Panama H aftie''
 Is Big Hit
Three Old Timers Knock Broadway for Goal
 Comedy Is Winner
By GEORGE TUCKER

ny OEOR0C Il OSNEh
 NEW YORK, Nov 28.-Rags Rag land Pat Harrington and Frank flyers have been around a long time, and they know all about Broadway, but it wasn't until Panama Hattie" came along that the big stem sat up and began 1 to take notice of them Being comedians, this is easily explained. Broadway under any circumstances is a tough nut to crack, but comedians have more difficult time than others. Fewer comedians get the chance to test their comic powers than actors of any other classification. Just why, am unable to explain. But 1t is true.
 If you glance back through the records of the last ten years you will find no more than three new arrivals whose antics have pleased the public to any considerable ex- tSilt. liicJ WCit l1uiiiiy lAdsSs FNso- bot & Costello, and Phil Silvers. Now Rags and his cronies edge into the picture.
 In Panama Hattie" they are three dumb but energetic gobs thinking only in. terms of danes" :" They fear only the penalties that await mishehaying sailors. They are, in the light of their new suc- cess, the happiest triumvirate of zanies in New York.
 Rags himself is graduate of the old burlesque seminaries, where he has clowned through II years. Once before in an inferior production known as Who's Who" he ao- peared briefly. Buddy DeSylv@ re- membered this bit and summoned him by telegraph from Chicago for the new role. It was happy hunch.
 Pat and Frank move into the legitimate big time from the small, crowded floors of the Man haitian night clubs. Their work has something of the recklessness of The Front Page Pat did have one other brief appearance on Broadway--he was with Helen Hayes in Ladies and Gentlemen" last winter But it was only a bit, and the play was not dramatic success.

Echoes from the political cam
 paign; Almost every day subway officials complained of Willkie and Roosevelt buttons turning up in the cash buckets. The continued use of these buttons is traced to the publicity they received in pre- election news reports.

These three move through "Paa- anna Hattie" with the unpredictable impulse of a fever chart. Their comedy is sometimes low but 1t is always hilarious. It makes people laugh long and loud, in sudden and frequent bursts. And that, I think, is all the justification they need.
 In a recent screed we described Ginny Simms as wearing candy stick" dress. That's how it seemed to us. Now comes this correction: She wore a new model electric blue gown with velvet top, fitted with short puff sleeves, the skirt divided at the waist, revealing a bare midriff. The skirt is very full and she wore a layer of petticoat.', one ruffled rose taffeta and the other ruffled organdy."
 In any case, she sure looked pretty.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER Congo Hunters Sacrifice Chicken

Both men and women in the
BelgianCongo have secret societies.
They gather in certain places, the
men In one spot, the women in
another. The men seem to have
more of these clubs than the women
In one of the secret clubs for men,
each member must carry a crooked
stick. This is supposed to give him
special power.
Congo folk tell of gods or demons,
and offer sacrifice to them. Some
times they make images of these
beings, and pray to them as to idols.
In village of the Bushongo tribe,
an elephant was killed one day. This
meant that something had to be
offered as gift to the hunting idol.
The idol was made chiefly of
wood, but there was grass on It's
head and it was partly covered with
cloth. The grass was meant to show
hair.
The idol was placed in the only
street Of the village, and a large
crowd gathered around it. In the
crowd were several drummers, and
they pounded their log drums with
might and main.
To the music of the drums, a
witch doctor danced in front Of

chicken was killed with knife, and

The chicken was supposed to pay
the hunting god for the success Of
the hunters in staying an elephant.
Such customs have been going on
for hundreds of years. Christian
missionaries have worked long and
hard to change the beliefs Of the
natives, and have met success in
some places, but most Of Africa's
people have kept their old religion.

The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-07-04

We hate to keep on the subject of the ed-
tor of the Sunday Times. but we believe that
steady exposure of the gentleman will have an
uplifting influence in this community.
Remember his editorial about the Chryser
workers during their fight for American prn-
ciples of collective bargaining2
Well we just wish to report that the Times
news columns carried no report of the fact
that the Michigan courts have ruled that the
loeked-out Chrysler workers are entitled to an
approximate 81 .000000.00 in state unem-
ployment benefits thereby rejecting the Chrys-
Ter Corporation appeal
The editor of the Sunday Times took a
strange interest in editorally exaggerating the
losses of the Chrysler workers during their
lockout and strike.
Wonder why the guy is so disinterested now
that the record shows he was writing through

sources of the management starved the work.
ers into submission.
1t is discourasing to realize that the Canadi-
an Celanese Ltd is unwilling to accept the
principles of collective bargaining. II should
be a stern lesson to the workers at Ameelle
Of the real nature of their employers. Local
1874 is not recognized because the manage
ment believes in collective bargaining, but only
because they have been forced to it.
The Company used the same tactics against
the Canadian workers as were used against
Amcelle workers when they first organized.
The old tripe that all the workers are not in

protection and shouting charges Of violence

We have had many occasions to draw public
notice to the contemptuous treatment which
the Cumberland News extends to the organ
lied labor movement Of this community. Rub
Der workers. celanese workers and miners un-
ions have all had to enter protest at the glazing
ill-treatment extended to them by the paper
and its staff.
Last week the Cumberland News went so
far as to publish libellous attack on Sidney
Hillman. president of the Amalgamatcd Cloth
ing Workers of America and member of the
National Defense Advisory Council. The at
tack was contained in a letter signed by one
Malcolm Hale Of Cumberland. Our news
columns report that this person seems non
existent They also report that Mr. Dundon' S
letter of protest censored.
It would seem to reasonable people tina, the
letter which should have been censored was
the one from the alleged Malcolm Hale and
not the protest of James Dundon.
Let us say very plainly that we condemn
this kind of conduct from the Cumberland
News. 1t should be we'll established around
these parts that labor-baiting and libelling Of
its leaders is not going to be tolerated.
May we also say that it now seems up to
the editor of the Cumberland News to explain
his reprehensible conduct

Defense and Jobs

The idea that the defense program will put
the unemployed back to work and restore pros
perity is dangerous illusion.
1t is an illusion. because government econ
omsts figure recent increases in defense funds
will provide at most between 100000 and
100000 additional jobs in $40. as the ClO
Economic Outlook" points out. And there
are more than million unemployed.
1t is an illusion. because even the most OPP
tirnistc economists do not believe spending on
ornaments could result in more than two mil
lion more jobs in the next six months. And
that would still leave more than nine million
jobless.
1t is dangerous illusion, because politicians
are already trying to dodge domestic problems
by dangling this false hope - because the at.
tempt to solve unemployment along this route
leads to war involvement - and because the
nations internal security and defense is en-
dangered so long as no real remedy is pro-
vided.
The Clio continues to call for at least three
million jobs on WPA. for expanded public
works. and for the working out under govern
ment auspices Of a practical program to put
the country to work.

Smith Bill Sabotage

A vote for the Smith bill to amend the Wag-
ner labor act is a vote for the disruption and
sabotage Of the nations most important de-
tries" says the general executive board of the
United Electrical. Radio and Machine Workers.
This Clio industrial union has been over
whelmingly chosen by the workers in electrical
and machine manufacturing. who in repeated
elections have rejected the craft disruption as
ISOLATED with the AFL. 1t has 375 contracts
covering more than 100000 employees. and
has solidly established industrial peace and
harmonious relations in the industry.
But now. the board points out. some AFL
craft leaders are asking Congress to put them
into a position where small group stationed at
some strategic point in the production process
can. for one purpose or another. cripple an en-
tire plant and halt the work of thousands of
workers.
On the day when the jurisdictional disrup-
ton and racketeering characteristic of such
craft-organized and economically sick indus
tries as the building trades are introduced by
Congressional warrant into the ass-produc-
ton industries. on such day are the defense
industries of the nation placed in serious and
intolerable danger"
The unions board. therefore, concludes that
"a vote for the so-called Smith-Green amend
mems 10 the Ma;i"na, ! aboT Relations hc. !:

sabotage that will most rapidly cripple those
