Lovely Ann Miller’s whirlwind tap dancing sets a breath-taking pace in Columbia’s new khaki-go- wacky soldier show, “Hey, Rookie’’, showing at the Allen Theatre Thursday and Friday. In addition to hex shining talents, the picture boasts the rhythmic music of Hal Mclntm and his orchestra, the comedy antics of The Vagabonds and Joe Besser, and the “out of this world ’ harmony of Hi, Lo, Jack and the Dame. Larry Parks plays the romantic lead opposite Miss Miller. Six-Wheeled Scout Car Made By Ford Thef(haki-&o-IA/ackte6t Mosieaf of kht a/f! // % % , B»rtw latkSW-Y' .wt •♦*'*“*****'* Owb***" «!*• sk.nw*’ •k joE BtSStR --xi »««*’' nta"®"' hod fo» Dearborn, Mich.—^An armored greyhound long kept secret by the army has been brought Into the open with an announcement by the Ford Motor Company that it has been In mass production for many months. Combining the speed and man- euverabiUty of an automobile with the punch and armored protection of a light tank, the vehicle Is de signed for scouting and long-range cruising, and bears the "title’’ of M-8. It Is a six-wheeled, seven-ton scout car that can travel at high speed over almost any type of terrain and is capable of ascend ing a 40 per cent grade. Discarding the conventional type of armored car construction in which an armor-plated body Is built on a truck chassis, Ford and army ordnance engineers have fabricated an armored hull which in itself serves as a frame. It resembles a turtle back in construction, and the hull-chassis makes it possible for the M-8 to I present a much lower silhouette to enemy eyes. Fitted with special combat tires, the machine can be operated almost normally even though the tires should be punctured by bul lets. The motor is cradled between two sets of power-driven axles, which 'make the rear end of the car a four-wheel drive. When the going gets difficult, the front wheels are engaged and the ma chine becomes a six-wheel drive. The rear sets of wheels work on a bogey-type suspension, giving the car extreme flexibility. Except for the turret, the M-8 stands less • than five feet above the ground and In wheel tread it is more than a foot and a half wider than the average automo- mobile. Even small streams pre sent no obstacle to this vehicle. Designed to out-run everything that it cannot out-shoot, this new weapon is equipped with a 37-mm. anti-tank gun and a .30 calibre machine gun, which move to gether as a single unit In the manually-operated rotating tur ret. The four-man crew is protected by armor plate, with the driver and his assistant having protected vision through the use of steel shutters at four vision slots and by Indirect vision devices called protectoBcopes. 0« nos* \{A A COLUMBIA PICTURE SHOWING- NOW ^^hnta BTOllTliZ ^HALL n»B£Y All Baba WtryTHMVB ^ ANDY DEVINE rORTUNIO BONANOVA FRANK PUGLIA RAMSAY AMES MORONI OLSEN KURT KAICH LAST-MINUTE .WAR NEWS DAILY Demonstration Club In Monthly Meeting The Mulberry-Falrplalns Home Demonstration club held>it’s regu lar monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. W.

PROFPIT -V BUY MORE WAR BONDS BEDS BEST JAPS IN DIPLOMATIC MOUEMENT The Soviet Union in what may be its biggest diplomatic victory of the war has forced Japan to sur render coal and oil concessions on Sakhalin island, north of Japan, which still had 26 years to run, it was announced Friday. In an ergeement signed in Mos cow Friday, the Russians won an Immediate return of the rights of these resources, granted to Japan in 1925 for a 45-year term. The Russians on their part have agreed to furnish Japan 50,000 tons of oil a year for five years beginning after the war. The up per half of Sakhalin island, which lies off Siberia, Is Soviet terri tory," the southern half Japanese. The new protocol is considered by diplomatic circles in Moscow to be a great contribution to the war which the United States and Britain are waging against Japan. The Japanese rely on northern Sakhalin for oil and coal vital to their Pacific war, and with this shut down, Tokyo Is regarded as suffering a staggering blow.
