ATTENTION MASONS Stated Communication of Mt. Ju- IS STRONGLY URGED WASHINGTON, April 9 —(®— Secretary of Defense Marshall spoke out today against what he called a letdown in public support of the defense program in the face of & {worsening world situation. “Every indication we have from lnhruad is of increasing buildup,” Marshall said. “It has been notice- ahle particularly in the Satellite ountries. The situation not only hasn’t changed in the matter of be- ing less tense, it is really more tense than before. The best this country can hope for, Marshall said, is a period of tension rather than an all-out World War, and he added: “What we are thinking about is possibly & 10-year tension — but the tensior has relaxed here in six weeks.” Marshall expressed these views ir a copyrighted interview with the magazine U, S. News and World Re- port, during which he reiterated again his call for enactment of £ Universal Military Training (UMT) program. Indications are that the House, voting later this week, wil do no more than set up a commis- sion to recpmmend machinery for {such a program.

Our services extend even to veterans hospitalized throughout the United States.” Anderson was here several months ago making the dedication of the city ambulance. “There dre no geographical boun- daries. The only boundaries are the unused human resources and & minimum job is not enough. The Juneau lodge is again justifying Ruler Joseph B.

The performances of the stars, Edward G. Robinson, Susan Hay- ward and Richard Conte rank high on the list of good reasons for the picture’s excellence. They bring vividness and color to their roles and add much excitement to the film. And startling verisimilitude’ resulted from the use of Italian,| spoken by the supporting players | who were recruited from the Ttaliun | theatre in New York, and by film- ing the street scenes in the heart of Little Italy on New York's lower East Side.
