FIGHT PRICE HIKES

On top of this comes the prob
lem Of price control With search
ties in many lines of merchandise,
the temptation is TO kite prices as
the demand rises. Here the trade
associations of the retail merchants.
remembering the tough times they
had with inflationary price risea
during the last war. have coun-
seled their members against boost
ing prices of substituting inferior
merchandise at the prices formerly
prevailing on better qualities.
As Edgar J. kaufman, president
of a Pittsburgh chain Of stores
and a member of the OPA indus
try council, points out. only two Of
the price ceilings which OPA has
ordered thus far have been i'm
posed at the retail level. Thcs/
were on flashlights and tires. All
the other price maYimums decreed
On cigaretS, sugar. cotton and ray
on goods and the like have been al
wholesale or higher levels. The
| retailer and his customers get the
benefits of these latter ceilings
but the flashlight and tire sched-
uleS directly affect the retail trade
The flashlight ceiling was imposed,
10 stop a run which would develop
a shortage and the tire ceiling va
imposed becaus" there vas a zen

SOME BABY!
A 60-second closeup
Of DavY james

ONCESr term contract in Holly
wood history was signed a few
~ weeks ago. Signee is handsome
young man by the name of David
James. If you're smart, you'd make
bet that. in 1868. MIR. James will be
one of the hottest stars in movies.
That's the year he'll turn %. Davy,
now Is months. got his 2l-year con-
tract because of his work-with Marlene
Dietrich and Fred MacMurray in an
opus called The Lady Is Wiling
Plot of the picture revolves around
the trials and tribulations of glamor-
gal actress who adopts a baby. Davy
professional name: Baby Corey is it.
First baby hired were twins - the idea
being that one tot could rest while the
other worked and thus speed up
production. But the twins turned out
to be pair of spoiled little ones. so
they we're fired. Day - then the
8-months, lO-days-old son of middle
class parents - was given the job.
TWO DAYS after he went to work.
Marlene. holding him. tripped. fell.
broke her ankle. So. if you see the
picture and notice MarIene hiding her
legs behind a sofa in some OF the
scenes. you'll know that the evening
dress she's wearing only goes to her
knees and that she has a cast on one
of her half-million-dollar legs.
Evening star., 1942-03-22

Studio people say Davy was the
behaved baby ever to appear on
the Columbia lot. He made good
money: $l-25 minute. His average
working day was 20 minutes, and he
was on the pay roll for 13 weeks.
When he started the picture he
weighed l8 pounds, had five teeth.
When he quit, he'd gained four
pounds, one tooth. That latter addi-
ton caused his only crankiness. But
that was all right, too. On the day the
tooth really began to bother him, the
director shot the scene where Marlene
thinks she'll be forced to give the
baby up. She cries and so does he.
She, because she's an actress; he,
because he's cutting a tooth.
He had a lot of fun being a movie
star. He didn't seem to miss his own
play pen. or Sister Linda. six, and
Brother Stewart, eight. Reason. prob

ably, was his studio nursery. where he
had two of everything to play with
Che inherited the equipment from his
less tractable twin predecessors).
TIE PICTURE was a. costume
drama as far as Davy was concerned:
casting him as rich baby, the studio
had to supply his luxurious ward
robe. Outstanding items: tailored
diapers.
Only once did he fail to take
direction properly. He was, officially.
a babe in arms who couldn't walk.
But he surprised everybody one day
by taking his first step-in front of
the cameras. His mother was very
proud and happy. No one else was.
Which makes it the first case on
record when baby's first step wasn't
practically legal holiday.

Durocher in St. Louis within few
days.
Inasmuch as Hickey left town last
night, within 10 hours after his ap-
pointment had been announced,
there was a possibility he might have
his managerial problem settled, at
least in his own mind before he ever
settles down in the lavish Office left
him by 1t. Col. L. S. MacPhail, his
predecessor who resigned for active
service with the Army.
The 62-year- old executive who had
a varied career as ball player, man
ager, school teacher, coach and
lawyer before embarking on 25-
year association with the st. Louis
Cardinals in 1917, will begin his con-
tract with Brooklyn November !.
Army Apt to Get Durocher.
He was en- route to Des MONIES,
Iowa, today to fulfill speaking en-
gagement at War bond rally and
then 60 to Chicago to represent the
Dodgers at the major league draft
meeting Monday. He probably will
get back to his home at st. Louis
that same night and will have an
opportunity to see Durocher before
returning here later next week.
In this connection Hickey told re-
porters yesterday, II have supposed
that Leo would be in military serv-
ice next season, but when return
to st. Louis am going to see him
at once to determine what his status
is"
| Durocher is married. but has no
children and Hickey added that he
believed all men in ga without chill
dren would be called for duty before
next season.
Hickey said he also expected to
know more about the playing per-,
sonnel of his club after he had
talked to Durocher, who has man
aged the club for four years during
which he finished first in the Ma
tional League once, second twice
4 and third once.

With instructions to take to the

versity's Debated football team hopes
to rebound to the realm of respecta-
bility tonight when it tackles the

Crushed by William and Mary,

will be favored heavily despite the
possible loss of three performers.

Hurley, 235-pound tackle who is
nursing knee injury.
Wildcats Rating Much Higher.
Kentucky hasn't recovered fully
from 14-0 loss to Alabama last
week and Coach Alb Kirwan is pre-
dieting tougher game than appears
on paper. The Wildcats, in addition
to losing to Alabama, have been
defeated by Georgia and Wander
bilt-both by 7-6 margins-but ap-
pear to be beyond C. WIS class.
The Wildcats otherwise romped
over Xavier, 35-19, squashed Wash
ington and Lee. $50, and were held
to TT tie by Virginia Tech. G. w.,
meanwhile, has defeated only West
ern Maryland and Richmond, drop
ping successive decisions to The
Citadel, Furman and w. and M.
G. w. has failed to produce a
touchdown or score of any descrip-
ton except safety in its last three
games. so Coach Johnny Baker has
revised his lineup in an effort to
instill some punch into the
Colonials.
Baker Shuffles G. w. Players.
Baker has inserted Jim Rausch at
right half to capitalize on his pass
catching ability. Frank Seno and
Jimmy Graham have switched full
back and tailback positions, with
Pete Labukas continuing at quarter
back. .'-
With the blond Graham handling
the passing, &C. w. will stake its
hopes on grasping an early lead over
the Wildcats, who are expected to
capitalize on their weight advantage.
