MILITARY MOVIES
Movie fans will have to enlist or be drafted to see the new series of military training motion pictiures which Hollywood agreed to make for Uncle Sam's new Army during the next 52 weeks. With a production goal set at a weekly minimum of eighteen reels of warrior-making films, shooting is exijected to start immediately upon the assignment of U.S. Army general staff officers to work with the movie industry's production defense coordinating committee headed by Y. Prank Freeman and his subcommittee, includhig Sam Briskin, of Columbia Pictures; Darryl Zanuck, 20th Century-Pox, and Major Nathan Lev-ison. According to War Department experts, visual training of recruits by means of pictures is the most rapid and advanced system yet devised, and is far in advance of any method utilized by foreign armies.

she has auditioned more than 1500 actors for her program. Among some of the celebrities of today who began cix "The Goldbergs" are: Garson Kanin, Hollywood director; Billy Hal-op of the Dead End Kids; Martin Gabel, now on "Big Sister"; Owen Davis, Jr.; Stefan Schnabel, son of the pianist; John Garfield, and Selena Royale, of "Women of Courage; Mme. Schumann-Heink's final public appearance before her death was on "The Goldbergs." During her eleven years of broadcasting, Mrs. Berg has never missed a broadcast. Whenever she takes a vacation, she merely writes herself out of the story.
Here's an interesting story that actually happened the other night at the NBC studios. Jim Crowley, the Fordham football coach, and Joe E. Brown, the stage and screen comedian, thought they cOuld pull a fast one on Bill Stern, the noted sports commentator. Crowley was slated to guest on Stem's Sports Newsreel of the Air but willingly postponed his appearance when Brown came to town. Crowley and Brown are good friends so they spent the evening together the night of Brown's schedule on the Stern show. Stem was waiting for Joe to arrive when in walked Crowley. "I didn't get my script," Crowley told him, "but here I am anyway." Stem began to perspire. "Didn't you get notice of postponement," he stuttered. "I've asked Joe E. Brown for this show." "Guess he forgot," Crowley said. "I put him on a train for Boston yesterday." Frantically, Stem set to work on a new script. Thirty minutes before air time, Crowley brought Brown in and tipped off the joke. Everybody laughed but William.
Candido Botelho, "The Voice of Brazil" heard regularly over the different networks in this country, .will be a principal feature of Phil Baker's forthcoming Broadway musical comedy, "All in Fun." . . . Phil Berle, Milton's brother, has the radio rights to the popular fiction character "Raffles" and with Doug Fairbanks, Jr. is expected to present it soon over the airwaves for radio listeners.

she says, Mortimer, we're going to that house for dinner, he goes. So when she suggested taking up Christianity he shrugged his shoulders and kept on reading his newspaper.
Yet to take up a new religion is not a simple matter like calling up the grocery and ordering a steak for dinner. With Mrs. Zilch it is more like buying a new hat. When Mrs. Zilch goes to buy a new hat it is a matter of trying on many hats before she comes to the one that she is certain fits her most decoratively. And it is not only a business of trying on many hats but of visiting many hat stores. ~
So it is T/ith Mrs. Zilch acquiring a suitable religion. She has already rejected the Methodist and the Baptist. She saw that the Methodists arid the Baptists had wooden church houses in the village and came io the conclusion that they couldn't be the best people.
She feels that if she goes into ' a church she should go into one that would be most becoming to her, just as she chose the more expensive fiir coat.
Now she hangs in indecision between the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians. Both have handsome granite Gothic edifices in the village and she has ascertained that both have good people in their memberships. If the Episcopalian church hks among its members the Blacks who are the big doorknob people, the Presbyterians have the Whites who are the big gas and electric people. Mrs. Zilch hangs horribly troubled between the two, not knowing which way to turn.
All this is brought to me in a letter by a friend of Mrs. Zilch who, in her behalf, consults my wisdom in the matter. Well, if Mrs. Zilch v/ishes to take up a new and handsome religion I think I know one: It is as quaint as any of the charming antiques Mrs. Zilch treasures in her house. It is bright with candle lights and I have heard of Mrs. Zilch's fondness for the charm of candle lights. It is beautiful with sweet and meaningful legend—a feature that should appeal to Mrs. Zilch who is so active in the Folk Lore Society. It contains lovely ceremonials, a fact that should appeal to Mrs. Zilch whose Christmas trees are always so beautiful. It is Judaism. It is new to the Zilches who have really never tried it.
(This is not to say that Episcopal-ianism and Presbyterianism are not good religions. They are all right, too).

U.S. NOTABLE QUOTES OF WEEK
CO-OPERATION
"Now we have come to a period which demands intense and sustained cc-operation so that our beloved Republic can present, in any emergency which might be forced upon us, the solid, imposing front of a great and united democracy. In order to do this successfully all of us are called upon to work together in a common purpose and for the common good that these United States shall stand forever free and that the institutions we as a free people enjoy shall ever be preserved. To this end labor can make its contribution along with the rest of the American people. I am confident that this contribution will be generously and gladly given without reservation."
—President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
WE AMERICANS
"Except for the half million or so of native Indians and half-breeds left and the Negroes mentioned, our people are nearly all immigrants or descendants of immigrants who came here to escape from something they did not like in Europe—religious or political oppression, class distinctions, economic disabihties, or what not. In America they found a continent of unbounded opportunity for the yoimg, the strong and those willing to work and take risks. Streets were not paved with gold, but there was a chance to be yourself and to make the most of yourself. This bred a certain national character in all, whether British, Hungarian, Greek, Italian or Russian, which quickly made them alike in ideas if not in race or national background. And a nation is made of ideas and character."
—James Truslow Adams.
AUTHORITY
"The choice is not between Hitler's order and the old order which he is seeking to destroy. The choice is between order and disorder. The elements of order, of any order that can persist, are in lawful authority. It resides now in the great coalition of the peoples, some now conquered, some now resisting gallantly, some now assisting the resistance—all destined in the end to become a coalition to restore order in the world. This lawful authority, be it of the Poles, the Dutch, the French, the British, or ourselves, is in their legitimate constitutions, their legal rulers, their rightful legislatures, their customs and usages.

FAIR ENOUGH
Here is a really human story about Albert Einstein, . . . We are indebted to Leonard Lyons for it. . . . One of the Princeton neighbors of IJrofessor Einstein has an eight-year-old daughter who made it a practice to visit the famed scientist every afternoon. After many weeks of these daily visits, the girl's mother finally went to see Einstein, and apologized to him for her daughter's constant interruptions of his scientific thought. . . . "Oh, not at all," Einstein assured her. *I' enjoy her visits very much, and we get along well," . . . "Really?" asked the lady. "But what can you and a little eight-year-old girl have in common?" , . . "A great deal," Einstein explained, "I love the jelly beans she brings me—and she loves the way I do her arithmetic lessons."

500,000 WARSAW
JEWS BEGIN GHETTO LIFE
LISBON (WNS)—The clock was turned back several centuries in Warsaw last week when approximately 500,000 Jews were locked up in a ghetto, blocked off from the rest of the city by an 8-foot concrete wall, it was learned here.
Nazi authorities have ordered Warsaw's entire Jewish population to move into the ghetto, which lies in the central district of the former Polish capital. The housing shortage in the ghetto is so severe that as many as seven persons must share one room.
The concrete wall surrounds more than 100 city blocks and closes off 200 streets and street car lines. The huge wall includes 18 entrances but persons wishing to enter or leave the ghetto miist secure a special pass. Even non-Jews who want to enter the district must receive special permission.
When announcement was made last winter of the proposed construction of the wall, the Nazis denied that the measure was anti-Semitic but maintained that it was strictly a health move designed to protect Jews and Poles alike from epidemics likely to follow the war.
Henceforth, Warsaw Jews must conduct all their businesses inside the ghetto walls. Visits to the outside city will be permitted only on special occasions.
At the same time, the "Warschauer Zeitung" reported that a similar ghetto had been established in Ra-dom, Poland, and that the Jewish population of that city had received orders to vacate their present homes and move into the ghetto.
The newspaper reported also that use of the inain postoffice in Krakow had* been denied to Jews, who must now use the suburban branches.
is the order of these lawful authorities among all the peoples. The order which will emerge from this war is the order which these lawful authorities lawfully prescribe. No other order can be imagined, constructed, or mahitained; anything else is perpetual disorder because it extends no further than a cannon can shoot." —Walter Lippman.
