It stars| s a lovely and talented trio, Lana Turner, Laraine Day and \ux.m Peters. “Keep Your Powder Dry” is a hu- man story of three girls, from differ- ent walks of life, who join the c(‘,lc- brated Women's Army Corps. Each has a different motivation Lana, | as the spoiled Valerie Parks, cnh«.'s in order to prc n inheritance; Laraire, as the “Army brat”, Leigh | Rand, is confident of her superiority because of her upbringing and train- ing; and Susan, as Ann Darrison, has a husband in the service over- seas and wants to do her own bit to help speed the victory Almost from the first moment they meet, Val and Leigh are en- emies.

Alomlc Tesl In Pacific Nexi Spring WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 — The atomic bomb is expected to get its 'ocean test in a remote corner of the Pacific sometime next spring. Although the White House an- nouncement that President Truman himself suggested the joint army- navy *est against warships indicates desire for early action, those in a &0 position to know say the prepara- tendants were tions may require as much as five Violet Endres months. | In addition to selecting and pre- o0 is one atom of heavy hy- paring target ships, it will be nec- gioean in every 5000 units of the essary to assemble an array of pre- oiyio g cision instruments and scientists to work with army and navy officials on the test.

Policing of the test area in itself r will be a major task. Scientists can only conjecture and estimate the results of an atomic bomb, explo- sion over or in the ocean. The weather, particularly the winds, must be checked closely to deter-| mine the drift or air charged with | radio activity by an explosion. sxm-i ilar guards must be established in relation to the sea, with its mineral content capable of radioactivity. Officials say it is obvious that the bombing range will be located as far as possible from populated coast lines or shipping lanes and also | that it will be desirable to keep away | from commercial fishing areas where | the explosions and radio activity could cause serious damsgc Columbia Ale's light, smooth, ‘llam Bendix, {and the children of the Johnson | !
