BACHELOR KING
Of HOLLYWOOD
IS SOUGHT

HOLLYWOOD, April %
G.N.S0.-Ever since Gary Cooper
abdicated the throne as Holly
woods most eligible bachelor after
a long and virtually uncontested
reign, the situation as to the lead
ing heir apparent to the title has
been quite scrambled.
Alice Picks EN-
International News Service TO-
day asked a comparative new
conner to the motion picture beau.
ty list to voice her opinion.
She is blonde Alice Faye, singer,
dancer and actress, who has ap-
peared with Rudy Vallee, famed
crooner, on stage and screen and
whose name has been frequently
linked with his.
She says:
Hollywood has the most at
GEdCklNC duu EOAudHIAC HIGH 4
have ever met. But it's not
fair to ask a girl to select the
most eligible bachelor here, any
more than it is to ask a man to
name the most beautiful woman
whatever you say is bound
to be wrong.
"But If you must have a list
here it is: Jimmy Dunn, Phillip
Holmes, Lyle Talbot, Gene Ray
mOnd, FranchOt Tone, Jack
Oakie and Lew AyreS."
Miss Faye Included George
Raft, but was reminded George
could claim only pseudo-bachelor
ism in view of recent revelations
Of his matrimonial ENHANCEMENT
in the East.
Nothing Personal
Just what name, if any, or
Miss Faye's list she prefers per
Sonally, she refused with a gay
smile to state, but in the few
months that she had been here
her name has appeared promi
nently in the gossip columns at
one time or another along with
Nick Foran and Lyle Talbot.

A Thought for Today
Guardians, Not Guards

Representative Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, who looms at this writing as the candidate of the democratic party for U. s. Senator this fall, sounded the right keynote at gathering in Bridgeport Sun day when he stated, ". the two guards are welded into guardians and our forces are united. ." Guardians not guards That should be the battle cry of the forces this fall. We needed only some such en- couragement as this to go out and capture the state from the republicans Our thanks to Representative Maloney for supplying the necessary impetus.
 Nothing has probably thrown more consternation into republican ranks this summer than the apparent ease with which the democrats have become solidiy united party. The g.o.p. was counting heavily on the so-called old and new guard factions to prevent clean sweep at the polls next November And when Senator Augustine Lonergan took his memorable stand in the Senate and prevented confir- nation of several federal appointees ill Connecticut it looked once more as if har- mony would be lacking in democratic circles.
 But the Senator's action has proved just the opposite. Although expressions of UplLlOIl III uCluOCldCtC ClIClSo ulllCl do lo his action, it will not in any way prevent harmonious session at Groton early in September. Democrats are convinced that if old and new guard lines had not been mythically created year or more ago there would have been no reason to pro- duce such status as existed in Wash ington when the democratic senator from this state was ignored in the disposal of federal patronage.
 The general feeling of success that now actuates various leaders and potential can- didates to make such predictions is we'll founded. To the democrats the voters are really looking for guidance. They realize that what Governor Cross has given them in his two terms is only sample of what could be expected with complete demo- cratic domination. They know that only with men of the type as Representative Maloney and his democratic fellow legis- lators in Washington can the Roosevelt. policies be pushed to completion Keeping in mind that we are guardians not guards we cannot help but win.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-08
Progress Of Labor

Nonpartisan figures on industrial wages given out by the National Industrial Con- ference Board for the month of June are, on the whole, encouraging. Hourly earn ings averaging 58.6 cents were unchanged from May, and weekly earnings of $20.71 were less than half of 1 per cent lower than in May, as result of very slight decline in average working hours per week. The showing is naturally much better when compared with the situation year ago.
 "A comparison of conditions in June,
 1884, with those in June, 1883, in 25
 industries as whole," says the re-
 port, shows increases of 29.9 per
 cent in average hourly earnings, 11.3
 per cent in average weekly earnings,
 2.8 per cent in real average weekly
 earnings (that is, purchasing power),
 31.9 per cent in employment, 12.6 per
 cent in total man-hours, and 46.7 per
 cent in payroll, and decline of 14.7
 per cent in the average work week"
 July figures are not expected to be so good. It seems clear, however, that the recent decline is less than the usual "sea- sonal slump" It seems greater than it is because of the natural comparison with last June and July, when there was an ar tificial spurt of industrial activity 70 produce big stocks cheaply before the codes became effective.
 The most vital fact regarding labor, however, is not the earnings of workers but the number of idle workers. There are still 8,0O0,000 of them, mostly depend ent on public relief. They must never be lost sight of. The supreme task is to get several more millions back to work Until then there can be no prosperity.

else q part of the midwestern railways.
 His advisers meanwhile, have been urging the necessity of economic planning for rail and water lines. At present there is no common regulating agency. The interstate commerce com mission cannot touch water rates on port-to-port haults-can do so only when they are part by rail.
 So it is. almost certainty that a new agency to cO-relatc waterways and railroads will come out of the presidents trip.
 This will not mean the dim mutton of the inland waterways. As a matter of fact, the presi- dent has in mind big improve ment in the Mississippi system as a distribution chain connect ing the corn and wheat belt with the St Lawrence waterway. Also he plans a giant new canal giving the Tennessee valley a direct water-route to the Gulf of Mexico. Finally he wants to de- velop more. towns along the waterways in order, to break up congestion in industrial centers.
 Waterways probably and their relation to railways-will come in for some intense ccO- homie study in the near future. AFTERNiATHS
 General Johnson's firing of John Donovan, head of the MIRA employees union, from his job in the MIRA, has brought a train of important aftermaths.
 In the first place 1t has dis closed how great is the power yielded by Miss Frances kObin- son, administrative assistant of General Johnson. 2
 Only a few insiders know that it was Miss Robinson who ad- vocated Donovan's discharge. After the union chief had receiv- ed his papers, Johnson, sensing the labor reverberations ahead, considered his unemployment. But Miss Robinson advised against it.
 Many appreciated that Miss ILOUlHSOH, lNHO UcSdu do JOHH- sons stenogra pher, wielded potent influence in. the Blue Eagle roost, but not until the Donovan discharge, did even the initiated realize how potent she really is.
 Another development in the Donovan case has been the split in. the ranks of the American Federation of Labor. President Bill Green has stood with Donovan 100 per cent, is ready to testify for him at the hearings on Friday. But some . of his conservative cohorts op- . pose, among them Vice-Presi- dent Matthew Woll and E. Claude Babcock, head of the American Federation of Govern f ment Employees. <
 No other incident has devel- oped so clearly the fact that the directing force. of the A. +. of l.. is split wide open, experi- encing chaotic discord, Bill Green having become a pro- gressive- liberal. many of his sub-executives remaining dyed in-the-wool reactionaries.
