Shipping aboard are Humphrey Bogart as the infamous captain, Queen; Jose Ferrer (Greenwald); Van Johnson (Maryk), Fred Mac- Murray (Keefer); and a neweomer named Robert Francis as the green ensign, Willie Keith. Commanding this erew is the ace director, Ed- ward Dmytryk, who has been com- missioned by the Stanley Kramer Company. Many people said it was a voy- age that never could be made. The Navy would never give permission for a film version of “The Caine Mutiny,” they-predicted. Dmytryk, an earnest, athletit-looking fellow, explained to me the reasons for | the doubts. “When the book first came out,” he related, “two studios thought they might buy it. They submitted synopses of the siory to the Navy Department. These synopses were hurried and crude and distorted the true story. The Navy turned thumbs down.” But Stanley Kramer was un- daunted. He plunked down an es- timated $65,000 to author Herman Wouk and submitted nothing to the Navy until he had a completed script by Stanley Roberts. The buy is the biggest film bargain since David Selznick taid out $50,090 for | “Gone With the Wind.” “Caine” is still on best-seller lists after 18 months, | The Navy is sffering full co-op-| eration for the picture. It has as-| signed as technical advisor Comdr. James C. Shaw, a St. Paul, Minn., veteran who is an expert on smail | ships. “The Caine was an old four Stacker, but you just can’t find them any mdre,” reported Dmy- tryk. “Comdr. Shaw said the last one he saw was in England a year | or so ago. It was one of the 50| given to Britain and was tied up| at dock as a training ship.” The picture starts this week in Yosemite Valley, where the ro- mance of Willie Keith and May! Wynn takes place. (She’s played by New York actress Donna Lee Hickey, who will now be known | professionally as May Wynn.) Then the company spends a few days at San Francisco, where the USS Thompson will be used. The sea stuff wili be shot in Hawaii with the USS Boyle. The picture will be finished up in Hol- lywood, where the typhoon will be staged .on the Columbia lot. An exact replica of the court-martial room at Yerba Buena Island will be used for the trial sequence. “The Navy couldn't be more co- operative,” said the director, “I have talked to dozens of admirals, captains and other Navy men, and nine out of 10 of them liked the book and thought it was good for the Navy. Some of the terms in the book have come into the Navy language. A ‘Queeg,’ for example} is the name for a unreasonable officer. “The officers can laugh . about Queeg too. Comdr. Shaw told me about the reunion of his Annapolis} class of 1936, which was the class AP Newsteateres Chapter 31." S= had shaken off her earlier fright and was displaying a cold anger. Her fin, was calm but ready at the trigger. Brindle tried to smile, but it was pretty weak. “As long as you're going to practice on me, how about educating me first? Why did Durst kill West?” “Did he?” “You know he did.” She smiled and seemed to relax a little. “Because of me,” she said. “Come again?” —_— talking, he was safe. “Philip Durst,” she said, “is my husband.” “So what?” “T wasn’t a particularly virtu- ous wife.” “Harry West?” She ‘stretched contemptuous lips. “Lord, no! He was a pig. He was an addict, too. It was to have him out of the way.” “Reroin?” “Yes, and Harry was black- mailing me.” “An expensiv2 guy to have around, eh?” me Gidn’t want money.” “When the old man was killed I thought I could get you to dig up @ case against Harry. I didn’t actually plan on pressing it—” “A sort of counter-blackmail.” “That’s right. I felt pretty sure Harry was responsible, from the way he acted that night.” Brindle knew that Kidd would be getting impatient © outside. “Did you actually find the charred piece of hound’s-tooth cloth in his ash tray?” She laughed gaily, but didn’t take her green eyes off him. “That was very smart of me. I found the piece of material at the edge of the cliff, caught on a dried limb. It must have been sipped off when Uncle Peter fell. I burned it myself—just enough.” “Of course when Ranson—by the way, I know he wasn’t your uncle—when he was killed, hurried back to town from Ense- nada. He discovered you were up By DAVID TAYLOR MARKE ITHACA, N. Y. &® — The judge was only 15, but clad in his black robe he addressed the two young defendants in the hushed courtroom like a veteran. “It is the judgment of this court,” he said, “that you enter the social sanitarium until you are able to follow the laws.” He was not play-acting. He was following the judicial process of the George: Junior Republic which for almost 60 years has been help- ing “problem children” govern themselves. The republic has its own. presi- dent, vice president end cabinet officers.

Then Harry said he'd mailed the key to you on Friday.” “That wasn’t true,” Brindle = in. “I received it on vero mus have it on Satur- y.” “He was lying to Phil, of course.

The original junior republic proved so successful that George planned to establish one in each | state. But of eight he eventually organized, only tae Freeville com- munity remains. There's a waiting lst a yard long. Applications pour in from rich homes, poor homes and brok- en families from all sections of the country. s The two youngsters before the court had stolen cartons of cig- arets. The “social sanitarium” sentence after a trial in which they were represented by juvenile counsel meant they would be turned over to a specialist in the problems of the young. The republic operates on the pre- mise that a felony is an indication of a social illness and the perpe- trator must be cured.
