Sc I started the late watch with a few games of acey-duecey which I had learned to play the night before. A couple cups of coffee took me to midnight in fine style. A bit of slow preliminary packing wound the clock to 1:15. On to the bridge to catch the first lightship, Officer of the deck was Lt. Frits Rau, my old friend of the mid watch on the way to Bermuda. Lt. Cmdr. Russell Blair, the ship's navigator, was in front of the radar finder. Peering into the night, off the starboard side of the bridge, was Capt. Alexander Junker, the skipper. Telephone talkers were receiving and relaying messages to the engine room, communications, lookouts and navig Exactly at 1:30. the five-fathom lightship Was sighted. It was an occasion for coffee.

Piqued by Pickets

a ——— ER —— it

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—There has been a little labor tableau going on across the street from where I live— going on for more than four months now. It is such a tableau as would scare me permanently off going into business for myself. A little French restaurant-catering establishment named Daniel's opened up last spring, and for four and -a—half -months- it has been ringed by pickets. None of the pickets ever worked there. I talked to some of them, and they haven't the faintest idea about the issue. They just get sent down daily by the waiters and waitresses and cooks locals, which are AFL members. They get a buck an hour and work from 11 to 3 p. m. - and from 5 to 10 p. m,, six days a week. There was a time when the pickets shouted insults. at people who aftempted to cross the line. One unsavory type once tried to block my path, physically, the while yelling some gibberish or other at the ladies wlio were with me. Something of this nature once caused the proprietor, Daniel Belmont, to have some pickets arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and anti-Semitic remarks, He is now facing a $60,000 law suit for false arrest.

Opened Business With Gl Loan

MR. BELMONT is a Frenchman. He joined the American Army five weeks after he arrived in this country. He served in intelligence at Camp Polk, La.; Camp Claiborne; La, and Camp Ritchie, Md. He spent a year in the Army, and opened his business with a GI loan. Seven of his employees are ex-GI's. As far as T can make out, the owner’s sin is his refusal to agree to a closed shop, since it would entail the dismissal of his present employees. They are naturally blacklisted for crossing the picket line. Daniel's pays higher salaries than’ union wages. He allows his help to eat anything on the menu—

Thing-of-Month

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—I am—ahem—the proud proprietor today of a dinosaur bone,

Next month I may get a preserved boll weevil, a gold nugget, a piece of a meteor from another world, a plastic eyeglass, a genuine man-made ruby or something else as fascinating as it is useful. I am a member in good standing of the Thing-of-the-Month Club. Each month for my $4 a year, I get a—er— thing. Maybe an atom, even, with directions for splitting. You know about the two dozen book clubs, now bending the backs of postmen monthly in the interests of literature. They started the mail-order lodge member joinup years ago. The idea spread until now,

' if you don’t care how you look or what you eat, you

can live by subscription. There's a cheese-of-the-month club, numerous fruit-of-the-month clubs, and four or five candy-of-the-month dittos. In Los Angeles is the gadget-of-the-month lub, which distributes to members such things as patent can-openers and atomic-age flytraps. The necktie-of-the-month club is doing an enormous business. The dress-of-the-month club, which will distribute a monthly frock sight-unseen to each feminine member, now is being organized.

Consults Science Service Editor

SO I WAS talking about these developments with my old friend and colleague, Dr. Frank Thone of Science Service, the non-profit news syndicate, which digs up ‘and distributes news about science. He sald that so y editors of newspapers asked for samples of the things the syndicate wrote about that Watson Davis, the editor in chief, started the things of science club. Each month the subscribers get a package of things.

Mixed Drama

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 8.—Behind the Screen: The psychological medodrama will be combined with the old-fashioned western hoss opera in Director Fritz Lang's mext “Winchester 73.” So fh the future, I suppose, audiences can expect to, hear the famous scene enacted somewhat along this line: “When you call me that, partner, smile.” “What did I eall you?” “You called me a manic-depressive, that's what you called me.” “Manic-depressive? Then I apologize— you schizophrenicl” A new gadget called Phonovision will bring you motion pictures transmitted over telephone wires within

two years. It will sell for $160 and a charge of $1 will

be on the monthly phone bill for each program used in the home. It will be an eye-strain, though, with the pictures coming over on a four-by-five-inch screen. It's hardly competition for Hollywood. And besides the eye-strain, I can see exactly what will happen, Instead of getting the wrong number, you'll get the wrong picture.

Happy Ending ONE ‘of Hollywood's greatdit love stories is about to have a happy ending. Wedding bells will ring soon for the second time for 70-year-old Emil Rameau, a character ‘actor. His bride will be’ his ex-wife, Resi,

who has lived in Germany for the last 13 years. She -

will arive In New York in" October, then come to Hollywood. Mr. Rameau was born in Germany of

THE ANCHOR DETAIL was ordered to stand by.

bell took up the warning signals and tolled as if it were pleading for every reserve who was thinking of! his train réservations. Foghorns, far off and nearby; monotonously bleated warnings. For one hour and 44 minutes there was pea- soup fog and loud griping. I did my share. But slowly the fog and the griping disappeared, The anchor came up and we were under power but not much, Enough ‘fog kept moving in to worry us and the men who were responsible for the ship. The skipper was going to miss his appointment. He had 1193 reasons besides the sleek, year-old USS Rochester. You don’t galivant in narrow channels with a 675-foot heavy cruiser when you can't see a foot beyond the bridge. A lunch everyone thought of having in Philadelphia was eaten on the ship. That helped the spirits a lot, Especially when after lunch the men went topside to find the fog was all but gone. When the ship finally tied up at pier 2, no one on the dock would have guessed that two hours previously those same eager men against the lifelines were fluffed off to the fog's ceiling. “Gangway mate, I gotta train to catch. Yeh, sure, I'll drop you a line—and hey, if you're ever in my home town look me up. If not maybe we'll be on; another cruise next year.” Sea legs, we're shifting gears again. |

Causes Big Drop in Business PICKETING BEGAN immediately, and has continued. Mr. Belmont estimates that the picketing. has cost him at least 40 per cent in business. He is barely breaking even now. The union is charging him with unfair labor practices, in a hearing to come up in three weeks before the state board. The owner of Daniel's has small recourse except complete capitulation, unless he can bring his side of the story before the U. 8. Supreme Court. This he will attempt to do, by virtue of the fact that his

out-of-state catering puts his case on an interstate By ART WRIGHT commerce footing.
