Political Kettle Boils "pHE g political ket-- - tie has reached the boiling point, On the national stage, the cooking started when Harry Truman and Thomas Dewey formally squared off before Labor Day audiences. Simul taneously, a number of equally ex-citing and significant state contests were joined. To the smart politicoes, these local battles are second in importance only to the "big top" melee. For the know that what happens in these state arenas will profoundly affect not only the national contest but also the shape of things after-ward. The control of congress, of pow-erful organizations in key states, and, In the event Mr. Truman loses, of the national Democratic machinery, are at stake in these tests. Intensifying the concern of the po-litical generalissimos are two fac-tors: The great body of "undecided" voters, manifest in every important poll; and the spectacular upset of Memphis Boss Crump by crusading Rep Estes Kefauver. To the profes-sional politicoes, these two items spell uncertainty. Anything can hap-pen. The general public is itchy and new and fresher-soundin- g voices have a strong appeal. Rank Surprise High-rankin- g officers are In for a surprise when the report of the advisory commission on serv-ice pay is published. The commission will recom-mend increases for enlisted men and junior officers, but none for the top grades. In fact, they ac-tually may face a pay cut in the recommended elimination of tax deductions and certain allow-ances. A previous committee of gen-erals and admirals bad recom-mended pay boosts for all ranks, with the top echelons getting the biggest Increases. Defense Secre-tary Forrestal didn't even both-er to send this report to con-gress. Instead he appointed the civilian commission to make a new study. Shipping Ban Violated The U. S. still is shipping vital war material to countries behind the iron curtain. And these shipments still are be-ing made with approval of the com-merce department's office of inter-national trade. This is the agency that formerly was headed by Wi-lliam Remington, leading figure in the Russian "spy" disclosures of the house activities committee. This astounding trade still is going on despite the administra-tion's announced policy of ban-ning it, despite the warlike ag-gressions and provocations of Russia and also despite the world-wid- e furor over the con-gressional revelations and their attending fantastic ramifica-tions. This column definitely has es-tablished the following facts re-garding the continued export of war potentials to Communist-rule- d coun-tries: The OIT has secretly issued a li-cense for export of a large quan-tity of ball bearings and steel balls (for the manufacture of bearings) to Czechoslovakia. This license was issued to the Overseas Mercantile company, N. Y. Satellite Czechoslovakia is today one of Russia's major munitions producers. The great Skoda plant has been converted entirely to mil-itary output. Further, ball bearings are a key essential in the making of war goods. Two of the most costly air force raids into Germany during the recent war were for the pur-pose of knocking out ball-bearin- g plants. An official of the Overseas Mer-cantil- e company admitted that the ball bearings being shipped to Czechoslovakia could be used in war preparations.

He'll play a young deputy sheriff who be-comes state senator, a handsome weakling who breaks or at least bruises Joan's heart, with Vir-ginia Houston as her rival for his affections. Incidentally, Miss Houston, a graduate of the Omaha community playhouse (Dorothy McGuire and Henry Fonda came from there), got the role because Curtiz saw her at a party for Mimi Chandler. it- - A' When a Memphis lad in Yankee stadium yelled "He did It for me!" when Joe Di Maggio hit a home run, Dick Jurgens wondered if he was right. Everything else had been done for him as one of the teen-ager- popularity contest win-ners visiting New York this sum-mer. They appeared on Jurgens' "Spotlight Revue" and visited the town's high spots. Twenty-si- x boys and girls have been spending New York week-end- s as a result of achievemtnt contests conducted by youth organizations all over the country.
