...SPAB has yet to define allocation in the sense of ranking allocatees. Army and Navy, who use copper in a way most businessmen would consider lavish, still hogged the head of the queue last week. No plans for supplying a minimum civilian economy had been formulated. With incomplete statistics on inventories the true dimensions and use of the existing copper supply were still unknown.

M.G.M. has again grabbed a hold of Hollywood's sure-fire formula for money-making movies. It has tossed together a bunch of old song favorites, a couple of snappy new tunes, some lavish dance spectacles, a hoofer who can hoof, and a singer who can sing.

For them there would be no more cocktails in glittering bars with wide-eyed café socialites, no lavish dinners for affable U.S. businessmen. They were Nazi and Fascist propaganda agents, consular officers and their families, bound homeward to the grim realities of the New Order...
