REGULATION
OF U.S. unions
SAYS Government Should
Not Act Because Of Ex-
cesses by Minority

BOSTON, Jan. IA. (UP)-Ver-
bally slapping "some alleged
unions" President William Green
of the American Federation OF
Labor said yesterday that govern
ment should not seek to regulate
or dominate organized labor be-
cause of the sins and excuses OF
q small minority in labor.
Green did not name the "alleg-
ed unions" to which he attributed
the excuses of the past two
years, in his address to the Bos,
ton chamber Of commerce,
He blamed a "total disregard
of unit responsibility and demo-
cratic procedure" for the present
breach in labor ranks.
"The American Federation of
Labor cannot yield to minority
domination or minorit ycontorl,"
he said. "That would mean sur
render on it's part to chaos, dicta-
torship and autocracy. In
fighting for majority control and
for the principles of democracy,
the American Federation Of Labor
is fighting for the preservation of
the fundamental principle upon
which our free government rests"
Referring to the unnamed al
legged unions" Green said:
"They represent an attempt to
introduce into trade union prin-
ciples form Of social and eco
nomic philosophy which has never
been espoused, approved or sup
ported by the American Fedora
ton of Labor. 30.

NOMINATION MAY
BRING ON INQUIRY

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA. CUP
The inquiry by the senate pubic
lands committee into qualifications
of Hebert K. Burlew to be an as
sistant secretary of the intreior
may lead to an investigation OF
reported wire tapping and espion-
age in the department of the IN
terror, it was believed today. ;,
Although Chairman Alva B. Ad-
ans d., Colo.), emphasized that
the investigation would be con-
fined to Burlew's nomination,
other senators indicated privately
that it might develop into an IN
vestigation of all affairs OF the
department headed by Harold L.
Ickes.
What was expected to be a rou-
tine examination of Burlew's nom
nation by President Roosevelt,
unexpectedly turned into sensa-
tional inquiry yesterday with tes-
timony on overlapping, secret po-
lice activities in the department,
and an embezzlement of SS4 ,OOO
involving dummy" Civilian
Conservation Corps camp.
The extent to which the pubhc
hearings before the committee Will
go appeared to depend upon the
testimony of Louis R. CLAWS, for
mer chief investigator for the de-
partment. CLAWS activities have
been mentioned frequently in con-
nection with committee disclosures
regarding overlapping.
The committee planned to have
CLAWS testify today, but was I'M
able to locate him. 1t announced,
however, that it expected to lind
him today and order him to ap-
pear probably at the next hearing
date.

Evening star., 1938-09-04

IlCKEY ROONEY is to be maze star.
M Following the big success he scored
0V0 in Love Finds Andy Hardy it was
decided to give him star billing in future pic
lures. Thousands of letters have been received
at the studio asking that he be given that
honor Considered by many to be one of the
great actors of the screen, the seventeen
year r-old boy did not want the promotion.
Gee now I'll have to sign lot OF
autographs" was his complaint.
A Ascreen prodigy as a child. Mickey Rooney
is one of the few to bridge the gap of adoles-
cence. The years between were full of struggle
- blended with boyish hope and despair.
Mickey was born in Brooklyn. His parents
were partners in a comedy vaudeville act
called Yule and Carter. Named Joe Iule, Jr..
he was taken on tour with his mother and
father when eleven days old. He was actually
raised in a theater trunk. His mother warmed
his milk bottle over the same gas jet that
melted the mascara for her makeup. The
tray of trunk was used as cradle. He had
crossed the nation in this manner before he
was four months of age.
At twelve months he made his first appear
ance on the stage. Wrapped in pink sash to
represent the New Year, he emerged from
a hat box at the command of Father Time
in New Years Eve charity performance
given by strolling vaudevillians.
At two he crawled on the stage and inter-
rupted his parents act by sneezing. His
father in confusion, gave him harp to play
with. His attempts to make music were so
ludicrous that he stole the show" and from
then on was regular member of the act. He
had to have special work permit to appear
on the stage
He soon mimicked all the other acts on the
bill and made such progress as performer
that at four he had an independent engage
ment, his mother giving up her own career to
travel with him.
A singer and dancer at five, he popularized
the song pal of My Cradle Days" A favor
te with the other players, he began to disclose
the jokes and gags of acts that followed him.
As result he was not allowed to mingle with
the older performers, but was held prisoner
in the dressing room until he learned discretion.
During this period his mother taught him
to read and write. At six he reached Los
Angeles, and there joined Will Morrissey's
Revue Becoming we'll known with the act, he
remained six years.
BY this time the producer, Larry Darmour,
had purchased the movie rights of the Mickey

give me the chance"
Mrs. Yule smiled at her sons confidence
What will you call YOURSELF" she asked
Something to 60 with Mickey" he said.
"Looney his mother teased.
mo - Rooney" was the quick answer
Still child, yet with his third name he
faced the uncertain future. They remained on
the road several months. There was seldom
much money between them. and they we're
often on the edge of hunger. One dismal day
in Sioux City, the boy had an idea.
Mother" he suggested, lets flip quar-
ter I'll take heads and you tails - if it's
heads we go back to Hollywood - tails. we
stay on the road"
She at first demurred.
You're such good sport. mother - why
don't you take Chance?"
So she decided to humor him.
Mickey tipped the coin. His mother lost.
It's too bad, mother" her son said, but
you can't always be lucky. Just to show you
I'm okay III give you another chance
Being cautious she picked heads.

They returned to Hollywood. He 'bucked
the extra list and found that boys were
seldom engaged as extras.
In several months he worked as many days
At last the role of a normal boy came up. A
step beyond the extra ranks. Mickey was un-
firing in pursuit of the part All screen tests
pointed to his selection - but the final choice
Lo
boy who had hardly known boyhood became
more determined.
When in desperation his mother again sug-
gested vaudeville, he said to her, There's no
more vaudeville, mother - we've just got to
stay in Hollywood Besides, I've got an idea
He did not tell her what it was Instead he
called on Clark Gable.
That gentleman, always easy to approach.

there's a good boy part in Manhattan
Melodrama, and want to play it. I've been
actin since was baby - and I'll eat the
part up" There was no self pity in his recital.
Clark liked his natural boy attitude. Sens
ing there might be financial difficulties. Gable
asked delicately if he might help.
mo. sir. Mr. Gable" the boy responded
proudly. we're okay its just that things
keep slippin' away You know - you're about
to get your hands on 'em, and they're gone'
Gable knew.
At Cables suggestion Mickey was given
test 1t was enough. He was selected for the
role and sure enough, he "ate the part up
Result: He was given long-term contract.
He has since played in many films. Among
them are midsummer Nights Dream" in
which his portrayal of Puck was so outstand-
ing, in an all-star cast, that many film critics
insisted he stole the picture"
Again. in Captains Courageous" he made
his role outstanding. As in Puck. he was no
longer tough boy" but an actor with
assurance and poise.
Each succeeding film brings greater evi-
dence of development.
In going through her sons boyish posses
sions his mother recently discovered two
quarters of rare design. One had head"
on each side. The other, if tossed. would show
tails" no matter how it landed. Little won
der that Mickey had won when he persuaded
her to take chance"
She looked at them and smiled.
