Nl TONIGHT TOMORROW ALHGHt MjGETABLE LAXATIVE ONE WORD SUGGESTION FOR ACID INDIGESTION "TUMS:Clj STAGEEN RADIO Released by Western Newspaper Union. By VIRGINIA VALE THE voice of Donna Keath, has been heard on many top radio programs "Readers' Digest," "Road oi Life," "Ma Perkins," and many more will now be heard in the movies. For she recently completed the leading role of "Lisa" In the Artkino picture. "Wait tor Me," story of wife whose faith In her husband's return never falters. It's a Russian picture, to which Eng-lish voices were added here; other leading radio and stage actors have DONNA KEATH supplied English voices for this pro-duction, one being Alexander Scour-b- y, who's been heard on "Second Husband," "Young Widder Brown," "Right to Happiness," and num-ber of other radio programs. Gene Tierney's father - in - law, Count Alexander Loiewski, has a brief but important role in 20th Cen- - tury-Fox- 's "A Bell for Adano." The former Czarist diplomat escaped to Italy after the Russian revolution, and, realizing that his diplomatic days were over, took dramatic course. He made five Italian films, made his debut here in "The Song of Russia." He calls himself Alex-ander Sasha for screen purposes. Cass Daley has just fulfilled a childhood dream. When she was a youngster, Cass (who's one of the stars of "Duffy's Tavern") worked In a mill in Philadelphia; every day she passed a big brownstone bouse, which she liked so much that she determined that some day she'd be rich and famous, and buy it. Movies and radio did the trick; she recently bought the house, gave It to her mother. Picture the amazement of two sailors when, after one bet the other that he wouldn't have nerve enough to ring Loretta Young's doorbell, Loretta opened the door before the bell rang. She asked them in, gave them coffee, then explained that she tod her husband. Col. Tom Lewis, were just going out, so if they wanted her to she'd drive them down to the Hollywood Canteen. Here's a tip for Alfred Hitchcock fans who keep sharp eyes out for his "signature" appearance ' in every picture he directs. They spotted him easily in "Lifeboat," as a fat man in s newspaper ad for a fat reducer. They'll have a little more trouble with "Spellbound. e gave himself about two seconds on the screen, as a hurrying little man getting off a crowded ele-vator. The human side of the fighting fronts will be brought to movie screens here by Warner Bros, in new series of one-re- el films to be issued monthly, called "Overseas Roundup." Film will be supplied by the army, navy and marine corps. Joan Edwards, singing star of "Your Hit Parade," is the first big singing star to have a stand-in- . She's a Texas gal, Merri Bell, and for the past five months she's had noth-ing to do but sit through rehearsals and broadcasts and collect her salary. Danny Thomas, who was with the Marlene Dietrich troupe on her ini-tial overseas tour last spring, is all set for another tour when Fanny Brice's air show vacations for the summer. Fanny's show has been prepared for the Red Cross for American prisoners of war in Ger-many, incidentally; recordings of top programs are sent regularly to prison camps where Americans are interned. Overheard in a powder room at the Blue Network two young radio actresses having a reunion. Said one, "Let's go out to the lounge and have a good talk." Replied the other, "I can chat for 2 minutes; I have a rehearsal in 3, and it takes 30 seconds to get there."

Mshingtbh HOW HALSEY BOMBFD FILIPINOS tells thts dramatic story about the Invasion of Luzon. "Just before we went into Lu-- clled U the Filipino stew-ara- s and messboys on mv flagship to-other. I showed them a map of and pointed out the Japanese positions that MacArthur had told me not to shell for fear of I some Filipino civilians. "I told them that the only way to get the Japs out would be to shell these key points. "One of the messboys stepped for- ward and said that the marked-ou- t positions included his home. I asked Mm U he thought we should shell it " 'Is that the only way to get the Japs out?' he asked me. I replied that it was. " 'Then if you don't mind, sir ' the messboy told me, 'shoot the out to hell. "We shelled those defenses, we killed a few Filipinos, but we got all the Japs." AKMY SPEED UP Senators studying the military pic- - tllTA hair a ic..a..m. ru Iut---nu ,mt e army ground forces command has been quietly cutting down on the training given to infantrymen before going into front-lin- e action. Infantrymen are now some-times being shipped overseas without any advanced training. Some now find themselves in the front line only six months after having donned uniform. It Is still longer than the average In the last war, however. Mean-while, men are being yanked out of the air corps and services of supply and transferred to the in-fantry. Already supposed to be d, they get an addi-tional seven weeks' training and are then moved outside the coun-try as replacements. One new departure from practice in the last war is that few divi-sions have been withdrawn from action in their entirety for a thor-ough rest. Instead, once a division is in the line, it receives replace-ments, but no real vacation, for months. Congressmen returning from the war front have criticized this policy to army higher-ups- . General Bradley has tried to move green divisions into relative-ly quiet sectors for seasoning, but his intelligence hasn't always been able to gauge what the enemy con-siders a quiet sector. LABOR MANAGEMENT The scene is the lobby of Wash-ington's fashionable Mayflower hotel. A modest, businesslike, gray-haire- d man walks over to the house phone, picks it up. "Room 633," he says, and then after a brief pause. "Eric, this is Bill, shall I come up?" The conversation is between the representatives of two one-time bitter foes, AFL Bill Green and the U. S. Chamber of Com-merce Eric Johnston, preparing to spend an evening together dis-cussing the mutual problems of labor and management. When Johnston first became president of the U. S. chamber, he imme-diately called on Green and Phil Murray, suggesting closer co-operation in the public interest. They have been good friends ever since. FRANCE AND THE BIG THREE Those who sat at Roosevelt's elbow during the Yalta conference give a new slant to the reasons why sensitive General De Gaulle was not invited to join the big three. They say that neither the President nor Prime Minister Churchill had any objection to De Gaulle's presence, but felt rather neutral about it. Stalin was the man who opposed it. Stalin, according to those return- - ing from Yalta, pointed out that this was to be primarily a military con-ference and France was only play- - ing a minor role in the war. Since the Big Three were bearing the main brunt of the war, Stalin said he saw no point in having De Gaulle sit in on a conference concerned largely with military strategy. The Russian war chief was quite definite and repeated the point that if the Yalta conference were con-cerned primarily with political and economic postwar problems, it would be different. But when mili-tary matters were being discussed, he just didn't want De Gaulle around. Then to clinch his views, Stalin recalled that France surrendered to Germany early in the war, and re-fused to turn over the French fleet to the British as per treaty.
