between life and death and
the human response to it
seems to have eluded the
cameras in "a Night to Re-
member" 1t is visible not
merely in the actions of the
1900 passengers aboard the
Titanic but in the reckless
race of the rescue ship, Car
pathia, through the pitch
black, ice-infeSted sea which
had already claimed mans
first unsuitable" liner.
The amazing quality of Mr..
Bakers direction Of the IT,
tanic film is the way it laceS
together its huge complex Of
contrasting elements, in
Guiding the appalling one of
the SIS California stand
ing so unheedingly a mere
10 miles away.
A Critics Choice
The film, released earlier
elsewhere, made every critics
10-best list where it was
seen before year-end 1858.
1t is easy to understand
why.
The weeks other outStand-
ing new pictures are more
standard in their merits.
Disney's Sleeping Beauty"
representing a return of the
master to his Snow White"
or fairy tale, mood finds its
brilliance mostly in its tech
nical excellence.
In this respect, it is con-
siderably advanced over
"Snow White" as why should
it not be after all these years?
This should help compensate
for the fact that it is the
latter's inferior both in
humor and music, especially
in the songs that seem to be
making the cinema Snow
White" that much more i'm
mortal.
The promise of 1.-THE Jour-
ney' to linger lies in the skill
of it's cast-Deborah Kerr
Yul Brynner, Jason RobardS,
jr., etc.-to put a high polish
on a melodrama whose excit-
ing elements are its Hungar-
ian revolution background
and a feveriSh romance.

The wife of a Northwest mar
ket owner lost about 5000 to a
purse-snatcher early today.
Mrs. Thurley Young, AZ, of
1924 Midvale road, Kensing-
ton, Md, told police she had
parked her car at the rear of
the market, 3104 M street
NV, and was walking through
an areaway when a colored
man, about 20, grabbed the
purse and fled.
Her screams attracted a
store employee who ran out but
failed to catch the thief. He
told police he had seen the
man lettering about the store a
short time before Mrs. Youngs
arrival.
She described the man as
weighing 100 or 1870 pounds,
wearing a brown hat and Q
sleeveless shirt or sweater.

Sandals Barred,
Service Wives
Go Burefooted

TOKYO, July IA (AP).-
Wives of American airmen were
stopped this week from going
into the United States COM
missary wearing japanese zori
flat sandals with a strap be-
tween two of the toes.
Several took off their zori
and Shopped barefooted, and
that was okay with the store
keepers.
An Air Force spokesman to-
day conceded that something
was certainly inappropriate. "
He wasn't sure just what, but
said, anyway it was all a mis-
take. We are trying to get this
clarified"
The All Force has set down
a clothing policy for wives and
daughters of airmen. Among
the don'ts are shorts, pedal
pushers, Stacks and rubber

in public places.
The spokesman said appar-
emily the policy was being mis-
takenly interpreted to ban all

largely seasonal" labor statis-
ticians noted. although there
were signs of continued re-
covery in the job situation,
especially in manufacturing"
The total number of factory
jobs. for example, increased by
about 225,000 over the month
to 1854 million.
The most significant job up
swing continued to be in pri-
mary and fabricated metals as
well as in the machinery in
dustries. Stone, clay and glass
industries also showed con-
tinued job improvements over
the month.
Gains Consistent
"The consistent gains in these
and other durable goods in
dustries," department officials
said, have been primarily re-
sponsible for the increase of IL
million factory jobs since June,
1858. Factory employment,
however, is still 100000 below
the 1857 level for this month" "
Other highlights of today's
report:
The highest rates of unem-
ployment were reported in West
Virginia, 7 per cent, and Penn
Sylvania, 5.3 per cent. Only
two other States, Maine and
Kentucky. had rates as high
as S per cent.
The factory work week moved
up to 40.6 hours. Weekly earn
ingS were up to an all time
record of ,$90.54. Hourly earn
ingS remained at 1928.
About $40, 900 persons have
been out of work for more than
&c weeks, about double the
level of June, 1857.

S241.3 Million

SIS Million Fund
Called Realistic;
Senate Acts Next

The House today swiftly
passed a $241.3 million District
appropriations bill for the year
ending next June 80.
Prospects were good that the
Senate would also give the
measure quick approval, prob
ably later in the day.
The bill, as agreed to last
week by House-Senate con-
fereeS, was the first item of
business taken up by the legis-
lators.
Representative Rhodes, Re
publican of Arizona, and q
member of the Appropriations
Committee, called it a realistic
budget" in a talk on the floor.
He said it will permit the
District to be operated "the
way it should" Mr.. Rhodes
also described the SIS million
Federal payment to the general
fund as realistic"
hatcher Brings Up Bill
Representative hatcher, Dem
ocrat of Kentucky, brought up
the measure in the absence of
Committee Chairman Rabaut,
Democrat of Michigan, who
was unable to be present be-
cause of illness.
Mr.. hatcher said that he,
too, was pleased that the joint
conferees had agreed to a $25
million Federal payment.
That was the figure orig
inally approved by the House,
but later raised by 50 million
by the Senate. Members of
the Senate conference group
later backed off from their
recommended amount on as
surances that the city's reve-
nue. during the year would be
about 81 million higher than
receipts originally anticipated.
The total budget figure is
about $23 million higher than
the appropriation for the year
ending last June 80.
Free Lunches Due
Included among the budget
items are $266,0O0 to start a
free lunch program for about
1000 needy school children
next September. This is twice
the sum originally approved by
the House. The total public
school allotment is $3.50 mil
lion, including 100000 for the
new national defense education
program as well as the free
school lunches.
Public health will get S34.8
million and public welfare STA

These three departments no.
toriously make the biggest de-
mands on the so-called gen.
eral fund.
