Annual Oscar Business Has
 Big 0raiory
Difference of Opinion Is Voiced When Awards
 Are Handed Out
By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD. March 28-Every wear about this time, when l re- cover from the oratory barrage, there comes a puzzling and a wondering about that annual Os- car business.
 Whole chapters could be written on banquet oratory as perpetrated in Hollywood. Some of it is good and pointed: this years, medals go to Wendell Willkie and Dr Hu Shih, the noted ambassador from China. Some of it is just so mucn Selznick and DeMille.
 Both David o. and Cecil B. have been concerned with wind" pie lures. They demonstrated. Many things have gone with the wind, but David o. on that pl atfor m wasn't among 'em. Cecil B.'s classic slip-all he did was refer to pr. Hu Shin as a Japanese ambassador -reaped a wild wind of shock, but that didn't deter Cecil B.
 So it takes a while to recover. and then you can ask your how-comes.
 How about Orson Welles, for in stance? Citizen Kane" or Orson was nominated for 10 honors, and came off with one first place. Or son, down. in South America. should be happy to know that Kane was the "best original screenplay.' Granted he was outdistanced in the other races (which you needn't 1t is amazing that Kane" and Gregg Poland missed out on the photog- raphy award--for Kane, with its innovations, generated new excite ment behind the cameras all over Hollywood.
 To say this is to take nothing away from Arthur Miller's beautiful work on How Green Was My Vel'ev," the years board-sweeping picture.
 1t takes nothing away from Joan Fontaines best actress honor either, to point out that her only outstanding work to date has been in two pictures directed by Alfred Hitchcock, who was not even nom- mated for direction.
 Miss Fontaine, just Oliva De Hav- jlland's kid sister whose acting kind people didn't mention until Re becca," gets another Oscar test ir This Above All"-with Anatols Litvak as director. If she's Oscar good in that too. then some of us will forgive the voters for passing up Barbara Stanwyck, overdue for a nod since her Stella Dallas" was an also-ran, and consistently good in drama or comedy
 It's not the past that counts, though. It's the picture. Is that so? Bette Davis's first Oscar was for a mediocre picture, obviously honored

.AtCOnvention
War Effort, Legislation, Per
Capita and Organizing
Are Leading Problems

The fifty-seventh annual
convention of the Connecticut
Federation of Labor, which
will be one of the most impOr-
tant in its history, will be held
at the Hotel Taft in New Ha-
ven, Tuesday through Friday,
September 8-lI, inclusive.
New Haven was awarded the
convention at a meeting of the
executive board of the Fedora
ton held in Bridgeport, and
the feeling of some of the
members was that it might be
the last convention until after
the war is over.
Gov. Robert A. Hurley will
be the chief invited guest, and
it is expected that John ].
Egan, secretary-treasurer of
the Federation, will announce
the full list of speakers next
week.
LEGISLATION
The convention win be the first
held in wartime since 1918, and
because of the war, and the mighty
role labor is playing in production,
the deliberations win be of un.
usual significance. The fact that
next year is Legislative year be-
cause of the meeting of the General
Assembly means that legislation
will be given much consideration
by the delegates.
GOV. ROBERT A. HURLEY
1t Is expected that many impor-
tant resolutions will be presented,
and already there are indications
that q strong drive will be made
for adequate labor representation
on all city and state boards which
are concerned with the war effort.
"BABY WAGNER ACT''
In the field of legislation,
''Baby Wagner Act,'' which Gov.
Hurley strongly favOrs, is sure to
be included in the legislative pro-
gram of the Federation. Since the
turndewn of the State Labor ReIa.
tiOns Act by the last session of the
General Assembly, the Governor
has brought about the Compact
for Victory" under which the
ALL, C.I.O., and Conn. Manu-
facturers Assn. have agreed to SUBJ
init all disputes TO the Governor
before any action is taken. As a
result, since the signing of the pact
ON December 9, 194I, two days
after Pearl HarbOr, there has not
been one strike of any real i'm.
pOrtance in Connecticut. Another
result is that the Governors Office
has virtually become a state labor
relations board, and with Connecti-
cut one of the leading states in
war production, everyone agrees
the Governor should not have TO
handle labor disputes during the
national emergency.

LIBERALIZATION
OF U.C.Is Urged
By State Body
Kentucky Federation Says
Govt. Should Handle I'm
employment Problems

The New Haven Central Labor
Council this week received a COM
munication from the Kentucky
State Federation of Labor urging
it to back liberalization of unem-
plOyment compensation. Above the
signature of Secretary Treasurer
Edward I'll. Weyler, the letter calls
the subject ''the most vital question
standing before organized labor
today"
EMPLOYERS BENEFITED
Attached to the letter is a COM
munication on the subject which the
Kentucky body sent to all its Con-
gressmen. The supplement proves
that the state of Kentucky was one
of the most fragrant states in its
routine enforcement of its own I'M
employment compensation act and
that employers reaped the benefits of
it. Politicians in Kentucky have also
used U.C. state machinery for politi-
cal ends.
While Kentucky might be one
of the most backward states on
social legislation, the Federation
argues, no state apparatus and GER
tainly no 48 different apparatuses
will be able to cope with postwar
unemployment. liberalization of
U.C., the body declares, must come
about because unemployment is a
federal problem and not 48 diff.
ferent problems in 48 different
states. Further, the war has &C.
