WHAT CONSTITUTES an emergency to a liquor store” patron? That’s the question that popped into one of our agent’s mind when he spied a sigh on the door: “In an Emergency Call” etc. on Harry's Package store at 520 W. Washington st. Our dgent was thinking maybe the state of emergency of a drink-

The Wayne Township fire department writes a note, cautioning us not to let spring cleanup fever get the best of us. (Our spring Tever isn’t the cleanup urge kind) Ernest L.

He also suggested that -a bucket pump or burlap bag soaked in water is a handy thing to have around if youre going to burn trash,

& Script Clerk

HOLLYWOOD, March 29.—When, as and if you see “Gallant Journey,” the picture now being filmed by Columbia, you will probably find no credit given for the services of Frances McDowell, Unknown to fame is the script clerk: but she is an extremely vital gear in the machinery of movie making. Her job is to keep a record of each day’s work. This has to be accurate and comprehensive, Not only must she note every detail of costume, to prevent an actor's appearance in one scene with a bow tie and a four-in-hand in the next; but she must keep a sharp eye on setting and background, with special attention to the direction of the wind and where the shadows fall. Hers is a position of great responsibility, demanding the utmost vigilance. And her work never ends. Stars can rest when a picture is finished: but technicians like the script clerk go right to work on another one. Another and little-known factor in movie making is the film editor. He plays a large part in the preliminary work of turning the written word into sight and sound; and during the actual filming he is at tthe director’s elbow, helping in the playing of scenes.

i Studies the Rushes AFTERWARDS, he studies the * Tyshes, ” selecting the best ones and laboriously piecing them with others into the composition he has visualized. Only La small fraction of exposed film is actually used. I have a special sympathy for the film editor because I once helped produce an amateur movie. I recall one scene, particularly. It showed a man boarding a train. Viewing this scene, I thought it confsumed an unnecessary amount of time; so I snipped off a few inches of film. Still it was too long. Well, I

k A » t1 FOR ANOTHER slant op how America has been sold down the river in the air commerce market, the British have acquired an extension of the trans-At-glantic route from London to New York through the United States to New Orleans and to Mexico City. Not content with that, our bright boys have given the British another trade, an extension of the Lon-pdon-to-New York trans-Atlantic route to Cuba, Jasmaica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. Also, to complete -the sell-out; an extension of the EBritish route from London to New York, thence from ENew York to Miami, through the Caribbean to Trinidad, where it will make connection with the British Pair services to Brazil and Argentina. By being given the route from New York to New $Orleans and to Miami, thence out of the country to #South America, the British with their low wage scales can completely undercut the high wage scales of the Sdomestic American airlines, such as Eastern Air Lines, PCA, National and several others who have pioneered the development of these routes.

Pictare Becomes Worse 7

FROM MIAMI and New Ofleans ‘southward the picture beconles even worse. The British will be ompeting with Pan-American and the Pan-American-race Airlines. Needless to say, the lower wage scales of the British will cut the daylights out of Pan-Amer-ican and Pan-American-Grace. Likewise, the British bwill discourage Eastern, PCA, National, American and hicago and Southern Airlines, who now- are enteraining ambitions for extending their routes to South America. It’s tragic. And what did we get for all these priceless conessions called trades?

Had the conscience of the world been sufficiently wake, the tragedies of these people need not have Wccurred.

U. A. w. Swings’ 1 Its Attention fo

National Issues

By FRED W. PERKINS ATLANTIC CITY, N, J. March 20.—Its internal politicking nearly { |finished, the convention of the OC. I. O. United Automobile Workers swings back to regular business today, Some pronouncements on national and international issues will be made. “We expect to be highly critical : of further reliance on either the | Democratic or Republican parties to carry out progressive legislation,” said Victor Reuther, He is chaire man of ‘the resolutions committee and brother of Walter Reuther who won a spectacular fight for presi dency of the union, Asked if that meant a Trecome mendation for a third party, Victor Reuther said “it probably does.”

» ” ” THE PROBABILITY wag - strengthened by a section of his brother's presidential platform. It proposed “an aggressive program of political action to elect candidates pledged to this program within the le |existing party structure.” But it IS | added; S “We stand for independent po= je | litical action. Labor should join hands with farmers, professions, small business and other functional groups to build the base for a new progressive party.” : Such an outcome is not expected this vear, when C. I. O.-P. A, OC, activity will be concentrated on | | the congressional elections, But if major C. I. O. groups continue dis« , satisfled the third party drive might be launched in time for the presi dential campaign, » ” » THE RESOLUTION on internae tional affairs is expected to bring conflict between the convention's radical groups, including various shades of Communists and Socialists, and the more conservative delegates. Walter Reuther’s harmony pros * gram within the union is already under a cloud because of his differences with at least two of the three other top officers elected to serve with him. In addition to Secretary-Treasurs er George Addes, who was ree elected by acclamation and appears to have too much strength in the union for anybody to challenge him, this group includes two new vice president. - One of these is R, J. Thomas,

a 5 8 MR. THOMAS, U. A. W. president for seven years, was defeated by Mr. Reuther by only 124 votes in a total of 8765. Mr, Thomas, who was expected to take a job on the general staff of the C. I. O. under his friend, Philip | Murray, surprised most of the con« vention by deciding to run for one of the two vice presidencies. One explanation was that he wanted to promote unity. Anether, more generally credited, was that the groups who supported him for the presidency insisted that he stay in the top group of officers to proe tect them from any “purge” by Mr, Reuther, Thus he takes a pay cut from $9000 to $7000 a year, Mr. Thomas won his new job by a narrow 177 votes over Melvin Bishop, regional director for the Detroit east side, The locals that voted for Mr, Reuther the day before in general voted for Mr. Bishop, known as “a Reuther man.” by
