A CROSS SECTION
The regular trade of the Mel
rose Giotto includes good
many writer's, all definitely not
of the social type; also extras,
bit players, has-beens, press
agents, secretaries, musicians,
radio producers, electricians,
gatemen, grips and promoters.
A pretty good cross section of
Hollywood life. The dress ex-
tras, who always look more dis
tinguished than stars, give the
place tone. Costume extras, inn
pcrsonating Arabs, Indians, buc-
cancers and dancing girls, give
it atmosphere. Workmen in
shirtslceves add soup-con of
the doWn-to-earth.
There is an air of camaraderie
about the old haunt, but this is
leavened by the sincere attitude
of the walters, who see life
steady and see it whole. No
customer is always-right non
sense about them. If they think
you're wrong, they tell you so in
emphatic dialect, well sprinklcd
with unadulterated Jugoslavian.
FREE-HANDED NICK
Nick Slavich is the proprie-
tor, and there is no more be-
loved man in town. He feeds
broken down actors free, by the
dozen. He cashes his customers
checks with no questions asked.
And he's always lending money.
We know one press agent who
needed 500 in hurry one
night. to bail out friend. Nick
lent it to him. Another fellow
was a couple of hundred dollars
into the place. Instead Of de-
manding that he pay at once,
Nick came around and wanted to
know if the customer was short
on money. The customer was.
No work for weeks. Wife in the
hospital. Nick lent him $500
right there.
So what il his place doesn't
make the gossip columns. It's
still a fact that anyone who
hasn't been there hasn't seen
Hollywood.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
BY PETER EDISON

A name you are apt to see
more in the public prints from
here on is that of Roy F. Hend-
rickson, the Washington news
paperman who has been named
head of the Food Distribution
Administration in the new De-
partment of Agriculture setup to
handle the nations food prob
lens.
Mr.. Hendrickson is the new
fair-haired boy of the depart
ment, literally and figuratively.
He will be 80 years old come
Dec 20, and on the shoulders of
his 200-pound frame has been
draped the mantle of authority
over the most important phase
of this whole wartime food prob
lem. Planting the necessary
acreage is a comparative cinch
for the American farmer, and the
technique of rationing is in a
fair way of being worked out.
But in between production and
rationing, foods have to pass
through all the bottlenecks of
harvesting and transportation to
market, slaughtering, canning,
dehydrating, freezing or other
wise processing, ALLEGATION TO
armed services, Lend-Lease, oc-
cupied countries and American
home consumption. That is the
problem of food distribution and
that is where Roy Hendrickson,
the boy from st. Ansgar, Iowa,
had better be good as Secretary
Wickard's assistant.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-12-14
TROUBLES KEEP
ROLLING ALONG

The mere fact that full re-
sponsibility and control over the
nations food program has been
placed in the hands of Secretary
of Agriculture Claude r. Wick
ard doesn't mean that by Jan. 1,
sooner or later, all your food
troubles will vanish. This is Just
a beginning. Secretary Wickard
says he never has believed in
having food GEAR" such as
there was in the last war. He
has believed in having someone
in the Department of Agricul-
ture setup in charge of the food
program. That's just what ne
got but when he says he doesn't
yet know the answers. he is tell
ing the truth.
There is supposed to have
been somewhat of a Washington
tussle between the Department
of Agriculture and the War Pro-
duction Board over who should
control the food program. WPB
Chairman Donald NJ. Nelson
wrote a letter to the White
House some weeks ago, saying
that food control should reside
in his department, but when the
Presidents executive order gave
control to Wickard, Nelson is
supposed to have been vastly re-
lieved. He had asked for con-
troll over food only because his
advisers and brain ruster
thought that would be the best
setup, with all authority in one
lap.
WPB will still have indirect
control over food production
through its control over the met
ais going it no farm machinery,
food processing machinery,
chemicals in fertilizers, tin for
cans, and so on. But all the
headaches of food control now
pass to the Department of Agri-
culture. And the biggest of its
headaches will be these prob
lens of food distribution in Mr..
Hendrickson's new department.
NO. / PROBLEM
First job, perhaps, will be to
win over the food professors
and distributors, the packers and
Gamers who have been almost
solidly aainst putting control
over their industry in the De-
partment Of Agriculture. 1t was
their idea that a man from the
industry should be put in charge.
Hendrickson plans to have vari-
Gus industry advisory commit
tees and deal with the professors
through these committees.
The food products on which
completely new distribution sys-
TENS will have to be worked out
are meats, canned goods and
dairy products. Allocating the
available supply, dividing it
equitably between the civilian
and military demands, then see
ing that within the civilian al
lotment every community has its
share in proportion to its popu-
lation and still further down the
line that no one store will have
more food stocks than it has Gus
tomers-there you have a prob
lem to tax the ingenuity of the
gods.
Hendrickson has been hand
ling food problems directly for
only Is months. Since Febru-
airy he has been head Of the Az
ricultural Marketing Admins
tration, which has bought over
So billion worth of food for vari-
Gus government accounts.

EoUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK

The claim will be made that, in this field at least,
the WLB has octed to terminate ndefensble
double STANDARD. To on extent that is correct. But
there are qualifications which can hardly be recog-
nized in enforcement.
If women as q whole worked on the same basis
as men, beyond doubt they should receive identical
poy for identical work. Unfortunately for the employ
Ct, they do not.
A large proportion Of women take jobs merely to
support themselves until they married. Those who
continue working otter marriage in many instances
are distracted by home duties There is always the
probability thot at q time over which the employers
convenience has no control, the woman worker will

Labor turnover, tordness, absence from the Job

More Testimony Due
in Dodge Inquiry
Coroner's Jury Soon
TO Sift Evidence

DETROIT, Aug. 81 - (P) -
A handful of witnesses remain
ed to testify today in the John
Duval Dodge inquest before the
maze Of detail concerning the
fatal last escapade of the 49,
year-old son of multi-million-
aire automobile maker is ready
for the coroner's jury that will
determine the causc of his death,
A police witness told yester-
day of manhandling Dodge in a
precinct station scuffle follow
ing his mistaken seizure as a
prowler, but denied using I'M
due force. Prosecutor William
E. Bowling told the jury in an
opening statement of the case
that a ten-inch fracture at the
base of Dodge's skull was caus-
ed, in all probability, when he
struck his head on the police
station floor.
Il used only enough force,
pinning Dodge's arms from be-
hind, to get him into the ser
geants' room and to force him
TO sit on the floor" Patrolman
Alex Gabriault testified yester-
day. Then he kicked out his
legs and fell backward and hit
his head"
Again and again the officer
denied he had struck or beaten
Dodge in removing him from the
precinct stations assembly room
where, other witnesses had testi-
fled, Dodge had become profane
and abusive.
