BIZ Times Special
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Sept. 90
Fresh tensity developed today in
South Bends prolonged labor strife.
Disclosure that machinery has
been dismantled and removed from
the Bendix Products Corp. brought
a blanket request from 1000 work
ers that they be assured future en-
ployment.
Factory officials revealed that a
fourth Of the plants equipment has
been shipped TO an unnamed desti-
nation. They said the removal was
a precaution against the possible
success Of strike agitators.
Union employees. who are demand
ing wage increase and more favor
able seniority rights, deny that a
strike is contemplated.
Meanwhile. a crisis was expected
in the city's taxi strike. now en-
tering its fifth day. Drivers re-
jected a compromise proposal sub
mitted by company officials, and the
latter asked for police protection in
order to resume service with non
union drivers.
The strikers demand a guaranteed
wage of $3.50 a week, contending
that their present commission earn
ings have been reduced unjustly by
excessive competition.

no stretch Of Imagination could
they see me as an actor. I WASH
even considered as a spear toter
or a football offstage.
When I got down to earning
my living, started as a cartoon
ist on a Helena newspaper. Five
years later 1 had ambitions
enough in this line to journey to
Los Angeles for a chance on a
bigger paper. My tryout there
was equally as disastrous as that
at Grinnell.
But I had to eat. So I decided
to become an extra.
More than a year of this kind
of work dispelled the FL Dorado
vision of the movies. I had the
same experience which all other
extras have in Hollywood. Some
times I ate. More often, didn't.
Often my last nickel would go
for a loaf of bread, to get the
most for my money, and, for want
Of a dining-room, I would sneak

behind billboard and devour the
bread there.
7 WAS all ready to hike my way
i back to Montana and settle
down to becoming a good cow
puncher when the accident hap
pened which still needs explaining.
Hans Tiesler, an independent
producer, picked me out Of the
crowd on one of those rare days
when I did have work and gave
me the leading part in a series of
two-reel Westerns opposite Eileen
Sedgwick.
OF course, I felt panicky. Hadn't
I been told back at Grinnell that I
wasn't cut out to be an actor? But
I saw a chance to draw pay checks
until I should be found out.
The most surprised person in
the world was myself when I
found that my work was accepted.
I even got the chance to do small
parts in feature pictures after
that.
Things were looking up, and I
was riding the crest of the wave.
I could now save enough money
against the time when the final
blowoff would come, after which
would be able to ride back to Mon
tana in more or less Of what is
known as style.
A PART I played in The Win
L n ming of Barbara Worth" re-
ally started the ball rolling. B. P.
Schulberg, who was then manag-
ing director of Paramount, told me
he wanted to give me a rest. Ac-
cordingly, I was summoned to the
studio and shown into an Office.
When I walked in, there were a
lot Of stolid-faced executives and
directors sitting around, facing
the door. I stepped into the room
and waited, embarrassed, for
some one to say something. All
lney old was stare at me, ana l
never spent a more nervous mo-
ment in my life.
I tried to smile nonchalantly-
no one had yet thought up the
idea of reaching for a cigaret in
such a crisis-and before the
ordeal became beyond endurance,
I was uShered out of the room.
Half an hour later, signed my

name to a contract, the result Of
that silent interview. One Of the
big mysteries of my life is what
made them come TO that decision.
But here I am, still holding
down my job at the same old
stand. I still occupy the same
dressing room I was assigned then.
I work hard and try to do my job
well.
Despite what they said about
me at Grinnell, I learned quite a
bit about acting. Great chances
came my way in the form Of good
stories and good direction.
1 guess I've forgotten all about
going back to Montana and cow
punching. A quiet home life in
Hollywood, where I can mind my
own business. is just as gratifying.

Artist Gary Cooper
Is Much Better Actor!
This Is the 18th Of a series Of life
stories by noted movie stars.

IT'S no use asking me what
Il makes a motion picture star.
I'm sure I don't know.
When I started out, 1 had no
burning ambition to become a
star-nor even an actor. I was an
extra for some time, and not a
very successful one at that,
judging by the many meals which
had TO postpone for indefinite
periods.
If I had any burning ambition
at all, it was to be a staff artist
on a newspaper. I never got to
first base. 1t was as a result Of
failure in this direction that 1
landed in movies-and I can't fig
ure out yet what made me try,
either.
Part Of my education I had in
England when, at the age of 9,
was sent to a grammar school at
Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Just be-
fore was 13, I returned to my
birthplace, Helena, Mont, Tor my
high school career.
1 might have thought of becom-
ing a cowboy during the two years
1 spent on my fathers Montana
cattle ranch where I had gone to
recover my health following an
automobile accident.
=
A NY ideas I may have had
L n about becoming an actor
were pretty much squashed when
I went to college at Grinnell, Ia.
Once. and only once, during my
two years there did I try to crash
the drama group.
They gave me the once-over
and a half-hearted tryout before
announcing me the opinion they
had long before formed-that by
