Janies Stewart, former movie star, now leads squadron in bombing flights agqlnst Ger mans.

damp English cold of this Liberator base, where Jimmy Stewart commands a squadron, a lot of the time youd hardlyknow he was around. A tall, airman in flying cap, flying Jacket, olive drab trousers and arctics who walks -into the intelligence office, he pulls a chair up to the stove and reads a magazine for an hour without saying a word. No one pays any particular attention. But when he jumps into conversation the Stewart person, nlity begins to sparkle. -This is when yon realize he Is the Stewart of.

Philadelphia Sto-. ry, Mr. Smith Goes to Wash ington," and Yon Cant Taka It With Yon." He gestures with his flicking fingers. His eyes take on a mischievous gleam, his mouth a contagious smile. Out come dry humor and sizzling wisecracks which leave his pals in- stitches.

Stewart dislikes receiving attention because of his movie career. He wants his crews to get credit for their dangerous work and shuns the spotlight himself. A a squadron commander he-directs the operations of 15 bombers and the 150 men who take them into combat, led frequently by himself. The squadron commanders take turns going on raids, under air force regulations, Stewart would go on every raid If theyd let him. When missions are on, he and other squadron and groqp exec-Utives often work until 2 a.m., catch a couple hours rest, and get up at 4:30 a.m.

Kingdom' VFW Advises Extra Session Petition Sent To Governor Maw- The second non-political in Utah to participate In the soldier vote controversy entered the scene- today when the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Department of Utah, urged Gov. Herbert B. Maw to call a special session of the Legislature to consider the problem.

Signed by Department Commander C. Ed Lewis, the letter did not recommend any specific "time for calling the session, but did set forth the rights of to vote and the changes necessary to Utah's election laws to permit such voting. The letter stated that the administration has gone on record as. favoring a soldier vote but on a federal ballot only. As far as Utah citizens are concerned, they cannot, as present laws stand, vote for state or local officers." The organization pointed out that there is no means under present" laws to permit registration out-of-state voters and that the time allowed between the primary, run-off and final 1 elections is too Short to permit, mailing and return of ballots.

Special changes recommended by the included amending present absentee-vote provisions, so that all U. S. service men and women may cast ballots at least one of the balloting -could be omitted, namely, the run-off primary, which is superfluous in any case and would save the state $25,000 for each such election eliminated. The veterans then concluded, that an even more streamlined method might be needed and suggested that Utah study action taken by other states.

From here on in Lana Turners good looking husband is a Columbia leading man. Perhaps I shouldnt describe Steve merely as Lana's husband. Thetndio thinks highly of his chances, orders have been issued to the publicity department that his build up" is to be strictly on his merits and not as the bridegroom of a glamor girl. Crane won't start with small roles, either.

His first on the New Deal will be opposite one of the top Columbia stars. Those who have read the script on Outward Room say it has the same haunting love story appeal that made "Seventh Heaven one of the screen classics.
