CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa. Oct. 90
Death has separated the vegetable
twins of the stage"-Addie and Effie
Cherry.
Addie Rose Alma Cherry, 80. died
last night, breaking up a sister team
that was famed on Broadway for
20 years.
Their career before the footlights
was curious tale of theatrical ups
and downs blended with the tradi-
ton of the Floradora days.
Critics sometimes referred to them
as "the vegetable twins of the stage
or said their act was so bad it is
good" They once sued a newspaper
for libel because it printed an un-
favorable account of their act. They
presented the act in court and the
; judge took the case from the jury
and awarded the newspaper a di-
rected rorAict.
On another occasion New York
fru t dealers complained that they
: couldn't get enough fruit and vege-
tables to supply their trade because
truck raisers and commission men
were selling direct to patrons OF
Hammerstein's Olympia Theater
where the Cherry sisters were fea-
tured.
In recent years Effie and Addie
lived retired lives. Effie, in ex-
tremely poor health, is the only sur
vivor of the family, which originally
included five daughters and a son.
1t was at the old Olympia where

The Gypsy skit. which was their

portrayed by Addie.
The olympia attack set a prece-
dent and thereafter. according to
legend, many young blades took
fruit and vegetables with them
when they went to see the actresses
Efiie and Addie both denied
tradition and a few avowed wit
nesses to the contrayy-that they
ever played behind chicken wire

! From time to time, they made
short lived sallies into the threatri-
cal world. One Of their latest was
in 1888 in Cedar Rapids. Their act

asserted, was Immoral"

SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 90
Foreign Minister H. V. Evatt said
today that Hanson w. Baldwin,
military editor of the New York
Times, had been inaccurate and
intemperate' in saying that
Australian labor and internal af-
fairs were hampering Gen. Doug
las Macarthur and the United
Nations war effort.
Mr.. Evatt declared Mr. Baldwin
had not visited Australia and had
obtained his informa ton from a
few persons who had returned to
the United States after failing in
Australia.
Mr.. Evatt said calling the Aus
tralian government complacent is
false.
Take for instance Baldwin's ref
erence to Gen. Macarthur, Mr.
Evatt said. Never has he been

"eXhorbitant profits of the middle

man in between might be handled

1919 Draft Bill
Vote Blocked
Till Next Week
Action Is Held Up
While Members Are
Away for Elections
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional leaders virtually
abandoned hope today for a final
vote on legislation lowering the
draft age from 20 to 18 years un-
til the middle of next week, when
House members return from
their election campaigns.
Refusal of Representative Rankin,
Democrat, of Mississippi to permit
the appointment of uninstructed
conterees to work out differences be-
tween the Senate and the House. set
up a barrier which Representative
Thomason, Democrat, of Texas said
probably could not be overcome
without roll call vote.
The House program calls for no
votes on controversial matters until
after election next week.
Controversial Matter.
Mr.. Rankin objected to sending
the bill to conference when Mr..
Thomason, ranking Democratic
member of the House Military Al
fairs Committee, said he could give
no assurance that the House would
have a chance to vote on a Senate
amendment requiring at least IL
months training before teen-age SOL
diers could be assigned to combat
duty.
Mr.. Rankin then offered a motion
that would have instructed the
House conferees to insist that the
Senate amendment be retained but
withdrew it when Mr.. Thomason
Withdrew his motion for the ap-
pointment Of conferees.
The Texan said he would renew
the motion tomorrow and Mr..
Rankin said he likewise would re-
new his motion for instructions to
the conferees.
Under the agreement made last
week." Mr.. Thomason said, "it was
| decided there could be no contro-
versial matters brought up until
after the election. This certainly is
a controversial one since there al
ready is objection"
Nye Explains Negative Vote. 4
Mr.. Rankin likewise predictkd
there would be no showdown until
the absent members returned. Un-
der House rules, a single member
can block the appointment of con-
ferees unless a majority overrides
| him.
Senator Nye, Republican, Of
North Dakota told the Senate
meanwhile, why he voted against
the draft bill.
After commenting that there
would have to be something more
than a declaration by the President
and the Secretary of War as to
the need for lowering the draft
age, he said:
Il don't believe that the record
has demonstrated this need
Senator Nye said he believed the
measure as passed by the Senate
Saturday was "a much better bill'
then when it had been reported
out of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, and that if the Tydings
amendment deferring farm laborers
was retained by conferees he felt
there can be some check to the
abandonment of farms"

Earlier Story on Page Ally
While the Senate Military Af-
fairs Committee this afternoon
heard testimony that the Ma
tions civil enterprises faced
manpower shortages, Secretary
OF War Stimson said that the
armed services also faced the
same shortages.
In letter made public by Mi
nority Leader McNary, Mr.. Stimson
said that men could not be released
from the Army to aid farmers or to
work in industries.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Sc
lective service director. estimated,
meanwhile. that 100000 men had
been modified in the armed forces.
Certain types of farms have lost
more workers than they should ~

tor in this"

Mr.. Stimson said it was rarely
acknowledged that the armed
forces faced manpower shortages.
On the contrary. the current
tendency, and in my belief, a dang
erous tendency" Mr.. Stimson said.
lis to rectify civil labor shortages
through the simple expedient of
returning physically fit capable SOL
dlers to civil life while our strug-
gle for existence is yet in its forma-
tive stage.
This tendency has gathered mo-
mentum in seeming disregard for
the basic factor from which war
time labor shortages are derived,
since labor shortages. in agriculture
or any civil occupation, cannot be
traced exclusively, or in any in
stance primarily. to the manpower
demands OF the Army or Navy, but
in many instances result from such
inducements as wage differentials

fession into another"

The manpower drain on war fac
tories from the induction of men
into the Army is approaching a
crisis" which probably will come be-
tween December and February, Col.
Lewis Sanders. chief of Selective
Service Systems Unemployment
Division, told the Senate committee.
Col. Sanders said. however. that
given the proper organization and
setup to handle manpower" 80 per
cent of the job of replacing men
in industry could be done under
existing legislation.
New legislation might be neces-
sary next year to get men to f1ll
the other Jobs. he said, but he
thought labor drafting legislation
"at this moment" would be pre-
mature"
Selective Service Withdrawals
from factories had not yet curtailed
production anywhere. COL Sanders
said. and the system contemplated
meeting the crisis by setting up
tables of organization and with
drawals' in each plant, taking into
account the rate of plant expansion
and the time in which it could
train requirements.
He said the management of "the
most critical war industry plant in
the United States" was entirely
satisfied with a proposed plan to
withdraw 400 workers month, even
while expanding its force from
10000 to 10000 in the next four
months.
