There was h to pay at War
ners. Humphrey Bogart, the tough
est guy OH the lot. was undergoing
a case of pique. With his left fist
he had grabbed a terrified press
agent by the shirt front; with his
right he was menacing the fellows
chin with a rolled up newspaper. And
in the deadly tone that has sound
ed the doom of many a movie
villain, he was demanding:
"Whaddya mean by crack like
that?"
Bogart had read a story in the
newspaper to the effect that just
as Clara Bow had 1T" and Ann
Sheridan had "Oomph," Humphrey
Bogart had "BiV."
Where's that dictionary I asked
by the prop man and Bogart seized
it, thumbed furiously to the Bs
and drew a quivering index finger
down the page.
HOLD 1T, PAL
wait a minute, Bogey," urged
the intended victim. Don't you
get the idea? 'Biv' is just con-
| traction for 'ambivalence.
Bogart consulted the dictionary
aSain "Oh, yeah. 'Ambivalence ::
! Simultaneous attraction toward
and repulsion from an object, per-
son or action. Also, simultaneous
attractiveness and repulsiven S S
of such an object, person or ac-
ton "
"See?" said the press agent hope
fully.
1T says I'm repulsive, don't it?'
mo, you don't get the idea. The
way DR.. Popenoe explains it ir
that newspaper story
who's this guy Popovitch?'
"Popenoe. DR.. Popenoe. He's
the psychologist. Head of the Los
Angeles Institute of Family Rela'
tions. The guy who says you're
ambivalent,
"How's he know" asked Bogar
suspiciously. Il never even me-
the guy"
UNSAFE FOR WOMEN
The press agent started to re-
treat and then said, Look" Hf
carefully removed the newspaper
from Bogart's hesitating fist, un'
rolled it and started to read: Am
bivalence, said DR.. Popenoe, is tha
quality in a man which simultan'
eously inspires fear and love in
woman-or love through fear II
is what a woman does not NEAR
when she says man is perfectly
safe to be out with"
Don't forget Clark Gable" the
press agent added.
Whats he got to do with it?"
Il guess you didn't read that far

yeah? Well, the way figure it
it makes us both look like couple
of glamor boys
Humphrey Bogart might have re-
sorted to violence but Director
Lloyd Bacon called him back be-
fore the camera.

Grayer and 2raver grows the SIT
ua,ion regarding domestic workers
Throughout the south, where Ne
groes have been the chief supply,
the sudden dearth of workers is
more keenly felt than anywhere else.
The opening Of many industries
where pay and working conditions
and working hours are considerably
better than in the domestic field
has taken away The supply of color
ed servants. And now many who in
the past had a number Of underpaid
colored servants are forced to do
their own domestic work and take
care Of household duties.
This. plus the sudden cessation
OF INN grafton o. foreign labor. has
brought about a situation which to
the southerners is unbearable.
As a result the various agencies

flooded with letters of complaint
unged with bitterness and malice
One agency received letter
which incidentally. was turned over
to a colored division head for re-

Abraham Lincoln lived too long"
Other implications Of a similar
nature were contained in the epistle.

fact that white men we're being
taken into the army and Negroes
excluded because o. disease.
Another complaint was that more
white women would go into war
industries were it not for the fact
that many Negro women were. SINH
larly employed.
In the restaurants, wherever white
women assemble to chat and idle
away their time, the conversation us
ually turns 10 the domestic prob
lem, the inability TO obtain pro-
ficient help, the high wages beng
paid and the difficulty n keeping
those who take domestic Jobs for
