“For instance,” he continued, here is curently raging a conersy about grade labeling of ed goods. Canners say it is prkable, impractical and what more to the point, that it will out down production. “They say thc OPA theorists are bling with the food and cloth~ - necessities of every American unity, and I agree with them. more to the point, this whole ir of compulsory grade labeling was before the committee on interstate and foreign commerce a few years ago when we rewrote the and drug act. : If was turned down then by congress as unnec‘essary, unworkable and impractical.

K. Galbraith, deputy OPA administrator in charge of prices, is getting up an order to standardize all work clothes, “That means no more Sweet-Orr, Oshkosh Bi-Gosh or Levi Strauss overalls, You ask why? Just because the standardized type is inferior to their product and is priced less. They cannot make their overalls to their quality specifications and stay in business. That means their brand nanfe is ‘gone. The thing they spent years to build is valueless, And they have nothing left to advertise. The 'war-model’ has taken over, jot “And for what good end? Only to satisfy the long-standing social and - economic’ theories of those whose proposals would never stand the light of day. We cannot stand by, and let a scheme like that of Tugwell. tor Puerto Rico be put into effect -in this country without convincing proof that it’ is necessary to the war effort.” A committee investigation might put moras practical men in charge rather than the “extremists,” Mr. Halleck maintained.

Ballets, Other Ne New Ideas, Junked by Ringlings..

By MARGUERITE YOUNG . Times Special Writer: NEW YORK, April 14.—The ¢ircus is out sgain-—and it’s a CIRCUS. Once more it's the old-fashioned article: it's the shrilly sweet steam calliope and the blaring bandwagon, the amell and roar of wild animals, the stopped-breath of forward somersaults and spins of death on the high wires, the ludicrous. clown fire house. The multitude of earthly miracles that made the name, Greatest Show on Earth, stick--that is back again. Those faint violins and ecitified ballet skirts that stopped the elephants last year-—as the elerhants used to stop the show—are ‘gore. And city slickers in the grandstand as well as the circus folks are dancing a jig about it. 45 “We had to go out and build a bandwagon—-took .us quite ‘a time, because making them fancy golden scrolls and angels was practically & lost art,” says Bernie Head, the advance man, exultantly. “Good to be done with. that highohat stuff and be circusy again.”

. Ringling In Control

For the first time since 1932, Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey is staged personally by Robert Ringling, Miss Aubrey Ringling and Mrs, Charles Ringling. During the great sag years, John Ringling North had the helm, banking aid was called in, and also a host of non-circus designers, chorographers, and other noted artists who hed plenty of class of their kind but not the ¢ircus blood. = The Ringlings stood by, putting up their personal bankrolls, but the atmosphere changed. = Customers

Holidays and Ballet : of the Elephants with music by Stravinski couldn’t: tell whether it was the ¢ircus, grand . opera or -the Follies Bergere.

Three-Week-0ld Camel

With war, it looked as if the circus ‘might not come out at all, what

tation shortages. But the son and widow of Charles Ringling and Miss Aubrey rolled up their sleeves, won Washington authorities, and put-the show on the road in its oldtime spirit. © Cleo, the camel, has a three-week-old . infant, Toughy, three and a half feet long and just as tall. Frisk- |, iest animal on the lot ‘is Porky Points. She replaces Lydia Pigam. Some patriot bought L#lia from her master, the beloved clown Felix Adler, for a $1000 war bond. Adler hated to lose her, but he says Points is worth her ration value, 1000( , points. All the resplendent immensity of the show is back again=-and brand new costumes. . About 500 of the circus family—a few young performers and many workingmen, have gone to war. But the oldtime favorite stars are still heregrthe four LoyalRapenskys balanced at a gallop in|_ their equestrian pyramid, the amazing Chinese Naittog, As its direct contribution to the war, the circus has set aside an “honor section” of seats for every performance. Tickets for that sece tion are coupons given the custome ers who buy war bonds, Every seat was turned over to Uncle Sam on opening night Friday in Madison a gell-out, $3,000,000 being realized in the sale of bonds.

TWO HOOSIERS GET HEROES’ MEDALS

For heroism in Tunisia, the war department has awarded the silver star and the oak leaf cluster to two Hoosiers: who are members of ‘the armored force. Staff 8ergt. Clarence Dubree of Sullivan was given the silver star and Sergt. Claude E. Ramsay of DuPont received the oak leaf clus-

‘ter.

The award was made Dubree for walking two miles across country while under constant. artillery fire to guide troops separated from their units. Sergt. Ramsay was cited for staying at an exposed radio post to relay fire commands to his battery. The post was a flat rock, offering no protection. Shell explosions later disabled the radio, ;

‘More on the Subject of Cycles

TALK ABOUT movie cycles. Next one up is the hero cycle, Latest on the growing list of hero yarns being readied is “U. 8. 8, Sullivans,” story based on the recent accounts of the five Sullivan brothers who lost their lives last fall in the battle member a sixth Sullivan, their sister, “The Story of Dr. Wassell,” based on

“the WAVES last week. exploits of Dr, Corydon who led wounded Ameri~ of the New Guinea june to Australia, is now being told in ‘celluloid. Others in production are * Squadron 8," “The Incredible Earl of Suffolk” and “They Were Expendable.” Over the week-end Warner's revealed in Philadelphia that the com will make a picture on the life of BSergt. Albert A. Schmid, Philadelphia marine, who killed 200 Japs on ‘Guadalcanal, Jake Wilk, Warner Bros, story editor, said the company paid $30,000 for the story rights to Schmid’s life which in a magagine. Of this total, $10,000 will go to Roger P. Butterfield, who wrote the story, and the remainder to Schmid, The story tells how 8chmid, blinded by a Jap grenade burst, sought to release his fiancee, Ruth Hartley, from their engagement and of their subsequent marriage. The actor who will play Schmid's role hasn't been picked, nor has the film's title, John Garfield has the inside track in another story based on the lile of Barney Ross, the fight~ er and Rolomens: hero.

# » Question Dept. VALUES IN HOLLYWOOD seem eo little peculiar to some of us who are not particularly impressed with the divine rightness the industry assumes. The life story of ‘a hero like Schmid sells for $30,000. A masquerade like 8S. N. Behrman's “The Pirate” which was nine parts Lunt and Fontanne when it played at English's here and one part tripe sells to M-G-M for $300,000 . , , wishows Lunt and: Fontanne. ; Wonder why visiting movie queens have to doll up like the popular conception of movie queens . . , when visiting stars of the stage dress like other people. . .’. When will the Variety club announce its new charity, one of the finest yet? ,. . Why is it the British film companies, with limited picture-making facilities, put out the best war films? The hat one of the Addews sisters demonstrated. when the girls were in town was purchased downtown for $75 . . . she asked another sister for $50 next day «..and got it. Tor a dress. ‘Wonder if the Earl ‘Carroll “Vanities” stage show coming to the Circle Is as risque as the ad-

‘vance artwork hints?

y 8 » DIRECTOR Joe Santley called for an audition for a Cockney type role in his new Republic musical, “Thumbs Up.” Two dozen actors showed up, the majority English, -Scotch and Irish, He asked them to read the line: “'Ere you are — six shoots a tuppence! Step right up an’ it ole 'Itler right in the h'eye and’ ‘sar ‘im ‘oller.” An actor by the name of Earl Hodgins gat the role. He comes from Utah.
