"The men hei been deed only JO yen," eid Joe Pasternak, who ii producing the picture "But nobody cin agree on him. T e k e four people, ell of Uiera who knew him intimately, end eech will have a different idee of whet kind of a perion he we. "We ere not going to try to ihow his whole life. To do thai would take 74 hours on the screen; we heve only two. We are filming a story based on his career. It will be a story of a young Italian hoy who found fame and wealth in the United Stales. I think it should be a film that will help sell the Amer ican way of life throughout t h e world." The film. s1 the producer will not try to "cram opera down the public's throst." Will Heve Lets ef Singing "We are not in competition with the Met," he said. "We will have a lot of singing, but it will be fa miliar and melodic like Ihe sex tette from 'I.ucia' and the cuartet from 'Rigolelto.' And we will have some pop stuff, too. One of Ca ruso's biggest selling recools was 'Because.' " Some of the more famous aspects of the tenor's life will not be touched, Pasternak indicated. Mario Lanza, who will play the lead and has a lusty appetitie him self, will not be seen eating one of the tremendous meals Can-so used to consume. Caruso will have only two lovca, his Italian sweetheart as a boy, and his wife, played by Ann Blyth. His death (in 1821 at the age of 48) will be suggested but not actually pictured. Here are some of the facts studio researchers uncovered about Caruso: He Wes Friend ef Copt He was a great friend of cops and alwaya sang at police bene fits.

He received lukewarm - notices from the critics when he made his debut at the Metropolitan opera house in "Aids." He wanted to re turn to Italy and only the urgings of friends kept him here. Before each performance, he in haled a quantity of tepid salt wa ter, took a drink of whiskey, an other of sparkling water and ate a quarter of apple. He believed this put his voice in the best work ing condition. He loved to see his clippings and pasted them in a scrap book himself. He liked to wear fancy clothes and had many dozens of suits. For some strange reason, he was fond of buying garden tools, although he never used them. He was a good cartoonist and caricaturist. He said that his last name meant "a dear use." and he firmly be lieved that applied to his voice. He felt that it was God-givtn and that it was more important than anything else in his life. That will be the theme of the movie to be called "The Great Caruso.' and squalor," he added in a Hon." "We know that communism breeds in the soil of poverty statement. "We are spending billions in foreign countries to coi.ibat hun ger and want as a means of halting the spread of Commun sim, but at the same time we are neglecting these same con ditions here at home." Ralls said 10 000 VFW posts and women's auxiliary groups will take part. The post with the best and most successful program will receive will be S000 and 11,000.

The new spur to defense mobil ization seta a 24-hour limit to the turn around of freight cars ready to move. One section of the order called for a stiff increase in "demurrage" rates paid by shippers for keep ing freight cars idle beyond the 48 hour free time period allowed for loading and unloading. The charges were set at $5 a car per day for the first and sec ond days after free time, $10 a car for the third and fourth days, and $20 for each succeeding day. The present rate is $3 a day for four days and $4 a day thereafter. Another section of the order di rected railroads to have loaded cars in a position for unloading within 24 hours after arrival at a terminal point. Then, when the cars are unloaded and perhaps re loaded with anew consignment of goods, the railroads must get them rolling within 24 hours. In issuing the order, the ICC said that slow handling of cars is causing a shortage of badly needed equipment.
