"A Guy Named Joe," Thrill
ing War Film; Kay Kayser
On Rialto Bill.
Spencer Tracy and Irene
Dunne, two great Bcreen favor
ites, are together for the first
time in "A Guy Named Joe,"
a delightful story of the "life
t.fter death" of fighting pilots,
and the combination seems cer
tain to make a new chapter In
tcreen history.
The film Is now showing at
the Craterian theatre for three
days, beginning today,
Tracy, as Major Pete San
didge, daredevil pilot and in
V tense suitor of Miss Dunne, has
a role that calls for unusual
acting; It's the usual Tracy
' "man's man" part with an add
ed touch of whimsy and deli
cate fantasy, and the skilled
Tracy takes it for all it's
worth. The characterization, as
he does it, ranks with his mem
orable work in his award-winning
"Captains Courageous" and
"Boys Town" pjrtrayals.
For her M-G-M debut Miss
Dunne is seen as one of those
new women of this era, a ferry
transport pilot. For the touch
ing romantic scenes in exotic
south seas backgrounds, her per
sonality and talent are most
ideally suited.
In the supporting cast are
such well known names as
Lionel Barrymore, "The Gen
eral" of that shadowy land to
which pilots go; Ward Bond,
A direct from his success as "John
h. Sullivan" in "Gentleman
Jim," and the film veteran,
James Gleason. j
Kay Ki.yser's sparkling, scin
tillating song 'and dance hit,
"Swing Fever" opens today on
the Rialto screen, with Ann
Corio in "The Sultans Daugh
ter" as the companion feature.

PROTEST, NEW ELK
HILLS OIL BILL
Washington, June 17 (U.R)
President Roosevelt today sign
ed legislation authorizing in
creased production of oil from
the Navy's Elk Hills. Calif.,
reserve, but took occasion to
criticize the measure as vesting
in congress powers which he
said were purely administrative.
The bill authorizes the sec
retary of navy to enter into a
contract with Standard Oil Co.
of California for production of
up to 65,000 barrels daily from
t e Elk Hills reserve, the Navy's
biggest. It was requested by the
joint chiefs of staff as a war
measure after an original Navy
Standard Oil contract was held
invalid.
Mr," Roosevelt, In a formal
statement1 "announcing his ap
proval of the measure, said he
signed it because Secretary of
Navy James V. Forrestal had
assured him "that here is an
immediate need for the enact
ment of legislation to deal with
the problems of drainage and
current production from the
naval petroleum reserves and
that this measure will material
ly serve to accomplish these
objectives, thereby aiding the
cause of this nation in the
prosecution of the war."
"By my action in approving
this legislation, however," he
added, "I do not wish to be
understood as expressing my
approval of all of its provisions.
On the contrary, I regret to say
that in several particulars this
act departs from principles of
government which have been
long established and which are,
in my opinion, fundamentally
sound."
He objected specifically to
two features in the bill. One,
he said, was the assumption that
the secretary of the navy, "even
with the approval of the presi
dent, may produce petroleum
from these reserves only in the
quantities from time to time
specified by the congress.

Crosses In Sky
By J. Hugh Pruett
Astronomer, General Extension
Division, University of Oregon
Crosses, various and sundry,
have at times been reported
gleaming In the skies. Constan
tine, the Roman emperor, an'
nounccd that the appearance of
a cross in the heavens in 313
A. D. caused him to change the
state religion. During a recent
night air raid over England, a
large group of people were sure
they beheld a similar cross over
their locality.
An Oregon man has stated that
one night he saw little crosses
centered on all the very bright
stars. Four times during the past
two years the present writer has
received accounts of luminous
crosses with the full moon at
their centers.
Concerning some of these re
ports no explanation will be at
tempted. Certain eye defects
cause flares to seem to extend
outward from bright stars. To
some persons the longest ray
may appear below the star; to
others, in some other direction.
While looking at the star, if
one's head is swung so as rest
alternately on one shoulder and
the other, the flare on the star
will appear to rotate In the same
amount as the observer's head.
Properly fitted glasses would
likely destroy this beautiful il
lusion. Perhaps the depicting of
a star as a five-pointed object
came about through faulty vision
of some ancient artist.
As to moon crosses, two ex
planations other than eye de
fects seem possible. When ice
crystals are abundant and at the
proper tilt in the higher air, a
cross sometimes seems, to radiate
from the sun. It seems reason
able that similar lunar crosses
may be seen when the moon is at
Its brightest. A moon-cross re
ported for 4 a. m. one cold frosty
night in January, 1942, might
well have this explanation.
Crosses centered on a full
moon may be seen ea sily if the
moon is viewed through a screen
of very fine mesh. Even street
lights give beautiful crosses
when seen from a dark roomj
through a screened window. This '
is a well known diffraction ef

But there are crosses In the
sky that are as enduring as the
ancient stars, those far-away
celestial Jewels of which they
are built. Travelers from the
north are always anxious to see
the famed Southern Cross. In
our own skies we have a much
larger and more perfectly shaped
cruciform figure, the Northern
Cross.
Richard Arlen Here

Stopping In Medford from
Thursday night to Saturday was
a party of Hollywood and army

ONE-THIRD OF STORES
VIOLATING 0PA RULES
A recent check of 80 food
stores made by the local OPA
to record compliance with OPA
regulations show that approxi
mately one-third of the stores
were in violation of some of the
regulations, according to board
officials. Fifty-one of the 80 food
stores are in complete compli
ance, it was reported.
Non-compliance ranges from
lack of proper marking of meat
to direct overcharges and break
ing of ceiling prices, OPA states'.
Merchants found guilty of over
charge will be asked to appear
before the price control panel,
and other stores found in non
compliance on other matters
will be instructed and advised.
