Spain proves that it is possible for
a country to be too radical for its own
good. Labor troubles and discussions
have put one million Spanish workers
out of their jobs, good many for
Spain; and Spanish radicalism goes
beyond other kinds, many having been
killed by "terrorists"

HOLLYWOOD. May 15.-"I always
am amazed when l read about my

fame is out as far as I am con-
cerned because to date 1 have not
accomplished anything to warrant
that tag. AS for the swift rise'-it
seems to have been. a long pull to
me.
Il have heard many stories about
stage people who started in the

Il was born in Filley, Neb., and
the trouble started then. I was and
say trouble because 1 don't recall
ever asking for anything when 1
was kid that I didn't get. Per-
haps l was pretty reasonable in my
requests. A kid brought up in a
small town isn't likely to want the
moon, bright lights aren't just
around the corner. The family
moved to Beatrice, Neb., and I went
to public school there. l guess 1 was
about when 1 wanted to play the
piano, cello and sax. l wanted to
be a musician and I was in a hurry
about it. The piano and cello were
in but the saNophone was out as
far as my parents were concerned.
Il started to take music lessons.

next music lesson my teacher said:
Good boy, Robert. I can tell

That may have been significant of

at the time; l had not thought of
becoming an actor. l entered COL

years are marked by some study
and great deal of tennis. Then 1
went to Pomona, Cal, and it looks
now as though that were a lucky
move because l became interested in
dramaticS there. I always did think
that it was good study, whether a
student took it with the idea Of a
professional career, or just as first

while was in Pomona I still didn't

Survey Reveals Star May

Times Special
HOLLYWOOD, May 15.-If there's
any movie axiom that has been ex-
ploded thoroughly, it is that stars
professional career lasts only about
five years.
A survey of the film colony shows
the career of normally intelligent
and capable player lasts at least 10
years, possibly longer. The survey
also shows that a character actor
can count on at least II years dur
ing which the box office will be rea
sonably good.
An outstanding example of career
maintained is Herbert Marshall, who
has co-starred with most top rank
ing actresses in Hollywood in the
last four years, and who now hasn't
approached what he believes will be
the peak of his professional success.
One Role Careers Short

virtuous type. They want actors
and actresses to show weaknesses
common to mankind.
In the old days, you were either
leading man or a leading woman

has grown tired of these sappy por-
traits. That is why an intelligent
actor today can look forward to at

Their next assignment is with a

Each season, Mr.. Seelig explained,
his firm purchases material from
Broadway song and comedy writ

from closed musical productions,
and the show is ready for produc-

work than this, perhaps, but this
is the general idea, Mr.. Seelig said.
For several years Mr.. Seeiig was
in charge of the European branch
of Jerome H. Cargill, booking vaude-

continent and England. Mr.. Totten
was in South America doing similar
work until two years ago.

Pewer Trust Lobbyists Get Airing :.
Black Probe Opens Way Home
Entertaining Told =.

WASHINGTON - Perhaps the bright day is
coming when a congressman who shares double
bed with power trust" lobbyist can be sure OF
knowing his companions real occupation.
It Will be lot harder for the House judiciary
committee to keep Senator Hugo Blacks IoooylSt
registration bill bottled up now that Black mas
turned up six members of the House who were
living with such lobbyist last summer at time
when the battle over the public utilities holding
company bill was in its warmest stage.
In fact that was Just what Black had in mind
when as chairman of the Senate lobby committee,
he brought to the witness stand relatively small
time utility and railroad lobbyist named Robert T.
Smith who admitted sharing Washington
home last August with Congressman Pettengiu OF
Indiana Cary of Kentucky, Scrugham of Nevada,
Clark of Idaho Fiesinger of Ohio. and Sutphin OF
New Jersey.
The house was the scene of entertainment for
dozens of other representatives and at least three
senators.
Another thing the Black bill would do would be
to kecp lobbyists for special, concentrated inter-
ests from masquerading as representatives OF enor
nous groups of voters. Smith, for instance, was
chairman of the National Conference OF invest
ors" -, o.-.
That sounded like big stuff until Senator
Schwellenbach of Washington disclosed That con-
tributions over a recent considerable period mad
consisted of $4,000 from power companies and
$4,000 from railroads.
THE Black bill would compel any person en-
gaging for pay other consideration to influence
legislation the action of any official to register
with the clerk of the House and the secretary OF
the Senate. giving his name, identity OF MS en-
blowers and amount of his remuneratons
LOBBYISTS must also file statements every three
months of money received and spent. They would
be subject to stiff penalties if they failed to COM
ply or made false statements
This measure has passed the Senate. For some
reason Chairman Hatton w. Summers OF the
House judiciary committee, Texan, has kept the
bill from the House floor In view of the recent
evidence, continuance of that policy may prove
embarrassing to Summers.
ALTHOUGH Smith was financed chiefly by
power interests, which last summer were wagng
bitter warfare against the holding company bill,
he and the six congressman insisted they hadn't
discussed that measure.
The record shows however, that all six con-
gress1nen with the exception of Scrugham voted
against the administrations death sentence"
clause which was the crux of the fight Petten-
gill played leading part in the fight against the
bill
WHETHER they are aware of it or not the
budget-balancers intent on cutting down relief
allowances are doing more than anyone else to
foment a radical third party. Anyway, that's what
the third party organizers think.
