Winning Supevisor-Stsr Combines
Should Be Kept, Holds CaroIe

HOLLYWOOD, June 8-One OF
the better suggestions Of the week
comes from Carole Lombard, the
blonde Paramount star. Carole,
whose head is screwed down very
securely on her pretty shoulders,
argues for the permanent team
ing Of q star with her supervisor
If they produce results, instead of
a haphazard system Of assigning
whoever Is available.
The studio supervisor is tn e
butt Of jokes by the ones he has
to step on. Miss Lombard feels
he becomes unusually valuable to
picture making when he Is linked
with q personality he understands,
can work with and develop.
TITS . mistake to take him
away from star when one pic

the combination works, 1t should
not be broken. Some Of our
biggest screen names have been
developed and . great many Of
the big box office hits come
out Of the kind Of partnership
I suggest"
She points to such artistic alli-
anceS as Dietrich and Won Stern

Norma Shearer; in the silent days
Cecil B. DeMille with Leatrice Joy,
later with Gloria Swanson, now
in talkieS with Claudette Colbert.

Asked If her suggestion went a.
far as women supervisors for men
stars, she gives decided no. Men
should be managed by men, she
believes, and gives Daryl Zanuck
and his luck with male box offices
names as an example.

Hecht, 17.year-old daughter OF
Ben Hecht, will make her debut
as a film actress In "Crime With

Charles Macarthur are producing
for Paramount at Eastern Service
Studios, Astoria, Long Island.
Miss Hecht, blonde, blue-eyed

to public appearances, having
studied ballet dancing with Mord-
kin for three years. She has ap-
peared in recitalS at Roerich

high school in Great Neck, L. l.,
and danced for the Women's
Club Of Douglaston and Great
Neck.
She studied the piano at the

Bv JIMMY STARR

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 8.-Hello. Once upon time

Now, however, an entirely diff
ferent procedure has become evil
dent. The breaks come, in most
cases, by accident.
Dorothy Dell, for one, was
minding her own business vocal
izing and had no thought Of a
screen career when Paramount
bounced along and signed her
and made her an actress over
night.
In far off London, a talent
scout saw Frances Drake dane
ing. A test was made-and she
was on her way to screen fame.
Ruby Keller got her break be-
cause she did a "cute dance" and
photographed swell.
Alice Faye was slated for a
tiny bit in the Fox picture but
ended up with a long-term con-
tract.
Irene Dunno was originally
signed for musical pictures, but
turned out to be a leading dra-
matte actress.
Margaret SULLIVAN was sky
rocketed to fame by Universal,
not because she liked the idea,
but because there didn't seem to
be anything else to do at the
time. She liked working with
little stock companies, and doesn't
particularly care for films.
But while all this Is going on
adherents to the old order do not
lose hope. Some day, they say,
it is inevitable that the cycle will
swing around again, and once
more recorders of Hollywood's
daily grist of news will find
themselves writing:

Ford Auto Workers
Give Aid to Strikers
In German Auto Plant

DETROIT, Sept. rs. The Ford
Local Of the Auto Workers Union
has sent donation of Sc to the
workers in the Opel auto plant in
Frankfort, Germany, to aid them in
their struggle against the Hitler
terror. The Opel plant is owned
by the General Motors Corp, an
American concern. The donation
was accompanied by a letter of soli-
darity, which declares, in part:
1.-THE Detroit delegate to the
Women's International Congress
Against War and Fascism brought
to us your invitation to help YOU
strike a blow against F'ascism. We
are happy to accept your offer. No
matter how much we can do, we
will feel ourselves to be your debtor
Your example of courage, determi-
nation and ingenuity steelS us for
the struggles we are about to face.
We workers in Detroit know that
we are not immune from the blight
of Fascism. 1t is not an accident
that Henry Ford helped to finance
German FaScism during its forma-
tive period. Some of the money
wrung from our toll was used to nav
the Hitler murder gangs. Ford and
other powerful capitalists are bitter
ly opposed to the right of workers
to organize"

GREENWOOD, Ark, Sept. 90
Harvey Scott, white member of the
Sharecroppers' Union here, was shot
and killed by John Oswald, a land
lord neighbor, on Sept. 2, it is ad-
mitted here.
Despite his knowing that Scott is
guilty of Oswald's murder, Sheriff
Leonard Bell, of Pope County, re-
fuses to take any action against
him. When the sheriff saw SCOTS
dead body, he said, according to
witnesses:
Tell John he did a good job. I
would have pinned blue ribbon on
him If he had got his buddies
too"
Bell has been leading a reign
of terror against troopers here. He
broke their 1888 strike with Khan
methods.
Oswald admits he murdered
Scott. He charges that Scott was
stealing corn from him. Four ears
of corn were found in the dead
mans pocket, but it was evident
that he had been rolled over and
the ears put into his pocket after
he had been murdered.
Demands for the prosecution OF
Oswald for the murder are being
sent to Assistant Prosecutor Joe
Shepherd, Greenwood, Arkansas.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 26.-Cal-

to the Grand Jury on a charge of
murder in connection with the kill
ing Of James Conner, scab long

The other 81 are to have a pre-
liminary group hearing this week.
Several shots were fired from in
side the hall. A gang boss has
even admitted that one of his shots
might have been the fatal shot. In
addition, several of the defendants
have definite proof they were not
even present at the scene of the
fighting. This weight of evidence
in favor of the defendants has
made no impression on the court,
which is intent on carrying out the
orders of the shipping bosses to
frame up these 81 militant rank and
file members of the international
Longshoremen's Association.
Wives of 81 of the defendants
have organized a defense commit
tee. Although the main activity Of

under way to broaden its work for
the fight for the release of their
husbands and the other framed

N Newspapers Refused
To 2 ScottsborO Boys,
Kilby Warden Admits

SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 25.-A
letter received last week by the Tom
Mooney Branch of the International
Labor Defense here, from George P.
Walls, warden of Kilby Prison, con-
firms the charge that Haywood
Patterson and Clarence Norris, two
Of the Scottsboro boys, are being
deprived Of newspapers and litera-
ture sent to them by workers on
the outside.
The branch had sent the boys
some literature and letter express
ing its solidarity with the world
wide mass fight for their safety and
freedom. When four weeks passed
without any word from the boys,
the branch wrote the warden, who
replied that he was running the
prison to suit himself.
Refusal to permit the boys to re-
ceive news of the fight for their
release is part of the program Of
the lynch rulers to demoralize them.
Protests against this outrage should
be sent to Warden Geo. P. Walls,
Kilby Prison, Montgomery, and
Gov. M. L. Miller, Montgomery, Ala.

40th st. and Girard Ave, to pro-
test the falling of six workers for
leading Free Thaelmann demon
stration in front of the local Ger
man consulate last July.
The demonstration was called by
the West Philadelphia section of
the Communist Party, following the
rejection Of the pro-Hitler Judge
Heiligman of a motion by Interna-
tional Labor Defense attorneys for
a new trial. Two Of the six work
ers, James Wilson and Ben Gard
ner were sentenced to one year in
Jail. Sentences of six months were
imposed on the other four, Beatrice

for the introduction of an efficiency
system which has meant increased
speed-up and wage cuts for the
dressmakers. In Local 20 the last
vestiges Of trade union democracy
are being wiped out, with members
being suspended, terrorized and
penalized for expressing opposition
to zimmermans policies. thinner
mans talk of a general strike does
not square with his complete failure
to take any steps to stop the drive
against the dressmakers' condi-
lions.
Furthermore, at a time when
the Workers Bill for Unemploy-
nlent and Social Insurance is the
most burning issue before the men,

the means of protecting the unem-

is silent on this question. It is well
known that Zimmerman supported
the reactionary officials of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers Union in their convention last
June when they refused to consider
the Workers Bill and instead sup
ported the Wagner-Lewis Bill.
why also has Zimmerman failed
to reply to repeated requests of the
trade unions for united action to
provide relief and to mobilize the

appear to many rank and file mem
bers of the A. F. Of l.. as a militant
proposal in the interests of the
rank and file. Every rank and file
member of the A. F. of L. should
remember however, that during the
great general strike of the textile
workers, which has Just been
broken by the greatest betrayal in
American labor history, the chair
man Of the strike committee,
Francis German, resorted to SINH
lar militant proposals. He talked
Of general strike and used high

workers back to hunger and in
creased misery.

Workers Bill

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IS.
Church schools and missionary
societies of the A. M. E. Zion Meth
odist Church in Washington, Bal
timore and Philadelphia have unan-
imously endorsed the Workers I'm
employment Insurance Bill, the
Washington Unemployment Council
announced yesterday.
The council sent delegates to
present the Workers Bill to this
Negro church group during its re-
cent district convention held in
Washington. Several Negro pastors,
addressing the 100 delegates, spoke
enthusiastically for the Workers
Bill in the discussion, which resulted
in unanimous endorsement.

against the entire revolutionary
movement. BY their very actions
and by the fact that they have been
expelled from the ranks Of the Com
munist Party and the Young Com
munist League, and by the role that
they are attempting to play in the
labor movement at present, they
have we'll earned the position of be-
ing the vanguard Of the counter
revolutionary bourgeoisie
From this standpoint, it is clear
that while the Young Communist
League is anxious to enter into
united front with the Young Peo-
pies Socialist League and all other
youth organizations, it cannot,
without compromising it's revolu-
tionary integrity and deceiving the
masses Of youth, have any dealings
with these renegade grouplets. Just
as we do not demand as a condition
of unity with the Young Commu-
mist League that the Young Peoples
Socialist League refuse to unite
with these renegade groups, SO we
expect that the Young Peoples So
cialist League will not demand of
us as, a condition of unity with it,
that we do unite with these rene
gade groups. To persist in such de-
mands would be to consciously
place insuperable obstacles in the
way of achieving unity. We hope
that the Young Peoples Socialist
League will not do this.
Meeting Proposed
I'VE believe that if you are sin
cerely interested in the establish
ment of real unity of the youth of
the city, you will not insist upon
placing any obstacles in the way OF
achieving this unity by insisting
upon the participation of these two
renegade groups on the arrange
ments committee.
with the exception of the rene
gade groups, unity has already
been achieved for this action be-
tween two student organizations
invited by you to act as the ar
rangements committee for the DEM
onstration. 1t therefore remains
only for the Young Communist
League and the Young Peoples So
cialist League to establish unity be-
tween their respective organiza-
tons.
THE recent American Youth
Congress has demonstrated that q
real working united front can be
established between our organiza-
tons. We therefore believe that the
establishment of a working agree
ment between our two organizations
will be received enthusiastically by
all other organizations and that
they will join in such united front
actions.
I'VE therefore propose that 8
meeting be Immediately held be-
tween representatives of our organ
izations, where details for this anti
fascist action can be worked out
AS the outcome of this meeting, g
joint call can be issued to all the
youth Of New York on the basis Of
the minimum program that will be
established for this united front &C.

these proposals so that we can &c
