Blocking ebay Week
BY the Associated Press.


The United Mine Workers Journal
says the Government, which asked
for a six-day week in the coal indus
try, now is delaying it.
The unions official magazine
pointed out today that an increase
in the work week from five to six
days meant overtime which would
have to be paid for at rate and
half. To be able to do that. the OPP
orators say they need an increase in
the ceiling price of coal, but haven't
been able to get it.
'"The coal industry said the
Journal, has rehearsed and is in
full dress for the six-day work week,
but the refusal of the price 'bu-
reaucrats' of the Government to act
has thus far prevented the ix-day
week operation.
ITO obtain clearance papers to
start the six-day work week. opera
tors have been hot-footing from the
Labor Department, to Solid Fuels, to

Warner Bros. Worried
Over Enrol Flynn Case
Industry Faces Spotlight
Through Scandal Which
Menaces Future of Star
BY HAROLD HEFFERNAN,
North American Newspaper Alliance.

HOLLYWOOD. - Behind movie
headlines:
Enrol Flynn is the chief CONVEX
sational topic in movieland today.
Not since the days Of Roscoe Fatty)
Arbuckle and his sensational af-
fair with Virginia Rappe, which re-
suited in the actress death, has
the industry been 50 stirred by
scandal involving q top male per-
sonality.
That was back in 1921, when Fatty
was the leading comedian of his
day. On April 13, 1922, following q
series Of mistrials and hung juries
Arbuckle finally was acquitted.
However, he was a dead duck so far
as film audiences were concerned,
and never was he able to do q sue
cessful comeback.
1t was the Arbuckle case and the
subsequent shame and ridicule
heaped on the movie industry that
brought Will Hays out OF President
Harding's cabinet to his high-sal-
aried post as film car and head
cleanup man.
Few male stars have become en-
tangled in odorous scandals since
that time. In fact, Flynn is just
about the first in those 20 years to
skate off the deep edge Feminine
stars haven't done 50 well, however.
Mary Miles Minter, Mabel Nor
mand and several other leading la
dies of their day were headlined in
connection with the mysterious
death of William Desmond Taylor,
a director. This crime, incidentally
hasn't been solved to this day. ..
Olive Thomas, wife Of Jack Pick
ford, died under mysterious circum-
stances in Europe.
So did Thelma Todd, in q garage
at the rear OF her Santa Monica
Beach home.
Mary Astor's little black diary,
detailing affairs with a dozen Holly
wood name" players was pro-
longed first page sensation during
Mary's contested divorce case Of
several years back.
Lionel Atwill, character actor
gained court fame last year as a
wild party" giver, but all told, the
leading men of Hollywood have
managed, since the advent Of Hay
ism, to keep the sheriff at a safe
distance.
Whether Flynn is adjudged guilty
or innocent of charges brought by
minor girls, the star and his studio
are almost certain to take a bad rap
at the box Office.
It is significant that Warner Bros
are getting Flynn's two unreleased
pictures to market in the fastest
possible time. His "Gentleman
Jim," based on the life Of James j
Corbett, heavyweight champion in
years gone by, gets its national re-
lease Immediately, instead of a
month hence, as originally planned
Full speed ahead has been ordered
too, for Edge of Darkness" in
which Flynn is now working with

For Dixie" her follow-up, Para
mount puts Marjorie in wheel
chair in scene number one and keeps
her there throughout the picture.
As a paralysis victim she never gets
up. Her only consolation, if you can
call it that, is winning Bing Crosby
at the fadeout. So, the puzzle is:
What Is q casting director and why?
Consensus around Hollywood front
Offices is that the $4,000 wage CELL
ing, going into effect January /, will
definitely put an end to the old
movie star system. The little fellows
and the little gals will get their
chances as never before.

what it was all about, what element
was most important in the diher-
ence between winning and losing on
the battle front.
Discipline he said: The kind
that does thing on the very nose
of the second when it is supposed
to be done
Those boys made 1t work. We all
know that. As one Of you the last
IL weeks I've watched you, some OF
you soldiers when you started,
others, like me, fresh from civil life,
learn discipline the tough way. I
worked with you, scrubbed with you,
marched with you. worried with you
over whether this day would ever
come. The important thing, the
proud thing I've learned about us
is that we are men. No one could
say finer things about US. As men,
you know that you no longer are
individuals whose laxity is q purely
personal matter. Your individual
degree of discipline has national
value, q world value today.
If I had learned nothing else in
OCS, that would be a lesson to prize
above all the rest of my life. Null
tiply us by millions Of other Amer
leans and you have what it takes
to win the war, and what will cost
us the victory If we don't have it.
In a few minutes we will put on
the uniform Of an omcer which
symbolizes a stage in our develop
ment where individual efficiency
counts more than anything else
How we look in it is very impor-
tant thing. How we wear 1t is Z
lot more important.

1t. Clark Gable
Feels Proud Of
Finest Speech
Star Made Response
For Classmates at
Air COrbs Graduation

1t. Clark Gable of the United
States Army Air Corps regards this
as the best speech he ever made,
and he didn't follow the Hollywood
technique of learning it by heart.
Chosen by his classmates OF the
Oflcers' Candidate School to reply
to 1t. Gen. Henry H. Arnold's grad
uation address, this is what he said:
Fellow classmen: What has hap
pened to you gentlemen? Why have
you changed so much in IL weeks?
Look around you. Look at each
other. What you see is a picture OF
discipline that did not come easily.
It is proper that we should have
learned it the hard way. We will
keep it longer because Of that.
1.-THE Officer Candidate School
knows it's business on that score
and today We know it, too. Frankly,
I didn't know 1t when I came here
IL weeks ago. I didn't know what a
gig was then. Gentlemen, thought
it was something pulled by a horse.
I learned quickly it was something
pulled by an officer candidate when
his basic equipment would not pass
inspection.
1T was a good lesson. 1t doesn't
take fantastic Imagination to see
where a gig for a blunder or mistake
can lead. Gigs on a battlefield are
measured in terms of the blood OF
the men. You don't see it at first
perhaps, but it is the business Of the
OCS to see that you do by the time
you come to day like this.
while in this school I had the
good luck to run into a chap VINO
had seen discipline in action where
it means the difference between life
and death. He had served with the
Flying Tigers in Burma and China
asked him, a fellow who knew
