HITLER WARBIRDSTOREST FIRES DOT CONTINUE ACTIVE NORTHWEST FROM OVER WIDE REGION Joan Crawford and Fredrie March Now In Craterian Show (Continued from Pag One.) broadcasting stations at Bremen and Hamburg went silent early today, which usually indicates British air raiders are nearby. Planes identified as belonging to Britain s fallen ally, France, raided Gibraltar again Sunday and the Italian air force was active in Africa and over Malta. French Join Axis In Air The French announced that two of their air squadrons had been rearmed and joined the axis attack on Gibraltar. The British also were busy with air and land blows against Sicily and Italian African pos sessions. Announcing over the week end demobilization of French naval forces at Alexandria. Egypt, the British said they had sunk two Italian supply ships, forced two large transports aground, left other ships in dif ficulties, and sank either an Italian destroyer or submarine. A British submarine off Nor way was reported to have tor pedoed five German supply ships. The Germans reported two British destroyers were bombed so heavily in the North sea that they were total losses and that a British cruiser was damaged. Other successes claimed were the sinking of a submarine and two small naval vessels. The British said that aerial mine-laying in the Baltic and elsewhere had robbed German ships of any safe passages. New German Mot A new German mystery move in Spain possibly to attack Britain's great Mediterranean stronghold of Gibraltar from the rear was reported .by the British radio in a broadcast. The broadcast, picked up by the Columbia broadcasting sys tem, said 60,000 German sold iers in plain clothes were already in Spain and that oth ers have arrived at the Spanish frontier. Hitler's high command an nounced that 21.500 tons of British shipping had bem sunk off Spain by German U-boats. Not In War London, Eng. U.R To the list of seemingly queer "re served" occupations male bal let dancers and window-cleaners have already been listed now is added two more rat catchers and film makeup ar tists. Rat-catchers is a profes sion handed down from father to son and rat-catchers are necessary, particularly in the city of London. Portland, Ore., July 8 The Pacific northwest, again in the throes of its annual summer fight to preserve its timber wealth, reported the forest fire situation todav as "no better." I From the Oregon Siskiyous to ! the Straits of Juan de Fuca smoke plumed into brassy skies from hundreds of big and small fires, most of them in cut-over land or second-growth timber, but a few in virgin stands of fir, cedar, spruce and pine. Forest Supervisor T. S. Good year ordered all logging and allied industries in western Washington forests closed today in the face of increasing haz ards. Mount Hood. Ore., national forest men hinted today they might close that attractive tour ist area to all traffic if fire dan ger continued. Cupid Secure Philadelphia (U.R) Of every 1.000 mirriage licenses taken out in Philadelphia, P94 are used, according to statistics compiled by the marriage li cense bureau. At the most, only 75 of the 12,805 licenses issued during a 12-month period were not used within the 60-day requirement. EALSE FIRE ALARM LITTLE GIRL'S JOB At 9:57 this morning the fire department's telephone clanged. "Please come quick," said a childish voice, "the kitchen of the house at 932 Reddy avenue is all on fire. Please hurry." The fire laddies hurried. The woman at 932 Reddy avenue was almost bowled over, so surprised was she when the firemen barged through the back door. No wonder she was surprised; there was no fire. Firemen then traced the tele phone call. Result: an 11-year-old girl was taken before City Judge Allen' D. Curry for turn ing in a false alarm. Judge Curry imposed a fine of $25, suspended it during good be havior in the next 10 years. Rachel Crothers' stage-hit, "Susan and God." emerges as an even greater hit in its screen form. The new picture, co-starring Joan Crawford and Fredrie March, opened yesterday at the Craterian Theatre. As the rattlebrained and telf centered Susan who adopts a new social movement as a fad and tries to convert all her friends to it, only to see them antagonized and her own life develop into a seemingly hope less tangle, Joan Crawford at tains a dramatic assurance which her most devoted fans could have scarcely envisioned. Her performance gives her a new niche in filmdom. And as the inebriate husband. Barrie. who wins the final victory with himself and Susan, Fredrie March makes a brilliant return to the screen which he tempor arily deserted to star in the stage hit, "The American Way." Ruth Hussey as Charlotte, friend of the family in love with Barrie, is warm and understand ing. Rita Hayworth is appeallng ly glamorous as the young ac tress, Leonora, in love with ac tor John Carroll but married to businessman Nigel Bruce, Rita Quiglcy as Blossom, neglected daughter of Susan and Barrie; Rose Hobart as Irene, hostess at tie house party where the ac tion gets under way: Bruce Ca bot as sportsman Mike O'Hara, in love with Irene; and Con stance Collier as Lady Wigstaff, leader of the movement, all give "lift" to the production.
