BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

Speaking before the Fort Steuben
Philatelic Society, Steubenville, Ohio,
last evening, Michael L. Eidsness, jr.
former superintendent Of the division
of stamps and now associate editor Of
Stamps Magazine, New York, sug-
gested to the Post ONCE Department
the establishment of philatelic ad-
visory council.
If I were Postmaster General" he
said, i would call together a group
of experienced men to advise me in
philatelic matters. Before the meet
ings of this group would come all the
problems which collectors want set
tied, all the difficulties which con-
stantly are arising. No one who is
familiar with the practical aspect Of
philately can doubt for moment the
helpful contribution which thus could
be made. Granted that the council
would have only advisory powers, 1t
nevertheless would exercise a large
and benehcent influence.
Council viii Decide.
'"To illustrate: There Is the prob
lem Of new stamps. Some collectors
would limit the number; others would
increase 1t. Which is the better
policy? The council would decide.
Also: There is the matter of what
new stamps should be. Shall the Post
ONCE Department sponsor doubtful
productions like the Byrd stamp and
! the 50-cent Zeppelin stamp, or shall
it rigidly exclude all such special
novelties? Shall the requests of
philatelic societies and Exhibition
Committees for imperforate souvenir
sheets be granted or refused? Shall
flrst-day Sales be limited to the
Nations Capital, as they were in the
past, or scattered all over the map,
as they have been in recent years?
Shall the Post once Department set
up philatelic museum or leave that
business to the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, where in my Judgment it be-
longs? Shall the philatelic agency
be decentralized or not? Shall special
sheets Of uncompleted stamps be per-
mitted to pass from the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing to favored
officials or shall they be discontinued
once and for all? Shall commemora-
tive stamps Of merely local significance
be authorized or frowned upon? Shall
postage due stamps be made avail
able to collectors through accredited
postmasters or not? These are but
few OF the many questions now be-
ing discussed which such a council
could consider and settle.
Would Be Constructive Force.
"As to the constitution of the coun-
Gil I think 1t would be desirable to
have representation from the national
philatelic societies, from the respons-
! ible philatelic press, from the dealers
as a group and independent collectors
as a group. There is ample precedent
for the idea. Any branch of the Gov
ernment may call upon citizens for
advice, and most branches have done
so repeatedly.
The purposes of order and progress
would be served, feeling of conf
dence would be initiated. the present
anarchy would be eliminated. The
council would be a constructive force
of the very sort which all thoughtful

Hollywood NescS And Gossip
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Staff Corresponden


 Hollywood = When Ann Dvorak returned from a years round-the- world honeymoon trip with her husband, Leslie Fenton, her first comment was, "IB had to do it over again, I'd do the same thing"
 By these words Miss Dvorak re- nounced a career that might have led her to stardom, for a happy married life.
 There is only one explanation for such attitude, which I prefer letting Ann give in her own words.
 My marriage is the most im- portant thing in my life. After that comes my career. No matter how brilliant a .careeY might be offered,.I wouldn't strive for it if I thought there was even the slightest chance of it's breaking up
 'I may get another chance to become star, and if do, I'll try hard to make good, because don't believe anything could come between Leslie and myself, now.
 However, I rather would wait indefinitely for a starring oppor- tunity, happy with my husband, than to be star now, at the pos sible cost of matrimonial ship wreck" ss
 Bebe Daniels in Business Whenever 1Bebe Daniels gets ready to retire from the screen. she won't have to worry about the source of her income.

 It's too bad they. can't have them all the time. What a flock of dresses they would sell! Imagine the men who would take their wives in to buy new dresses. just to see Arlipe. Sally, Leila, or Helenn model.
 The shop is. in a unique setting; too. In the same building is hat shop run by Verna Chalif, a lin- gerie shop run by Bebe's mother, Mrs Phyllis Daniels, and a. baby shop run by Mrs Alexander Pan tages. Bebe is the only one of all the owners who won't be in attendance

PALACE

"Flying Down to Rio" which opens at Polfs tomorrow forecRs, what gay nightclubs of the future will be like. No doubt there will be aerial night clubs springing up around the country, carrying out the idea introduced in one of the tilm's elaborate settings.
 Occupying an immense sound stage, covering approximately 22,- 500 square feet of floor space, it features such startling things as tables resembling the tail-ends of airplanes, white marble fuselage tapering down to the rudder and elevator, which are made of plate glass, lined with plished silver, and a tete-a-tete nook for spooners seeking privacy, which hangs, in the air at one side of the dance floor and resembles the cabin of giant dirigible.
 The whole affair carries out the dirigible idea. The roof support ed not by pillars but by girders built like the latticed frame skele- ton of the lighter -than-air craft.
 The most notable innovation however, is flying orchestra" By a clever arrangement of con- cealed and silently operating tracks, the band on this remark able club performs in a huge bal loon basket, soaring about over the heads of diners and dancers.
 The set referred to in the film as the "Aviators Club" carries out the theme of the production itself, the first aerial musical ever staged. It climaxes in spectacular affair show, 100 beautiful girls singing and dancing on the wings of giant airplanes as they soar over beauti- full Rio de Janeiro.
 The story is enacted by an all star cast headed by Dolores Del Rio, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Gene Raymond and Roul Roulien in romantic roles.
 There will be no advance in prices for this great screen attrac- tion.

COMEDIAN MACK
 MEETS DEATH IN : AUTO ACCIDENT
Victim Was Member of Moran and Mack Team
 of Stage Fame

Mesa, Ariz. Jan 12-UP)--Char- les E. Mack, 46, whose droll humor as one of the 1.-TWO Black Crows" delighted millions of listeners for years, is dead. He was fatally injured last night near this small desert town, when his automobile overturned, pinning him in the wreckage. With him were his partner, George Moran, the other black crow; his wife and daughter, and Mack Sennett, prom inent film producer. They were in- jured. Sennett perhaps seriously.
 Mack died with a smile, shortly after being brought to local hospi- tai. Moran sat by his bedside, weeping.
 His wife, suffering from abra- sions on head and body, .Was in an adjoining room. Attaches said she
 was on the verge of collapse. The accident occurred as the group was en route to Hollywood where the black face stage, screen and radio comedians were to make a motion picture.
 We were travelling about 45
 miles an hour" Moran said. Mrs Mack was driving and Sennett sat beside her. Charley, his daughter, (Mary Jane, 18) and I sat in the back seat.
 Suddenly tire blew out. I think it was rear tire. The carslurched into a ditch and turned over three or four times. I can't remember, it all happened so suddenly. When ] came to, I found myself crawling through the top of the car. l reached for Mary Jane to help her out and then we saw Charley, pin ned beneath the pack seat" r Moran suffered abrasions about the legs. His head and tongue also were cut. Mary Jane was only slightly bruised and shaken. Sem nett was cut about the head and shoulders and complained of in- juries to his chest.

It's Not a Tea Party

TN all strikes trouble arises from the effort to keep
il operations going with strike breakers at times
when feeling runs high. 1 can not see why the
state should be enlisted in helping employers to
carry on these anti-social and highly infiammatory
tactics The striker loses during LABOR dis
pute.
Why shouldn't the employer fOrego profits during
that same stretch of time? The duty of the govern
nent through its police militia should be to see
that operations are shut down the minute that DIM
culties begin. Both sides then could approach the
problem in hand with more reason and less passion
Directors Of the National Association OF Cotton
manufacturers met in Boston yesterday afternoon
and at the end of the meeting of them blandly
announced. We are willing to submit any question
of working conditions to the established machinery
Of the code authority"
When I see statements of this sort 1 doubt the
protestations Of the mill that they feel their
cause is Just and that they are being put upon by
the agators. You see the spokesman for the cotton
manufacturers forgot to explain to the reading
public of Boston that the industrys code authority
is made up solely of cotton manufacturers and that
IN effect 1t would be appeal from Philip, ada
mant to Philip adamant.
The textile strike should furnish to America the
final and convincing proof that labor no longer will
submit the dictatorship of industriaists. Its So-
gan might well be- no work without representa-
ton" And incidentally Boston harbor was the
scene Of one of the first American efforts IN mass
pcketng. But have no desire to draw the parallel
too close. This is not tea party.
