him.
Take Mickey Rooney. There's
q lad who's beginning to get up
in the dough. But he's still a
long way from a salary COM
mensurate with his box office
popularity. The Motion Picture
Herald's annual poll of exhibit
tors shows Rooney topping
everybody else in Hollywood,
and by a considerable margin,
too. But his regular salary
is only $1,000 a week for 40
weeks, with a tidy bonus Of
$4,000 for each picture he COM
pletes. If he were to carry on
through the seven years of the
agreement, his weekly wage
would be $4,000 at the least.
From the beginning, Rooney
probably will make four pic
lures a year and will collect a
total of $4,000. But that isn't
so much for the Box Office
Champion when you consider
Bing Crosby-No z on the popu-
larity list-just signed a new
deal with Paramount which will
pay him about 100000 for four
pictures a year. Deanna Durbin
gets about $260,0OO and earns
every dime of it. Ginger Rogers,

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. Ats
a funny thing about the incon-
sistency Of movie salaries. Only
I don't mean funny, exactly, ex-
cept in a few ridiculous cases
such as actresses who don't act;
producers who don't produce;
and a certain dull-witted rela-
tive who until fairly recently
drew $500 a week for the sim
gle duty of telephoning the
weather bureau each afternoon.
Samuel Goldwyn used to ruin
the schemes of producer groups
to reduce players wages all
along the line. He would do
this through raids on other COM
panies' contract lists, justifying
his big payments by declaring
that stars salaries automatically
and inevitably would rise in pro-
portion to their box office ap-
peal.
BONUSES-BUT
NO INCREASE
That's still true, generally,
in this day of almost unbreak-
able contracts. Yet the contract
Is an instrument of a lot of odd
shenanigans. I could name you
an able and popular actor of five
years experience who's still
working for approximately three
times q truck drivers pay. He
ought to be getting about $500
a week by ordinary Hollywood
standards, and it's true the studio
occasionally gives him hand
some bonuses. But the COM
pany will not raise his contract
wages. So he has to be very
good little boy to get his bo-

FARM PROGRAM
IN DOUBT

The kind Of farm legislation
which the administration will
seek from this Congress is not
yet clear. The November cleo
ton. which saw the New Deal
losing ground in many forming
oreos. came as an eye-opener
to the Department Of AericuI-
ture, and experts there have
been going over the present
form program with q fine
toothed comb. Production con-
trolls Of some sort seem certoin
to stick, soil conservation meas
ures will doubtless be contin-
ued. and extension Of the food
stamp plan is quite likely. Be-
You'd that, the administrations
form program is pretty much
in doubt.
Another question mark is
the matter Of legislation gov
ernine strikes in defense In
dustries. The VuItee oircroft
strike disturbed Congress
greatly. and various bills to
curb the unions power were
introduced. Probability is that
none Of these will be pressed
very hard this winter unless
there is q new wave of strikes
in defense industries.

she arose and silently led him
through the three rooms to a short
hallway from which opened two
bedrooms. She indicated the room
to Kelly's left. "I hope this will be
comfortable. You'll find anything
you need in the dresser"
Kelly glanced at the huge, over
sized double bed in the center of
the room. He liked that. At the
far end three foor-length windows
faced the street. There Was a
dresser, four deep and two hard
chairs, a radio and on the floor a
deep, vivid blue rug.
1t was little staggering to Kelly.
Il could sleep anywhere" he said
lamely. He was having difficulty
with words. Everything he said
sounded blatant.
He stepped away from Sherr and
into the room. He stripped off his
coat and threw it angrily upon the
bed. Sherr stood upon the threshold
and watched his shoulders bulge
beneath his white shirt, and she
was fascinated by the lines of his
lean, tired face and the muscles that
knotted sDasmodically in his cheeks

her feet. Then he swung around.
Doesn't Like Uncle John.
"Uncle John!" Sherr gasped.
The man standing facing Sherr
bent his head in a tight, formal
bow.
Kelly saw the neat, iron-gray
hair, the thin, angular face. He
felt the impact of steady, piercing
eyes. He resented the thin line of
the tightly clamped mouth His in
slant unreasonable thought was,
The man is mad"
John O'Dian said, ironically, "Who
is this man."
Kelly stepped forward. The slop-
ing, powerful shoulders of the other
man hunched. His steady eyes
f1icked over Kelly, noting the tow
ering height of the man, the swing
of his shoulders, the long, tensed
arms

smile spread his mouth into a fiat,
thin line. He stepped to the chair
where O'Dian's hat and coat lay.
You had better put these on
now," he murmured quietly.
John ODian punched his shoul-
ders into the coat, set the hat care
fully upon his head. He was slow,
deliberate.
He said calmly to Sherr. you
still have a week, my dear His
face was bland. Sherr and Kelly
watched him as he strobe toward
the door. He flung words back at
these two: I'll be back. You know
that, don't you?" His voice stayed
behind him, echoed emptily in the
room.
Sherr slumped into a chair. She
covered her face with slim hands

he answered her eyes in kind. Then

John ODian betrayed not sign

cleaned between his open lips.
Since when?" he said. His voice
was husky. His eyes glinted like
hard points of steel.
That doesn't matter" Kelly said
levelly

niece. Sherr nodded
DO you want proof?" Kelly asked
briefly.

Sherr broke in quickly, What
do you mean?"
What does it sound like? Don't
you think that your Mr.. Madigan
might meet with an >. er acci-

Kelly moved forward like a huge
jungle cat His instant dislike of
John ODian jelled to anger, and
the thin, calm face was a target
for his hard, unwavering eyes.

halted as though struck, then he

He said, do you mind if I rest
awhile?"
NO" answered Sherr. She seemed
to have forgotten him.
But Kelly could not rest. There
was an aWareness of Sherr ODian
in his mind. He managed to close
his eyes The taXicab rocketed
through the night.
Tim Grogan pulled up before Sherr
ODians apartment. He slumped
behind the wheel.
Sherr and Kelly had been quiet
for the last part of the trip. There
had been much for both to think
about. What they would do from
now on. How they would live
Kelly reflected that Sherr had not
specified what would happen to their
marriage When all the excitement
was over, how would it end? Would
there be a quiet parting? Kelly
couldn't imagine that.
Sherr was paying Tim Grogan.
Kelly stood on the sidewalk, wait
ing.
Tim Grogan said, Good luck to
you two
Kelly nodded thanks. We'll see
you again, Tim"
Sherr walked at Kelly's side Her
tall, graceful body sWayed toward
him. brushed against his arm. Kelly
wanted to stand eff at a distance
and watch her.
Kelly Follows Tradition.
At the door some inner warning
sense told Kelly that something was
amiss He remembered suddenly the
two men who had stood here last
night. There was silent anxiety
in Sherr'S face.

Then. that's your door there"
Kelly indicated a heavy oak door
with sheet of thick plate glass set
in the center and iron grillwork

inside.

UNDATED, Feb. 4 (P) - Will kie flew to Dublin to confer with DeValera on the subject of Irish ports and bases which were re- peat3dly sought by the British to combat the German counter blockade. Even as RAF bombers twice attacked the Nazi U-boat center at Brest, Willkie said he planned to ask Devalera qu.s- tions and to talk to him acress the desk regarding neutral Fires bases.
 After talking to De Valsra Willkie said he could not reveal the subject of the conversation.
 So far DeValera has refused permission for either British planes and warships to use Irish
