Boston POST"
Compliments
Go Farley

BOSTON-The CLIO ought to be
congratulated for the business
like way it conducted the recent
5th annual convention, the Boston
Sunday Post commented editorial
ly the day after the parley closed.
Here's the text of the Post edi-
toria1:
The Congress of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS is to be congratulated
upon the conduct of the national
convention just closed in Boston.
It set a standard for all con-
ventions in its business-ike dis
patch of convention matters, IN
the harmonious convention ses-
sions and in the policy enunciated
for the coming year.
Labor leaders can recall old
time labor conventions, with the
incessant wrangles and inept pro-
cedure. Every observer of the
Boston convention, outside of the
ranks of labor, marvelled at the
results achieved by the CLIO and
at the clear-cut statement of the
organizations policy IN national
affairs.
Business leaders may not agree
with the CO and its policies, but
they would have to admit that
the organization makes many en-
ployers' organizations look rather
ponderous when conventions are

Effective Nov. q, 1912, the
Army and the Navy will not &C
cept for voluntary enlistment es-
sential employees in the aircraft
and shipbuilding industries within
the preceding 60 days." Gen. Her
shey's telegram said.
"Since this action has been taken
to protect the aircraft and ship
building industries from an I'M
controlled loss of essential en-
ployees, local boards have a major
responsibility to carefully and
promptly determine whether or
not a release will be issued upon
request to a registrant wishing to
enlist.
"A local board should refuse a
release to any registrant who is,
or should be classified in Glass L
3 or lib and who is employed
in the aircraft or shipbui1ding in
dustries. This would not preclude
the release of a registrant who is
or should be classified in Class
lib but who does not qualify
as a necessary man. Local boards
likewise should refuse to release
any ~registrant who within the pre-
ceding go days has voluntarily left
or resigned a position IN which
he was engaged as a necessary
man in either of such activities"
Selective Service officials ex-
planned that this is not a blanket
deferment of workers in these in
dustries who will continue to be
called for military service as they
are needed and as they can be
replaced IN essential jobs.
The Army and Navy, at the di-
rection of the President, have also
ceased accepting voluntary enlist
ments of deferred Federal en-
ployees, including workers in Navy
yards, Army arsenals, and other
government war production plants,
unless the Federal agency which
employs them has certified to the
recruiting agency that such vol
unteers can be spared from their
jobs.

HOLLYWOOD, March 9-Of
all the places in which young
actor might acquire needed sea-
soning, Jeffrey Lynn probably
found the best, for him, when he
went into the Army.
Lynn was a shy introvert,
and therefore phenomenon in
the acting business. Hollywood
didn't understand him, and he
never was quite able to orient
himself in Movietown, or even at
the studio. He never took part
in the gags and wisecrackery
around the sets or in the cafe,
apparently because he didn't
want to raise his voice and at
tract attention.
Walking across the lot, he al
most never spoke first to people
whom he had known for years.
And he had peculiarly literal
mind. If you were to greet him
with a casual "Hiya, jeff" he'd
stop and make a studied reply
explaining just how he was.
FLIPS GOT HIM
Some of the flip little actresses
used to rib him mercilessly,
and this hurt him because he
must have known that he was
not unattractive, but simply that

THE JACOB JONES

The United Stotes Navy hos lost
two destroyers named Jacob Jones,
but it is still good fighting name. 1t
is q name which brought much glory
to the Navy and to officers and crews
Of the two destroyers. This first Jacob
Jones was sunk Dec. 6, 1917, With q
loss Of 81. The second Jacob Jones
went down off New Jersey, Feb. 70,
1912, pounded by on enemy submo-
rine with more than 100 sailors dying
for their country.
Few persons may know, however,
thot the jacob Jones for whom the
ships we're named wos quite hero in
his own right. After giving up the
study Of medicine for low, he left both
professions in 1879 to sign on as q
midshipmon on q naval vessel which
fought the Borbory pirates. He was
their prisoner two years, but escoped
to become one Of the hordest-hittine
commanders in the War Of 1872, cop
turing on enemy ship and eventually
squorine accounts with the pirotes.
1t would be fitting if another de-
stroyer we're named for this fighting
man to deoI out vengeance for the loss
OF the other jacob Joneses and their
gallant crews.

with Hollywood people. He's
probably in the best physical
shape right now of any recruit
that the Army has taken out OF
the screen colony.
Right up to the day he re-
ported at the induction center,
Lynn wasn't aware that he had
any real friends or well-wishers

of the truth he was is something
you couldn't even guess by look

MEREDITH MOVES OUT
Burgess Meredith also joined
the Army the other day, and the
sendoff given him reminded me
of a story about time when he,
too, believed that he didn't have
many friends.
He went to Amherst College
on scholarship in 1926, but had
to drop out and work when he
discovered the scholarship en-
titled him to study, but not to
eat. A year later he was back
again, determined to make a go
of it. He washed dishes, tended
furnaces, sang in choir. He al
so was snubbed socially and was
desperately lonely. That year
was such a bitter experience he
vowed to be revenged some day.
Ten years later Meredith was
an acting sensation on Broad
way, and had just made new
hit in Maxwell AnderSon'S WIN
terset" when Amherst invited
him to address the students.
With Anderson's help he pre-
pared a speech that expressed all
the bitterness and resentment he
once had felt.
When the day came, Meredith
sat with faculty members on the
dias of the auditorium and
heard the president introduce
him by recalling the obstacles he
had overcome and by telling
how proud Amherst was of the
actor. Applause Numbered as
Meredith got up and stood there,
waiting to begin. When an at
tentive silence came, Meredith
didn't say anything. He just
burst into tears.
