This time they have made Judy | the unwitting owner of a valuable | strip of Manhattan real estate— which becomes, all the more valu- | able when the United Broadcasting System, through an error, tres- passes one foot on her property in the building of their new sky- scraper. Sharing the double bill in a thrills and rhythm, Charles Starrett once again proves that he's still the fastest-shootin’, hardest-ridin’ buckaroo in the movies! Starring in “Outlaws of the Panhandle,” Columbia’s newest melody-studded saga of the lawless West, Starrett is ably supported by lovely Frances Robinson and the singing “Sons of the Pioneers.” Red-hot lead and thrills fill the screen from the very beginning, when Starrett sud- denly rides upon a gigantic catile stampede, which has been started by a band of rustlers.

It really isn’t that bad, but the poor fellow had just come from a conference. A week later, I was in his office and he was working like fury and he had learned the names of both secretaries.

On both sides of the world, Axis propaganda appeared to be reach- ing all-time heights today. Wholly Inaccurate In London, the British Admiralty branded Axis tales of huge losses inflicted on an Allied convoy in | the Mediterranean as wholly inac- curate. The Admiralty,-in countering Axis assertions that the convoy was smashed and dispersed with heavy losses, declared that the supplies and reinforcements have reached Malta “despite very heavy enemy concentrations.” The Admiralty’s communique said that a force of Italian cruisers had |steamed out boldly “as if in an |attempt to interfere with the pas- sage of our convoy” but turned tail and ran when attacked by RAF planes, Cruiser Lost The Admiralty acknowledged the floss of the 9400-ton cruiser Man- chester during the great air and sea battle in addition to the ai craft carrier Eagle, already an- nounced lost, but declared that at least two Axis U-boats were sunk and said that an Allied submarine scored two torpedo hits on the flee- ing Italian cruisers, Official Axis reports yesterday had asserted that the convoy had been broken up with the loss of four warships, 10 merchant vessels, and the damaging of a battleship and two aircraft carriers as well as “numerous other steamers and men o’ war.” MARY JOYCE MAKES ROUND TRIP HERE FROM TAKU LODGE Bringing Mr. and Mrs. F.‘Ander- son and Mrs. D.
