Donat, influenced by his wife they say, still refuses to return to Hollywood. He was supposed to do a picture for Edward Small but the status of this is uncertain. However. Alexander Korda has the star under a three-year contract at a salary of $125,000 per film. Comedian Frank McHugh now has more respect for Dietrich's ability to play the musical saw. In the film, "Swing Your Lady” McHugh is supposed to master the art, and has been practicing assiduously. The other day. at Warners, the saw flipped from between his knees and severed an artery in the actor's left arm. A tourniquet was applied and McHugh. though suffering from loss of blood, was able to return to work later in the day. He'll not play the saw any more, though, until the property department has filed down the teeth. Another accident victim is Katherine De Mille. The actress showed up on “The Buccaneer" set with a black eye and a deep cut beneath the lower lid. She was diving in a pool for pieces of a broken flower pot and got one oi them in her face. Doctors say she had a narrow escape from losing an eye. Chatter. . . . Nice thing for Shirley Ross to do.

"For what?" he asked. "He can j not be impeached at all. and those , who advocate it know it. They do so not only to embarrass the president, but the supreme court of the I United States as well." Maverick, in a formal statement replied to demands of Sen. Burton IK. Wheeler, D„ Mont., that President Roosevelt ask Black's resignation. "For the president to make such a demand would be highly improper, for he has no right whatever , to demand the resignation of any judge.”’ Maverick said, in reference to charges that Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, that he. per- j i sonally, had been a bitter opponent of the klan since its organization. i “But the Kian, as a nissue, has i long been dead," he declared. "Mr. Justice Black is an honor-Ji

able, upright, able man. He has been sworn in; he is now a justice on the supreme court, and to carry on this controversy merely endangers bitterness, creates ill will, and i hurts the prestigate of the government of the United States."

GETTING A JOB WITH UNCLE SAM Uncle Sam has always had an army of workers on his payroll. This workers' army is an enormous one now. They do every sort of work imaginable. A big hatch of them are in the classified civil service; another batch are in the unclassified service; a large part are in Washington; another big division are in field work: they include not only the executive departments, but also employees of the legislative and judiciary departments, the Army, Navy. Marine Corps, the post offices and many thousands of establishments and services of all kinds at home and abroad. How does one go about getting a particular position How does one know whether it requires a Civil Service Examination, a Congressman's endorsement, a preliminary enlistment, or what? Our Service Bureau at Washington has prepared a comprehensive littlb book —"Employment in the United States Government" that covers the entire services of Uncle Sam and tells how one enters each . of them, what the requirements are and what the proper proceedure is to secure the correct information for making application for the job one wants.
