 That was Ma. A nickel here. a nickel there. No wonder the room ing house didn't seem to pay.

HOLLYWOOD
 GOSSIP
INTIMATE GLIMPSES AND INSIDE STUFF ON THE
 MOVIE COLONY
BY DAN THOMAS
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood.-Holly has gone blase about divorce. There was a time-and not so long ago-when the film capital was all shocked and bothered every time one of It's notables asked to have matri- monial bonds united. Everyone here wanted to know all the de- tails, who threw what at whom and why. But not now. "So-and- so's getting a divorce you say? Ho hum; how boring!"
 And outside the movie center, where Hollywood divorces used to rate headlines in all the news papers, they're now given only a few inches of space. Some get more; but a screen divorce isn't the answer to news editors pray CT any longer.
 It's the Movies!
 When Charlie Chaplin married and later divorced Lita Grey a few years ago, 1t caused terrific furor. But today only passing notice is taken of the fact that Ruth Chat terton goes so far as to entertain both Ralph Forbes and George Brent, her exhusband and her pres | ent one, at dinner. And Maurice Chevalier barely managed to make the papers with his divorce. Whats the reason for this com plete turnabcut? The movies. Just about all the allegations that ever were made in divorce complaints-and some that only scenario writers could think of have been paraded in the films during the last two years. This Is realism, the producers tell us.
 They've left little to the imagina. tion. Indiscretions have become ordinary, everyday events-in tht films. A real Hollywood divorce scandal today isn't apt to be hal so interesting as the one you say at the movies last night.
 And the fact that there is tall about Claudette Colbert planning divorce isn't at all important if tn
 lady next door is planning to do tn same thing.

 At about this time in pent- house high up over New York's exclusive East Side two young men were persuading themselves rather reluctantly to awaken and regard the glories of a new day. They were awakening rather early, too, for them. The previous evening they had attended a party.

Moore Attacks War Measures
Two of the most eminent author
tiles on international law, John Bas-
sett Moore Of New York, former
member Of the Hague court; and Ed
win VI Borchard, professor of inter-
national law at Yale, attacked the bill
as granting powers to declare war
without consent OF congress. Moore
declared it was in flat contradiction
to the traditional policy of the United
States. Borchard supported Moore
and added: THE vice in this resolu-
tion is that it affords the president
the power TO pick out one nation, in
agreement with other nations, de-
scribe that nation as an aggressor
an dthen, in concert with other pow
ers, attempt to strangle The 'aggres-
sor.'"
Borchard concluded: This resolu-
ton is not in the interest Of peace
and might lead to war"
It is felt here that the war in the
Far East and the South American
wars, or any one of the numerous
danger points in Europe or Asia
may flare up into a war that viii
sweep through the whole world.

less workers here has started with
the recent adoption of motion in
the City Council proposed by Coun-
Gilman Burke Of Dorchester, calling
for check-up Of all aliens receiving
city aid with a view to treating
them in a different manner from our
own citizens"
This is in line with the policy Of
the Massachusetts State Welfare
Board which is notifying foreign
born workers to report and is arrang-
ing to deport them. The City Coun-
Gil of Boston has already gone on
record to slash further the made
quate relief handed out to the Bos-
ton unemployed, after which relief
was cut one-third and grocery orders
have been substituted for cash.
Single workers are receiving only a
50 meal ticket.
That this economy" policy is
working in only one direction, at the
expense OF the workers, is more evil

Today the unemployed of this state

About 500 delegates elected through

preparations by the State for iobless
relief, unemployment insurance at
the expense Of the SKATE and the
bosses, no eyictions, no forced labor,
no discrimination against Negro
workers or foreign born, against
,Gcvernor Ely's anti-labor program to
'lengthen the hours of work for

Hunger March, backed by the local
struggles throughout the State, will
force the State to act and to grant

According to the present plans Of

The two-year protest movement
initiated by the international Labor

struggle for Negro rights, ha1 b ought
about somewhat of a CHANGE Gtti-
tude among certain sections of the
white population. This is reflected
by a slightly altered tone of even
some of the white southern news
papers.
Even those publications which were
formerly vicious toward the defense
are now becoming more restrained in
tone-consciouS as they are Of the
mass sympathy aroused
among the Negro n.asses as a result
Of the campaign On behalf of the in

For example, right here in Deca-

lowing tack in a front page editorial
on the Scottsboro trial:
ut is a compliment the court has
paid the people Of this county that
this litigation was sent to this county
because it was felt the people Of Nor
gan County would deal Justly and
fairly with all concerned"
The protest storm has undoubtedly
put the southern bourbonS on the de-

"impartiality," and is indicative Of
the strength of the defense.
