MY SON, MY SON


 It didn't leak out at the time, but things got pretty hot for FL liott Roosevelt during the turbu- lent battle over Henry Wallace on the last night of the Chicago con- yention.
 Although his father had declared for Wallace as Vice. Presidential nominee, Elliott ragged about the convention floor roofing for Speak CT Bankhead In the course of his operations, Elliott told members of the Mississippi delegation that his father had personally informed him that while he favored Wallace, Bankhead and McNutt also were acceptable.
 Therefore the thing to do, FL liott declared, was to work out a compromise; and Bankhead was his choice.
 Coming from the second son of the President, the Mississippi dele gates naturally considered the in formation straight from the White House and spread the word. When it reached Administration floor leaders they rushed to Senator Jimmy Byrnes, who, from the ros- trum, was directing Wallace's fight Jimmy dashed for nearby phone and told the President what had happened.
 Roosevelt's reply was that he hadn't talked to Elliott in over 8 month. SO naturally could not have told him what he claimed. T am for Wallace and no one else" Roosevelt added. Further you have my authority to state that if he is not nominated, I won't run"
 After Byrnes transmitted this message to the Texas delegation Elliott piped down.
 NOTE-When Wallace, at am. immediately after his hard-won victory, telephoned the President and thanked him, Roosevelt advised that he immediately see Bankhead Farley, Jesse Jones and McNutt and thank them for their sports manship. The President personally telephoned McNutt and commended him as a gallant soldier who per- formed a great public service to- night"

Blondell are co-starred in the fun niest romance of the season, a swift, sparkling series of escapades which make even the redoubtable There's Always Woman n d Good Girls Go to Paris" this comedy teams previous co-starring ventures, seem like placid, unim- portant productions.
 A brilliant cast joins the stars in bringing this entertainment packed picture to the screen. Ruth Donnelly contributes an excellent comedy performance as Miss Blon- dell's girl friend, and Edward Bro- phy is equally delightful as con victed murderer whom The Amaz- ing MT. Williams is supposed to take to the State penitentiary and instead takes on a double date.
 The Amazing MT Williams is principally concerned with Douglas efforts to solve murder mysteries and Miss Blondells efforts to marry the guy. Not that he doesn't want to get married, you understand, it's simply that whenever she man. ages to steer him near an altar someone yells for the cops ano Douglas, you see, is a cop!
 Such a story provides the co. stars with many an opportunity fol triumphant work: they greet the challenge with performances which make the utmost of the many hil- arious situations. The Amazing MT. Williams" is splendid exam pie of story, stars, supporting cast and talented director working ir perfect unison.

 They almost had to talk their heads off to get him to pose after his recent confirmation as Secre- tary of War Finally he consented, with the reservation that there was to be no sound.
 But. MT. Secretary" the boys walled, "a newsreel is a flop with out sound.'
 "No sound" reiterated Stimson firmly, and there was no sound.
 Colonel Knox, 66, who has pub lished newspapers all hisz life, is a different story. He knows the problems the photographers face and goes out of his way to help them. After his confirmation he spent an hour patiently posing and talking for the reels. Also, he was keenly interested in the results.
 Running into one of the camera men at the White House several days later, the Secretary of the Navy inquired, How'd those pie lures turn out, Let me know when they come to town" ..4 ,f

Whatever the final cost of the nation
al defense program, American citizens
will have to pay it out of their wages,
salaries and other income for the next
five years or more. To do so, they will
have to set aside that much money which
they would have spent on other things.
1t means the sacrifice of luXurieS for
some, shortage of necessities for others.
President Roosevelt has said that no
millionaires are to be made out of this
program. Just about all American citi-
zens are in accord with that statement.
But there is another much larger group
which requires watching, one that we
might we'll call the sixth column" 1t
is the horde of local and national politi-
clans who will be in the front line waving
the flags and through selfish interest or
plain bungling may cause us more trou-
able than all our other internal enemies
combined. They will be protecting jobs
and building up political fences and
theories at the expense of the American
taxpayer and to the hindrance of the
defense program.
Locally they will propose all sorts of
expenditures which would seem to be in
line with the national defense program.
Many of these proposals will be nothing
more than a duplication of national de-
Tense plans, or eXcrescences upon them.
The best contribution that the AZ states
and all the other local governments could
make would be to let the Federal gov
eminent handle the defense program. 1t
certainly would be hindered rather than
helped if AZ governors begin drawing up
plans Of dubious value, the expense of
which would have to be added to the
taxes already levied for the national pro-
gram.
Perhaps the most sensible program yet
suggested for the local governments is
that of the New Jersey Taxpayers Asso-
citation. Last week that group asked for
a reduction of 1919 in state expenditures,
asserting that 1.-The nations plans for
extensive preparedness require stringent
economies in state and local govern
ments." Here is proposal which tax
payers as individuals and in groups
should advocate.
