HOLLYWOOD-So I went on
4 rubberneck tour of Hollywood
with Irene Dunno. Here's how
and why:
For years the big buses and
plushy, limousines of the tour
services have been grinding up
the winding grade past her
French Norman house in Holm
by Hills. The passengers would
peer attentively % the bankers
chanted their varying monologs.
Miss Dunno heard her n m e
mentioned hundreds of times,
but never did she catch the re-
marks.
Having heard vague reports of
the ludicrous inaccuracies and
somewhat less amusing wittic-
isms tossed off by some of the
glib gents who point out the
homes Of the stars, Miss Dunno
said she'd like to take such a
tour herself. After all, people
seldom recognized her in public,
and She could wear something
plain.
WHAT, NO BODYGUARDS?
Well, she tried 1t. l went along.
So, I am constrained to add, did
three press agents, a secretary,
. lady owner of the tour COM
pany and . photographer from
one Of the picture magazines.
Even with that encourage, we al
most got by unnoticed.
Main trouble was that the
barker, who also was the driver.
recognized her right away. Miss
Dunno hadn't time to 60 into Los
Angeles for the beginning Of the
trip, 50 we caught 1t in Holly
wood.
We sat together and none of
the out-of-town customers seem
ed to notice US particularly. For
awhile we tried playing honey
mooners. and at least I can boast
Of having been called darling

CIVILIAN RIGHTS-lN A UNION

The Panama liner Ancon is sailing
from New York this week without Jo-
seph }. Doyle. Doyle was q waiter on
the Ancon for about six months and
was elected delegate from the crew to
the convention Of the c. |. 0. National
Maritime Union in Cleveland. There
he sponsored resolution for an open
heorino on the charges Of Communism
which have frequently been directed at
the citizenship Of this particular union
As result, Doyle was given q
choice Of resienine from the union or
being thrown out. He resigned, and Jo-
seph Curron, president Of the N. IA. IT,,
used the powers Of the union to assure
thot he should not be hired again on the
Ancon. The Panama Line, on agency Of
the United Stotes Government hires
its crew members entirely through the
union. It is sofe to soy that Doyle will
not get q job on any Of the other steom-
ship lines for which the NJ N. y. sup
plies seomen
Unions used to compton, bitterly
thot large employers sometimes black

cause Of their union activities. Under
the closed shop system, how does the
effect Of mans expulsion from the

Of blacklist?
A little further light is thrown on
the N. N. Y. episode by the next doys
proceedings in the convention at Cieve-
land. A speaker from San Fronciso
made an appeal on behalf of Eorl
Browder, former general secretary Of
the Communist party, now in Atlanta

passed resolution against imprison-

 The company reported tram cars of the Kogruk railroad and several tractors were burned.

 9 WASHINGTON = Recently THE WASHING NOTION MERRY GO BOUND revealed that the House Naval Affairs Committee had un- Searthed sensational evidence about huge profits being made by ship Builders, aircraft manufacturers and other defense firms. Further de- tails on this will be unfolded wher the committee makes public it's full report shortly.
 Contract profiteering, however won't be the only bomshell in this report.
 The committee also will disclose some startling facts about labor EEnion finances. The committee sent 6ut uuestionnaires to 162 AFL and CIO international unions. So far lO1, or about two-thirds, have re- piled. A digest of their reports re- veals the interesting fact that these unions had more than $73,000,00 salted away in their treasuries as of April 1, 1941.
 Acquired through fees, per capita taxes and special assessments, the S73,000, ,000 represented an increase of about 25 per cent over assets on September 1, 1889. The interna- tional unions profit to the extent of nearly $20,O00,000 from the defense program.
 In other words, these unions, like the contractors, did right smart for themselves out of the national em- ergency.
 f One of the biggest union bene- ficiaries of the defense program the committee report will show, is the United Mine Workers, bossed by John L. Lewis.
 The questionnaire received back from him disclosed that the UNIV had fat treasury balance in April of $4,O14,O75.8O. Since then there has been at least one special assessment, reported to have yielded another $l,OOO,000.
 NOTE-Representative Carl Vim son of Georgia, committee chair man is quietly planning to follow lp his report with a bill to tax international unions the same as corporations. The Internal Rev enue law now specifically exempts labor organizations. Under Win. Son's bill international unions would be taxed but local unions would continue to be exempted.

 Stimson said there were contin- ued attacks by Japanese aircraft m the vicinity or Manila yesterday partially against the air fields neal Cavite.
 Stimson declared that losses oi planes in the attack on Hawaii Sun- day, although heavy, already are being replaced He reported a flight of four-motored army bomb CTS arrived at Hawaii during the Japanese attack.

 The action came at a Chamber luncheon at the Baranof Hotel which was crowded with sugges- tions for defense of the city against raids and protection of civilians in event of a bombing
