The 31-year-old woman was fatally injured Aug, 27, when, a truck in which she was riding and one owned by Saladiner collided on the Austin Georgetown highway about seven miles north of Austin.

Britain has met the challenge of unrestricted German submarine warfare with renewed sir attacks on Helgoland bight, another reconnaisance flight over Austria and Bohemia and intensification of the search for U-boats around the British Isles, it was disclosed Friday. The presence of two U-boats off the coast was reported Friday and Thursday, one of which attacked the British Steamer Capt St. Andrew, 5.094 tons, off Aberdeenshire. Warships and coastal command planes sped to the locality. Another was sighted Thursday off the Eire coast by the Finnish Steamer Bri -ta.

2-621 tons. Coastal command planes attacked two submarines near British shores last Wednesday. Part of Underwater Fleet The U-boats were believed to comprise an underwater fleet participating in the campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare, announced by Germany last Saturday.

Enemy fighters attacked the British raiders and it was believed here that "one of the enemy was forced down." The Brit-is'i planes had no casualties in action. The air minister said, but as a result of bad weather on the return flight one plane did not reach its base Nazis Attack 2 Ships The flight over Austria and Bohemia Thursday night of British reconnaisance planes was the second of its kind. Jan.

12 British planes flew over Vienna and Prague and dropped leaflets, returning safely after a nine-hour flight. It was revealed that German planes Thursday attacked two Norwegian ships off the British east coast, sinking one and setting fire to the other. The latter was the Akabahra, 1,524 tons, of Oslo. The name of the sunken steamer was not learned. British naval vessels were searching for survivors, The fire on the Akabahra was extinguished and the ship proceeded on her course.

Like Rulers of the Sea, Darryl F. Zanuck's production of "Little Old New York" deals with the trials and tribulations encountered in the building of steamboats back in the days when such contraptions were considered the work of the devil. Richard Green plays the role of the visionary inventor of steamships, Robert Fulton, whom most people at that time considered to have bats in his belfry for even considering the possibility of a boat without sails. Alice Faye, we're thankful to see, is actually showing signs of learning how to emote before the cameras without depending on singing to put her across. She sings only one snatch of a song the entire film.

She plays the part of a bois terous bar maid with social ambi tions who aids Fulton raising money to finance the building of his boat. Fred MacMurray is a brawny ship builder who joins Fulton in the AICEEY project after a falling out with his bullying boss. The ex-boss tries hard to make things difficult for the two in their I Wilsons Certified-Half or Whole Ir'Jt AT LAJT!

Alma Kruger Joe Pettibone Billy Gilbert Hildy Johnson is a girl, but "The Front Page," under the alias "His Girl Friday" over at the State this week-end, is still the brawling, hard-boiled Hecht-MacArthur play of newspapers.

Rosalind Russell, pert brunet and comedian of the M-G-M lot, plays the part of the reporter Hildy (Hil-degarde) which, was first portrayed on the screen by Pat O'Brien. The substitution of a woman in the role makes just as roistering, good show of the Hecht-MacArthur opus as the original; certainly enhances its ar.s-.irVy: It still talks and sounds like the old "Front Page." Miss Russell's lively interpretation is good and the repartee between her and Cary Grant fun.

Editor Walter Burns is the same soulless city editor, only this time he wants to keep Hildy Johnson, his best reporter, for the paper and for himself. Action is built around the graft in the county politics, with a poor, half-crazed, bewildered fellow by the name of Earl Williams as the sacrifice the administration is putting up on the ballot boxes. While Hildy's insurance selling fiance waits outside in a taxi, Hildy is drawn back into the frenzy of news chasing when Williams escapes and comes into the press room.

"His Girl Friday is boisterous and swift-paced. Cary Grant plays the part of Editor Burns, not as Adolphe Menjou did it so efficiently cast as the insurance salesman who would take Hildy away to a rose-entwined cottage in Albany. (Incidentally, Bellamy's presence accounts for one of the best cracks in the show.
