ANOTHER HITLER PLEDGE

Germany is said to have pledged aid to Ru'
mania in return for greatly increased be-
troleum deliveries to the Reich. Rumania
would send back to the fields and factories
a million of her 1,4OO,O 900 men now under
arms.
If nothing else, it is a crafty scheme to re.
move any effective Rumanian defense.
It is to be hoped that Rumania, as we'll as
the rest of the world, knows how much con.
fidence to place in a HITLER pledge.

Nv Robin Coon.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. %. - Robert
Young gave u with, his final line
of dialogue for the movie "Florian'
and then surrendered himself into
custody of Frank Borzage, who lee
him to the studio barber.
With Director Borzage standing by
to see that the clippers and shears
did exactly what he, Borzage, want
ed them to do, Robert Young had q
haircut. After lunch, a nearly shorr
lamb, Robert Young was taken back
to the Borzage sound stage and al
once went to work-in Borzage's pro
duction of Phyllis Bottome's move
of modern Germany, The Morta
Storm"
It's a short, military haircut, an6
in that fact young Mr.. Young saw
somewhat flippant hope: "Maybt
I'll get a six-weeks' vacation afte1
this n to let my hair grow"
Young Mr.. Young is under con
tract. He is also much in demand.
When an actor has time between
pictures only for a haircut, and that
for a picture, he's a busy lad. Young
Mr.. Young, like most steadily work.
ed contract players, hasn't many va
cation prospects.
That is true of a number of other
lin demand" people - in a town
where the unemployed actors, if laid
end to end, would reach the bread
line. 1t is a sad and confusing sit.
uatlon in which one actor is over
worked and a score of actors are
over-idled, but it is always the way
of Hollywood and the world. Pro-
ducers go to market and they buy
tested, quality-proved goods.
You'd think, from the rush on
Paulette Goddard right now, that
the supply of p%ersonable young &C
~tresses was as low as a heavy's aims.
Miss Goddard is finishing 1.-THE Die

The Ghost Breakers" follow.up on
"The Cat and the Canary with Bob
Hope) and she is getting ready to
do North West Mounted" the Cecil
B. DeMille item. Miss Goddard is
so busy that she has to turn down
bids like Zanuck's recent offer OF
the lead in Public Debt No. l."
Hollywood's playing of the bull
market in personalities is, however,
an example of that consistency in
which the town is SO often charged
to be lacking. Let a player get or
the merry-go-round marked "In De
mand," and little short of an act OF
God, of personal ~indiscretion, or Of
personal ~cussedness can knock him
off.
The rush on certain personalities
carries through to the top ranks Of
stardom, as witness the present
amusing avalanche of future roles

jump at the idea.
The delegation, numbering ap'
proximately AZ, first asked to be al
lowed to file a series of protests
which were filed with the commits
sion in a bunch and held for con
sideration.
Then William B. Campbell, city
attorney, was called upon by w.
Louis Fisher, commissioner Of fl.
nance and mayor pro TEN, to ex.
plain and relate the efforts the city
board has made to get trucks off
Third street.
Campbell at some length told OF
the consideration the board has
given to seven proposed truck
routes, all of which would take traf.
fic off the Fashionable residential
section of Third street, and Of how
the board has sought conferences
with the state highway and public
works commission relative to the
establishment of a suitable truck
lane.
The chief engineer of the state

sion, he said, to study the situation
and this afternoon the city board
and the highway commission will
confer on the matter in Raleigh.
The city commissioners, he point.
ed out, feel the state highway and
public works commission should
construct the truck lane at it's cost
because of the enormous amounts
of gasoline which are transported
over it.
Figures Given
In the calendar year 1889, he said,
$4,000 loaded tank trucks and ap.
proXimately as many empty tank
trucks passed over the streets of
Wilmington. Each tank truck, he
said, carries an average Of 5000
gallons Of gasoline. In all, he said,
an average Of 335 to $50 tank trucks
pass over the streets of the city
each 24-hour period.
AS a matter of fact, he said.
more than 5000, 900 gassons of gas
oline, more than the amount on
which the state collects taxes,
passes through Wilmington each
year.
In 1889, he said, 424,ooo, 900 gal
Ions of gasoline passed through
Wilmington while the state of
North Carolina collected taxes on
but 419, O00, 900 gallons.
Such data have been prenared
for presentation to the state high
way and public works commission

ed two hundred Wenatchee Moor.
parks and received, instead, two
hundred sports evidently from We.
natchee Moorpark buds. For sever.
al years. he has been shipping this
fruit as Wenatchee Moorparks, and
thought himself particularly fortu-
nate that the fruit ripened 50 even
~, when the other apricots took
sometimes ten days to clear the
trees. But in 1899, he realized that
he had something there, and last
year, shipped eighteen tons of fruit
from one hundred trees, getting the
whole crop off in two days. This
year, two carloads of packed fruit
was shipped out by the Lamb Fruit
Company Of Yakima, the first car
going on June 18th and the second
and last, June 18th.
The fruit is partly a self thin
ner. BY this, we mean it takes at
least thirty percent less time to
thin fruit from these trees than it
does for the rest of the orchard, as
the tree takes care of getting rid of
most of its excess fruit. a
This block Of trees is alongside of
a block of regular Wenatchee Moor
parks. and while only the tin
branches of the Wenatchees held
fruit ready to ship, the Riverland
Moorpark trees grown under exact
ly the same conditions, were strip
ped in two pickings. The fruit is
firm and beautifully colored, has
delicious flavor and is a fine can
ner. It's texture makes it a splen-
did transcontinentai shipper, and
its earliness is shown by the fact
that last year it furnished one of
the three cars of apricots to 60 into
Canada before the extra dump duty
went into effect, and received the
highest price of any apricots ship
ped from the state last year. The
fruit gets its rich orange and red
coloring far in advance of the pick
ing stage and ripens so evenly that
the fruits have no green side. The
trees are steady bearers, carrying
a heavy crop each year, not alter
mating light year with a heavy
one as many varieties do. The
fruit is firm fleshed and the skin

The Washington Merry-Go-ROund
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON - The inside story of the CIO convention was the dramatic duel of wits be- tW-en the greatest snowman in organized labor and the greatest strategist.
 Each scored in keeping with his character. John L. Lewis the mop-haired consumate actor boomed triumphantly through all the oratorical skirmishes and press headlines. Sidney Hillman, the soft-spokcn master tactician won the battle for control.
 During the first three days, Lewis held all the trump cards plus the spotlight. Although he had promised to resign he was bent on retaining a firm grip on the CIO helm To this end he had packed the committees with left-wing henchmen and rigged the convention machinery so that he was boss of the show
 With the stage carefully set, Lewis set out to provoke the Hill man-led Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers the core of the opposition to bolt the con- vention. That would have left the numerical stronger opposl- ton helpless and barred the el- ection of Phil Murray who refus ed to take the CIO presidency unl- ss assured a free hand. With Murray out of the way the left Wingers could have either draft ed" Lewis or elected a complai- sant stooge.
 This was the precariouS situa- tion when Hillman rushed to At lantic City and took personal command of the battle. Thursday afternoon after a long night of conferring he took the platform. Hillman didn't make speech. He is not a stump spieler. He talked in the same quiet conver sational tones he uses when seat zd at his desk.
 There were no fireworks and no histronicS but there was a lot of unansWerable logic.

HILLMAN AND KNUDSEN

Several months after Hillman had been appointed to the De fense Commission his fellow member William Knudsen, form CT General Motors boss and an other one-time immigrant boy remarked admiringly Sidney, you know as much about busi- ness as I do.'
 Well I ought to know some thing about it Bill" was the quiet answer. My union owns and op- crates two banks and several low-cost housing projects for our and we collaborate very closely with factory owners in regulating the industry"
 Hillman also might have add ed that as head of this large or ganization he received a salary of $7,500 a year - less than a third of that paid Lewis and about one-twelfth of Knudsen's check.

atcd Clothing Workers into one of th= six most powerful unions in the country.
 Old Amalgamed associates are fond of the story of a Hillman compromise that 23 years ago wen the fedg ing union it's first major wage victory.
 The union only one year old had gone on strike for more pay and after a costly fight the em- ployers finally agrezd to arbi- trate. A neutral chairman was ap pointed and he opened the meet ing by bluntly asking the em- ployers. Well what's your offer2
 After a hurried huddle they announced h-sitantly "A one dol lar raise"
 Well take it' snapped Hill man with a suddennes that made  the employers blink. It also caus ed some of the union officials lat CT to question Hillman's judge ment. They said that if he had held out more might have been obtained.
 Yes we probably could have got more" Hiliman replied but what good would that have been if it made the shops move to an other town where We are not yet organized? These ships can't pay more than $l at present. When the bosses can afford more we'll make them give it.'
The Nome nugget., 1940-12-20
BANKER AND BUSINESS MAN

Hillman and his little union have gone a long way since then. They got lot more from the bosses and they also gave a lot back.
 The clothing industry is one of the most stable in the country the union has never broken an agreement; it has loaned money, once $200,000 to toWners to keep factories operating and has vol tsered reduced wages when hard times hit.
 Fifty-three years old, slender with his curly black hair untouch ed by gray, Hillman looks and dresses like a conservative busi- ness man. Nothing about him sug gests the tradional labor leader. His one passion is work.
 For many years he has fought employers to reduce the work week. The base week of the Am algamated is 35 hours, But a 12- hour day is a normal one for Hill man and it's a rare Sunday when he doesn't spend at least few hours at a desk. Some years ago in the midst of a bitter organiza- tion battle in Philadelphia he was ordered to a hospital for an operation. Four hours after he ha emerged from the ether he held a council-of-W at his bed side.
 Ordinarily calm and unruff1ed Hillman has two violent avsr- Sions-unauthorized strikes and Communism. He has fouht them relentlessly throughout his car ger with the doctrine that labor must be industry conscious.' H;llman believes in helping in dustry to operate efficiently and prosp rousIy so that labor can demand a greater share of the profits.
 We cannot ask from industry more than it can afford to give he says. That's Communistic practice-to disrupt an industry. When labor does that it defeats itself
