HARVARD PREXY
FOR ALLIES AID
Boston, May 30. (.JPt James
B. Conant, president of Har
vard, believes the United States
should take immediate steps to
aid the Allies In the form of
arms and supplies' even though
these steps might result In war
for America.
"The actions we propose," he
said in a national radio address
last night, "might eventuate In
war. But fear of war is no
basis for a national policy.
"To my mind a complete
nazi victory over France and
England is by necessity but a
prelude to Hitler's attempt to
dominate the world," he con
tinued. STAMP FOR SPINSTERS

BRAZIL CALLED
AMERICAS' KEY
Major General Reports On
Vital Needs in U. S. Set
up Limits Are Cited
San Francisco (U.P) Brazil Is
the "all-essential" country In
South America for making pos
sible the carrying out of the
United States' new policy of In
suring both Americas from in
vasion, according tc Major-Gen.
David P. Barrows of the U. S.
army.
Barrows, former president of
the University of California,
prepared a detailed study for
the national defense section of
the Commonwealth club of
California on the new problems
created by America's determin
ation to assume the defense in
both southern Atlantic and
southern Pacific waters.
Copies of the report have
been placed in the hands of
President Roosevelt, congres
sional leaders and the navy and
war departments.
Two Oceans Considered
Explaining that a fleet can
only operate within a radius of
2,000 to 2.500 miles, and an air
force within a smaller area,
Barrows points out the effec
tive defense of the American
fleet toward the south would be
limited merely to the northern
countries of South America. On
the Pacific side, he points out,
the circle of the fleet's effec
tiveness would pass through
Peru. The present Atlantic
bases, he said, furnish protec
tion only as far south as the
northern half of Brazil.
"While we can make our de
fense of the Panama canal and
the Caribbean effective with
our present naval and air bases,
yet if we are to carry out our
newly defined policy in North
and South America, we must
have help from the southern
continent," he report stated.
"That help must necessarily
be less military than naval in
cooperation with our own ef
forts. "in south America," In my
opinion, "the essential state Is
Brazil. Brazil Is a mighty state,
embracing half of the continent
and half of the people.
"I mean by cooperation. Bra
zll't willingness to put whaf
ever she hat that is useful to
us at our disposal."

NAVY TO SPREAD
ANTI-SUB NETS
New Type Aircraft Cannon
Also to Take Large Part of
Navy's Emergency Fund
Washington, May 30. P)
Congress learned today that a
substantial part of the navy's
share of emergency defense
funds will go to protect 24 of
the nation'! harbors from tub
marine attacks and for the pur
chase of a new type of aircraft
cannon.
The Information came with
publication of testimony of
high-ranking officers during
committee hearings on the $1.
473.000,000 naval supply bill
preparatory to tending the
measure to a joint senate-house
conference committee.
Rear-Admiral W. R. Furlong,
chief of the buerau of ordnance,
said the navy planned to spend
a total of $27,500,000 for anti
submarine nets at 24 harbors
and fleet anchorages. An addi
tional $8,000,000 was asked for
the acquisition of 20 special
type boats to serve as net tend
ers. The harbors were not
identified.
Buy French Gun Patent.
Furlong testified that the
army and navy were buying for
$400,000 the patent rights to
France't new Hispano-Suiza-Burket
20-millimeter aircraft
gun and that it was planned to
put 2,000 of them in new war
planes. The European war has shown,
he said, that ordinary machine
guns were of little use against
armored planes.
Furlong said the navy had
obtained considerable success in
developing armor planes, large
ly using armor supplied by
manufacturers of saws and
safes.
Rear Admiral S. M. Robinson,
coordinator of shipbuilding, told
the committee the navy's pro
gram called also for equipping
the entire fleet with devices
for protection against magnetic
mines and for the development
of mine sweeping gear.

"Rebecca" Pleases
Craterian Fans At
Wednesday Showing
For quite some time much
has been heard about "Rebec
ca," the motion picture adapta
tion of the du Maurier best
seller of the same name. Yes
terday, it opened a four day
showing at the Craterian the
atre and Judging from audience
response, is going to do in Med
ford just what it s been doing
elsewhere p lay to capacity
crowds throughout its run.
'Rebecca" is a picture among
pictures. Of course, it had a
story that was definitely estab
lished as a favorite of two con
tinents. But stories have reached
the screen that were oft-times
unrecognizable and, sometimes,
even though recognized, sadly
mishandled. With "Rebecca"
such is not the case.
Primarily it is a mystery !
drama in the true sense of the
word. Alfred Hitchcock has ;
been recognized as the master 1
director of suspense and mys-1
tery so what could be better i
than to have him "megging"
the film play. Stroke of for
tune Number One.
The two lead characters In
the story and the secondary
lead are of prime Importance.
With the wrong players giving
the wrong portrayals, a great
story would be nothing but
hash. Laurence Olivier and
Joan Fontaine, with Judith
Anderson playing the house
keeper, make evident a com
plete anderstandlng of the spirit
of the novel. Olivier definitely
establishes himself after a note
worthy performance in "Wuth
erlng Heights" to start things
his way. And Joan Fontaine
here becomes a star no longer

"America's Cowboy Number
One" Gene Autry, comet to
the Roxy theatre for tomorrow
and Saturday in his newest
singing romance, "In Old Mont

Smiley Burnette in support.
Laurel and Hardy't "The Fly
ing Deuces," will play on the
same bill with Autry.
Just the lister of Olivia da Hiv
illand but a name worthy of
big things In the future. Judith
Anderson Just about steals the
show. As Mrs. Danvers, the
housekeeper turned sadist by
adoration of her first mistress,
she Is marvelous. And George
Sanders, Nigel Bruce, C. Aub
rey Smith and Reginald Denny
to name a few of the others,
also render outstanding per
formances. "Rebecca," with ltt splendid
direction, its tuperb character
izations. Its tmooth flow of ac
tion, Its ever-Increasing tempo
of suspense. Is the sort of pic
ture that It often wished for
but seldom realized. In other
words, it's great film fars.
