customers doubt that an actor
sometimes suffers for his art-suf-
ers indignities, anyway can
point to the recent experiences OF
Mr.. William Holden in picture
tersely but embracingly titled
Texas"
Until Holden won a respite by
shooting himself in a hand while
scrambling over fence, he had
been taking part in a cattle stam-
pede Of record duration This is
the climax of the movie. It seems
that Holden wants to get into u
frontier town to kill a man, but
that the latter's villainous pals are
in control. So the reSourceful
youngster stampedes a herd of
steers down the main drag and
from this galloping ambush he
emergeS to confront and plug the
chief Scoundrel
Such a project requires lot of
careful planning and execution,
since these animals are by no
means the plump, dehorned beeves
and dairy cows which are housed
around for the average western.
These are tough Mexican steers
and culls. at that-part Brahms
and maybe part goat. They have
no appreciation for the demands of
the cinema. even though Director
George Marshall gave them a five
month reprieve from the cannerp
and tannery.
CRAWLING HERO
A few feet from a reinforced
part of the fence, through which
the camera peered, they built two
long parallel rails about three feet
apart on waist-high posts. The
camera didn't see any of the pro-
tecting framework; it just caught
Holden crawling in the dust, while
the legs of the laundering herd
passed close on each side of him.
He did that for hours.
Then they rigged a slide arrange
ment on the rails, and to the slide
attached an imitation tail nf a
steer. When several Workmen haul
ed or rope, the dangling tail
moved along the narrow path
where Holden was crawling As il
passed him, he was supposed to
srab it and hang on, thus being
dragged along at the hypothetical
heels of an imaginary steer. Sucn
would be impossible
under actual conditions but it
ought to look real enough the
way they did it.
This sequence also took a long
lime for filming because after each
3hot about 200 cattle had TO be
lriyen around the corral and back
nto position for another run past
he camera. An S.P.CA. officer
tood by but found nothing OBJ
ectlonab bic. Holden took quite a
,eatIng and finally had to be hcaV-
ly bandaged on knees and elbows.
The actual stampede of the en-
ire herd Of sol steers through the
own had been postponed twice,
nd then was put off for several
1ore days when the actor was
'ounded by his own gun. 1t was

'Strep,' Diphtheria
Germs Closely Alike,
Scientists Learn
U. of Vermont Doctor
DiscIoses Results
Of Experiment
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff Writer.

DURHAM, N. c., June 26.-Two
of mans most dreaded invisible
foes are the tiny bugs" strepto-
coccus viridans and bacillus diph-
theriae. Both have killed millions
in their day Now that both are be-
ing conquered by science it appears
there is partnership between
them.
This was revealed from expert
ments reported to the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science by DR.. J. A. Ferguson
of the University of Vermont.
Streptococcus viridans is a mi
croscopic organism that looks like
a chain, DR.. Ferguson said. 1t poi
sons the blood stream. Until the
introduction CT sulfani!amide there
was little defense against it. Bacil-
luS diphtheriae attacks the throatS
of children Under the microscope
it looks so different from the other
that the two never would be iden-
titled. But the streptococcus, like
most bacteria, apparently produces
many mutants differing greatly
from the parent species. 1t has
been known for some time, DR..
Ferguson reported, that one of the
forms frequently taken by the
"strep" is that of the diphtheria
bacillus, but nobody has considered
this more than a matter of chance.
Some Forms Isolated.
The Vermont eXperimenter iso-
lated some of these changed forms
and made cultures with them. Then
he injected them into the blood
streams of rabbits which had been
infected with diphtheria and found
that the mutants preparation acted
very much like the antitoxins pre-
pared from the diphtheria organ
isms themselves.
This does not prove, DR.. Ferguson
stressed, that one organism is de-
rived from the other in nature, but
it does show that there is some
suspiciously close relationship be-
tween them.
From another report, the associa-
ton learned how science has come
to the aid of the law with a new
Sherlock Holmes technique. Nearly
80 years ago, DR. Leon A. Hausman
of the New Jersey College for
Women started making microscopic
studies of human and animal hair
Now, he told the association. he
can often determine from minute
details, whose head a strand of
hair came from. the treatment to
which it has been subjected in the
immediate past and the direction
of a blow on the head.
Called Often by Police.
He came to Durham after testi-
flying in a hit-and-run traffic death
in Rochester. N. Y. He said he is
being called more often TO give ex-
pert testimony as his strange spe-
cialty, developed entirely as a sci
entific study, become known to
police.
His chief reliance, he said, is in
the so-called 'fusi," or holes, inside
a strand of hair. Any hair, ex-
amined under a high-power micro
scope, will show these empty spaces
and very often. not always. their
pattern is so distinctive for an in
dividual that there can be no ques-
ton of an identification based on
them.

IT'S STILL WITH US

Unemployment is still with US, de-
spite the great numbers put to work
on defense production, the American
Federation of Labor reminds the
nation.
The A. F. of L. finds that 7,552,O00
still lack work. The WPA reports
that 10000 skilled workers on its
rolls have failed to get jobs. The Ma
tional Youth Administration says on
April there were 391,682 young
people listed as waiting for jobs on
the agency's projects.
Unemployment has not yet been
solved. 1t continues to confront the
nation, threat to democracy and a
reproach to our economic system.

FRIDAY, MAY %, 1941.
VERY LAME EXCUSE

National defense is being invoked
as an excuse for all sorts of proposals
these days, some good, some bad, some
Indifferent. Among the bad proposals
are the various schemes for relaxing
or suspending labor standards, includ-
ing the wage and hour law
Administrator Philip B. Fleming of
the Wage and Hour Division, U. S.
Department of Labor, pays his re-
spects in "Look" magazine to the
crowd that wants the wage and hour
law relaxed, using defense as an ex-
cuse for the proposal. Fleming does
a good job and in words that are well
worth quoting, shows that the excuse
is very lame one.
"Most of those who want the wage
and hour law relaxed are far more
interested in getting cheap labor than
they are in national Defense" says
Fleming. For the most part they are
people who don't want that law on the
books in wartime, in time, or
any time whatsoever.
II have received no more than half
a dozen complaints" continued Admin
istrator Fleming. But most of these,
he adds, are not coming from defense
industries.
There is said to be a shortage of
tool and die Makers" says Fleming.
"If employers cannot hire more of
these workers, perhaps the time might
come when the law should be relaxed
as far as they are concerned.
"But why" he asks, SHOULD it
be relaxed also for girls in hosiery
mills and candy factories? How
would that promote defense pro-
duction? Of more than 100000
persons entitled to the benefits of
this law, by far the greater num-
Der are employed in industries
which have nothing to do with
defense"
Administrator Fleming has asked a
pertinent question of the shouters for
relaxing the wage and hour law and
this paper predicts they are going to
have very tough time answering it.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

ization, the Union of Workers by
Hand and Brain, corresponding to the
German Labor Front
"The first discussion took place at
the beginning of February, with rep
resentatives of the bookbinders and
paper workers and with officials of the
leather and clothing workers. The
leather and clothing workers are now
amalgamated in the Union of Work
ers by Hand and Brain-Leather and
Clothing Section
"Other union organizations will fol-
low. The members were not asked, of
course. They are to be informed about
the details in the future"
Telling of Communist shenanigans
in Norway, the |. F. 7. U. says: 'The
part played by the Norwegian Com
munists during the German invasion
has only just become known. Before
that invasion, they could not shout too
vociferously about the lack of help
and support from Britain and France
for resistance.
"When hostilities began, they sud-
denly discovered that surrender with
out a fight was an extremely revolu-
tionary act. Once again, they played
the Nazis' game. They were such
close confederates to the Nazis that
they denounced to the military au-
thorities trade union officials as they
one by one resumed their work.
"They endeavored to insinuate them
selves into posts temporarily vacant
because of the Imprisonment of the
officials in question. Their hope was
to make these positions starting points
for the launching of Popular Front
movement.
"At the end of 1910, they received
hint from abroad to cease this
activity, and as obedient puppets OF
the Comintern they carried out this
order, too. 1t is worth mentioning
that about this time the Norwegian
Communists who had been imprisoned
were released by the Nazis and then
agents"

THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes nippantly, some
times recklessly.

Well informed persons in Washing
ton, where this column is written to-
day, believe shooting war will begin
soon for us.
How soon is "soon"? That is the
unknown quantity. That is x.
Maybe next week-maybe not for
two or three months. Maybe tonight,
after you have read these lines.
The American people do not seem
to have realized how steadily the road
has led toward war.
The haste to make war equipmel
was not phony. 1t was very real.
It grows more real and more press
ing each day.
To get an idea of the speed of drift
toward war, measure the recent pub
lie utterances of political leaders.
Six months ago they were fairly
far apart.
Now we get almost one day, all
pointing toward quick war.
1t will affect YOU, no matter who
or where you are.
You will do without new aluminium
utensils in your kitchen.
Manufacturers are bowling loudly
and in pain for materials.
We actually have priorities right
now.
A manufacturer cannot get certain
raw materials unless Uncle Sam,
through a government functionary,
says he may have them.
Two months from now you may not
be able to get repair work done on
your electric range because nickel al
10y for resistance coils is very scarce.
1t is being rationed and you have to
see Mr.. Priorities man with very
good story if you are to get any.
And this is just a little bit of a
beginning!
Of course this leads to further
conclusion, which is that as the days
roll on toward the great and crucial
test Of our strength there will be less
and less patience with those who get
in the way Of defense preparation.
Less and less. Much less.
We ought right now, if we read the
signs at all, stop talking about de-
fense preparation. We ought to talk
about war preparation, for that's
what it is.
If we talked in terms of war prep
aration we should have better way
of thinking to sound conclusions. We'd
get different idea of the strain we
must stand in these days and months
ahead.
We'd know little more clearly that
we can't monkey with the machinery.
We'd know that we can't do any peace
time fooling around.
We are going to have to start un-
derstanding that if an airplane is NOT

The only certain way l know of
avoiding strikes is through the nego-

such other matters as vacations,
grievance procedure and apprentice
ship training. William Green.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-Cliff Ber-
gere, movie stunt ace, knows all the
tricks except one-how to win the
500-mile race at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway.
Cliff has come close number of
times but he has never been able to
flash under the wire a winner. He
has finished in the money seven
times, annd came as close as third
place in 1899.
If physical condition alone made
a winner, Bergere would be almost
sure thing. Nobody in the game
trains more faithfully for the an
nual Decoration Day grind than Ber-
gere. He does road work and GYM
nastics constantly and if there's any
slack he takes it up in his daily
chores of overturning autos, crash
ing airplanes and diving of preci-
pices.
This year Bergere will try again
for that tantalizing first place in the
1900" Winning it is the one trick
above all others he'd like to ac-
complish.
