Former Portlander
Steals Show

Portlanders were given a rare
treat this week when they saw
1.-THE Little Foxes" current at the
Paramount Theatre. 1.-THE Little
Foxes Of the screen is a close
adaptation of Lillian Helman's
grim story of family bent on
acquiring wealth, even to stoop-
ing to theft and what amounts to
murder to gain its ends. Playing
along side of Bette Davis, who
takes the leading role and every
thing else that is takeable, even
her husbands life, is Jessie Coles
Grayson, who just about steals the
show. Her scriptorial references,
sound judgment and wholesome adj
vice leaves one with a thought to
ponder. Although this is her first
picture, Mrs. Grayson is a good
actress. The scene laid in the deep
south has a colorful background,
much of the drama is based on
Bible history. Mrs. Grayson, a
former Portlander, spent many
years here in the civic and relig-
ious life of the community. She,
with her family, resides in Los
Angeles, Calf

A. F. Of L. May Probe
Insult To Race

NEW YORK = William Green,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. said he was great
ly surprised" over the report that
Harry O'Reilly, A. F. of L. organ
izer in Chicago, had insulted a
delegation from the NAACP
branch there and had called the
Negro IAN evil rather than an as
set to organized labor"
Last week, the NAACP request
ed Green to rebuke O'Reilly for the
statement. o'Reilly is also said to
have used profanity to the COM
mittee which visited him and to
have used the word niger"
Green's reply asserted: This
statement which you report Mr..
O'Reilly as having made is so
out of line with statements made
by representatives Of the Amer
lean Federation that it is difficult
for me to understand how and why
Mr.. O'Reilly would make such a
statement"
There has been no evidence that
O'Reilly was rebuked. Green mere
ly stated that he would inquire
into the matter" and communicate
with the NAACP.
Green was reminded in the Ma
ACP's letter Of the exclusion of
Negro workers from his A. F. of
L. machinists union.
