HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 3.-Behind
the screen: With romance news
wearing pretty thir, the press
agents now report their clients
heart troubles. One announces:
Mary Healy and Peter Lind Hayes
were to have eloped during the
weekend, but quarreled instead"
The colony's prize elopement-
tiffers, Incidentally, are a studio
executive and q minor actress. A
charter pilot tells me how he flew
them to Las Vegas about a year
ago and that they quarreled en-
route and didn't even get out of
the plane. A couple of weeks later
they hired him again. This time
they got to arguing about which
was to blame for the first dis
agreement, and the gal was SO
mad she sat up with the pilot on
the way back.
Two months later, amid gay
quips from their friends, they took
off and got to Las Vegas without
mishap and were quickly married.
The flyer says he met the actress
the other day and she asked if he
sold communication tickets. Seems
she's going back to Nevada for a
divorce.
Albert NORM, locally as famous
at ribbing as Vince Barnett, was
lionized at a party at Cary Grants
house, where he was introduced as
a celebrated French director. After
squirting at Katherine Hepburn
half the evening, he announced
that she would photograph as well
as Carlo. but that she couldn't act.
At that. Miss Hepburn not only
acted, but reacted.
LIMITED SHOWING
All American pictures now are
excluded from Germany and NaZi-
occupied territory. and Italy is pre-
pairing a similar edict. So Europe
is in for an entertainment famine

There is no longer any valid
reason for delay-the building of the
overland highway to Alaska should
be started at oncel
For years this project has lang
uished. There were Canadian fears
that United States influence might
be too heavy along such a highway
that it meant some sacrifice of
sovereignty There were American
fears that It meant dumping money
into a project which would prin-
eipally benefit Canada.
Neither fear means anything to-
day Canada and tire United States
have submerged al last lingering

would cost only around sif.000.0i0.

quired for tie zame amount. There

So They Say

Total defense of our shores. our
homes. our institutions. cannot be
complete until all Americans will
ing and able TO work have a job
and a decent standard of living.
President Roosevelt to the Am
erican Security conference.

SETTLEMENT
BLEW UP

Various things were tried. Boeing
agreed to accept all the unions
wage demands if the total increas-
ed cost didn't come to more than
81 900, ,000-only TO find, on an audi
tors check-up, that it would come
to 100000. The Labor Depart
ment's conciliators did what they
could. Sidney Hillman, labor's man
on the Defense Commission, did
what he could
In the end, a settlement was
reached-via misunderstanding.
Hillman induced both sides to ar
bitrate the dispute. After the set
tlement was announced. it devel-
oped that the union thought the
arbitration was to include every
thing but the 62la cent minimum
company thought that the mini
which was to be accepted; the
mum was to be among the things
arbitrated. The settlement immed-
lately blew up, with the whole job
to be done over. AT this writing
the row is still on.
HILLMAN'S RECORD
AT STAKE
1t is nearly vital to the admins
tration that a strike be prevented.
For one thing, strike which stop
ped work in major airplane fac
tory at this particular moment
would land in the middle of the
presidential campaign with a re-
sounding crash. For another, good
part of Hillmans future usefulness
in his present post depends on his
ability to get the row unscrambled
without leaving labor feeling too
sore.
Under the surface, there have
been a number of complaints by
labor about Hillman's record to
date on the Defense Commission.
Burden of them is chiefly that he
has been more anxious to help in
dustry than to preserve labor's
gains and defend its rights. So far,
the complaints aren't especially
serious.
