At Stamford Gu

Miss Ann L. Gould, Connecticut

War Production Board, will speak
at the Stamford Central Labor Union
Friday night. August z. A representa-
tive of the Conn. Fed. of Labor will
introduce her. Miss Gould discussed
conversion this week with the mem
bers of the Norwalk Central Labor
Union after Thomas Shea, assistant
secretary of the Federation, disposed
of the forma1ities. Thomas Yoczik,
Gu secretary, will meet with Miss
Gould in Hartford soon to discuss
further the possibility of eliminating
unemployment which is serious in
Norwal<, through the conversion of
small plants.
Although the meeting was an open
one and Yoczik had expressly in
vited all groups interested in solving
the problem of conversion, none of
the small plant arrangements were
represented. The meeting, however,
was well attended by all other sec
tons of the population.

sters. Immediate detectives of
the drive are all Bridgeport
furniture drivers, Stamford
building trades and wholesale
grocery and meat drivers.
BOrzain is arranging a meet
ing with the Stamford Build
ing Trades Council to enlist
its support in signing up the
building trades truckers.
WORK ON GRIEVANCES
Both organizers are busy straight
ening out grievances in Bridgeport
barns, namely, Maskin's, First Ma
tional warehouse and Lombard's. The
main firms aimed at in Stamford, out
side of the building trades, are Epstein
& Evans, wholesale grocer; and SIAM
ford Dressed Beef.
The long delay in signing new
building trades contract in Bridgeport
is due to absence of o046 of the build
ing trades drivers who are working
out of town with Bridgeport con-
tractors. The Sharp Mossop drivers
are working in Newburgh, N. Y;
Sillinan Godfrey men in Binghamton,

CRAWFORD LODGE
Hayes also reported that the
negotiating committee of the Bran.
ford Lodge, No. 1896, met this
week with Representatives of the
Atlantic Wire Co. to discuss the
new wage scale, under the special
clause in their contract. The men
seek $l.l5 daily wage increase
and also aim to remedy the abuses
of the bonuses paid for piece work.
This increase, Hayes stressed, is
absolutely essential to stabilize the
wages of the Atlantic employees, for
such an increase would then bring
these rates up to the prevailing
scale. The Lodges contract COM

To Change Titles
HOLLYWOOD

HULL WOOO.
Still stunned and unable to
grasp the full portent OF Friday
nights tragedy, sorrowing
screen colony was rejecting
today on the grimly coinciden-
tai titles given pictures on
which Carole Lombard and her
husband, CLARK Gable. were
working.
Carole had just finished ITO
Be or Not to Be-" described as
a "rollicking dramatic comedy"
It had been directed by Ernst
Lubitsch for United Artists re-
lease. The star had been ad-
vised to be ready for possible
retakes this week. The film
was to have been sneak-pre-
viewed for the first time last
Saturday night.
Somewhere I'll Find You"
was the tragically significant
title Of . picture Gable had
started work on that fatal Fri
day.
Plans for the production OF
Gables film naturally are dis
rupted for an indefinite length
Of time. United Artists may
drop its release date on Carole's
film back q couple Of months.
One point Is certain: Both
titles will be changed. H. H.

HOLLYWOOD.
Eddie Bracken is something OF q
directors pet. He keeps his fellow
actors from getting bored with their
work-by making them laugh and
by soaring the daylights out of them.
Boredom within the cast Is movie
production problem, because it shows
up readily In the performances.
And there was danger Of ennui In
the making of "Out Of the Frying
Pan"
The filming would take 10 weeks
Unusually long for q picture Of its
type. Eight of those weeks would
be spent on one set. Adapted from
a stage play, the picture places most
of its action In the living room of q
small apartment.
"The frequent change OF set. Of
the average picture does much to
keep the cast from getting tired Of
ITSELF" says Director Edward H.
Griflth.
Eight weeks on one, set could
have been quite dif1cult. But Brack-
en- has been big help, keeping every
one interested"
The cast includes such undeniably
interesting persons as Robert
Benchley, Susan Hayward, Martha
ODriscoll and Bill Holden. But it
has been the on-and-od screen
antics Of Bracken that have kept
them entertained.
The other day Eddie was imper-
sonating Napoleon In the manner
Of Charles Boyer-with q mighty
puckering Of his rouged lips. For
other scenes he has impersonated
George Arliss, . Southern hillbilly,
Othello and . butler-each with con-
sidersble clowning between scenes.
Bracken says he believes In hav-
ing tln but thinks Q little compe-
tition does more than anything else
to improve acting morale. He frank
ly warns his co-workers he's going
to try to steal sscenes, then osten
carries out his threat. e
There was q scene where Bill
:Hol1el1'and I had to race across this

"On the first take, We botA ran

ION the second, Bill jumped over
