West Point
Exciting
At Fox

The fact that Hollywood has
taken to thumbing its way
through the Congressional Rec
ord may be indicative of some
kind of cinematic unrest. but in
the case of Ten Gentlemen From
West Point" the film which
opened at the Fox, the research
has proven excitingly well justified.
This tale of the early days of
our academy is based on enough
fact TO give authentic flavor TO
this action-packed drama while
Hollywood has taken care of the
touching up" in its own mimi
table way.
The incident which started the
writers from points west TO think
ling about West Point, was the
decision by Congress in 1885 10
give the United States Military
Academy. founded by George
Washington, another chance.
II had fallen into disrepute and
ii took a courageous group of
young cadets TO convince the gov
lernment that such an institution
should continue.
A TOUGH sEIGE
These men had 10 have a bull
dog type of tenacity and an extra
amount of bravery because their
quarters were so barren and con-
ditions quite unhappy due TO the
tyranny of superior officer who
believed that good soldiers didn't
graduate" from any other school
than that of actual experience.
For plots sake we have George
Montgomery as a Kentucky From
tiersman and John Sutton. a pol
ished gentleman. as the principal
recruits of this trial year.
Laird Cregar IS the tough mar
tinet who subjects these deter
mined chaps 10 series of terrible
trials, in order 10 try and break
their wills.
HOLDING THE FORT
These trials. the hazing by the
Bombardiers and the final Indian
skirTnishes all add a great deal Of
high adventure TO the picture
which has a great deal more sus-
pense than the average historical
romance.
The love interest, which Is
rather incidental, is supplied by
Maureen O'Hara as a Washington
belle interested not only in
furthering the interests of the
academy but also in two Of its
cadets. namely Sutton and Mont
gomery. This interest we take
for granted because Miss O'Hara
fails TO give us any impression
Of young lady stimulated by
anything other than a desire to
show a very vacant smile.
A GOOD CAST
Montgomery is much better
than he has been in his preceding
roles and his feud with Sutton
gives more perspective 10 the role
Cregar. of course, is excellent, his
gruff and insulting mien providing
the story with a convenient viii
lain. who really isn't a meanie
at all.
The best sequences are the Ia
crosse game between the cadets
and the bonfbsrdiers and the stir
ring finale in which West Points
famous sons are given a rousing
salute across the century.

domestic comedy which appears

Executive Council Halls Labor's Fine
War Record; Astounding Production
Gains Credited to Union Workmen
Congress Urged to Let Labor Do It's War Job in Peace
AS Council Notes Defeat of All Anti-Labor Bills
Labor Achieves Finest Record in History.

Washington, d. C.-Saluting Amer
lean labor's "inspiring" war record,
the Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor pledged itself to
exert "every means within the power
of the trade union movement" for
victory.
President William Green submitted
to the council an official report of
astounding" increases in the produc-
tion of planes, tanks, ships and guns
which, he said, "add up to the doom
of the Axis powers"
The council responded by giving the
highest praise to A. F. of L. workers
and their unions who have measured
up to their responsibilities" by strict
compliance with the federation's no
strike policy and ''are giving America
the kind of service that cannot be
measured in terms of money"
"Their patriotism is expressed not
in words, but in hard work." the Ex-
ecuClVe council SalQ.
"Never before in the history of our
country has such a fine record OF
steady, uninterrupted and highly ac-
celerated production been achieved by
labor"
At the same time the Executive
Council expressed qualification over
| the fact that not a single one of the
50-odd anti-labor legislative proposals
considered by Congress at this session
has been enacted into law.
The resolution on anti-labor legis-
lation wound up the first half of the
Executive Councils regular spring
meeting in the nations capital
In reporting on the heavy barrage
of bills and amendments fired at or
ganized labor during the current Con.
gressional session, President Greer
said:
Despite high-pressure propaganda
campaigns intended to mislead the
public and to intimidate members OF
Congress into supporting these vicious
proposals, not single one of then
has been enacted into law
"The enemies of labor have beer
soundly defeated in every crucial test
vote. / am hopeful that no anti-labol
legislation will be passed during the
remainder of this session of Congress.
After considering the report submit

ted by President Green, the Executive
Council adopted the following resolu-
ton:
"The Executive Council commends
President Green and the Legislative
Committee of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor for their tireless and
successful efforts to prevent the enact
ment of legislation which would have
deprived American workers of their
freedom and hampered the efforts of
trade unions to assist in the nations
war effort.
practically all of the dangerous
proposals rejected by Congress were
of a compulsory nature and would
have defeated the very ends they
ostensibly sought to achieve.
"American workers will not stand
for RECOMMENDATION. They will not be
driven like slaves. They are working
and fighting to prevent that very
threat from foreign aggressors. 1t
would be the height of folly to destroy
their morale and impair their free
doms in the name of a war which is
being waged to preserve freedom.
eve consider it highly significant
that the great majority of the anti
labor proposals were sponsored and
supported by individuals and groups
consistently opposed to labor in the
past. They used the most despicable
methods to arouse public hysteria and
frighten Congress. The wholly ridic-
ulous charge was even made that
America is losing the war because of
its present labor policy.
"The truth is that America is win
ming this war because American work
ers, along with all other American
citizens, are doing their very best for
victory.
"Our confidence in the heroic spirit
of American labor is not based on
empty hope but on actual perform
ance. The record of war production
increases is the best evidence Of that
performance.
"Under the circumstances, we sub
nit that labor should be permitted to
concentrate it's energies on the her
culean tasks before it, without being
constantly harassed by legislative as
saults. The officers of the American
Federation of Labor have been COM
PEELED to spend a great deal of time
and effort in resisting more than fifty
legislative proposals during this ses-
sion of Congress alone. Not single
one of these measures has been
enacted into law. Congress has eXer-
cised good judgment. We suggest that
it continue to show good judgment by
permitting labor to do it's war job in
peace"

FAIL TO AGREE ON
CHOICE OF NOMINEE

Columbus, Ohio.-With no prospects
for agreement on program, the Ohio
Democratic Committee of Ten debated
the situation over the governorship
nomination Monday night until late
hour. The committee heard three as
pirants, John McSweency, J. 7. Fergu-
son, and C. HI. Knisley, insist that
none of them would retire from the
race. Ray T. Miller, Cleveland, told
the committee he had yet to make up
his mind, but the belief was prevalent
that he may be considered eliminated
from the contest.
The session was looked upon as
hopeless of achieving its mission to
bring the party harmony and to avoid
a primary contest.
