Tell you more about Susan Peters Ergo! A YEAR ago it was Lana Turner, now a top "star, who was the most talked of teminine newcomer ai me jvierro ijroiawyn Mayer studios and right now it is a youngster named Susan Peters.

Miss Peters looks as if she had stepped right out of high school, which isn't far from the truth. She has flashing blue eyes, a captivating smile and a natural flair for acting that has carried her to five successive important Metro rcles in a half year span. Miss Peters, it is obvious from the above statement, has been busier than a Chautauaua lecturer these past months. It wasn't that way at first. Like most ambitious Hollywood ocnirnnio Miss Pptprs had a strueele.

Unlike most, she had made up her mind very firmly that if she didn't make the grade if she couldn't see daylight ahead wiinin tnree years sue wuum definitely walk out of the picture business. She had always wanted ha jr.Mnr Knt cVip hail a mother and vounser brother to support and it was almost impossible to think of putting in the necessary years of medical study and apprenticeship. Susan's real name is Suzanne Carnahan. That was" diagnosed as not quite right for marquee builbs and the screen meophyte was told to pick a new one out of a list of fifty. She chose Susan Peters, and, whether or not there is anything in the theory of the right name bringing the bearer good fortune, it has proved to a very lucky appellation.

Susan, during her years in high school, worked after hours in a Los Angeles department store, earning money to help the family. A couple of people thought her good looks and proved ability in school plays ought to mean a chance in films. She looked at it all very objectively, and had no head to be turned by flattery. Even when a Hollywood scout asked her on day at school to come over to discuss a test, she kept a very balanced outlook about it. Lots of girls, some of her own friends, had had auditions and tests, and that still left very heavy odds to be overcome, in climbing However, Susan's determination, and personality won the at tention of important advocates in court, uuy iviouee, ior CA.i the veteran actor, saw her early test and told all has friends she was of the best finds in years.

Despite all this. Miss Peters found things going slowly. She was used in publicity shots apd considered for a couple of pictures without being actually picked A year dragged along, and more. The young actress repeated her statement to her family that nothing whatever would induce her to string along on one of those indefinite option contracts unless i. i i auwma itonrc the pain aneaa was ciear wiuuu uuw j.

"TISH" was her first big break. Director S. Sylvan Simon gets credit for picking her for this. Director Mervyn LeRoy saw rushes of the film and excitedly asked permission to put her in the cast of "Random Harvest," in the second feminine lead. After she had scored a big hit there, "Dr.

Gillespie's New Assistant, 'Assignment in Brittany" and "Gentle Annie" followed in rapid order. In the last two she is playing feminine leads opposite Pierre Aumont and Robert Taylor. Miss Peters has a nrospective marriage in the background, but it won't materialize until the end. The lucky man is reported to be Richard Quine, who just finished a new role in Stand By For Action" and is going into the Coast Guard in March. This rnay be your last chance, ever "One Foot in Heaven" at the Rio Last night of second run! Allison Hill Group Protests Bus Route Plan A protest was made against the proposal to permanently route inbound Paxtang, Hummelstown and Nineteenth street buses over the Mulberry street bridge, by John E.

Peters, president of the Allison Hill Civic Association, in a letter to Chairman John Siggins 1 of the Public Utility Commission. The change would leave only the Second street Reservoir bus to take care of factory and laundry workers, the association president wrote. A meeting of the Allison Hill Civic Association will be held at the Mt. Pleasant firehouse Friday at 8.30 p. m.

Accountants Hear Talk on Job Evalution "Job evaluation when dealt on a well studied plan is a means of paying every employe a fair value for services rendered," declared Donald M. Magor, controller of York Ice Machinery Corporation, at the monthly meeting of the National Association of Cost Accountants last night in the Penn Harris Hotel. Mr. Magor, whose topic was "Job Evaluation," explained the process for assigning points to various job classifications and the incentive values that resulted to employes. H.

The Fuehrer must be haunted these days and nights by pic tures of Napoleon on the way back.

The Russian winter offensive, launched from the northwest and southwest of Stalingrad November 19, and now near the end of its third month, already has achieved victories which even its authors can hardly have expected and remains pregnant with threats of disaster for the invader. a. It has liberated nearly a quar ter million square miles and is rapidly restoring to the Soviet! Union some of the most import' ant sources of its wealth. From1 Stalingrad to Kharkov and from Mozdok, the Caucasus, to the Don Estuary, it has thrown the enemy back some 400 miles. But until the Russians come up against the new German de fense system, at the Dnieper or wherever it is being established, it would be unwise to predict the early expulsion of Hitler's forces from all Russian territory.

Despite the speed of the Russian advance, there are emphatic signs that strategically, the German High Command is conducting a huge retreat according to plan, although at some places tactical defeats may hustle the schedule more than is comfortable. Since the Voronezh break through last month the Russians have not announced any large bags of prisoners. Even Moscow's announcement of the capture of a Nazi order of the day demanding that Kharkov be held at all costs does not mean that aban donment of the city was not part of the lareer strategical rjlan. al though for tactical purposes it might have been necessary to or der the garrison to fight to the finish.
