Alice White Rejected
Offer From Night Club

Alice White was called upon
during the filming of First Ma.
tional's special, Show Girl" now
on the Earle Theater screen to
perform the duties of an occupa.
ton she once refused to try. Her
role called for the enacting of the
role of a night club entertainer
while, not two years ago. she re.
fused an offer of a position as
night club entertainer, when her
film career was still a doubtful
quantity.
No, I'm going to be a motion
picture star Alice said at that
time. Her singing and a gift for
the then current Charleston. and
Black Bottom had brought her
the offer.

O|CONNOR DENIES
Pay Scales Hurt American
Shipping

Washington, d. c. 0. l.. N. ST.
Wages paid American seamen on
American ships, which are high COM
pared with the pay of seamen on
foreign-owned ships, are not han
dicap to the development of this
country's merchant marine, accord
ing to- Chairman r. V. O'Connor, of
the shipping board.
Chairman O'Connor said that nu-
merous suggestions had been made
"that the so-caled handcaps to
American shipping growing out of
higher material and labor costs in
the United States as compared with
those of foreign nations will prevent
development of our merchant marine
as intended by congress"
"As to the cost of material going
into the construction of vessels,
think that American methods of pro-
duction will soon find a way to meet
the lower costs of foreign countries"
he continued. Congress already has
| taken steps to equalize existing diff
ferentials and it is safe to say that
American business can be relied upon
to do the rest. But in the matter of
higher pay for officers and crews, let
me be definite in stating that the best
bargain America has got is an Amer
lean sailor on deck of an American
ship"
Pointing out that only 5 per cent
| of the cost Of operating vessels goes
| for wages, O'Connor said that Ameri-
can ship owners, shippers and travel
ers have more adequate assurance of
safe, efficient and speedy transporta-
| ton when ships are manned by we'll
paid, fed and quartered crews.
Critics who have raised the issue
of wages and conditions provided for
American seamen," he declared, "de-
! clare that the spirit which urged the
old clipper ship sailor to greater eff
fort and resulted in his outsailing the
merchant fleets of the world is dead
say that it isn't, and that whether
IN the engine room or on the deck,
high-priced man makes for economy
in transportation and for safety of
lives and property"

The object of the conference he said was
to restore to Germany the power to

she would b. ready TO accept such iavi

that Britain has already made immense

have declared that We will rot take any
