walkers is afforded by the use
of the "push-button" signal.
Now, according to the AAA,
in addition to pushing button
to ring a bell or to turn on a
light, we will increasingly push
a button when we want a
traffic signal to change so that
we may walk across a street.
More and more "push-button"

many changes distract fan atten-
ton from the histrionics.
Old wounds heal quickly in Holly
wood. Five years ago, Paramount
discovered and developed a promis-
ing young actress named Frances
Farmer. An outspoken girl with
fixed convictions concerning the
way her career should be guided,
Miss Farmer and the studio couldn't
agree on anything. So, she quit
pictures, went East for a whirl at
the stage and released many a
diatribe against her former en-
ployers. Today Miss Farmer is back
on the same lot. signed to q term
contract. She has already refused
one assignment, but Paramount an
nounces its belief she will develop
into one OF its most important bets.
Universal plans to have a lot of
fun with Dorothy Lamour when
Abbott and Costello finish Rio
Rita" at M. G.. M. and plunge into
work on Pardon My Sarong' The
boys will poke fun at all jungle
movies and Dottie and her skinny
garments will be roasted to a neat
turn.
Entering the fifth week of their
stubborn impasse, the ice is still
thick and hard between Deanna
Durbin and Universal. Through her
agent, Miss Durbin forwarded an
offer to buy her contract from the
valley studio. The idea was met
with cold disdain.

the same old mess of things. The
two hot-blooded fellows fall in love,
of course, with the same girl: def
nitely not the one from the moor
lands who can quote Tennyson and
always fancied herself Elaine to the
godlike young mans Launcelot.
Their natural rivalry has to be
heightened to the point of madness
by this mishap. Dutifully the
authors see that it is with results
that will have to be guessed. with
out effort, but those over the age
of three.
Cast as the girl who gets her man,
and every other woman's man when
she wants him. Sweden's Miss
Hasso is not blessed with much of
a role for her debut on the American
stage. She is not an actress to be
stymied by that. however, and the
result of her skill and determina-
ton is to make rather more of her
luscious tart than the authors had
any right to expect.
Miss Wray's struggle with the lily
maid of Astolat, or Devon, is less
successful, not perhaps through any
fault of hers, but because such girls
these days resemble wishful think
ing more than actuality. Girls who
know their Tennyson, who have
even been to Tintagel, look pretty
absurd quoting it in the presence of
tense young men who have Just

BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff CorerspOndent)


 Washington, Oct. 27.-- (UP) = President Roosevelt apparently was moving to- ward a national defense crack-down on Labor Leader John L. Lewis today unless Lewis promptly orders re. sumed production in vital coal mines. The strike of 53,-. 900 miners was called for last Saturday midnight. Since normal mine operations cease over the weekend anyway the strike began today.
 MT. Roosevelt awaits Lewis reply to his second urgent request foI continued production in the mines owned by steel companies. In that request, made public at the White House last night, MT. Roosevelt tole Lewis, who is president of the United Mine Workers of America, (CrA), that there must be uninter. rupted production of coal for mak- ing steel"
 White House Secretary Stephen T. Early said at his regular l0:3o a. m. press conference today that no reply had been received from Lewis at that time. Other sourceG speculated, meantime, that MT Roosevelt might criticize Lewis lack 0 fcooperation in the total defense address which he makes to the Iaa. ton tonight.
 Lewis Gave In Before
 Labor circles recalled that In 1913 when Lewis union was faced with court injunction against Q INA strike, he decided to abide by the judges decision, saying that Eve cannot fight our government" That was before federal court rljunctions against strikes were outlawed by Congress.
 Although UNIV officials were with Lewis at his headquarters here, there was no indication when the labor leader would reply to MT. Roosevelt.
 He called on Lewis and other mine workers officials as loyal cit- izens" to avoid shutdown fin this crisis of our national life" and to continue working the mines pend. ing a final settlement of the dis. pute.
 "That is essential to the preserva. ton of our freedoms, yours ana mine; those freedoms upon which the very existence of the United Mine Workers of America depends, Mir. Roosevelt wrote.
 There will be tremendous pressure on MT. Roosevelt to deal drasticall, with Lewis if the strike is not quick. ly ended. If prolonged, 1t may ma. terially affect steel making within 10 days, and a steel failure wouk break the back of national rearnl. amert.
