Franks Job in Poland
Not So Complex

His task as viceroy Is. OF course,
more complex in many respects
than that of -a-nan like Hans
Frank, Nazi governor OF Poland.
The difference is that Frank
can use more direct means in a
country sealed off from the world,
and can rub out Poles and Jews
BY the thousands without any one
being the wiser. Hunger and the
machine gun can liquidate with
amazing rapidity and solve related
problems.
Every Pole. by heredity and
nature. hates the German so that
any Pole alive is and always will
be the deadly foe of every Ger
man. so why take chances and
encourage an increasing birthrate
or long living among the Roles?
You can hardly expect man
lile Frank 10 see reason In that.
II he did. Hitler wouldn't and
tough little Frank is not the man
10 cross Hitler for the sake OF
A Pole or Jew.

Ironically enough. there is said
TO be more graft and corruption
among the s. S. and German ad-
illustrative groups in his govern
ment than any place else, chiefly
due TO the millions of Jews from
whom money can be extracted.

this week. Much detailed compila-
ton is necessary, since there were
1000 numbers drawn in the draft
lottery on st. Patrick's Day while
the largest registration among any
of the local boards is only slightly
more than 1900.
Aliens Status
The four local Selective Service
boards today began Reconsideration
of aliens, who are now subject to
army induction. Instructions for
the Redistribution were announced
by Captain Frederick E. Phelan,
public relations director at state Sc
lective Service headquarters in Hart
ford,
1t is unofficially estimated that
several hundred local residents will
be affected by the new regulations.
There were approximately 100
aliens who registered for earlier
draft calls, and about twice that
many are believed to have regis
tered during the 20-44 registration
held last month.
Up to now, aliens have been
placed in 4-C. Now many of them
will go into the la classification,
and will be subject to early call for
army duty. Special forms will be
given aliens to fill out, and the
question Of, which of them will be
summoned to service will be de-
cided by U. S. Army authorities.

the minimum wage law, stated that
they were attempting to set a wage
ITO meet the minimum cost Of hv-
ing necessary for health and one
that would represent fair and rea-
sonable value Of the services rem
dered by the employee"
Under the law, the commissioner
of labor may accept or reject the
recommendation of the board
within 10 days and It is expected

mended the adoption Of certain reg
ulations, which include the forbid
ding Of charging Of cost Of uniforms

ment, and charges for the upkeep
Of uniforms are also forbidden. Also,
If an employee is called for work in
any day he must be assured mini
mum Of hours earnings, whether

A special recommendation cover
ing the employment Of students on

Mary Elaine, as pretty as her
name, and her elder sister, Shirley
White, sporting a most becoming
coat OF tan, yesterday gave their
affable parents, Mr.. and Mrs. An
thony Abrams of SIS Washington
Avenue, the most appropriate Easter
present the 1oveable Lithuanian
couple ever hoped to receive.
The youthful sisters arrived home
unexpectedly from Hollywood, Cali
fornia, their first trip back to the
Brass Center of the World since
Hollywood cameras beckoned them
five and six years ago, respectively.
Mary, a titian-haired gal who pune
tuates everything with laugh as
warm as a Tahitian sun, has been
under film contracts for five years,
one less than Sister Shirley.
Catholic High Grad
Mary Is undoubtedly better known
locally than her brunette sister who
also does considerable work as a
commercial photography model for
some OF the outstanding agencies in
the country. When Mary was a
Catholic High School senior she won
a local beauty contest to determine
Miss Waterbury," an accomplish
ment which merited her the leading
role in an a1l-Waterbury' movie
some five years back, which by the
way, has been the only silent movie
ever filmed with this city as a back
ground.
Mary and Shirley are going to
make the most of their first vaca-
tons home which will be prevalent
until the first Of June when both
are due back in flickerland. As
thrilled as both are of being home
for several months. Mary undoub-
tedly will be watching the calendar
intently with the hope Of making
the days roll by faster, for upon
her return to the coast she ar
IDENTIFY cherishes hopes Of signing
her name to more substantial and
meritorious contract with Republic
Pictures.
Most of Mary's screen work to
date as a chorus girl has been under
the banners of Metro GOODWIN
Mayer, Twentieth Century Fox, and
Universal. Waterburians will prob
ably remember her well in Repub-
lies "Shepards of the Ozarks," Fox's
"Ten Gentlemen From West Point
and 'HTake A Letter." with Rosalind
Russell, another hometown gift to
cinemaland, in the starring role.
Only once since the Brooklyn sis
tiers have been in Hollywood have
they worked together in the same
production, that several years past
in Paramount's "Mr. and Mrs.
Cugat."
Personality Girls
Mary and Shirley are as different
as night and day as far as looks are
concerned, but possess the same
pleasing personalities so essential
In their profession. Both like to sum
up everything quickly and accurate
ly. Both are striking examples OF
what the present day girl should
look like physically and credit their
physical fitness TO daily recreation.
including horseback riding, bad
minton, ping pong, tennis and golf.
Both are able to tell story after
story of Hollywood experiences IN
a witty vein, adding glorious smiles
and laughs which make their guests
Just happy listening to them.
Mary gained nationwide publicity
last week when Greg Toland, the
man who photographed 'Wuthering
Heights" one Of the 10 best pictures
or 1889, selected her as the fortunate
possessor Of as pretty g set Of chorus

Charles H. Granger, president Of

tureEs Advisory Board with Cover
nor Robert A. Hurley at Hartford
this afternoon. Mr.. Granger is one

The board of which Mr.. Granger
Is a member will offer its services to

duction. The six members have q
background Of experience gained
when they converted their own
plants to defense work.
The two groups, after formally
organizing this afternoon. we're to

Local Girl May Get
Republic Film Role
Cameraman Claims Mary Elaine Has as Pretty as
Set Of Chorus Girls Legs as Seen in Hollywood

girls legs as can be found in the
Film Capital today.
Greg'S interesting yarn In last
Sundays New York Journal Ameri-
can covered full page, highlighted
by four pictures, one of Mary Elaine.
1t was appropriately captioned How
Hollywood Looks At Legs" He
should know, too, for the ace
cameraman makes a science Of his
pleasant work.
Toland let 1t be known in his
article that he had finally decided
that all feminine legs worth looking
at fall into four classes: first the
showgirl leg; second, the debutante
leg; third, the chorus girl leg; and
fourth, the petite leg.
Almost Perfect Example
The chorus girl leg, claims Greg,
is somewhat shorter than either the
showgirl or the debutante type. An
almost perfect example is Mary
Elaine, he added, and any musical
comedy director on Broadway would
give a good deal to know where he
can find dozen such pairs of legs,
which are said to be especially
soothing to the spirits Of tired
business men. The best way to FIND
market for such legs in Hollywood
concluded Toland, is to have them
youthful, lively and EDUCATED To
dance.
