out to Tommy Taggart's in French Lick, Ind. to
shoot pheasant with Palmer House Bill Ryan,
and later We will not go to Texas to massacre
wild turkeys with Col Anon Carter, the Hidalgo

Last year we only did not go to Tom Yawkey's
place in South Carolina with Ed Barrow, Of the
Yankees, and that was the most limited routing
we have laid out in years. Some years we have
not gone as far as Nova Scotia and into the
Canadian Rockies. Our friends said we were
slowing up. Our friends claim that we are the
greatest mind traveller in the country.
Eccentric or Plain Nuts?
WE regret to say that some of our friends seem

Nevertheless, because Actor
Henry Fonda plays a role inter
preted as that Of a loyalist lieu
tenant, and one officer looks
like Franco, Producer Wanger
has been accused of being every
thing from a parlor pink to q
flaming red.

the sunlight when Mr.. Carmody
of the Star popped this direct
question: What is your answer
to the charge that you are a
Communist"
Mr.. Wanger: I'd like to
straighten that out. I am an
American and grateful to be an
American, especially at this
time. / am not q Communist, or
a Fascist. I think it is simply
outrageous that humanitarian
message should be distorted by
prejudiced eyes into subtle

tions.
No. 1-Mr. Wanger, is 1t true
that some representative of the

published this particular story,
nobody would accuse me Of
being a Communist, Fascist or
Socialist. But as a film pro-
ducer am accused of being
everything under the sun. I hap
pen to be one member of a great
industry who doesn't think a
producer should be regarded as
a clown.
II like to make adult and
thoughtful pictures, but my first
purpose is entertainment.
"All the discomfort in Amer.
lea today is greater than the
happiness in Europe. Think that
over. If we can give the great
movie public entertainment, and
at the same time present a mes
sage that may help bring peace
and sanity to a troubled world.
it strikes me as better than
leaving them with the memory
of a lot of gags"
Further questions from Nelson
B. Bell of the Post, Betty Hynes
of the Herald and Katharine
Smith of the News, elaborate on
the idealistic purpose of Block
ade."
Well, it cost Mr.. Wagner
about $10O to prove that he is
not waving a flag for what is
called democratic Spain.
WEALTHY PRODUCER
Off the record, it is hard to
conceive Producer Wanger as
disciple of Stain. For ten years
he was general manager Of all

He is generally rated one of

four long years they've been
making recommendations with
out results.

Between the Democratic can

the citizens will take a chance
on paying the usual tariff for II
months of gas-wagon travel.
The only difference between
the Free States present Cover
nor and that California guy who
promised $50 every Thursday, is
as you know, $3.50. And the
way figure the difference is
that the Maryland voters have
already had their disappoint-
ment and the poor suckers in
the Sunshine State have it COM

Criticism directed against the
Democratic County Leader, VIM.
