HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 3. In
movie preoccupied Hollywood, some
of the top-ranking stars never meet
or see each other. This seems less
strange when it is considered that
sometimes players in the same pic
ture don't meet.
Call 1t Day." a good current
example, has large cast in which
even the top names = Olivio de
Havilland and Ian Hunter-don't
get around to scenes with all the
others.
Marcia Ralston worked only with
Hunter, and Roland Young only
with Alice Brady and Frieda Ines
cort. Anita Louise appeared in
scenes only with Peter Wiles, the
new English youth. And Peggy Wood
and Walter King worked with Oil
via but with no other cast mem
bers.

Incidentally, this film marks the
return to Hollywood of Walter

the debris.
He likes being back.
And it's odd," he says, that it
should be in scenes with Peggy

us were considered for various stage
operettas, but the teaming never
worked out. And here we are to-
gether-for the first time and
neither of us has a song.

Republican Position.
From a Republican point of view,
inaction may be good political wish
fulness, but the Nation should not be
run from any political point of view
at the moment of an economic crisis.
The Republicans, therefore, are ag-
gressive in demanding change, but
they are aware that the Democratic
leadership is stubbornly resisting it,
especially i. the Senate. It's a tough
spot for Majority Leader Barley, but
unless he gets his followers in step
with the times he will have an insur-
gency on his hands, with Chairman
Pat Harrison of the Senate Finance
Committee probably leading the bat

political situation inside the Demo-
cratic party very much in session
just prior to congressional elections.
