HOLLYWOOD-Some of the
movie magicians have been hav-
ing unusual troubles lately. Out
at 20th-Fox all the kings horses
and men couldn't open a Jail to
release Randolph Scott and
Linda Darnell. And on the i'm
posing Nantucket Island set built
for Alexander Kordas new pic
ture, appropriately titled "Illu-
sions," the sky caught fire and
burned up some clouds.
That wasn't all that has hap
pened on the latter flicker. Di-
rector Julian Duvivier came out
of the house that has been built
on the rocky shore of an inlet,
slipped in the sno w, skidded
down the bank into the water
and landed so hard o. the con-
crete bottom that his right wrist
was broken. He now has to do
twice as much gesturing with
his left hand.
SKY UNDER CANVAS
Such acct d is, though,
haven't detracted from the final
grandeur of one of the most re-
markable indoor sets ever made
here-about. A complete cyclor-
anna of sky and sea incloses an
area about twice the size of an
ordinary sound stage and all
rooted by canvas. The w h o e
structure was nearly wrecked
by a sudden windstorm the 9TH
er day.
Inside, wind and wave ma
chimes made first-class storm
of their own. The cove, bounded
by rocky breakwater and the
rugged island shore, is large
enough for Merle Oberon and
Alan Marshall to sail around in a
24-foot yawl. The rocks were
cast in square sections, fitted to-
gether on scaffolding, painted,
and even equipped with moss

IN WASHINGTON

points iustifiobly to what hop
pens when you put on too much
speed, let contracts too fost
and without examination or in
spection. In coses of that kind,
where Army controct officers
have been told to shoot the
works and never mind the cost,
they get notionol disoroces
like Comp Blending built in q
swamp. Fort Meade built on
the wrong site to save q GOLF
course at q cost Of $40 million
too much, or Fort Leonard
Wood, which is one of the sor-
REST Jobs Of land eoueino in
public records. With those ex-
omples before you, II YOU we're
on army contract officer,
would you sign q $lOO million
order for q new munitions plant
with your eyes shut?
Similarly. no outfit in Wosh-
in9ton hos subjected itself to
criticism and internal rows
more than OPM. Donald Mel
son. head Of purchases and
William L. Bott, deputy direc-
tor Of production. hove been
two Of the most vociferous ex-
ponents of doing q reoI job on
defense forgetting normal
business for the duration.
Labor Ieoders have had to
admit their mobility to keep
rank and file unions in line on
defense jobs. Labor itself is
split right down the middle.
THERE CONES A TINE
So without opoIooizino for
the mistakes made, it is en-
tirely reasonable to soy thot all
this criticism is q healthy sign.

snaps at his poppy and fires
his manager every day. Maybe
we're in that process.
Navy claims it is ahead Of
schedule on all defense work.
As to the Arny's record in
contracting for its tremendous
expansion, g. per cent Of all
the money appropriated to it
hos been placed on contract
and the remainder is IN der
negotiation. For the year end
ing June 30. Congress hos
authorized oney for the
Army in on original and five
supplemental q ppro priotion
bills. On the original bill and
the first three supplemental
bills, totoIne $50 billions, 80
per cent Of the contracts have
been let. The fourth and fifth
supplemental bills have been,
posed less than seven weeks,
yet for all six bills, SO per cent
Of the air contracts have been
let, 90 per cent Of the ord
nance contracts have been let,
and 100 per cent Of the con-
trocts for new facilities have
been let. Thot's hardly what
you'd coll holding up the con-
trocts.

nluRYlNG THE INDUSTRIAL
RATCHET

Every organized worker, and every
nan who hos a responsible directive
position in industry ought to clip out
ard paste in his hat these words from
President RooseveIt's Unlimited No
tjonoI Emergency" speech:
"A nationwide machinery for
EoNeil;otion and mediation OF In
dustriol disputes hos been set Up.
Thet machinery must bs used
promptly-ond without stoppose
o. work. Collective borsoinins will
q b sstoined, but the American
psopls expect that impovtiol rec
Communications Of our government
services will b followed both by
eapitol and by lobor."
There is no disagreement about
urminu the nation. lsolotionists agree
that we must be armed to the teeth.
So do inteNentonists. Both agree thot
it must be done with utmost speed:
Unity on this: the job must be pushed
relentIessIy forward at increasing
speed. without interruption.
Unless this Job is done, organized
-lobor is finished. Privately owned in
dustry is finished. Both are in the some
boat in this emergency, and in thot
sorne boat are all the American people
sond the way Of life we have loved. The
pIoinest common sense soys: Don't
rock the bootw
Two things the American people
are in no mood to tolerate:
l.. Strikes to further political pol
icies formed obrood, and strikes called
for trivial reasons, or without complete
" exhoustino every effort to adjust
reasonable grievances and to align
wuaes Justly with changing living con-
ditions without making them leoder,
in q rising price spiral.
2. Any effort to use the enner-
Qency to smash unions, to block and
nuIlify genuine collective bargaining
or legitimate organizing effort
let US not deceive ourselves. We
one not going to achieve completely
strikeIess industrial situation devoid Of
all labor controversy. Britain hos not
achieved it, and there is good reason
to doubt thot Germany and Russia
have achieved complete industrial con-
cord. even though by force they ore
able to prohibit octuoI strikes Men
held to the job by force are not the best
or most productive workers.
s
But the number of strikes can be
cut below the danger point, for below
the two million man days lost through
them since Jon. !.
Lobor leaders, and every man with
dvoice in choosing those leaders, must
reolize that with the right to organize
GOES the duty to devote the power Of
thot orgonizotion to public cause
tf,ot may row mean life or death.
industrial leaders must reoIze that

Both will we ore certoin, rise to do
