Recently Bette Davis and Mickey
Rooney were acclaimed king and
queen of movie land If you do not
agree to this choice, who would you
have chosen? Why?
Evelyn Morrill,: | agree with them
about having Bette Davis as movie
queen. Although she is not beau
tiful at all times, she certainly can
act. Mickey Rooney is swell, too,
but l. believe l. like Clark Gable
and Tyrone Power as well.
Marianne Strong: Bette Davis is
certainly queen of the screen, but,
although Mickey Rooney is very
popular in his own type, he can
hardly be classed as king. Paul
MUM, Henry Fonda, and Tyrone
Power are great actors who could
take Mickey's small part in any
picture, but could Mickey take
theirs?
Don Rogers: As far as / know,
Bette Davis is very good actress,
and I believe that she should be the
queen of the movies. But Mickey
Rooney, in my estimation, isn't as
good as some of the other actors.
He is swell in his type of movies and
think he would be king of that
section. But in serious parts / be-
lieve that there are many who could
do better, such as George Brent,
Clark Gable, or someone like them.
Daisy Hunter: / agree with the
fact that Bette Davis should be
queen of the movies, but / disagree
about Mickey Rooney. He's all
right in his place, but not in-some-
thing big. He's grand as a child
actor, but king of the movies? Not
in my estimation.

{. {. {. War TRAINING
Debated in Senate:
Relief Vote DELAYED
Few Objections Raised
To Plea for 50-MiIIion
Fund for Red Cross
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
While demands increased for a
continuous congressional session
during the European war crisis, an
argument over military training for
the Civilian Conservation Corps de-
layed final Senate action today on
the $l,073, ,584916 relief bill.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia started the dispute by pro-
posing voluntary elementary mil
itary training" for the 100000 boys,
in addition to training in nom
combatant service recommended by
the administration.
This drew opposition yesterday
from Democratic Leader Barkley and
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina. They argued that the
War Department did not want to
train the C. C. C. enrollees
for combat warfare, but sorely
needed trained cooks, photographers,
mechanics and other skilled workers.
Few objections developed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's request to add to
the measure a $5O,000,0OO fund to
supplement European relief ac-
tivities of the American Red Cross
Adams Cites Tradition.
Senator Adams, Democrat, of
Colorado, floor manager for the re-
lief bill, said that "a refugee fund
in some amount" would be approved,
but added:
previously the Red Cross has in
sisted on support from private con-
tributions without aid of the Federal
Government. Maybe they have
altered this tradition"
The President said the money
could be used for purchase and ex-
port of food materials now piling
up as Surpluses.
He also suggested that the fund
be provided lin somewhat elastic
form, because it is clear that at this
time it is impossible to forecast
either the exact needs or methods
of meeting them"
Numerous other defense provi-
sions inserted in the relief bill won
Senate approval without discussion.
