of unkind reports and opinions
have been directed against Orson
Wenes by his belitters in Holly
wood. but don't believe anything
you hear about his slapping an
eXpectant mother in the cause OF
movie realism. I've been watching
him take savage swipes in the dl-
rection OF a defiant Dorothy Com
!ngore, but I can assure you that
not once did he touch her. The
sound of the blow will be dubbed
in.
Admittedly this was quite a feat
of forebearance on the part OF Mr..
Welles. who himself was suffering
intense physical discomfort. H e
wore contact lenses against his
eveballs to make them look old
and bloodShot. The skin of his
face was drawn by rubber cement,
which had been baked on. and his
false scalp was held tight by an
acid -cellulose solution. And his
torso was padded with layers OF
sponge ruDDef.
But he didn't hit Miss Comm
gore, who, as Mrs. Richard Collins,
is expecting a baby in mid-Janu-
ary. The blond actress sat on a
couch with her back to the camera
and Historically denounced the
selfishness of the old man facing
her. Pretty soon he rose in rage
and slapped att her
This was one of the last shots of
Citizen Kane" and it was re-
vision of one Of the first scenes
filmed early last August. The pic
ture was pretty completely as
sembled and had been heartily ap-
proved at RKO before Welles made
his recent lecture tour. But with
time for a little extra polishing, he
asked Miss Comingore if she'd be
game to try a few added scenes.
She was.
THE UNION Is FILLED
The makeup man with the "Citi-
zen Kane company has been
Maurice Seiderman. who 20 years
ago began an apprenticeship with
the Moscow Art Theater, where his
father was a wig-maker. Later he
worked for Reinhardt, Maurice
Schwartz and many a Broadway
producer. and came to Hollywood
and RKO five years ago. An expert
n making plastic inlays to change
lacial contours, he showed some of
his greatest skill in The Hunch-
bach of Notre Dame and ABE
Lincoln in Illinois" He worked out
all the age changes which Welles
undergoes in Citizen Kane" and is
the only makeup man in Holly
wood who knows all about the use
Of contact lense for changing the
appearance of eyes.
And in spite of all that, Maury
Seiderman hasn't been able TO get

PUT IT OVER THE
REST OF THE WAY

Ell Centros Community Chest drive,
past the half way mark now, goes into
its final stage with residential commit
tees hard at work to complete the quota:
Through neighborhood canvasses and
rural solicitations, every person IN TINS
vicinity will have an opportunity to help
a group of relief giving, character build
ing agencies without parallel. No one
should pass up the opportunity.
Under other circumstances, Ell Cen
trans would be asked for far more, and
asked to give more times. Under the
Community Chest program, one dona-
tian provides for eight separate agen-
cies None of them overlaps any other.
Each one performs a separate service to
the community. Among them, they take
care of young people and old, disabled
persons and invalids, war sufferers and
disaster victims The pleas that could
be made in the name of each agency are
legion. The donations that could be ask
ed for each one are manifold.
Yet, through the Community Chest,
generous Ell CentranS have the opportu-
nifty to give once for all.
The more any individual can afford to
give. the more good he will do. But it is
important to remember that in the light
of final results the one dollar contribu-
ton is Just as important as the fifty
dollar contribution. For without the
one dollar contributions, and without
generous support by the great mass of
those who cannot afford to give more,
the Community Chest quota would never
be reached The bigger contributions
lay the groundwork but it is the smaller
donations which will put the drive over
the top.
When the Community Chest worker
comes to your door, remember the good
your donation will do-and help these
organizations which help so many people.

THREE CHEERS, Even
IF 1T HURTS

There has been no more welcome an
nouncement out of Washington for many
months than President Roosevelt's dec
laration Tuesday that all non-defense
public expenditures will be cut to the
bone in the new budget to provide more
funds for Americas .rearmament.
The President will deserve the thanks
of every citizen in this republic if he
enforces his decision.
But he will need more than thanks.
There will be no use cheering now if We
are going to squeal bloody murder the
minute it starts hurting. For hurt it will.
There's no use sitting back in great
complacency, approving the economies
in government, if we're going to adopt
the attitude that the other fellow should
be the one to bear the brunt of them. We
can't have any economy in government
without stepping on somebody's toes,
and we can't have much economy in gov
ernment without stepping on everybody's
toes.
So let's make up our minds to get our
toes stepped on, and keep quiet about it.
After all, if we don't suffer a little right
now in the interest of economy, we're
liable to wake up some day to the dis
covery that our toes are the only things
which have escaped. The rest of our
precious bodies will be buried under an
avalanche of national debt.
Armament spending is necessary to-
day Practically everyone is agreed on
that fact. But we can't spend money for
arms and, at the same time, keep on
spending the same money for thousand
other things Somewhere along the line
we've got to tighten up our belts, and
take it.
AS long as the President stands by his
economy pledge, we say "Three cheers
for him-even if it hurts
If he doesn't stand by it, it will hurt
more in the long run.

is flooded to depth of about three
feet and marooned on numerous
high platforms standing in the

Since the ships rigging is COM

DICTATORS' DILEMMA
IN MODERN EUROPE
Nevada State Journal)

tA>CNstUtt ptdlC oooilIttiI
The repulse of the Italians from Greece
is too dramatic not to give rise to great
deal of speculation, triumphant, apollo
getic and argunientative. Italians driven
off Greek soil!' "The Greeks take Korit
za!" Greeks rout foe in Pindus!" Some
few believe Greece to be saved-others
see this as the first drive only, which
will recur next time with Hitler'S help.
All give praise to the Greeks and point
to the tactics used by the Italians in
rough country where tanks and such I'M
plements of warfare are useless.
Many contend that the Italians heart
is not in the Greek war, that the soldiers
and the civilians see no reason to attack
Greece and that Mussolini made fatal
mistake. Part of their reason for this is
that the Italians fear and dislike Hitler;
they don't understand the Berlin Mos
cow part of the Axis after what went on
in Spain and they are afraid that Mus
solini is being made the scapegoat by
Hitler and that Italy may wind up en-
meshed in inSurmountable difficulties
with no one to turn to for aid or even
sympathy.

problems as Hitler, a dictator They must
have action to hold their power They
must win victories, they must be able
to point to those victories as their con-
tribution to their country's welfare and
when they run out of countries to fight
or worlds to conquer they run out of
power. If they are defeated their reign
is ended and that seems to be what is
happening to Hitler and Mussolini.
there is unrest in Italy How long that
unrest can be held in check is what is
worrying the dictators, worrying them
more than the exploits of the British
Royal Air Force. The victory of the
Greeks and Hitler's failure to invade
England are debating the dictators at
home and there is nothing as flat as
defeated dictator.

1t is the policy of the administration

Federal labor law will be awarded a con-

a dangerous absurdity. If violation OF

ton to the idea. But the labor laws
have produced vast amount of legal
controversy over their Interpretation and
a great number of border-line cases.
1t is a system which gives life or death

the nation itself, into the keeping of a
bureau notorious for its incompetency
and unfairness, and it is wholly unnec-

On the statute books OF the
United States there is certain
Voorhis act which requires registra-
ton with the secretary OF state
for every organization subject to
foreign control or which is engaged
in political activities, or civilian
military activities, or whose purpose
is to overthrow the government by
force, violence or threat. Negligence
so to register is punishable by
heavy fine and imprisonment.
Faced by this law, the Commun-
ist Party of America dissolved its
organizational affiliation with the
Communist International. But, at
the same time, the leaders de-
nQunced the Voorhis act as a
Fascist law and satisfied their old
leanings by reaffirming their un-
shakable adherence to the prole-
tartan internationism OF Marx, En-
gels, Lenin and Stain
That. of course, makes the whole
proceeding smack of Subterffuge.
The Communists evidently do not
fancy United States authorities
looking into their books, seeing
how their organization works and
whose money makes the mare go.
The finances of any party are
important. Money is always neces-
sary for the building up of a
framework around which the be-
levers and converts can gather.
It is needed for the spread of Ii
terature. 1t is the thing which
makes possible a party press. Small
parties need such press more than
the big political organizations.
The new situation suggests var
ious question. Is a real American
Communist Party, without Euro
pean ties and backing, possible in
the United States At present nu-
merically small can the party fin
ance it's own activities or will it
dry up for lack of funds? Or will
it still get money from abroad?
The later method is possible. The
Communist Party, as such, may
have cut itself loose from European
affiliations, but there are still ways
of beating the devil around the
stump. There is no American law
which prevents Comrade Redsky Of
Russia from sending gift of money
