The picture, made chiefly in the Ameri- can zone of occupied Germany, un- folds a gripping story about the search for a homeless waif. Most of the youngsters in the film had never acted before and have actually lived through the same kind oI ex- perience portrayed in the story. The nine-year-old boy, Ivan Jandl, who plays the leading child’s role. was discovered while singing with | an amateur group of children over the radio in Prague. Montgomery Clift, Aline Mac- Mahon, and Jarmila Novotna play i the principals. Clift has scored on !the Broadway stage, Miss Mac- Mahon will be remembered for her outstanding performance in “Dra- gon Seed,” Miss Novotna is a star of the Metropolitan Opera Com- SE DAYS S BR GEORGE ZI. SOKOLSKY I A UNITED FRONT | One of the most interesting roeet- ings I have ever attended was held ilast Saturday at the Hotel Astor in New York to coordinate the anii- Communist activities of about 100 national organizations of Ameri- cans. The sessions were called by the American Legion which man- aged it all. The occasion was than others I have speeches were more There were, of course, were still thinking in the narrow terms of establishing their own purity of recent vintage. And there were others who still insisted upon vindictive separation frcm otheis opposed to Communism. The real problem, as General Walter Bedell Smith, Monsignor Fulton Sheen and I insisted in our addresses, is to understand the enemy, to realize that Communism is neither a political nor an econ- omic system nor strictly Russian; that it is a philosophy of life bas- ed upon Marxism—a philosophy that wholly dominates the lives of those who accept it. This we need all to remember: We live by our assumptions. What we helieve, we are. There are those who say that human nature is always the same. Human nature is never the same because each human being is an individual soul, ja peculiar, different personality. No |two are alike. But many act as though they were alike, and the reason for that is that they believe in the same values; they are controlled by the same concepts of right and wrong; more serious attended. The thoughful. those who moral philosophy, and so, seem to be alike. Thus, if one is reared from child- ion moral law, the Ten Command- ments, the .beatitudes, the tradi- tions of our race, his conduct In life, while never perfect, will be deeply influenced by specific as- sumptions. He will knéw right frem wrong, even if he chooses to do WIOng. But, if he chooses to do wrong, he will know the risk; he will re- alize that there will be consequenc- es. Furter, he will know that a government rooted in moral law will seek to force him to accept those consequences—even, as in matters of murder and treason, the retrib- ution is death. He knows all that lin advance, Marxism rejects individual choice, - EYES EXAMINED | AR Secend and Franklin PHONE 506 FOR DR. D. D.

It has substitutted collec- tive responsibility.

And |there may be repurcussions among the Chinese people when they dis- cover precisel; what “liberation” is. But to alin and Mao, this does not involve a moral problem; it o involves material necessity and survival It is extremely | Americs practical difficult to make s realize that thinking is a proposition. They gen- erally believe ly in action. But behind every action is not only a thought but a controlling idea. When a man refuses to do some- thing on Friday the which dominates | straight-jacket. When a “that just isn't done,” that a thousand years | experience and conduct |codified into proprieties, [to live, how to how benhave. | So when Stalin acts in a certain manner, he is controlled by Marx- 1ist philosophy. And we are shocked ‘by him because we do not under- jstand Marxist philcsophy. We are | playing ound with the stupld | phrase, “overthrow of government,’ when that is not at all what any | Comgmunist believes. No Communist |seeks to overthrow a government; he wants to take over the govern- ment and to use it. He wants to eep it intact until he has made it over. The problem then is how to stf- fen the will to resist such devices. Even if the will to resist is pre- sent, which most often it is not, knowledge cf our own philosophy of life and its conflict with Marx- ism is essential. Without that knowledge we must fail. So Monsignor Fulton Sheen in- sisted that we must return to the author of our of life, to God DEEP FREEZE IN THE DEEP MANEUVERS IN PENINSULAR AREA | KODIAK, Alaska, Feb. 2—(P— | Marines have the situation in hand jon land, and naval vessels and | “frogmen” are taking care of the | frigid Bering Sea phases of the Navy's cold weather exercise.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE--JUNEAU, ALASKA Elfin Cove News Notes (Special Correspondence) ELFIN COVE, Alaska, Jan. 25— A letter from Mrs. Peter Brunger, who is wintering in Bellingham, Wash., states that she and her husband wishes they were back in count of the severe cold weather and high winds. The prolonged cold there is the worst they ever encountered. The Brungers are re- turning home in March. ‘The Old Master Painter was cer- tainly busy last evening as Wwe witnessed the most beautitul sun- set ever. There were many clouds of various shapes with deep hues of dark red at the bottom fading to a lighter'shade at the top. The sky visible between the clouds was blue, at the top of the clouds was green, the top cloud spreading up| just like a huge blaze of fire. The reflection in the bay was just as beautiful as the sky. Pictures were Richard Perry on his boat the Humdergen has been breaking ice here in the Cove.

The March of Dimes program held in the schoolroom Monday evening on President Roosevelt’s birthday was enjoyed by a large group of Covites, mostly every one turning one for the occasion. Games were played until 10 o’clock when a lunch of cold turkey, pickled herring, potato salad, relishes, bread and butter and cake and coffee was served.

Allan G. Marcum squadron commander, at; the semi- mon'hly meeting last night. Neil Fritchman will be com- it of cadets, with Graham Rowntree as cadet sergeant- major and Elaine Molvar, assistan sergeant-major. Thus, the Juneau squadron. first CAP unit in Southeast Alaska, be- comes part of the national pro- gram in which nearly 100,000 cadets are enrolled. Oredit is given by many high schools for CAP course such as will be given in Juneau. Conditions of enrollment and ar- rangements for making application will be announced well before the February 15 meeting. Stanley Tyler, who succeedec . Smith as training ofticer last month when Smith moved McGrath, presented an outline of the all-over' training and instruc- tion program for the squadron last night. The record will be kept for eachi member, showing number ol hours completed in each subject. Before the instruction period, Lt Charles Porter, operations officer. outlined specifications for operat- ing the L-5 aircraft for the squad- ron, recently ferried here by him- self and Ralph W. Melander, assist- ant operations officer. These included CAP pilot eligi- bility qualifications, rated pilot and pre-flight requirements, minimum and maximum flight time; take-oft flight and landing rules, safety reg- ulations, aircraft and maintenance specifications, general operating pro- cedures, a general synopsis and & table of official abbreviations tor place names. Pilot qualifications will be mimeographed for distribution to the squadron. Weather Forecaster Perry Landgren, weather fore- caster, went to the meeting to give the instruction in meteorology—and remained to fill out an application complete with finger-prints and identification picture. In a general talk of irterest tc both the uninformed layman and the weather experts present, Land- gren emphasized the features ot an aviation weather forecast. He described each of tbe factor: going into the formal forecast of the synoptic situation: base and top of cloud layers, upper winds and turbulence, freezing level, icing and other conditions of pressure temperature and moisture making up the “outlook” for 12 hours, with the forecast 12 hours beyond. In illustration, Landgren dis- played recent local charts of sur- face conditions as well as those at 950, 5,000, 10,000 and 18,000 feet irom which a composite picture of weather is obtained. (CAP members learned, too, all about the big snow torm last weekend in Seattle | where it started and how it got there, via the heat wave through | Point Barrow.) Answering a ques- tion, Landgren told of somewhat surprising cooperation by the Rus- sians, particularly from eight north- eastern Siberia stations and others from Kamchatka on. An hour after Landgren began, any CAP weather neophytes were on speaking terms with dynes, 150-| bars, millibars and such character: Porter returned to complete the ‘Announcing New Hours The MIRROR CA FE is now open from 11 a.m.t0 3 a. m. featuring a variety of fine foods initiate one of the two ma-| 'cts of the national CAP: a | DOUBLE FEATURE BILL IS SCREENED AT 20TH CENTURY There are two entertaining fea- tures at the 20th Century Theatre tonight.
