across and above the deck of the

shot down into that abyss at a

Spontaneously the three of us
watching broke into cheers of
Bravo" We applauded. We
were thrilled. The stodgy man
at the controls looked up for a
second, swung the arm over the
side OF the boat to pick UP an
other car, and shrugged his
shoulders.
We three strangers got a little
bit red in the face. But we
agreed that it had been a grand

AS I stood on the pier, the
Lurline's deep-throated horn let
out its half-mounful, half.warn-
ing sound. Gooseflesh crept up
my arms.
The pier side Of the liner
was crowded with passengers.
We bent our heads back and
looked up, up the side Of the
towering m Ster. Confetti
streamers by the thousands
flowed down from the decks,
those strands of colored paper
the last little touch to defeat
the span Of dark water that was
increasing inch by inch between
those hanging over the deck
rails and those Of us left be-

The deep-throated horn called
again. And again. The sound
of the ageless, depthless, relent-

by tugs from the opposite side,
silently left the pier.
Faces smiled to each other
across the dark water. Hands
waved. The confetti streamerS
broke. From the loud.speaker
on the pier came the strains Of
aloha" Farewell to thee,

We started to sing because we
didn't want to cry.

IT.

One of my first Hollywood
interviews was rushed, hec-
tic-and swell.
I heard that Joel McCrea
and Frances Dee were sailing
for Honolulu in five or six
hours. They were to stay a
month. That meant l had to
get them before they sailed.
So I decided to rush down
to the waterfront. Imagine
my surprise to find that the
Waterfront was only 80
miles away! But I rushed
anyway-to Wilmington, the
port of Los Angeles.
Tractors Intriguing
Little tractors were driven
pell nell down the pier with
passengers and friends flee
ing before them. Approach
ing a big pile of boxes each
tractor slowed up, a set of
large steel prongs carried on
the front of it was let down
to the und and then
showed under the freight.
The prongs were til en-
raised sufficiently so as not
to scrape on the ground, the
tractor wung expertly
around, and then, like a
mama kangaroo carrying her
child in the front, the trac-
tor would go peu nell down
the pier-once again pas
sengers and friends fleeing
before the grotesque demon.
And the tractor drivers, a
couple Of these tall, blonde
Californians, were having
the time Of their lives show
ing off for those of us who
had time and interest enough
to watch.
Still the McCreas hadn't
shown up. Perh APPS they
would pull a Constance Ben
nett or a Hepburn on me and
be too good to be photo
graphed or interviewed. So
[ set my camera up, left it
with the guard at the foot of
the gang plank so as to get
one pot-shot, any way.
Climbs to Top Deck
Two more hours to 60.
Probably time to see how in
the world they were getting
those autos aboard. So I
climbed four flights-decks
to the very top of the liner
and looked down into the
open hatch.
It was a sort of terrifying
depth to be hanging over. A
depth that went from B deck
way down into the bowels of
the ship.
A man on the deck at the
very brink of the hatch open
ing was working two hand
levers that operated a der
rick. Over the side of the
boat the arm dropped. As it
reached the pier, workers
there took the two mesh
sings of heavy rope, spread
them on the ground and then
ra n tn e automobile over
them. The derrick arm went
up a little. The nets were
pulled tight so that the front
wheels were Graded in one
sling, the back wheels in an
other. Then the man Just be-
low me pulled one of the
levers. The car shot up the
side Of the boat, careening
crafty.
I held my breath and shut
my eyes. Had it been my car,
I'd have died. But no awful
crash came. Had the car been
q fly. and had a spider spun
that web. it could not have been
more sohdly enmeshed.

GRAVEL FAMINE
HAMPERS MWAK

Too much sand in the pits, Great
ing shortage Of suitable gravel, is
delaying pouring of concrete in the
of Grand Coulee dam.
The MWAK company dismissed
several hundred concrete workers Sat-
urday after several 24-hour shut
downs in the last two weeks.
The national unemployment service
there wired to all other offices in the
state to cancel all orders for new
workers for Grand Coulee.
At the company offices, it was
chopped" the delay would not be ser
ious, but officials said the company
would "feel its way and might lay
off good many more later.''
The company has installed side
track device to eliminate surplus sand
which is raised by a giant electric
shovel in the gravel pit. The demand
for gravel has been greater than the
supply since record-breaking pouring
If concrete began.
