The picture which stars Stewart Granger, Phyllis Calvert, Jean Kent and Dennis Price is coming to the Capitol Theatre beginning January 11. The music heard in “The Magic Bow" includes “Romance,” which is the theme tune of the film written for Menuhin by Phil Green, based on a theme by Paganini. Accom- panied by thg National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Basil Cag- eron, Menuhin plays “Romance’ several times during the film, not- ably in the romantic scenes be- tween Pyllis Calvert and Stewart Granger. In the moving parting scene between the lovers, the poig- nant teauty of the violin solo scores heavily. Tartini's “The Devil's Trill” is played by Menuhin when Stewart Granger as Paganni is playing in 2 concert hall. Brazzini's “La Ronde des Lutins"” ayed in Rizzi's violin-making the beginning of the Menuhin plays “Campanella’ Loutstde the prison where Phyllis Calvert’s father is confined. This | music serves to cover up the noise of his escape. Paganin’’s “Caprice No. 20" is d by Menuhin for Stewart Granger when the latter meets | Cecil Parker on the road to Parma | from Genoa. Ancther of Paganini’s works “Violin Concerto No. 1, Opus 6" is played at the Parma Concert by Yehudi Menuhin for Stewart Gran- ger. At one point in the film Stewart Granger as Paganini wins a Stradi- varius violin by his rendition ol ganini’s “Introduction et Varia- ! tions.” Claims (reedon To Be Successor To Lilienthal RICHLAND, Wash.

Mr. Truman said this declaration | was reaffirmed at Potsdam in July, | 1945, and was carried out when| Japan surrendered by turning over | Formosa to Chiang. i | Mr. Truman’s statement made emphatically clear that under pre-! sent conditions in the Far Eas the United States Governmen!\ would not lift a finger to pn‘venl\ Formosa from falling to the Chin-| ese Commurists if Chiang Kkai- Shek is unable to hold it. His declaration followed a meet- ing of the National Security Coun- | cil last Thursday at which a gen- eral policy to this effect evidently was agreed upon by the Chief Ex- ecutive and his top foreign policy and military advisers. No Stintegic Value The joint chiefs of staff have taken the position that Formosa while an important place, is not of sufficient strategic value to Am- erican defenses in the western Pa- | cific to warrant involving Ameri-| can forces in its defense. Last week, the joint chiefs sug- gested that the Administration send a military mission to Formosa but Mr. Truman’s statement made clear that he has no such intention. About the time Mr. Truman's statement was issued, it was an- nounced at the State Department that Secretary Acheson would hold a news conference at 11:30 am. (PST). Undoubtedly numerous quesuons eson, but the President apparently had covered the situation rather! completely. Present United States economic aid to the Chinese on Formosa, sists mainly of furnishing such ba- sic materials as fertilizers to the| Formosan people. In the light of Mr. Truman's' stand, the only thing the Chinese can do if they want American arms and advice is to hire American military mer. on a personal basis | and use thelr own funds to buy American arms, Actually, State Department of- ficials see very little chance that Chiang an his forces will be able to internal breakdown, opening the door to Communist conquest.

A married Chicago business man, who says he is in that fix, thinks he might have the answer. “If worse comes to worse,” said Christopher G. Janus, “I might bring them to Chicago to act as baby sitters.” Janus, 38, is in the general ex- porting and importing business. He is the present owner of Adolf Hit- ler's armored car. He gave this summary of his pleasant plight: His uncle, P. Z. Aristophron died in Egypt in 1944, leaving Janus’ late mother one third of his estate. The estate included cot- ton plantations. Under Egyptian custom, a prop- erty owner is responsible for the welfare of everything on his land —camels, donkeys and the workers and their families. The families of the workers in- clude 12 dancing girls, ranging from 18 to 22 years of age. “I don’t think Mrs, Janus is very keen on the idea of bringing them members of its system.

During prohibition days, it has held as many as 69 prsoncrs it one time. The entire building was made into a jail when the new, suilding was erected. Changes in the Federal Building itself were sought as follows: i “The grand jury vis'ted and in- spected the Federal and Territorial | Building and found that the buil ing is over-crowded.
