Fills Order For
200 Negro Actors

While Central Casting Bureau
serves major motion picture stu
dos with many of their calls for
extra film players to be used in
large productions d e d n @
crowds for atmosphere scenes, such
as Marco Polo,' Hurricane They
Won't DE- and the like, Holly
wood finds a unique and convenient
service in the Chudnow Artist
Agency, as Ben Carter supplies Ne
gro bit and feature players of high
er class to most of the larger stu
dos producing in Hollywood.
Interviewed this week in his new
ly decorated branch office in West
Temple where talent scouts bring
in new recruits whose acts must be
whipped into shape by Carter and
his associates, or rehearsals of con-
tract players are held before stu
do directors see them, Carter de-
clared the current week a record
breaker for the employment of col
ored acts, feature actors and act
resses, and bit players in the NOV
les.
On his beautiful mahogany and
ivory desk, set imposing in one
corner of the studio-office, rested
orders calling for more than 200
actors, singers, and dancers. They
came from Fox and Hal Roach
studios: Warner Brothers, Major,
Monogram, and Sol Lesser Produc-
ton companies.
A healthy sign for the success of
the agency is the fact that all play
rs are required to join the Screen
Actors Guild before signing Up for
picture work. This not only helps
the actor, Carter pointed out, but
it keeps up the standard of motion
picture performances up to the pu-
bile demand for the best in its
screen fare.
I am happy to say" Carter be-
gan, chat there is no jim crow in
motion picture work. Our players
must meet the same requirements
that other players meet. If anyone
thinks to the contrary, he simply
does not get into the film colony.
Our pay is set by the guild and we
do not have to haggle over costs
and wages, making bad feeling on
one hand, taking the artists mind
off his work on the other. I, myself
am a member of the guild and am
very proud of it," he said. 1--WE
conform strictly to all guild and
union regulations set forth for mo-
ton picture players"

raj schools win have an important
part in conducting the thirty-first

an opportunity to buy Christmas
Seals and to aid the Nebraska Tu-
berculosis Associations drive to
bring health and happiness to all.
This year the town crier on the
Christmas Seal will ring a message
of t~hankfulness for what has been
accomplished in the cause of health.
He will also ring from coast to
coast, the call for united work dur
ing the Seal Sale. at seems fitting
that his call should be reinforced
by other bell music upon the oc-
casion of the opening of the Seal
Sale and the beginning of the holi-
day season. Miss Alice Marshall,
executive secretary of the Nebras-
ka tuberculosis Association, states.
Accordingly a teaching unit in
interpretive music has been sent to
every rural school teacher taking
part in the Seal Sale, and will be
used throughout the campaign on
programs given by the students,
This unit was prepared for the ma
tional association by Mrs. Salts N.

PUBLIC SUPPORT
OF MERIT URGED
0rdWay, oil. Civil Service
Commission, Sees Hope
in Education.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

OTTAWA, Ont, October S.-De-
claring that salvation in the face Of
inevitably expanding government lies
only IN the perfection Of the merit
system" Samuel H. Ordway, jr, new
member Of the United States Civil
Service Commission, emphasized in a
speech last night that this can be
brought about solely through educa-
ton OF the public.
Ordway spoke at the dinner which
concluded the annual meeting of the
Civil Service Assembly Of the United
States and Canada, which heard also
Lord Tweedsmuir, the Governor Gen
eral Of Canada, and Secretary of
State Rtfret.
The meaning OF open competition
and the nature Of recruitment, the
advantages and disadvantages of edu-
cational requirements, the nature Of
training employees at work, and the
nature OF personnel management are
M matters which must be understood
by the people," Commissioner Ordway
said.
Patronage Propaganda Heavy.
Without such education, legisla-
eors will continue to impose upon the
people, block the application of merit
principles and sanction patronage. The
propaganda of patronage is more de-
tailed and more appealing than the
propaganda of merit. When a poll
tician states: This little girl can fill
any Job anybody else can fill. She
has as big heart and head as any,
BODY people sympathize. We must
humanize the propaganda OF merit
also"
Ordway added that an improve
ment IN teaching civics in schools and
colleges was necessary in the general
plan OF educating the public.
At the afternoon meeting of the
assembly. Jacob Baker, president of
the United Federal Workers of Amer
lea. white collar" affiliate of the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton, attacked the motives behind re-
current discussion of the right of
Government employees to strike.
Sees Non-Issue Question.
Saying that "the right to strike has
never been an issue, to my knowledge.
IN any organization OF Government
employees" Baker added:
Il believe the present general IN
terest' in Government employees and
the strike stems from perhaps two mo-
tives. The first motive I assign to a
general bias against unionism. The
newspapers and the organizations
which sponsor these discussions, since
they can find no valid or tenable OBJ
lection to the organization Of Gov
ernment employees, are attempting to
discredit unions among Government
employees by insinuating motives and
tactics to them that do not exist.
1T Is discouraging to find dishon-

esty institutionalised, but this u not
so serious in the light Of what I be-
lieve Is the second motive for the
quick fare Of interest in the right Of
Government employees to strike.
"By = not too subtle and not too
logical extension Of the theory regard
ing the impropriety OF striking Gov
eminent workers we are now Witness
ing calculated effort to widen this
restriction to include other workers
who are not Government workers"
In this connection, he recalled the
recent move OF the Maritime Commits
sion against striking seamen on an

FUNDAMENTALLY
DEMOCRATIC
Latin America does incline a bit to-
ward relationships. It did so long be-
fore Fascism and Nazi-ism ever were
thought of. Latin Americas kind are
relationships which come and go. Be
tween the relationships the southern
republics have spells of democracy.
Their traditions are democratic, in
fact.
Simon Bolivar pronounce it "Si-
moan," with the accent on the last syl-
liable, "Bo-lee-var," with the accent on
the second syllable), the famed South
American liberator, was one of his
tory's greatest democrats-a hero
from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn.
Any Southern American dictatorship
trembels at the mention of his name.
George Washington "has nothing" on
him comparatively.
Democracy, in short, is basic, at
least south of the Isthmus of Panama.
When I lived in the Argentine,
was tempted to adopt Argentine citi-
zenship, on the ground that Argentine
democracy was truer than our own. It
would have been a mistake. Argen-
tina has had a dictatorial period since
then, but now it is getting back to de-
mocracy.
They are a volatile bunch-the
South Americans.
But fundamentally genuine demo-

VARGAS NOT BASIC
1t is a safe bet that no South Anne
rican republic Qike BraziD will hook
up with a bankrupt country, such as
Germany or Italy, against the United
States.
It doesn't make sense.
The State Department may not I'M
derstand it very well.
Nevertheless, a cuckoo dictator, such
as Vargas, while he may make con-
siderable trouble, is not basic. He can
not last long locally.
