boy who played "bit" in the film.

lad said. "Are there any tips you can
give me?"
Crisp was startled by his abruptness,
and charmed by the eager, intense face
Of the boy. He spent an hour with
him and explained as best he could
the technique of direction.
In the years that followed Crisp
turned from direction to acting. He
forgot all about the eager lad who
wanted to be a director
That is, until he was cast recently
as the stern father in TOO Much of
Everything" at Warner Bros, and
introduced to the director, Arthur
Lubin.
"Oh, we've met BEFORE" said Lubin.
"Really?" said Crisp.
you once gave me a few tips on
direction when I was an extra on Don
O. I'm still using them, except for
few I've picked up myself"
Donald Crisp noted the eager, in
tense face on the young man and was
startled and charmed again.

with what results?" he was
asked.
They are still mulling over
it." said the C. I. o. chief, adding
that he and his associates might
have a statement later in the day.
WOLL FACETIOUS
To the suggestion of Curran that
they had been left in a state of
collapse by the C. I. o. proposal.
Matthew Vol, urbane representa-
tive of the Photo-Engravers and a
veteran Of numerous labor dis
putes, remarked that he didn't
think it would affect his appetite
for lunch.
Chairman Harrison, told what
Curran had said, remarked dryly:
"Yes2 Well, that's Joe Cur
rams statement"
Harrison said he and his fell
low conferees probably would con-
fer later in the day with President
Green, Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Murray and his committee Of
10 expected to be in touch during
the day with John L. Lewis.
There was more than a sugges-
ton of John Lewis handiwork in
the explosion of the c. I. o. bomb
at the outset of the second days
conference.
THE OLD STRATEGY
"Ask more than you expect
to get" is recognized in labor
councils as a Lewis strategem.
Beat 'em to the punch" is
another Lewis maxim.
It was clear as the conferees
went their separate ways that the
C. I. o. group thought they had
scored heavily with their proposal.
They made no attempt to conceal
their elation.
A Federation spokesman, cir.
culating informally among news
paper men covering the confer
ence, was busy during the morn
ing, however, putting out the sug-
gestion that the c. I. o. group had
erred in putting their proposal in
writing.

C. 1. o. RUSE SEEN
Analysed in the light OF the
membership strength claimed by
the two warning labor groups, it
was clear that If the Federation
should agree to the C. I. o. pro-
posal, it would give the c. I. o. a
voting majority in the labor move
ment, and likewise enable them
to control the lions share of the
dues, amounting in the aggregate
to many millions annually. The

bership in its various affiliates of
