In Radio Appeal
For Child Refugees
Katharine Hepburn and
Meredith Appear in
Broadcast Here

The tears of little children, "her-
itage of the poisons of intolerance"
symbolized the appeal broadcast
across the country last night to help
child refugees find new homes and
new lives in America.
More than $500 well-dressed
Washingtonians crowded into the
ballroom Of the Mayflower Hotel to
watch Katharine Hepburn and Bur-
CESS Meredith co-star in the broad
cast, sponsored by the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ in
America.
With background of music that
varied from the crashing discords
OF childish terror to the calm har-
monies of their hope, the broadcast
presented its plea-the admission
OF refugee children into America
in two skitS.
The first was set somewhere in the
North Sea, Immediately following a
minor tragedy. A United States
destroyer has run down skiff
bearing a small boy and his baby
sister.
Has to Have a Ship.
The youngster, interviewed by the
commandant, Burgess Meredith, can
think of only one thing. He wants
another ship. He has to have a
ship. Why? To get to America, of
course. His little story is typical.
His father had been taken away.
His mother had killed herself.
MY papa talked to me of world
where men think free and talk
free" explains the little wanderer,
where everybody has his own land,
not too much, and men are like
brothers."
The commandant, stony at first
with rules and regulations, finally
is moved
This is your boat" he tells the
bewildered little boy. It'll take YOU
to a place where you and your sister
will be safe We haven't forgotten
there that liberty is not a gift, but
a victory"
The scene of the second skit was
luxury liner returning from Eu-
rope. Katharine Hepburn, playing
spoiled debutante, is standing on
the deck thinking of her conversa-
ton with four little refugees bound
for America.
Conversation Repeated.
In a flashback, the conversation
is repeated. The audience sees again
the four children. each staring
straight ahead. waiting. They don't
play, they don't even smile-and
that irritates her.
why don't you laugh" she asks.
What manner of kids are you?
Don't you know how to laugh?"
One of the youngsters answers
slowly, when we are in America,
then we will laugh"
In their halting English, they ex-
plain why America is worth watt
ing for. In doing so, between them

for the United Textile Workers of
America. an A. F. of L. group.
MIR. Shiskin said it would be "ex-
tremely difficult" for his union to
collect the information since the
organization had been chartered
since enactment of the e-hour
law. If obtainable at all, he added,
it would be at later date.
Proud of Record.
Mr.. Abt said his union was
proud" of its record in organizing
textile workers, the number of
members, the number of contracts
negotiated and the number of Labor
Board elections won.
I'VE are particularly proud" he
said, "of our record since 1887 in
the South. For the first time in
history a real labor organization of
textile workers now exists"
He added he would be glad to
bring witnesses to show:
l. The unions total number of
members north and south of the
Mason-Dixon line.
2. The number of Labor Board
elections in which the T. w. U. A
had been designated as exclusive

counsel for the Textile Workers
Union of America, a c. I. o. union,
agreed in a hearing before Wage
Hour Administrator Elmer F.. An
drews today to furnish, with some
reservations, information about its
membership and contracts as re-
quested by cotton mills opposing
321s s-cent-an-hour wage minimum
for the industry.
Mr.. Abt said he would be willing
to produce witnesses who would give
all information except a breakdown
between dues-paying and non-dues-
paying union members, names of
mills with which the union has con-
tracts, and terms of contracts.
His offer was in reply to a request
made in Washington last week by
Tyre Taylor, counsel for opponents
of the wage minimum, for the num-
Der of union members in the North
ern and Southern mills with which
the union has contracts, and the
minimum wages specified in the
contracts.
Administrator Andrews said he
would delay until tomorrow a ruling
on Mr.. Taylor's request to subpoena
the unions to supply the informa-
ton.

Effective Speech.
Most effective of their little
speeches is by one OF the boys who
tells the American: What we
learn, it means that no matter what
is wrong in America, it can be fixed,
because when we grow up we are
free and equal and we can work
and help America"
Before the skits were presented,
Clarence Pickett of the American
Friends Service Committee urged
the ballroom audience to do what
ever you can to relieve the suffering
of little children"
The skits were written and di-
rected by Arch Oboler, one of the
top radio script writer's and the mu-
