HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 16-This
is the day of opportunity for
newcomers to Movietown, and
players such as Kaaren Verne
and Nancy Coleman can be glad
of it.
Miss Coleman was here be-
fore, but was told to 60 back
to the stage. That was only a
year or SO ago, and the actress
pr su m b y was talented
enough. She appeared with dis
tinction in Susan and God" and
after Hollywood sent her away
she became the leading lady in
Theater Guild production.
So it wasn't that anyb o d y
doubted her ability. Production
was slack at the time, players
were plentiful, and studios didn't
feel like taking expe sive
chances with new people.
FACED DEPORTATION
Kaaren Verne had a similar
experience only last spring.
Came to Hollywood on a Metro
contract and soon was dismissed
when no roles were found for
her. She didn't return to the
theater she had known because
an attempt to do so probably
would have landed her in a con-
centration camp. Miss Verne had
played in Germany, finally skip
ping to Sweden and coming to
America by way of England.
She entered on a work permit
which was good only as long as
she was employed. When Metro
fired her, the future looked not
only bleak but desperate. She
faced deportation.
Then the situation in Holly
wood began to change. Execu-
tives, looking ahead to the big
backlog of finished pictures they
must pile up to do business un-
der the government selling de-
cree, began to worry about hav-
in geonugh players. Today every

ponderance in numbers, the Mex

The special delivery stamp

was issued in 1897. An attempt
was started during that year TO
teach Mexican Indians to read and

e.BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

There we're octuolly thousands
Of prices. and nobody. even to-
doy, knows how many prices
there ore in thot schedule.
There wos q price for procticoI-
ly every one of the IS. 900
mines. for every one of the
dozen Of sizes and qualities of
cool, ond the mine price was
different for every morket.
Six hundred mine operators
found foult with the schedule,
as you might expect. and their
eoses hod to be reviewed.
Chonees we're made. Then 300
appealed to Secretary Ickes,
ond more changes were made.
Three Of the 300 made oppeoIs
to federal courts, and finally
the price schedule was in ef-
feet.
GOES ON FOR YEARS
Today. 6ituminous Coal Di-
vision finds itself with two
problems on its hands. II is
empowered to fix both mini
mum and maximum prices. On
the one hand, it has about 100
eoses on its hands, charging
mine operators with seIIino
coal below the minimum
prices, allowing Unauthorized
discounts, foiline to odd octuoI
transportation charges to de-
!ivered prices, and foilino to
keep records. There must be q
herring, q "trioI," and q decis-
ion on every cose. Mind you,
these ore for violations of min
imum prices.
On the other hand, prices
Of some Of the specioI Goals
ore going up. There is q short
oee Of Goals for coke and steel
making. Also, the demand for
industrial coal hos shot up the
demand for cool cors. Irons
portotion of cool for domestic
uses may be pinched. II may
be up to Bituminous Cool Divi-
sion to set noximum prices be-
fore long.
This sod story is told here
to show the utter folly of. try
ing to fix moximum prices and
prevent infIotion by any COM
pick methods of boards and
hearings.
The only way to fix prices is
to fix prices. Some few people
may get hurt in the process,
but their wounds con be lick
ed. In the meantime, millions
more will be kept from being
hurt. The second moral Of this
piece is thot il you burn coal
in your furnace, the coal con-
sumers' counsel says you'd bet
ter fill up the bin now, while
there's coal ond before the
price goes up. But maybe you'll
figure you can keep warm by
burning governmental red tope

Of Morine and ShiPbuiIding Workers
desionotes the principal issue IN us

the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydook
Compony. Under present oiroum-
stances practically any strike IN the
shipbuiIding industry seriously otfeets

Il was hoped would insure uninterruPt-

The union security" clause. which
the NotionoI Defense Mediation Boord
has recommended in this cose, is q
formula which hos been devised as on
intermediate position between the open
and the closed shop. 1t does not re-
ouire workman to join the union IN
order to hold his job, but it does pro-
vide that il he hos ever been q union
member he must keep up his union
dues and membership or else the en-
ployer must discharge him.
This maintenance of member
ship" demond was chief sno9 in the
lono Allis-ChoImers strike in Milwou-
kee. The shipyord company at Keorny
is subsidiary OF the United States
Steel Company, which was first to rec
oonize and deal with the c. |. 0. Steel
Workers Organizing Committee. This
firm, however, like many other employ
ers. does not wish to abandon the open
shop policy. In particular, since the
Woaner Act forbids it's interference
oooinst union octivity, it probably feels
that it should not be made policeman
to keep members in union.
In foct, the freedom Of choice
which the Wagner Act was meant to
ouorontee-the right Of the worker to
be represented by bargaining agents
of his own selection-oueht to be
continuing freedom 1t ought to per-
nit more than q one-time choice. If
members ore dissatisfied With q union
there should be some way for them to
leove it without losing their jobs.
The various compromises which
have been explored for q solution to
the open versus closed shop question
have been useful in throwing light on
the subject. 1t would seem, however,
thot there must be q better solution
to the problem than the maintenance

After all, q person or people mus,

There can be no disagreement that the

lines.
The circumstances under which
Wilson pronounced the Fourteen

and men of good will everywhere saw
that his terms we're the absolute mini
