the hesitancy with which the
directors get around TO the pro-
posals of marriage in their pic
lures that they must have taken
their own sweet time in popping
the question TO their ever-lov-
ings.
However, the m a tier that
arouSes the greatest envy of the
directors among us folks out in
the hurly-burly is their obvious
facility for dalliance in moments
of amorous hazard, as for in
stance when a fellow and his
beloved are enwrapped in en-
brace in some cul-de-sac such as
a room with the other guy APP
preaching in the near distance.
WE TAKE it for granted that
w the director treats a situa-
ton of this nature from obSer-
walton or experience and the
way the embraces linger on in
the picture indicates that lite
in Hollywood is fraught with
much less peril than it is IN
Scranton, Pa, or Rochester.
n. Y. or Pueblo. Colo.
Under similar circumstances a
fellow in those places or any
where else out in the world
would scarcely pause TO repeat
his farewells and his pro1eSta-
lions of love or to cop another
kiss.
He would follow the dictates
of prudence and self-preserva-
ton and go busting out Of the
earest exit, murmuring a
prayer that he was not going TO
hear the roar of a shotgun be-
hind him and feel the excruci-
ating pain of leaden pellets in
his Vestibule.
Those Hollywood directors are
sure lucky gees to be able TO
live such deliberately paced
lives, and never know the harsh
realities that call for fast foot
work.

A Noble Profession

NEXT to motherhood nursing is probably the noblest
profession of
And here's tip to Detroit young women who are
contemplating instead of immediate marriage.
If you have other pressing vocational urge why not
investigate the nursing profession,
shortage of graduate is imminent in Michi-
gan because of induction OF many of them into the
army and navy.
Opportunity in Michigan never was brighter than it
is today for young with desire to enter the
nursing profession.
D Ut here's another tip Don't go into it because of the
ID glamour. Don't so into it because of movies or radio
acts where the lovely invariably marres the bril-
liant inferno the millionaire patient.
Nursing is the whole very hard job. There is
drudgery it and downright hard labor and heartache

Politicians VS.. Civil Service

STORY in Sundays Detroit Times indicated that
a Democratic politicians already shopping around
for ways to nulify the civil service amendment They
looking for loophoes through which to engineer
wholesale discharge of Republican state employees they
have jobs for their Democratic henchmen.

any and all schemes to evade the letter of the civil service
law.
Democratic leaders must remember that civil service

BEFORE the great congress
sional debate to get us into
war begins. there ought to be a
little Qualification of terms.
The "lease-lend' plan to fur
nish unlimited arms to Britain
guns, planes. tanks. ships and
ammunition-isn't fairly named.
In candor it should be called the
give program for us to finance
the British, Chinese and Grecian
war at a cost nobody has even
taken the trouble to compute,
certainly many billions.
Lending munitions is double
talk. There is no honest differ
ence between our lending the
money to buy a battleship and
our buying the battleship itself
and then lending that. We did
1t by lending the money in the
last war. That was not returned.
II we loan the battleship and
Britain loses the war. we lose
the battleship or even find it
lighting against us.

THE most important recon-
mendation of the Smith COM
mittee of the House of Represen-
tatives which investigated the
labor board and the Wagner Act
was the one which proposed a
congressional study of the whole
question of labor relations.
OF course, events may rush
upon us in a storm and prevent
orderly consideration. but / am
assuming. for the moment, that
it will be possible to poke along
in a deliberate and sure-footed
way.
If that is done Congress is
sure TO cure its mind of a great
many Superstitions concerning
the structure and practice of
unions. and amendments TO the
Wagner Act naturally will fol-
low.
IT WOULD be just as well to
L admit that the Wagner Act. as
originally passed, was an emo
2 tional item of legislation which
recorded or revealed great igno-
rance of the subject of unions.
Surely Congress would not
have passed this law had the
fact been known that profess
sienal criminals were operating
important unions of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and
that this big parent organiza-
ton disclaimed both the power
and the duty to clean house.
Congress would not have
taken the responsibility for driv-
ing thousands of workers into
unions against their will.
THESE are some of the dis
l. coverieS that have been
made since the Wagner Act was
hailed as labor'S Magma Carta,
the law which was supposed only
TO guarantee the right of collec-
tive bargaining but which Gre
ated abuses as bad as those
which il was intended to correct.
A calm inquiry would show
that in the union Of Sidney Hill
man himself voters were cocrced
in the last election Ii would
show that a local of David Du-
binSky's union ordered its men,
bers TO attend a political rally
for Senator Mead of New York.

time when the Wagner Act was
passed. it may be recalled that

a bad lot and the unions lnno-
cent and noble groups
NOW it is plain that the en-
" ployers were not all cruel and
greedy and that there were some
very bad men in control of some
unions
Once the facts were revealed
Congress would be bound to
adopt amendments 10 the Wag-
ner Act or other legislation to
abolish, rather than license,
union abuses.

Film Directors Miss Bus+Ie
Of Rushing Their Products
BY DAMON RUNYON

TIIE MORE we view moving
pictures. the more we are
impressed by the leisurely tempo
to which movie directors seem to
have attuned their existence.
We take it that a picture re-
fleets the manner and mood of
the director and the pictures
we have seen lately indicate that
the directors lead unhurried, un-
flurried lives.
OF the hustle and hustle that
us ordinary mortals undergo
they seem to know nothing. OF
the necessity for speed that
spurs the rest of us to efforts
that leave us with our tongues
draping down over our chests
like red neckties. the directors
are apparently ignorant.
Out there in the calm Of
Hollywood. the directors proceed
about their business of providing
us cash customers of the movies
p with fine entertainment. totally
unconscious Of any need for
haste.
We say that is nice. We say
that is wonderful. We say it is
a great pity that the rest of US
cannot enjoy the quiet gentle
pace of thought and action and
the way of life of the Holly
wood directors. as mirrored in
the gait of the pictures.
But alas, out in the cruel
world beyond the confines of the
movie lots, we find that life is
much more rapid. There seems
to be a pressing demand for
great git-up-and-gitness. You
really have to shake a leg, as
the saying is, along the footpaths
of ordinary everyday life. You
have TO step on it. This APP
plies, we regret to say. even in
scenes dealing with the noble
emotion known as love which in
Hollywood, as we Judge from
the way the directors deal with
the matter, is something you so
about slow and easy.
TIIE, exigencieS of life out in
L the world are such that if
fellow wants TO kiss a girl. he
must act with speed and de-
ciSion. 1t behooves him to grab
her and commit the ,osculatory
act forthwith. or some other guy
may come along and do it for
him.
But we take il from their pic
lures that the Hollywood mexic-
directors are not required to be
as precipitate in situations of
this nature.
Still assuming that the pic
lures reflect the directorial
tempo. we must conclude that a
Hollywood director takes all
evening TO kiss girl. aiming
his Saiutes AT her chaste lips
again and again. but never pull
ing the trigger until she finally
grabs him around the neck and
does the kissing herself.
We imagine Hollywood direc-
tors are reluctant and uninter-
esting livers. and we do not
know where else but in Holly
wood they would find girls who
would hold still so long
WET many of the directors arc
L happily married. which leads
us to the conjecture that they
are fortunate above the fellows
