Hollywood-Short takes: For a cowgirl number in "Josette," Joan Davis had to yank out a six-gun and fire several shots into the air presumably with blanks. But as she began firing, a body hurtled down out of the rafterS and thudded at her feet. It turned out to be a dummy, not an electrician. But Don Ameche, who planned the joke, is still staying out of Miss Davis range.
 An executive, who likes to take bows for his triumphs, hired man to take the blame for his mistakes. The other day the stooge stamped into the office and announced that he wouldn't take any responsibility for the poor quality of picture which he had previeWed the night before. Tt was so bad" he said, that the cement footprints and wax dummies walked out of the place."
 There's nothing sillier than the recent announcements or some SCu- dios that they won't make any more B pictures. Tripe by any other name is just as hard to digest The play, "Schoolhouse on the Lot" is a jeering satire on Hollywood, but it will be filmed by movie-mak- CTS who are anxious to prove that they can take joke-if it's profit able. :. The widely-publicized star vation of animals in a bankrupt To- cal ZOO was mama for the press agents. They rushed their clients to the scene and took pictures of them divvying bunch of carrots or a dimes worth of hamburger. At this writing, the animals are still starving.

IVA Constitutional Quarrel Between Federal Government, Utilities Now Can Be Fought Right
 Out in Open
Out in Open.
NEW HAVEN JoURNAL-C COURIER

The decision of a circuit court on the constitutionality of IVA should really be welcomed by the thought ful. The terms of the decision, sweeping into a claim that the ex- pertinent in public generation of electricity is lawful even if it i'm pairs and destroys private utilities leaves little doubtful. There will be an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, it is announced, but it would take a hardy observer to gamble heavily on 8 reversal in that tribunal. And even if the lower court were reserved, the utilities would hardly be in a position to count themselves safe from further punishment.
 For the constitutional, the judi cial, barrier to the New Deal has al- ways been slender one. At bottom these larger questions are economic and political; we may be sure that a people convinced it wants state socialism will have it, whatever the courts in the beginning say. Which is why we think the IVA decision is really to be welcomed. It gets the quarrel out into the open where it
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-26
Where To Now?

A Circuit Court has ruled the IVA constitutional. Appeal is expected from this decision by the complaining private utilities. The United States Supreme Court will, in all likelihood, be called upon to decide whether the lower courts ruling was right. The chances that the high court will upset the decision are slight, so slight that no legal authority gives the private electric light and power the fight against public ownership of utilities
 But there is another question that perplexes right now. One of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's complaints right now is that private utilities are not talk ing up enough slack in business It is his contention that when these utilities start expanding as they have in the past then we'll see a real building boom in the United States. He counts heavily on the utilities to lead the way back from reces- sion. But if they are to do this, what are they going to do about the governments intrusion in the field of private enter prise.
 After IVA there will be other authori- ties created around the nation. Projects which might conceivably be turned into one similar to that in the Tennessee River Valley are even now in construction. The flood control project in the Connecti- cut River Valley is another one in miniature. And in the Connecticut River Valley the federal government wants to exercise full and complete authority over the production of electric power, brought about by creation of storage reservoirs behind huge dams. If the private utilities are competitors of Uncle Sam and leaders in his back-to-normalcy building pro- gram at one and the same time, a new national policy is in order.

entire city, including the international concessions.
 That Britain has an enormous finan- cial and commercial stake in Shanghai is beyond question. But somehow, the Brit ish government in late years has seemed incapable of taking rigorous action in any International crisis. There was high talk of rigorous action when Mussolini seized Ethiopia, for instance. There was still more, when submarines sank British ships during the Spanish civil war. But when the dust cleared away, Britain was taking it and liking it. Is there any especial reason for thinking it will be any different in China?

Republican National Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, IT,, of Greenwich is in for busy year. Not only will there be state and congressional election this fall, but there will be a number of at tempts made to have the new national committeeman became better acquaint- ed with members of his party in Con- necticut. It was MT. Pryor who startled old-time republicans a week or so ago by reading State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald out of the party. To MT. Pryor Commissioner Macdonald is nothing more nor less than the appointee of democratic governor who retained him in office on two different occasions. But his startling attack on Mr. Macdonald has caused at least one COP. leader to explode. That was Theodore Bodenwein, New London Day publisher, New London County leader, and former Secretary of State. He has nothing but scorn for the national committeeman and expressed himself thusly in public print.
