of character actors, eased his
282 pounds into a canvas chair
and sighed happily .-- but not

lax. What pleased him was that
the next scene TO be filmed
would be his last in the picture,
and then he'd be on the way to
his big ranch up in Oregon
where he could ride horseback
and get in some fishing.
Sitting there IN formal eve

fat to two rCaSOns-natUre de-
signed him to become that way
after a strenuous athletic ca
reer, and what food he eats is
the richest and finest. He does
his own cooking.
Cooking" says Palette, "is
the only essential art"
He has a great stock of fine
utensils, French blades and vac :.
uum-sealed spices and herbs. He
can cook in any language with
out looking at recipe. But he
is equally proud Of the miracles
he can perform with a few es-
sCntials such as flour and
beans and a hunk of venison.
Il started to learn cooking the
hard way" he recalled More
than 35 years ago l cooked on
a cow ranch; and another time /
cooked in a sheep wagon at 40
below zero for Is men,"
DETESTS DIET FIENDS
Much as he hates gluttons.
Palette diSlikes even more those
proudly emaciated individuals
who ask him why he doesn't
diet and reduce. To his stout
ness he owes at least part of
the credit for one of the bus
lest and best-paid acting ca
rccrS in pictures.
AS a youngster, Palette was a
circus tumbler, semi-pro base
ball pitcher, rider of race and
buCkIng horses, and ranch hand.
He became a juvenile and a
leading man in theatrical stock
companies, and after entering
movies in 1910 with the old
NCStOr company he alternated
between romantic leads in wes-
terms and heavy roles in under
world melodramas. When the
war came. he went into the Air
Corps weighing 1873 GmagineD
and had added only four pounds
when he was mustered out.
Right away, though, he be-
gan gaining bulk, and for
couple Of years he fought it
with trick diets, starvation, pa
tent noStrums, messages, eX-
crcjsc, steam baths, will-pow-
or and desperation.

retired for physical defects,
said to be q case Of general
breakdown, upset nerves, deof-

was in 1887. ChennouIt had

OVER SPECIFICATIONS

SAN FRANCISCO-The stork
came not once but three times to
a house on 21st avenue, so the
landlord raised the rent from
SAL to S4750 a month.
The parents complained to
the San Francisco fair rent COM
mittee.
The landlord countered that
when the tenants moved in six
years ago it was understood
they were to have but one child
at the SAL rental.
But the fair rent committee
sustained the parents complaint
and ordered the rent reduced to
its original level.

LET'S STOP THlS-FAST


odoys that the Ioynon cannot apply
intelligent perspective to the few mill
tory focts he does learn. Therefore it is
difficult to opproise properly the dis
turbine criticisms made by Col. Hugh
J. Knerr US.A, retired, in the June
American Mercury.
Colonel Knerr charges tIotIy that,
in spite Of promises made to the public,
our Supreme commanders" in the CO.
nal Zone, in the Southwest Pacific, OF
Pearl Hlorbor and other strategic places
ore being homstrung by split authority
and divided responsibilities.
These, he introtes, are potentially
as harmful as the IA phonse-Goston
disaster at Peon Horbor" They result
from the same indefensibIe jealousy
among the armed services that added
months or years to this war by permit
ting the Jops temporarily to wreck our
Howoiion fighting plant.
There is nothing academic about
the problem which Colonel Knerr dis
cusses. If what he soys, bosed upon
focts which have appeared in print or
ore quite generally known" is true,
we may be heading for another debocIe
worse even than Pearl HorbOr.
After Lt-Gen. Frank M. Andrews,
capable oirron, had been given full
responsibility" for defense Of the Canal
Zone, Colonel Knerr says, the Navy
went to work" and stripped him Of
control over certain outposts without
which the Canal cannot properly be
protected.
The Navy acquired command over
operations in the Wndword Islands
area, from Puerto Rico to Trinidad,
through which q hostile plane carrier
would have to sneak by daylight in
order to reach the Canal at night for O
dawn attack.
On the Pacific side, Colonel Knerr
claims to know that THE Navy has at
times even refused to give General An
drews information essential for his de-
Tense plans
General Andrews is responsible,
but does not control the scouting serv-
ices without which he cannot know
when and by what type and strength
Of force on attack is upon him.
General Macarthur has Supreme
commend" and full responsibility" in
the whole Australian sector. Colonel
Knerr argues that the likely japanese
approach is by way Of New Zealand.
So the New ZeoIond sector has been
given into Navy Jurisdiction.
Even in PeoH Horbor itself, Colo
mel Kneu alleges, there is q three-woy
split in command notwithstanding the
lesson we supposed we had learned
from the episode which resulted in
charges against Admiral KimmeI and
General Short.
If even holt Of Whot Colonel Knerr
states os published or quite generally
known" foct is true, no American can
rest easy until President Roosevelt
tokes drastic action.
This isn't game between Army
and Navy, with the losers goal posts as
prize This is toto war, for the survival
OF democracy in this world.

WILL WAGES STAY STABILIZED3

Board sold lost Monday that COMPETE
tive bidding by employers for war and
non-wor workers rs doing more to
drive up the general level Of wages and
income payments than all the conbin-
ed efforts Of union Leaders," He oP-
peoIed for firm restraint on increases
in wages, salaries, bonuses, and other
such payments"
Two or three weeks ago the freez-
ina or sterilization Of wages seemed
wholly matter Of checking union de-
monds. These demands are still being
pressed in some instances, notably the
case Of the Steel Workers Organic
ing Committee against the Bethlehem,
Republic, and Inland Steel companies
before the War Labor Board.
But the Board not long ago turned
down q poy-rise request for 100 work.
ers on motor and aircraft parts in the
Breeze Corporation plants in New Jer-
sey. And it announced an agreement
under which members Of the United
Automobile Workers employed by the
General Motors Corporation give up
premium payments for Saturday and
Sunday work if within forty hours q
week. At the same time the Depart
nent Of Labor reported q voluntary
agreement Of the building trades
unions in the American Federation Of
Labor to stabilize construction wages
for the duration Of the war; subject to
adjustment for "obnornoI change in
conditions" or living costs.
Three lines Of resistance now exist
against the spiroIing of prices through
increase in wage rates.
The first Of these is the War Lo-
Dor Board and the example it may set
by holding firmly against wage in
creoses in the cases which come before
it unless accompanied by utterly ex-
ceptionol circumstances. But q far
large proportion Of working contracts
are negotiated directly between en-
pIoyer and union than ever come be-
fore the mediation board.
At least one company q Colifor-
nio aircraft manufacturer, had indi-
coted q willingness to grant wage in
crease without recourse to the board
before President Roosevelt made q
statement against such policy. Un-
der stimulus Of war orders the ten
dency to bid at least for individual
services appears widespread Against
this must be maintained q second line
Of resistance.
Government purchasing outhori-
ties nigh reasonably consider that
disposition to be overeenerous in
wages, salaries, and bonuses - as in
the case told to the House Naval A.
fairs Committee of the $4,000 bonus
es paid by the Lincoln Electric Conn.,
pony Of Cleveland - is primo focie
evidence thot O company could sell its
product to the Government at O lower
price. More directly, there is the move
Of the War Monpower Commission to
limit transfers from plant to plant in
critical industries.
The third line Of defense is fiscal
ond indirect, but it may be even more
important than oil the rest. This con-
sists Of Ievying taxes and compulsory
savings that will draw off surplus pur-
chasing power end prevent it from bid
ding up prices which constitute the
cost Of living Il the cost Of living can
be kept stable there will be no reason
for pressure to upset the level Of wages
