Above, Myrna Loy, co-star of "Test Pilot." Below, vegetable peddler George Sakalis tells of police intimidation in the trial of Capt. Earle Kynette … In Rome, throngs of Italians cheer a smiling Adolf Hitler, yelling "Viva!" and "Heil!" … The National Confectioners’ Assn. brings a lawsuit against 20th Century Fox over a scene in Shirley Temple’s "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" that implies candy bars are unhealthy. On the jump, Domino cigarettes are mild on your throat and your pocketbook.

Quote of the Day:

"Uncle Henry bought me a candy bar."

"A candy bar! Take the child to the kitchen and give her something decent to eat!"

–"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
