Warm Reception.

“we Did It Before” the all. soldier revue of Camp Atterbury’s 83d division, went over the top at the Murat theater last night. The house was packed, The audience had a wonderful time. So did the men of the 83d division. So did Governor -Schricker, who was present in his white hat; Maj. Gen. Frank W. Milburn, the division's commanding officer, and a host of other notables present, The revue, “discovered” at the service men’s club auditorium Dec. 7, blossomed forth with several new gags and a simple but effective set-

ting, a huge, blue V set ggainst a silver backdrop.

.Stars Are Numerous

Its stars were numerous, but special mention might go to some of them like Pvt. Sandy MacPherson | — who did the three-hour stint as master of ceremonies; Fvt. Anthony DiJoseph, whose singing of “Dear Mom” brought some of the mothers in the audience to seek the privacy of their handkerchiefs; Pvt. Russ Slagle, a one-man show in himself, whose imitation of Benchley sent the audience into fits of merriment; Pvt. Norm Atkins, who repeated his performance of “Thé Peat Bog Soldjers” and “Old Man River,” and Pvt. Rudolph Vereen, one of the best dance artists we've seen on this or any other stage. It was a cast of all-stars. And the show didn’t stop at being a revue, It kept going out into the audience from time to time. When Pvts. Slagle, MacPherson and 8. Peterson did their now-fa-mous impersonation of the Andrews Sisters singing “Strip Polka” and “Sonny Boy,” the show went into the audience to borrow Mrs. Schricker’s hat.

The Governor's Hat

Sometime during intermission, the performers got hold of the governor’s white sombrero which Pvt. MacPherson ' handed back to the chief executive from the stage with the comment that the governor of Indiana was the only Hoosier he'd ever seen who wore & white hat ins winter time. The division cooked up a neat audience stunt when, with the singing of “Let's Be Buddies” by Pvt. MacPherson, members of the cast went through the audience shaking hands with the patrons. The appearance of Fabien Sevitzky in Murat theater directing the ‘“Cannoneers,” doughboy jive band, .in place of the symphony orchestra, got a rousing hand. But that was nothing compared to the ovation after Mr. Sevitzky whipped the band through the dulcet jive of “At the Military Ball.” .

“Smoke and Ice’

When he appeared on the stage, the maestro explained that he wished to participate in a little bit of what you call it, jazz? He and the band were going to play a nums= ber, how you call it, “Smoke and Ice”? It was Eyes.” After this rendition, the maestro turned to Pvt. MacPherson and proceeded to hold an extemporaneous discussion with the Atterbury m.ec. on a trip he once took to California. In the background, they were moving a piano on the stage. Just as he was about to describe his experiences driving to California, the maestro, with his arm about Pvt, MacPherson’s shoulder, noted that the piano was in place. “You know,” he said econfidentially, “why I tell you all this, about my trip?” “No,” said the master of ceremonies, - “I needed that piano for the: ‘Rhapsody in Blue.”

The Band ‘Gives’

With that, he turned, raised his baton, and the band “gave” with Gershwin’s famous Jusiifigasion + of all jazz When it was over and the commotion among the aGdience had subsided, Mr, Sevitzky turned to the balcony and asked the Indianapolis symphonic choir, which two weeks ago performed Verdi's “Requiem,” to stand. The choir stood, an unexpected addition to the show. The maestro raised his baton. Everybody sang

figures, the Germans have lost since the start of the present Russian offensive 125,000" killed, 125,000 pris~ oners and 250,000 wounded, a total of 500,000, or the equivalent of more than 30 divisions. The encircled German forces may be able to hold out for the winter, but it is problematical because of the question of supply.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 J. P.).~— President Roosevelt, havi: placed responsibility for non-wa budget economies on the doorsic: of the new congress, will begin rk today on a.budget for the uc © fiscal year which some goverrn: it officials expect to reach $10: 100,000, 000. War expenditures for fiscal year beginning July 1, 9:3, are estimated at the ‘rate of i .00,000,000 a month, or a total ¢f 35,000, 000,000, and it is with the Hart of the budget that the prezicicnt will concern himself. He pointed out yesterd at a press conference that divi 7 the last year more than $1.000 000,000 in non-war expenditures 1: been cut from the federal bud::t and that it remained for con: css to determine exactly what co: tuted non-war expenditures and 1 decide

tures in the current fiscal year are running at the annual rate of $7,183,000,000, according to an estimate of the budget bureau. . Interest on the public debt is carried in the budget and the increase in that item alone will almost offset- the amount of savings effected during the past year in non-war expenditures. Since Pearl Harbor the government has borrowed close to $50,000,000,000 for war expenditures. With non-war expenditures around $7,000,000,000 and war-expenditures of $96,000,000,000, the budget would reach a total of $103,000,000,000. Some government officials have estimated that war expenditures will level:off at $8,000,000,000 a month, or a little higher during the 1944 fiscal year. This seems to be

verified by the statement on Monday by Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the WPB, who said that in the calendar year of 1943 the government would spend

MacARTHUR'S HEADQU ARs TERS, Australia, Dec. 30 (U. P.). —Two expanding allied wedges in the Japanese beachhead near Buna threatened today to isolate forces still holding out near the western end of the main Japanese air strip. An enemy strong point containing 13 bunkers was reduced yesterday, an allied communique said. This was in a triangular area southeast of the Buna mission which had been bypassed in the early stages of the beachhead fighting. In eastern New Guinea, where the Japanese less than six months ago had a free hand and were planning a thrust still nearer to Australia, the enemy had left today a strip of jungle and swamp one and threeeighths miles long and only 1300 yards wide at its widest.
