ENDS IN AFRICA

Remnants of the Armies Put Down

Their Arms.

By VIRGIL PINKLEY United Press Staff Correspondent ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa, May 14—The allied high command announced today that all axis resistance in Africa had ceased and that extensive aerial operations were carried out against the islands of the Mediterranean and the Italian mainland. “No axis forces remain in North Africa who are not priscners in our hands,” a communique said. “The last remaining elements surrendered at 11:45 a. m,, 13th of May.” Thus, after six months of fighting minus two days, the last of what once was a large and powerful German and Italian force in Tunisia had laid down its arms and the continent was peaceful except for weak and infrequent enemy air raids. The first contact with the enemy in Tunisia was made last Nov. 15. The allies announced Wednesday night that all organized resistance had ceased. The few isolated axis pockets that went on fighting after

'The More the Merrier'

GEORGE STEVENS, Columbia's man on light comedy, has taken the housing problem in Washington as a springboard for his farce, “The More the Merrier” (Loew's). It rises with high humor at the beginning of its dive into parody, but after the initial plunge, it never comes up for air. Jean Arthur is a working girl in Washington with an apartment, which she sublets to Charles Coburn, an industrial #®coon. He in turn sublets his half to Joel MecCrea, a youfig aircraft technician. The design for living operates on a timetable of taking baths, cooking meals and general goings and comings. However, the bathroom schedule doesn’t provide for the inevitable romance between McCrea and Miss Arthur and complications set in. She, it seems, is engaged in a half-hearted way to Hollywood's conception of a bureaucrat who becomes the obtuse angle of the romantic triangle. In. the course of the proceedings, the bureaucrat abandons his fiancee for a housing project and McCrea and Arthur get pinched by the FBI on information supplied by a cub scout that McCrea might be a Jap. There is one scene worth most of the rest in which a gent has to run the gauntlet of a line of girls who are checking out for the day at the timeclock. The girls hoot and whistle and the gent takes to his heels for cover. Mr. Coburn wanders about searching for his pants and shouting Farragut’s battle cry, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” Between this and the maneuverings in and out of the bathroom, things tend to get monotonous with repetition. On the whole, one gets the impression that there is still room for a good farce on wartime

inand Schaefer as director in 1937. Under Mr. Sevitzky's direction, the orchestra has played a total of 354 concerts, has recorded for RCA-Victor and has made 82 coast-to-coast broadcasts, » = n ROBERT WEEDE, baritone of the Metropolitan opera, will join | the famous Indianapolis Maen- | nerchor at 8:30 p. m. tomorrow at the Athenaeum ballroom for the Hoosier premiere of a new song for chorus and soloist by Cpl. | John Sacco, U. S. army air forces, The song is “Johnny the One.” | Lawrence Tibbet premiered it over the air several weeks ago. Who is “Johnny the One?” “Johnny's a whisper “Johnny's a spark “Johnny's the beacon piercing the dark “Johnny's one hundred and thirty-two million. . Mr. Weede seems to be the kind of man to handle the new war song. At an early age, he developed his chest expansion hoeing potatoes on a farm in Maryland. He developed his voice in high school operettas and movie houses. After these initial developments, he decided to take singing lessons. He made his Metropolitan debut | as Tonio in “Pagliaci” in 1937. A full program will be sung by the chorus and soloist. It will be the Maennerchor’s final concert of the season.

Soine of the shots are magnificent. The story they tell of horror and cruelty should have been told long ago, but wasn’t for various | reasons. The actual horror in the film surpasses any Hollywood invention in the horror field I've ever seen. Mr. Moody, an American business man in- China for years, is a fisst rate photographer and his films are a record of atrocity I have never seen equalled.
