ONCE IN A blue moon Hollywood produces an anti-Nazi picture which ‘does not start out to show how the conquered nations of Europe defy their fascist oppressors and then ends up being a weak cops-and-robbers affair, with the Nazis!serving as the cops and the underground saboteur as the sought-after quarry. Today in one of your neighborhood theaters you can see “This Land Is Mine,” which is one of the rare masterpieces referred to. To make the excellence complete, the picture features some of the best talent in = Hollywood. The star of the film is Charles Laughton, who

3 Electing Plays "THE CIVIC theater is currently polling its members on the plays they would like to see next season. A suggested list of plays has been compiled by the playreading committee and Civic-goers are asked to check the ones they like best. The voters may also write in plays not on the ballot. Whether the plays liked by the majority will be available next season isn’t certain, but the poll sounds like a sensible, democratic idea. The suggested list contains such plays as “The Bat,” “Life With Father,” “Claudia,” “The Man

REPEAT AIR RAID COMPLETES JOB
Experts Determine by Photos if RAF Should Return
To Target.
LONDON, June 23 (U. P.).—The royal air force smashes Cologne or Duesseldorf, Essen or Dortmund with one of the great raids of ihe war, causing wholesale devastation. But a week or a month later the British bombers are pounding the same {raget. ; ; Why? The chances are the ministry of economic warfare suggested the return raid. A new expert may have looked. at a reconnaissance photograph and said, “The bombs missed a key shop right there.” Or another exper: may have been reading a letter written to a German prisoner from that town which mentioned the “big white house two blocks down the street” that escaped bombing. And the expert may know that right beside the house is a shop on which factories many miles away depend for essential parts. Maintain Big Staff The ministry’s work depends on just such detalis as those. A big staff maintains such close watch on, German industry that Nazi war production might well be dislocated entirely with "1000 blockbuster bombs if each could .be dropped on the exact spot desired.
accurate. The staff includes many men who have spent their lives in Germany or elsewhere in Europe. They know in detail the targets of the RAF attacks, and may even have worked in the factories affected. It is not unusual for these men to be able to say when one end of a factory building is hit just what machines were housed there and exactly what the effect will be on the factory’s production as a whole. The ministry had much material

determined that Germany now has four times as much track as before the war, but only two and one half times as many locomotives. » - Therefore the ministry suggested to the air ministry that locomotives should be made a special target. That accounts in some measure for the frequent raids on the Krupp] works at Essen, the Henschel works at Kassel, the Schneider plant at Creusot, and such industrial objectives. The campaign also includes frequent attacks by fighter planes on locomotives, of which 150 were damaged last month.

of St. Mark,” last season’s offerings at the Civic were old reliables which had done good or fair busi-
ness in New York, on the road and |
in summer stock, They were safe bets. 2 Nearly all the plays on the suggested list have this same quality of being tried-and-true and most of them are attractive productions. But the list itself is illuminating. Civic theater folks say frankly that next season, they want to play it safe. They don’t want to experiment. They don’t want to be arty. They want plays that time has tested, that are reasonably sure-fire.
2 8 = { THIS ATTITUDE, I think, is a logical outgrowth of the theater's struggle for survival in wartime,
a mighty tough ‘proposition. It is the same attitude which the professional theater demonstrated so clearly on the road last season when for the most part, the old sedatives floated back to English’s. There can be no objection to the Civic’s suggested list of plays. It is a good list. But it illustrates exactly what the ,Civic folks believe will do business next season: comedy, mystery and romance. The lighter vein. It is this opinion which I am inclined to question. I wonder why next season’s brace of comedy, mystery and romance is expected to do better business than last season’s comedy, mystery and romance, why next season’s safe bets will be any safer than this season’s safe bets. And so'I hope there will be write-ins on the ballot and that something of a more experimental nature will be suggested. It may be a risk, but risks work both ways, and the little theater movement grew famous by taking them.

LAST DITCH FIGHT’ T0 SAVE FSA SEEN
WASHINGTON, June 23 (U. P.). —Supporters of the New Deal farm program. planned a last ditch fight today to restore farm security administration funds to the 1944 agriculture department appropriation bill. The house, which has shown an increasingly aggressive tendency to stick to its guns in differences with the senate this year, will vote on a senate amendment providing $150,000,000 for FSA—an organization cut off without funds in the house version of the bill FSA was kept out of the agriculture bill when it was before the house by a technicality, but frequent criticisms of the organization have been voiced from the house floor, and at present a special committee is investigating farm security activities. House critics charged that FSA
