A SweH Girl

Seriously, and off the medical
record, Rosalind Russell is one
of the incest girls I met in Holly
wood. Yes, l know she is a star,
but she's so natural that after
you meet her once you think OF
her thereafter as just a swell
girl. I know it was that way
with me.
Larry Barber, head of the
M-G.M still department, took me
over to RoSalind'S new Beverly
Hills home. And guess how I
met the star? Over a bar, so
help me! OF course, it was a
small bar, and a veddy, veddy
private bar over which was
served only sherry and beer, but
1t was a bar just the same. The
maid answered our knock, then
led us through a couple of rooms
to a little cocktail corner. There
two or three folks were sitting
around including Lillian Rosini,
head of the M-G-M makeup de-
partment. My eyes skipped the
bar and took in the room. No
Russell. Then I looked back.
There stood the beautiful star,
dressed in riding clothes, pour
ing some pretzels into a dish.
Strong Grip
She looked up and extended
her hand as Larry introduced us.
A strong grip. No wiShy-waShy
business about that handclaSp.
Clear eyes of such a color as to
appear black. Long, thick bob
parted on the side. A lovely
smile and manner that dared
you to be yourself in hei COM
pany. I was in two minutes.
She's like that. Just a regular
American girl who likes people
and who likes to be liked.
Upstairs making pictures, I
talked to her maid, Hazel, while
the star was primping a bit.
And when I say "bit" l mean it.
Hazel, how's Miss Russell to
work for?" I asked.
"Oh she's JUS gran. She's
easiest person I ever worked
for"
What, no tantrums?"

Neither does he have any authority 70
force employers to take on more en-

he does not hesitate to speak his mind
on the subject
Why exhortation IN the one case
and not IN the other? The answer
seems to be that attacks on economic
royalists were regarded as popular.
whereas an outspoken attitude on sit
down strikes was politically danger
GUS, in view Of the fact that the Com
nlfttee for Industrial Organization
was conducting such strikes and the
American Federation Of Labor was
opposed to them.
When the Committee for Industrial
Organization turned its attention to
the steel industry. and similar CAM
paign Of sit-down strikes threatened,
the Presidents silence continued. For
various reasons the steel nnanufactu-
rers decided 70 yield. but they fol-
lowed up their wage advances with
price increases. Thereupon the Presi-
dent promptly went into action. and a
broadside against price increases was

.creases likely or necessary do not
seem TO call for comment but the re-
salting price increases are cause for
exhortation. The explanation is that
price Increases are unpopular, and the
steel manufacturers fall within the
category OF economic royalists.
Recently the President has exhorted
Government employees not to specu-
late in stocks. and subsequently he adj
mifted that his warning was meant to
apply to the public also. Though there
is no law forbidding employees to use
their savings to buy stocks as a hedge
against imitation. the President does
not hesitate TO declare such action
against sound government policy"
This furnishes a good illustration Of
the Presidents conception Of personal
government. under which the conduct
Of the citizens is to be guided. not by
the laws OF the land. but by the Presi-
dents iniunctions.

representative group of fellow citi-
zens, and such consideration as its
collective judgment deems that
the traffic will bear.
In short, Key West is off the
shoals, things are being gotten in
to ship-shape order, the cook is
busy in the galley; and as gallant
a crew as ever battled against adj
verse winds and tides is getting
the staunch old craft tuned up to
show her heels to her sister craft,
to the accompaniment of a cheer
ing, and somewhat astonished
group who, dwelling on the main
land, have slight notion of the re-
Operative effects on the ozone
breathed by islanders.
One thing must be noted in the
story Of the rise of a chamber OF
commerce in Key West
It is here, due not to any inspi-
ration Of energy on the part Of a
promoter. nor to any clever scheme
of craftsmanship. It is here he
cause Key West wanted it, and
because Key West enjoys the
prsence Of a civic-minded group
Of men trained in the school of
Rotary.
Their quiet initiative and the
confidence which they command
among their fel'ow-citizens is the
reason why Key West links itself
with her sister Florida cities by
means of an active chamber OF
commerce.

On the fifteenth of March, last,
a careful canvass of the town de-

Junior and senior players on the
Pitt team for the past two years
have had the trip to the Pacific
Coast twice during the holiday
spirit time, when the chance OF
picking up some cash was in the
offing, and the players know,
especially, what it is like to jour
ney to California with two or
three iron men in their jeans and
two weeks to spend 1t.
Two years ago Pitt played q
regularly scheduled game with
Southern California in late Decem-
ber, and did not return to Pitts
burgh until after all the jobs had
been sewed up by the nonathletlc
students. Last year the Rose
Bowl bid killed all hope Of raising
a little cash as the Panthers set

workouts in an effort to redeem
the sorry showing Of former Pitt
elevens that journeyed to Rose
Bowl games in the past.

ably held to compromise with uni
versity athletic officials in order
to obtain remuneration that other
wise would be forthcoming from
holiday jobs that would be lost
through heavy grid practices.

meth Priestly, University of Cali

man who will announce the Golden

Greet silence today.
Reports swept across the coun-
try from Pittsburgh that the un-
defeated Pitt players had turned
down a bid, even before it was Of
fered. Thus the spotlight CEN
tered on Fordham and Alabama.
The latter is a natural for the
Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on
New Year, and Coast sportsmen
believed the Crimson Tide would
stay in home territory that day.
That was interpreted to mean

edly a number Of "feeler" bids

ably Alabama received such a bid
