by John L. Lewis. This strike has
existed for % days, and during that
% days coal production to the
amount of nearly $4,000, 900 tons has
been lost All coal reserves are
nearly exhausted and all industry
faces a shutdown.
Miss Perkins, the Secretary of La
Dor, did not certify this strike TO
the Mediation Board until % days
after the strike began. and during
this period bitterness and disagree
ment rose which made the task of
the Mediation Board doubly difficult
so that no progress in settlement OF
the strike has been made.
Is John L. Lewis bigger than the
Secretary of Labor? He may be, but
he is not bigger than the Govern
ment of the United States in this
hour of national peril. Before this
emergency is over I predict that the
American people will not tolerate
any man or group of men, whether
it be a powerful labor leader or
powerful industrial magnate, to
stand as an obstacle to the essential
work of our national preparedness.
Unless these obstacles to our pre-
paredness program are removed by
those in authority, in some way,
somehow, the American people will
do what is imperative under our
democratic form of government to
clear the path for such quick and
tect our country in this hour of
national peril.
Strike Compromises AssaiIed.
For weeks and months our Gov
ernment has compromised with the
strike situation in defense industries.
with the result that the menace to
national security continues and
grows. A National Mediation Board
is appointed with no power to act
or even to investigate until Miss
Perkins gives permission, and then
it has no power to enforce its own
decisions. Miss Perkins. as Secre-
tary OF Labor, has shown such in
eptness and inefficiency as to add
greatly to the general confusion. It
Is time for stern and firm action.
and for some one to speak in all the
majesty of the Government of the
United States of America in this
hour of great national crisis. 1t is
as futile as it is absurd to continue
to talk about giving greater and
quicker aid to Great Britain unless
we are willing to do the things to
produce quickly the military equip
ment Britain so urgently needs.
The one man who can speak for
the American people is Franklin D.
Roosevelt. our President. All he
would have to say is that strikes in
defense industries must stop at once;
that We cannot longer tolerate any

Then there are the socialites whose names were always appear ing in the society columns of Amer ican, British and French news papers whether they wished it or not. They were the people who could be seen, according to the sea- son, in London, Paris, on the Rivi- era or at St. Moritz. Among them are many former Americans who lived aboard for many years.
 Fortune mentions a number of conspicuous names: Lady Mendl, formerly Elsie de Wolfe, wife of the press attache at the British en- bassy in Paris; the former Ann Gould, now the Duchess of Talley- rand, who has forsaken her famous pink marble palace in Paris; the former Mrs. Clare van Neck, now the Duchess of LeinSter; Mrs. Hat- "ison Williams. long noted as one of the best-dressed women in Eur ope; the Marquise de Cuevas, granddaughter of the late John D, Rockefeller, Sr.; Madame Dupuy, American widow, whose chief for tune was the formerly rich news paper of Paris, Petit Parisien"; Lady Ribblesdale, first wife of the late John Jacob Astor; and, of course, the Countess Haugwitz- Reventlow, better known as Bar hara Hutton of the 5-and-10-cent Woolworths

STATE

By far one of the most colorful and exciting pictures ever to be made was Irnreeled at Warner Bros. State theater where Alexander Korda's new aI-technicolor production, "The Thief of Bagdad" opened its en- gagement.
 The picture is truly masterpiece. Its eye-filling wonders, thrilling plot, breath-taking magic and the overwhelming beauty of its color photography make it the outstand- ing motion picture spectacle of the year.
 A cast of thousands, headed by Sabu, of Elephant Boy" and Drums" June Duprez, last seen in Four Feathers" John Justin and Conrad Veidt are presented in. this new film with all the magnificence of Arabian Nights entertainment. Against the colorful backgrounds the gripping tale of ancient Bag dad unfolds. The story concerns the romance between the young Prince of Bagdad and the lovely Princess of Bastra and obstacles and fantas- tic adventures that befall them be- fore he wins her The Magician Jaffar, willy Grand Vizier of Bagdad. desires the Princess for himself and pits his evil powers against the Prince and his chance-made con- panion Sabu, the little thief of Bagdad. This conflict results in fast-moving situations which. speed the film to it's ending.
 Even more enthralling are the miracles in the picture: The Fly ing Horse, the dancing mechanical dolls performed by a full Corps de Ballet, the liberation of miniature Djinni from bottle and his en- largement to monster 200 feet high, the Magic Carpet, the six armed dancing girl and the powers of darkness yielded by the magician Jaffar.
 All of these combined with the smashing climax comprise 8 mem- orable motion picture that will de- light young and old and be remem- bered with pleasure for years to come.
 The second hit of the program is an hilarious mystery drama Meet the Wildcat" costarring Margaret Lindsay and Ralph Ballamy with Allen Jenkins, Jerome Owen, and a host of other favorites.

 COSTELLO ONCE
 A STUNT MAN
 Their first picture, made . few months ago, was "One Night in the Tropics" Except for their sequences. 1t was terrible. The comedians watched the first four reels, slu1k out and grabbed g taxi for the air- port. In New York their plane was met by studio representative with orders for them to hop back to Hol- lywood to begin a new picture and sign 8 sevep-year contract.
 About 15 years ago, Costello came to Hollywood to be an actor. 1n- stead, he became 8 stunt man, worked in 35 silent pictures, mostly doubled for actresses in dangerous shots such as jumping out of window for Dolores Del Rio in "The Trail of '98". He was short and slim Fin those days; now he looks a. lot like New York's Mayor La- Guardia.
 Costello gained quite an off-stage reputation as funnyman, but just as he won the promise of an acting job, the talkies arrived and he was told his voice was unfit for the new medium. He quit and went back east to take the place of a young man named Joe Penner, who was graduating from burlesque.

Of course Gone with the Wind" is being held thousands and thousands of our patrons just won't let it go. The Loew Pon theater has been swamped with calls clam bring for an extended engagement of this outstanding screen spectacle Thousands have been unable to gain admittance to the theater over the weekend, so large have been the audiences, so ill response to overwhelming popular demand, Manager Ed Fitzpatrick announces an extended three days for the en- gagement of Gone With the Wind" which means that the film will end here on Friday evening instead of tonight as previously announced.
 Gone With The Wind" is being shown here in its original full length version-nothing has been cut but the prices, and those just about in half. Another important item-the usual continuous per- formance policy prevails during this engagement, which means that you can come anytime between 11:OO a. m. and 800 p, m. and see com plete feature.
 Gone With The Wind" is un- doubtedly the most faithful filmiza- ton of a novel in the history of Hollywood. It is Margaret Mitchell's great story of the Old South with out deviation and practically with out elimination. After this has been recorded, little more nee abe said as an unqualified recommendation for the picture. Millions of readers consider the novel one of the great: est stories of all time; a faithful filming of that story must of neces- sity make the picture one of the greatest of movie history.
 Clark Gable is the perfect Rhett Butler of the picture. Technicolor enchaIices his personality, which already is the most amazing per- sonality the screen has ever known. His work is the best of his whole career. Equally brilliant is the work of Vivien Leigh, and she turns in what is being hailed as one of the screens greatest performances. She Is definitely the screens newest star. Leslie Howard, if such can be possible, is more than perfect, and it is hard to remember when lovely Olivia De Havilland has ever done greater work and difficult to see

STATE AID SOUGHT ON PROJECTS HERE
Sewage Disposal Plant Ex= pense to Be Shared By
 Bradley's Bill
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 29- The state would contribute one-third of the construction costs of sewage disposal plants in Waterbury and other municipalities, under the terms of a bill offered in the house of representatives by Rep. William R.. Bradley, of Beacon Falls.
 The bill provides that the surplus in the state treasury be turned over to the state water commission, and that the commission pay one-third of the cost of erecting sewage dis posal plants in cities and towns. The municipalities would have to pay the other two-thirdS of the cost.
 The state water commission has been urging Waterbury and other Naugatuck Valley towns for years to build disposal plants to prevent pollution. Several times there have been hints of drastic steps to force Waterbury and other towns to take action.

HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD

 Hollywood = While the movies have been protesting so much i1l- terest in topical events and national defense, it's astonishing so little has been done about the draft. After all this time, the only conscription picture actually in production is Universa1's Buck Privates," semi musical embelllshed by the clowning of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
 You'd think the Presidents sig nature scarcely would have been plotted on the selective service act before squads and corps of writers would have been drafted by the studios to whip up scrips on con- scription. As a matter of direct or potential importance to everybody in the United States, 1t would seem a bit more interesting than events in the lives of dead composers, ban dits, chorus girls, and other odd ments of history and fiction.
 But at most studios, the press agents were the only people awake. They thought up titles associated with rookie training and announced them for production, sometimes with tentative castings and assign ments of directors. In the past, plans dreamed up by publicists to make news on dull days have ma terialized into actual pictures and it's likely that the ballyhoo boys stirred some executive interest this time.
 BUCK PRIvATES"
 SHOULD MAKE MILLION
 Any day now, Bob Hope will be- gin acting in Paramount's Caught in the Draft" In about two weeks, 20th-Fox will start "Rise and Shine" But the fact is that from September until this writing, the only studio that got script and cast into action was Universal Buck Privates" is nearly finished, will be in the theaters before Feb ruary, and probably will make 8 million dollars.
 I have a hunch the vociferous antics of Abbott and Costello are going to make them very popular in the movies. Of course I may be a sucker for low comedy, although by some standards their hokum is a good many notches higher than the smart smut which has been cluttering the screen lately. The idea of a couple of veteran bur- lesque actors becoming opponents of purity in humor is a little startling, but it could happen to anybody who worked three years on Kate Smith radio show.

 America, long the land of hope and promise for poor immigrants and poorer refugees, has in the past year become a haven of peace for royalties without thrones, sociallteS whose exclusivenesS was as marked as their proud genealogies, inter- nationalists whose doings were mama for the gossip writers, and mere rich men who got some part of their fortune out of Europe be- fore the Nazi blitzkrieg started blitzing in deadly earnest.
 Fortune magazine in its February issue carries an article on these rich, royal and ritzy refugees and repatgiates and finds that new type has come over in luxury liners or transatlantic clippers, instead of in the steerage.
 Many of the new immigrants do not propose to work here. Some even hope they will not have to stay long. Their dream is of going back to Europe when things are better to the old, comfortable Europe they knew.
