News from Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD. = Back from South America, brother Walt Disney is up to his old tricks again. His latest maneuvers have created so much friction between management and employees that almost anything might happen, though concrete action is not expected now.
 Reshuh1ing his entire feature pro- duction schedule, which the studio had been working on during his absence, Disney decreed that the nearly-fnish- ed Wind ln the WiIIozVS should be abandoned. Work goes ahead on BaNpbi, which will be released in early spring, and Peter Pan, which should be ready by the end of 1942.
 The new schedule called for
 laying off 200 of the studios
 73O employees, with the promise
 only that they would be rehired
 when the program warranted.
 Meantime Disney is working
 on new characters, inspired by
 his trip to South America. Let us hope that they will be Good
 Neighborly conceptions, and not
 caricatures of the Latins
 There is local shock over reports that Maurice Cheva1ier is collaborat- ing with the Nazis in France, but some skepticism also, as the reports on sympathies and activities of Frenchmen have too often been er- roneous. Hollywood is waiting for further confirmation before judging.

"NICE YOUNG WOMAN

The election was over the next time 1 met Miss Rankin-or should l say Congresswoman Rankin? She had been elected and being in her home town of Missoula-the State Univer- sity town-I noticed the county build ing all lit up one evening, so I dropped in to see what 1t was all about. The Congresswoman was be- ing given a reception, and there were plenty of refreshments and all the ther decorations and hub-dubs around as on such occasions. Miss Rankin saw me and came over and spoke, and I expect that many of those present wondered just who that "gink" was that she left them to speak to. She was a nice appearing young woman, about the type you will see running around the Yale Campus with a load of books under their arms.
 GOVERNOR NELLIE ROSS
 Governor Nellie Taylor Ross is of different type. She impresses one as an intellectual lady, and she is a great friend of labor. During her term of office I was present at the State Federation of Labor Con- vention at Casper. She was there, and not just to make her speech and leave. She stayed all during the meetings and cOnversed with the delegates. She now holds another FIRST, being the U. s. Governor of the Mints, the first woman to hold such position. Labor got all it asked of her during her term of office as governor of her state.
 MORAL VETS
 Both the two major parties en- dorsed prohibition and with the ladies voting the first time, we "Wets" took a good beating. Tim Da1y, former General President of the Metal Pol ishers I. U., and were the speakers at mass meeting held at Bozeman, in the famous Gallatin Valley which raises larger grain and more bushels to the acre than almost any other place in the nation. Tim and I had our talks all outlined. I spoke from the economic side of the prohibition question, while he handled the moral side. We each knew about what each other would say.
