And Metro's gone lavish and engaged the famous Booth Tarkington to supply the story for the next picture.

But Edith is one of those Hollywood-born gals who came east to become be-come a success, and she refuses to return. m Pity Marjorie Reynolds a dozen star-shaped ornaments were stuck to her arms, shoulders, chest and back with liquid cement, for "Bring on lie Girls," which stars her with Veronica Lake, Eddie Bracken and Sonny Tufts.

Bres-lau Bres-lau and Bremen. This new guerrilla warfare differs from that of parti-san parti-san units inside France, Yugoslavia and Greece In that few of the guer-rilla guer-rilla troops are Germans. The bulk are Frenchmen and Russians who were captured earlier in the war and have been used as slave labor In the reich. All of these workers were carefully guarded by Himmler until recently. Most lived in big cities and worked In large Industrial In-dustrial plants. In Berlin for example, hundreds of thousands of slave laborers have been housed In fenced off temporary barracks in the heart of the city. But recent powerful allied air raids have created such chaos that thousands of foreign workers work-ers escaped from their enclosures en-closures and have hidden in the bomb ruins.

Once Berlin is taken it is expected that the several million slave laborers labor-ers will flare into such revolt that Germany except in the mountainous mountain-ous south will cave like an eggshell egg-shell OVER-AGE SERVICEMEN Greatest hardship on men In the army probably is with enlisted men over 38, now too old to become officers offi-cers but who can't resign as officers can. Typical case of how this hardship hard-ship works is that of CpL Alexander C. Sioris, age 45, who has served in the army three years, most of the time overseas. Corporal Sioris is not only a college graduate, but holds a doctor's degree. Twice he was recommended for officers' training school, but each time his unit moved overseas and he had to sail with Jiis unit. Now he is too old to be commissioned, too old for combat, com-bat, yet under present army rules must be kept on doing menial jobs. There are thousands of similar cases. What the army needs is a good overhauling of its manpower, especially older men who have been in the army a long time. NEW MANPOWER PROGRAM War Manpower Commission Director Paul McNutt may put a new program into effect very soon in all light labor areas. This would limit employers in nonessential non-essential or less essential Industries Indus-tries to a certain percentage of the number of workers they employed em-ployed last year. This ceiling-em-ployee program has already been tried out in Chicago and proven successful. Chicago employers in nonessential non-essential and less essential Industries In-dustries will be required to cut the number of employees on the payroll 10 per cent by March 15. SECRET RED WEAPONS The Russians are way ahead of both the United States and Great Britain in the use of rocket guns, have employed them with devastating devas-tating effect in the lightning drive through Poland, and particularly in the offensive against the Nazis in East Prussia. One new and very important weapon which Stalin unveiled iff the new drive is the 100-ton tank named after himself. The Stalin tank is superior to the German royal tiger tank, and our own Sherman heavy ant It carries a 4.8-inch gun as against the Wnch gun carried on our Sherman. So long as the ground I re-mains re-mains hard, the Stalin tank is capa-Se capa-Se of resisting any but the larges point-blank German shells.

INSOFAR as so-called fan mall goes, the bulk of the correspondence correspond-ence we have received lately concerns con-cerns the scoring in boxing matches. Apparently there Is a nationwide na-tionwide interest in attempting to solve this problem, which Commissioner Commis-sioner Eddie Eagan of New York has tackled so intelligently. He is making progress, but there are still many tall barricades along the road. His campaign, however, has started many fans to thinking along these lines. For example here is one letter I think worth recording. It comes to me from Ma. Richard Rich-ard Maibaum of the U. S. army signal corps: "Dear Mr. Rice: As chief, combat films branch, signal corps photographic center, one of my duties Is supervising supervis-ing the review of several hundred thousand feet of film per month shot by army combat Gran Hand Rice cameramen, all , over the world, much of It under battle conditions. The exposed negative, unprocessed, is sent in from the field accompanied by caption sheets in which the cameramen cam-eramen describe the action they have photographed. And I am often amazed at the discrepancy between what actually appears on the film and what the cameramen in all good faith believe will be found there. 'Wish Fulfillment' "I think I found the answer to the puzzler about scoring boxing matches the night a friend of mine lost a .unanimous decision after a fight in which I thought he won every round. The boy was young. clean-cut, honest, stout-hearted and skillful. I had a strong personal in terest In his career. The match was crucial, a big step up if he won. "On the heels of the shock admin istered by the decision I indulged in a little introspection. It came down to this: how could my eyes have so completely deceived me? "Yet deceived me they had, and with my own stubborn connivance. I 'saw' that boy win because I wanted him to win. It was a pure case of wish-fulfillment. Actually I had fought that fight with him, Identify lng myself with his efforts, and seeing see-ing It through his eyes. Haven't you caught yourself 'following' only one of the fighters in the ring and say lng, 'Now I'll "follow" the other fel low for a while? "When the two men touch off no special pre-flght Interest, it is usually some Incident during the bout that suddenly 'fixes' your preference upon one of the combatants. A display dis-play of courage, a sudden personality personal-ity appeal, a common prejudice aroused (or overcome). "No matter how Impartial we try to be, we do subjectively choose the man we want to emerge victorious. And we interpret what we see In that light. Especially in close bouts. "The bafflement is caused by the fact that the choice we make is often a subconscious one. We're not aware that we have installed one of the men as a "psychic favorite,' the one who somehow squares with a lot of preconceived notions so much a part of us we don't even realize we have them. "I think this also applies to the officials, who may be as honest as Abe Lincoln, but who are still subject sub-ject to the same psychological laws that govern the rest of us. Maj. Richard Maiburn, Signal Corps, U. S. army" Six'Y ear-Old Judges Here is a true report of at least a part of the picture. You and I, sitting sit-ting together, see two different actions ac-tions taking place. "I have only one solution to offer," of-fer," the major says. "The age limit of officials should be around six years. After the scrap the kids should be asked 'Who got licked?' I think you'd usually get the true answer. The kids haven't had time to sop up that ego that makes most fight fans see what they want to gee, because what they want to see must be the way lt is." This is a completely correct statement. state-ment. We usually see only what we want to see. As Hughey Keogb once wrote "The world's greatest liar is the man who says he can bet one way and root another." This Is like saying a man can stand on his head and his feet at the same time. A contortionist can perform this feat, but he won't be standing. He will be In a knot. How About Eyesight? Along this line I have just received a letter from Dr. M. T. Gilden. optometrist and eye specialist, in connection with boxing decisions. "Because you speak of the impor tance of eyesight and I am an optometrist, op-tometrist, I suggest that both judges and the referee should have their eyes examined to determine their visual acuity. In plain words to determine de-termine what their degree of vision is, and their visual speed of recognition," recog-nition," (An extremely important detail, seldom mentioned.) .
