According to "The Scuttlebutt," Naval Training School newspaper, Commander C. A. Macgowan USN, (Ret.), officer in charge of the school, predicts that the full quota of 1,000 men will be training here by September...
...dominating every other character in the story, Ladd neatly pulls a weak and often aimless story up by his own bootstraps into the realm of first-rate escapist filmfare. As Raven, the grim and psychopathic gunman who doesn't even bother to blink when he polishes off his daily quota of victims, he glides easily through a part that in other hands might well have degenerated into another "boy-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks" role...

The 35,000 officer candidates quota first set as a maximum, is now regarded as a minimum. V-1 officers will be in Lowell C-12 all day Monday, to explain this to men from '44, '45, and '46. A V-5 officer will be there as well, and at the same time the Army Air Force has a representative stationed in Lowell...
