'WOMAN IN HIDING/
SUSPENSE THRILLER,
OPENS AT CAPITOL
Universal - International’s “Wo
man in Hiding,” co-starring Ida j
Lupino, Howard Duff and Stephen
McNally, which opens tonight at
the Capitol Theatre, gives promise j
of being classed as one of the out- j
standing suspense dramas in many j
I moons.
A study in the psychology of fear,
I the story depicts also a Machiavel
lian urge on the part of a man to .
j achieve success at the cost even of j
j human life, and from its opening ;
reel the film held the audience in ,
an icy grip of suspense.
Miss Lupino is at her best in the j
role of a woman fleeing from cer- 1
tain death at the hands of an un- j
! scrupulous, power-hungry husband j
j who holds her almost in a hyp- ]
notie clutch and tries again and
1 again to kill her.
Stephen McNally is the ruthless
husband who, after killing his
bride’s father to gain possession of j
: an important manufacturing estab- j
lishment, coldbloodedly plots against j
ihe life of his wife so that he may j
! retain the factory and escape ex- :
i posure. McNally handles the in- I
I credibly villainous role with con- j
I summate skill.
Howard Duff provides counterbal- j
1 ance for the villainy, in the role of
! a man who meets and falls in love
with Miss Lupino in time to aid in j
] preventing the consummation of '
J McNally’s final brutal attempt to 1
do away with her.
An excellent supporting cast is
headed by Peggy Dow. “Discovery
at the Year." John Litel and Taylor
Holmes, in "Woman in Hiding,"
■ which was directed by Michael Gor- j
j don for Producer Michel Kraike.

LEADERS SAY
WAR STATE NO
CATASTROPHY
_
(By the Associated Press)
As ('loom settled over some west- |
cm capitals at the prospect that the j
reversal in Korea might bring on a
third world war, a more optimistic
note was sounded in Washington
and London.
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin,
: speaking in the House of Commons,
I said Britain still hopes a settlement
i on “political lines" will end the
' threat of another world war.
“If the Chinese want to avoid
! general war and if they show the
slightest signs of willingness to co
! operate in exploring a solution by
i peaceful means, I am satisfied a
j solution can be found," Bevin said.
In Washington an army spok.es
1 man cautioned against “over pes
j simism.” He said the Korean situa
| lion was “serious but not catastro
phic” and declared the United
States has faced worse and has
come out of it.
The Army spokesman reported
that the two South Korean Divi
sions that crumbled in the Red
onslaught in the Tokchon sector
have been pulled back and are re
grouping. "Their losses were not
as heavy as initially reported,” the
, spokesman said.
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
will speak to the nation by radio
1 tonight on the Korean crisis.

Black Market Drama
Opens Tomorrow at
Gross 20th Century
A two-fisted, rugged melodrama
in the best Warner Bros, style, "I
Became a Criminal,” the story of
the black market in the London
underworld, opens tomorrow at the
Gross 20th Century Theatre.
With Trevor Howard of ‘Brief
Encounter" fame, luscious Solly
Gray, and Griffith Jones in the
part of a clever mob leader, the film
tells of a hardy ex-RAF flier
played by Howard, who turns to
crime for the thrill, is promptly
framed and sent to prison.
Escaped from the penitentiary,
the greater part of the picture i.
about Howard’s hunt for the man
who framed him while the police
and Scotland Yard are at the same
time after him. The chase ends in
a fight sequence over the roofs of
sleeping London, leaving nothing
in the way of thrills to be desired.
Warner Bros., producers of some
of the greatest action stories the
screen has ever seen, made this
picture in England to give it more
realism, which, according to ad
vance reports, it packs into 78 cel
luloid minutes.
Cavalcanti, who directed this
thriller, makes much of mood and
atmosphere in his handling of the
fast moving tale.

Make World
Plane Trip
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29—(M—As
a private citizen seeking informa
tion on economic and political de
velopments, Harold E. Stassen, Re
publican leader and presidential
aspirant, will leave Saturday on a
round-the-world journey. He is due
to leave Minneapolis by Northwest
Airlines and arrive In Anchorage at
5:45 a.m„ Sunday.
Developments in Asia and Africa
particularly will be noted, an aide
to Stassen said, 'fhe University of
Pennsylvania President has not in
cluded Russia in his five-week trip
by air.
Tokyo is his first scheduled stop
over, Robert Matteson, research
assistant on Stassen’s staff, said. He
will return from London January 9.
In 1947 Stassen journeyed through
Europe, conferring with heads of
15 nations, including Premier Stalin
of Russia. He has arranged meet
ings with many leaders on this trip. ]
Stassen’s recent request for an
other audience with the Soviet
leader to discuss world conditions
has gone without a formal reply.
Matteson said plans for the com
ing trip would be altered should
Stalin indicate willingness to meet
with Stassen.
Matteson will accompany Stassen
on the entire trip. Herbert Lewis,
editor of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press
and longtime friend of Stassen from
the time Stassen was Governor of
Minnesota, will travel as far as j
Karachi, Pakistan.

High Court Rejects
Claims War Risk Ins.
On Alaska Shipping
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29 — W) —
The Supreme Court has ruled in
an Alaska shipping case that gov
ernment war risk policies apply to
ships only when damage results
from ‘‘war-like operations."
The high court rejected 6 to 3
claims by Libby, McNeill and Libby
of Seattle that it was entitled to
collect on the David W. Branch,
which grounded on Hamner Island
Jan. 13, 1942 while enroute from
Seattle to Alaska war bases.
It was one of two 6 to 3 court
rulings on the same subject. The
other involved a Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey tanker.
Justice Black wrote the majority
opinions in both cases.
The Libby, McNeill and Libby
mishap was blamed on an incom
petent helmsman who swung right
when ordered to swing left.
The firm spent $345,515 in re
pairs. It received $343,740 from in
surance companies which had is
ued regular policies of marine in
suruance. The payment was made,
under an agreement that the firm ;
would try to collect from the gov- j
ernment on its war risk insurance, I
and return to insurance companies
any amount collected.
Libby, McNeill and Libby sued the
United States in the US. Court of
Claims here. But that tribunal de
cided the damage did not result
rrom a war-like operation as pro
vided in the war risk insurance.
The firm then appealed in vain to
the Supreme Court.
