That is the official epitaph. The words may seem too cold, cautious and colorless to describe an action that adds new glory to the British sea service, that links Tthe modern liner with the immortal Reâ€" venge and that assures her a place for all time in the glorious history of His Majesty‘s Navy. They represent, howâ€" ever, the judzment of men accustomed by tradition to expect gallantry and to note it almost as a matter of routine.

The wounded man, John Aho, a "White Finn," azed 40, of Hornepayne, is said to have defended his country‘s stand against the Communists, Franco Wilhelm Seikkinen, aged 41, also of Hornepayne, said to be a "Red," taking exception to Aho‘s remarks. It is claimâ€" ed the argument waxed hot, with Seikkenen claiming the Communists were justified in attacking Finland. Seikkenen, it is claimed, eventually left the beverage room in the hotel fnd laid in wait for Aho to emerge. Thereâ€" upon he attacked Aho with a longâ€" bladed pocket knife, slashing him about the face, neck and throat.

Powerful Story of Medical Life, at the Palace Theatre Deserving rank alongside the greatest of all medical stories, the new Paraâ€" mount picture, "Disputed Passage" to be at the Palace theatre on Friday, Friâ€" day midnight and on Saturday, Dec. 8th and 9th, dramatizes an exciting tale of the world of science. Based on the bestâ€"selling novel by Lloyd C. Douglas, author of such movie hits as "The Magnificient Obsession" and "The Green Light," the picture deals more with a doctor‘s attitude towards his practice than the practice itself. Akim Tamiroff has a role he can sink his powerful bicuspids into as a worldâ€" famous neurological surgeon w ho scorns all things outside the realm of pure science. This trenchant viewpoint reacts strongly upon the lives of John Howard, brilliant student at the medâ€" ical school headed by Tamiroff, and on Dorothy Lamour, an American â€" girl brought up in Ching. Howard meets Miss Lamour when he brought up in Ching. Howard meets Miss Lamour when he is called to operate on the nerves of her injured arm. He learns that she has come to the land of her parents for the first time, to raise money for the embattled Chinese people. Before many weeks have passed they realize they are in love. Tamiroff learns Oof their intended marriage and exclaims that his proâ€" tege‘s career will be ruined. At a priâ€" vate appointment he tells Miss Lamour that her husbandâ€"toâ€"be will never be great if he marries. A man cannot folâ€" low two lives and be a genuine scientist. marriage and exclaims that his proâ€" tege‘s career will be ruined. At a priâ€" vate appointment he tells Miss Lamour that her husbandâ€"toâ€"be will never be great if he marries. A man cannot folâ€" low two lives and be a genuine scientist. He must give himself to one or the other. Convinced that marriage will ruin the career of the man she loves, the unhappy girl departs for China. A brief telegram to Howard explains: ‘"We must follow our separate paths." The young doctor‘s work falls off miser ably. Tamiroff taunts him and in the ensuing quarrel lets it slip it was he who had persuaded Miss Lamour to leave. Howard abandons his position in a rage and spends grueling weeks searchâ€" ing for his fiancee the length and breadth of warâ€"torn China. Though he has decided to allow nothing to swerve him from his mission, his medical training stops him short when he sees a patientâ€"filled hospital lacking a doctor. ‘ritiecs Haul "Disputed Pasâ€" sage" as One of the Great Pictures of the Day. Enemy bOoI for hospitals wounded in day. There‘s to follow be draws to its Enemy bombers show little respect for hospitals and Howard is seriously wounded in an air raid the following day. There‘s many a dramatic thrill to follow before this vivid document draws to its stirring close. Dorothy Lamour scores a solid triâ€" umph in her first truly dramatic role. Shifting from Oriental to American, from diplomat to sweetheart, she disâ€" plays acting ability heretofore hidden. Tamiroff is Tamiroff which should be encugh! The Russian doesn‘t really act a partâ€"he actually lives it! The virile romantic performance of John Howard as the brilliant young doctor torn by conflict is nothing short of amazing. It places him right in the front rank of Hollywood‘s most popuâ€" lar leading men.

Not in the living memory of man had that clock stopped before, or had such an augury for good or ill ever been recorded in the annals of the old place, but the stoppage of that clock in that west of England town was announced on the English broadcast from Berlin at 6 o‘clock that same evening.
