BY SHEILAH GRAHAM.
HOLLYWOOD

Joan Fontaine is getting a tre-
mendous giggle over her forthcom-

Cary Grant for R-K-O Radio. The
last time Joan worked with Cary at
R-K-O she was kicked around in
. number titled "Gunga Din" Now
this studio is paying $4,000 for
Joan, and bowling down before her,
too. OF course, Joan does not get
all that money. 1t goes to Boss
David Selznick, who then pays Joan
her regular stipend of $1,000 week
for seven weeks, leaving David with
the nice profit of $4,000. With Joan'S

she turned over her part to another

Clark Gables sick" shoulder is
the result of that tank scene in
"Comrade X" The tank he rode
\ was made of wood and very heavy.
For the close-ups of the interior,
the tank was mounted on turn
table and pushed up and down to
give the necessary motion. When 1t
was all over Co-Star Hedy Lamar
was black and blue, and Gable had
shoulder trouble. Carole went with
him to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
They plan to go on from there to
New York, and when some one
asked Carole just before they left
Hollywood, Aren't you afraid of
being mobbed in New York;" she
replied, II don't think they'll bother
about u.s." Oh, yeah?

these days is Judy Garland. The

COLORED DEFENDERS

The fears of some persons that col
ored men in the national defense will
be shunted to humiliating assign
ments, such as labor divisions, do not
appear justified by the circumstances
which make the present emergency
totally different from that of 1917.
During the World War, colored troops
in France were "bullied" and tossed
about and were generally victimized
by Dixie prejudice until the practical
French rescued them and placed them
into combat service. Little was known
at home of the humiliation until it
was too late to remedy the evil.
The troops to be called in the pres
ent crisis are to serve in the Western
Hemisphere. They will be under the
watchful eye of the press at all times.
Public opinion can be and will be
quickly mustered to smash any at
tempt to degrade any American be-
cause of race or color. Besides we do
not expect any such disagreeableness
will arise inasmuch as race prejudice
must necessarily subside because of
the deseire of all to cultivate the
good neighbor" policy with South
America. A great mistake was made
when the United States delegation to
the Lima Conference failed to include
a single colored member. The Latin
countries sensed the reason. The
good neighbor" policy cannot sur
vive in an atmosphere of color pre-

facturer, Charles W. Godefroy and
Mr.. Godefroy lives up to his preach
ments.
For years this establishment has
advocated that colored employees in
industry receive the same vacation
grants accorded to other workers. But
Mr.. Godefroy has done more than ad-
vocate this practice: he observes it.
This year, as in past years, the
GodefrOy Manufacturing Company
has its employees designate two weeks
as the company's vacation period"
During that period, all employees ST.
simultaneously take their vacations.
Product manufacture is sufficiently
geared during earlier months of the
year to provide sufficient supplies for
the vacation period.
And this year, as in past years, all
members of the company participated
in the general vacation period, with
full pay.
