cation of employment.
Negotiators said it was now
obvious workers were willing to
oettle differences with their en-
ployerS and return to their jobs.
The shipping owners, with one
exception, declared willingness to
accept the demands of the harbor
workers, and Colonel Del Gado,

bring governmental pressure on
Che shippers if the strike con-
Sinued.

Until Congress meets and enactS
this legislation, disbursing officers

many contractors have protested
this action, but replies to their
protest simply informed them

Jimmy Kelly, I am told, Is
planning to reopen the ancient
but glamorous Mandarin down
in Chinatown, hoping too, to
revive all it's colorful atmos-
phere. In an outburSt OF
candor I must confess I never
visited the Mandarin in its hey
day-all I know is that Tor
years it was a favorite lure tor
Broadwayites and more so 1or
tourists who expected dire and
evil things to occur in keeping
with mysterious and sinister
aspects of the Chinatown OF ZO
or more years ago. A thinnlsh
dark-eyed fellow used to sing
there-a fellow named Irving
Berlin and another young chap
sang and danced and apprecl-
atively reached for coins that
were tossed-George White:
Still another who chanted SAD
songs of heartbreaks resulting
from unrequited love-L. Wolfe
Gilbert-and a young comedian
was a Mister Burns, later OF
Burns and KiSSen. Here slant
eyed Celestial walters shuffled
quietly back and forth, their
queues swinging gently, and
here drifted Manhattan and
the provinces in search OF
thrills which were usually pro-
vided by the shrewd manage
ment-with no damage done.
Whether the resuscitated Man
DARN will revive all this I
don't know-but I would fer
vently hope so. The town
needs a few thrills these dog
dovc avey, cvothetjc thrills.
