This week, the men who made Power Dive, Wrecking Crew, etc. will begin work on their 28th picture for Paramount, a bodily-harm thriller called Hot Cargo. If their formula holds, it will be shot in the usual time of twelve twelve-hour days, should earn some $378,000 for Paramount, $97,000 for Pine & Thomas. Hollywood's artists will pooh-pooh it.

In overall U.S. casualties it was indeed the bloodiest campaign of the Central and Western Pacific, but in proportion to the harm done the enemy, it was far from being the most costly. At Tarawa, where an estimated 5,000 Japs died or were captured, 1,000 Americans died and 2,000 were wounded-an overall casualty ratio of 5-to-3. On Saipan the ratio was only 7-to-4; Palau...
