“Since You Went Away,” re
turned to the Capitol Theatre last
night and made'a pronounced im
pression as it did when first shown
under the David O. Selznick ban
ner. This feature is on again to
night and tomorrow.
The story is simple, although
there are subplots aplenty. Tim
Hilton, advertising man, has vol
unteered. won a commission, and
gone off to war. His wife, played
by Claudette -Colbert, with two
daughters, played by Jennifer
Jones and Shirley Temple, is left
to maintain and manage the home,
and not quite enough money to do
it. In time, the husband is reported
fficialiy, “missing in action.”
The presumptions, of course, are
lire. One Lt. Anthony Willett,
U.S.N.R., Is ably represented by
Toseph Cotton, pal of her husband
ind one time rival, appears upon
he scene and occupies it, with
vclibred complications, temptations
renting the main suspense.

Blair House
Lunch Brings
Iran Oil Plan
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 — W) —
A new plan to end the Iranian
British oil dispute was reportedly
presented to Premier Mossadegh of
Iran as he lunched yesterday with
President Truman.
Secretary of State Achcson and
Secretary of Defense Lovett were
among top American officials who
joined in the one hour and 45
minutes of luncheon table diplo
macy at Blair House.
Mossadegh arrived here yester
day from Philadelphia. He came
to this country to present his case
against British ownership of Iran's
oil resources at the United Nations
-Security Council____
Officials were keeping quiet about
details of the proposal reportedly
served up to Mossadegh with lunch,
but one informed source said the
broad outlines of one suggestion
were:
1. Iran would own and operate
her oil facilities, with the help of
western technicians supervised by a
manager from outside Iran but not
of the same nationality as the
technicians.
2. Iran would sell her oil at a
"discount” to Britain, and allow
Britain to market it.

Important Love
Story Tonight
At 20th Century
The greatest advance anticipation
of a motion picture in many years
will be rewarded tonight with the
arrival at the 20th Century Theatre
of "David and Bathsheda,” Twen
tieth Century-Fox's spectacular
picturization of one of the immortal
love stories of history, photographed
in color by Technicolor with a cast
of thousands headed by co-stars
Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward.
"David and Bathsheba” relates
on the screen for the first time the
legendary drama of the romance of
the King of the Israels and the
sircnous wife of his able warrior.
Uriah the Hittite. Beginning with
their historic meeting when David
ices Bathsheba bathing herself on
a roof-top adjoining his palace and
has her brought to him, "David and
Bathsheba" follows the Biblical ac
count of how David dispatches her
husband to death in battle so that
ho can marry her. For this sin they
o ffer the wrath cf God predicted
by the bearded prophet, Nathan.
Highlights in David’s life, includ
ing the classic killing of the Phil
istine giant Goliath by a pebble
from the boy David’s slingshot, are
re-created during the King's pil
grimage to the tabernacle where the
holy Ark of the Covenant is housed
to beg forgiveness from God and
relief for the populace from the
terrible famine inflicted on them.
The culmination of the film’s
interpretation of David’s life comes
with the utilization of the Twent.y
^hird Psalm, attributed to David
at another point in the Bible, mark
ing his redemeption in the eye3 of
God.

Tanks Again
In Assault
On Kumsong
U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea, Oct. 24—(/Pi
Fifteen Allied tanks again today
shot up battered Kumsong on the
central front as a great jet battle
raged across North Korea in the
fourth straight day of air fighting.
The Fifth Air Force said one Red
jet was shot down and another
probably destroyed. One US. F-8G
Sabre Jet was reported lest.
The tanks killed an estimated
85 Chinese and destroyed 24 bunkers
in a raid into a valley Just west of
Kumsong. They returned safely to
their lines through Red artillery
fire.
Infantrymen slowly mopped up
an estimated 120 Chinese fighting
a last-ditch defense on a ridge
line southeast of the city, a front
line dispatch said. It was the
only resistance remaining along
this sector.
The Fifth Air Force said between
70 and 150 Russian made MIGs
took part in the battle that raged
across the entire waist of the Ko
rean peninsula and finally ended
northwest of Wonsan on the east
ooast.
The new air fight followed
Tuesday’s scrap in which Allied
B-29 Superforts and jets de
stroyed or damaged 20 Communist
jets when they tried to stop a
bombing attack on the Reds’ new
airfield at Namsi.
This fourth straight day of air
fighting broke out when MIGs
jumped Sabre Jets covering B-29s
as they dumped 150 bombs weighing
1,000 pounds each on a 5,000-foot
single track bridge at Sunchon in
Northwest Korea.
In Tuesday’s air battle three of
nme Superforts attacking the
Namsi airfield were shot down. The
other six were damaged but got
back to Allied bases. B-29 gun
ners were credited with five of the
eight Red jets reported shot down
and one of two probables. U.N.
fighter pilots said they damaged 10
other enemy planes.

Dutch Gain,
Irish Lose
In Census
NEW YORK—Wl—'There are two
Dutchmen today for every one in
grandfuther's day, according to a
World Health Organization (WHO)
report. But the news for the Irish
is different.
The counties of the Irish Repub
lic, with seven percent fewer people
in 1943 than in 1900, were the only
European land that lost population
during the past two generations,
the United Nations agency says.
The present census list only three
million Irishmen where there were
4,CC0,0U0 before. This is despite the
fact that Europe as a whole gained
103.900.000 people, an Increase ol
well over a third. ,
The people of nearly every Euro
pean nation increased In amounts
varying about 30 percent to 91 per
cent. The exceptions, besides Ire
land, were France and Czechoslo
vakia, which remained almost un
changed. Holland, the fastest grow
ing, rose from 5,100,000 to 10,000,000.
The WHO estimated that there
are now about 2,377,400,000 people
on the face of the earth. One
third of the 825,700,000 increase live
in India, Pakistan, and Communist
China.
But Immigration gave the fastest
growing populations to the Western
Hemisphere, with Argentina lead
ing. A growth of 4,800,GOO to 16,
800.000 means that every Argen
tinian couple of the turn of the
century has an average of seven
grandchildren (or immigrants) tak
ing their places today. The only
other countries that more than
tripled were Cuba and Columbia.
I'.S. and Canada Up
The United States Increased 95
percent (from 76.000 009 to 141.
009.000) , lagging behind Canada's
152 percent (from 5,230,000 to 13,
200.000) .
The report pointed cut that
whether population grows or de
fines, the theorists have worries.
If it goes up, they fear the land may
become insufficient to support the
people. If it goes down, they fear
a smaller proportion of young will
have to support a larger proportion

Downed MIG-15 Is
Captured; Is Being
Studied for Secret
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 — OW —
Communist soldiers and airmen
fought for two days in a vain at
tempt to keep Allied Naval forces
from capturing a downed MIG-15
fighter, now providing the United
States with secrets of the Russian
made jets.
This was disclosed today in an
official account by the Defense De
partment and Far East Naval forces
of the capture of the MIG last July
by a daring naval sea-air task
force which went 100 miles into
enemy territory to get the plane
from shallow water near Hamchon
oa the west scan ol North Korea.
