XXI BY VIRGINIA VALE XXX

WHENEVER a crowd OF
w actors, producers, direc-
tors, and writer's get together
in Hollywood, the most exciting
arguments take place over
questions that can never really
be settled. Just the other night
in the Brown Derby restaurant
group got to discussing who is
the most talked-of man in pic
lures just now and the argu-
ments grew so vehement, an in
nocent bystander might sus-
pect that a riot was being
planned. Instead, it was just a
general tossing of verbal bou-
quets.
Several people think Robert Mont
gomery is the man OF the hour. He
recently popped up his somewhat
willing career by jumping from
roles of society playboys to that
of the maniac killer in Might
Must Fall" Other nominations for
the man OF the hour were David
Selznick. because he produced "A
Star Is Born" and Daryl Zannuck

entertainment.

Forty-Hour Week

The administration is definitely
considering the forty-hour week for
industry in the legislation being
planned to take the place OF MIRA
as soon as the Supreme court en-
largement battle has been decided.
The plan is not frozen. 1t will prob
ably be changed a great many
times before final submission to
congress. but there is such general
agreement on the forty-hour week
idea that this phase is almost GER
tain to remain.
There are several flies in the ONT
ment, however. Chief is the ques-
ton of constitutional power. Some
of the New Deal lawyers are by no
means certain that even If they
picked an entire new court of fif-
teen, instead of just six more JUS
tees as President Roosevelt de-
mands, or perhaps only four or two
more as congress may decree, they
could get approval Of the kind OF
legislation they desire.
IT would 60 much further than
the Wagner act, for example. 1t is
the purpose to apply it to all sorts
of industries and plants which are
definitely not within the scope Of the
Wagner act as approved by the SUI
preme court.
The New Dealers want to apply
the forty-hour week to all sorts of
plants, which by no stretch of the
|. imagination could be said to effect
interstate commerce. They want to
apply it to nearly everything ex-
cept farm labor. household serv-
ants, and perhaps few other small
exceptions.
Their Big Worry
So what is worrying the New
Dealers now is whether it would
not require constitutional amend
ment, after all, to effect what they
want. Wild horses could not drag
an admission of this from them at
the moment. To admit this public
~ would be equivalent to saying
that the Supreme court enlarge
ment, which is SO embarrassing to
so many otherwise loyal Democrat
ic senators and representatives, is
unnecessary-that the administra-
ton is putting them ION the spot"
needlessly.
But it is certain OF the fundamen-
tai soundness of the forty-hour week
idea. Despite the smiles over the
phrase, there is lot of support, in
actually, for the old democracy
theory. With production in the
country way up above most previ-
GUS levels, there is still plenty OF
evidence of millions of unemployed
men who actually want jobs.
President Roosevelt insisted ear
nestly to callers recently that the
government knew exactly how
many men and women who really
want work are applying for jobs.
The only fly in this ointment is that
he admits there may be a good
many men who have applied at q
number OF places, thus being count
ed a number Of times. Even here,
he said. desperate efforts are being
made to eliminate these "duplica
tons"
He said this in opposing an ex
pansive unemployment census, sc
frequently demanded. But the i'm
portant fact in this connection is
that the government knows that de
spite huge industrial production
there is plenty Of unemployment.
passing the jobs around seem:
to the New Dealers sure way o
/ fixing this, and the forty-hour week
applied to all industry, seems t.
them the logical way to pass thu
| jobs around.

Civilizations Predicament.

FEEL 1t my duty to call atten-
ton to the following warning, re-
Gently published:
1.-The earth is degenerating in
these latter days. bribery and
corruption abound. the children
no longer obey their parents. 1T
is evident that the end of the world
is approachingl"
However, it should be added that
this prediction is not, as might be
assumed from its familiar ring,
the utterance OF some inspired OBJ
server of the present moment. 1t
is a translation from an Assyrian
tablet, dated 1900 B. c.
So, if the fulfillment of the doleful
prophecy has been delayed for a.
1877 years it seems reasonable TO
assume that it may be some months
yet before civilization flies all to
pieces.

Speed Craxed Drivers.

WHY the hurry. Sonny Boy7

roaring through populous streets or
skidding on hairpin turns or whirl-
ing at sixty perilous miles an hour
around the kinked and snaky twists
of mountain roadaklke some de-
moniac bug racing Hong the spine
of a coiled RATHER.
II am one to say, you probably
have primed yourself for this sense
less speeding on that most danger
GUS of all mixed tipples-the fear
some combination of alcohol and
gasoline. Or perhaps, like the blind
mule of the folklore tale, you just
naturally don't care dern. One
thing is plain: Despite the high per-
centage of mortality your breed is
on the increase.
So, again, echoing the question
which the coroner must frequently
ask at the inquest, why the hurry,

1t can't be that anybody wants
you back at the place where you've

glad to see you at the place where
you're going.
