Valley womanin
Riverside HispitaI

Mrs. Marie Labor6e. who operated
cafe at Bonds Corner south of
Holtville for many years, and her
niece, Miss Catherine Cornu of
Pomona, are in a Riverside hos
pital recovering from injuries suf-
fered Monday when their car went
over a so foot bank near Beau
mont.
Both women were badly shaken
but are believed to be recovering.
The accident occurred at 10 a. m.
Monday six miles west of Beau
mont on the Jackrabbit Trail. The
car lodged agains: sagebrush after
it plunged over the bank, officers
said.
Mrs. Laborde was pinned inside
the car Miss Cornu was thrown
out of the car and then pinned
beneath the front.
Mrs. Louise Cole, Mrs. Laborde's
daughter, went to Riverside to see
how her mother and cousin were
getting along.

A firJeen-year-old high school
junior with three million dollars
in the bank will spend her vaca-
tion this summer in her third mo-
ton picture comeback attempt in
as many years. Maybe you re-
member the lady. Her name is
Shirley Temple and not so long
ago she was the top money max
ing star in Hollywood-boX- -office
champion from 1895 to 1899.
The man who is betting he can
return her to boxoffice favor-witf
her career now entirely in his
hands-is the Hollywood producer
who takes chances only when he
knows he can't lose-shreWd David
o. SelZnick.
AS carefully planned by her
mother, Shirley survived the awk-
ward age SO dreaded by child stars
But mama and everyone else for
got to count on awkward pictures
and Mr.. and Mrs. Movie-goer.
Two comeback attempts-"Kath-
leen" in 1941 and Miss Annie
Rooney" last year-made little i'm
preston on the public. They were
not good pictures, and they con-
vinced Hollywood that Shirley was
washed up. The public was tireo
of her after seven years of stardom.
Her name didn't mean a nickel at
the boxoffice.
For year Shirley did nothing
on the screen, made an unsuccessful
foray into radio, but her mothers
hopes were not dimmed. While at
tending school, Shirley continued
singing and dancing and music les
sons, studied dramatics and took a
course in charm.
SELZNICK STEPS IN
Then, three weeks ago, Producer
David o. Selznick purchased the
screen rights to soon-to-be-pub-
lished first novel, Since You Went
Away" He could see only Shirley
Temple in the role of Brig, 15-year-
old daughter of a father who joins
the Army, leaving his wife and an
other daughter faced with financial
problems.
Selznick telephoned Mrs. Tenn
pie. No, he didn't want to star
Shirley in the picture. There
would be an all-star cast. Clau-

The Great Game Of Politics
Murroy and Green Support Lewis by Citing High
Living Cost and Calling for Wage Policy Change

giving him all the indirect aid they
can, waiting to see how much he
gains before plunging in with de-
mands Of their own. No other con-
struction reasonably can be placed
on their attitude.
II they wanted to weaken the
Presidents position and insure q
compromise with Mr.. Lewis they
could hardly have selected 4 better
way to bring 1t about. And while
they pursue this course, Mr.. Murray
and Mr.. Green never stop exudins
holiness, but keep praising them
selves for keeping their non strike
pledge.
Compromise in Prospect.
1t is all pretty revolving. Nor is it
made more palatsble by the recent
order Of Manpower Commissioner
McNutt forcing the steel industry
on 4 48-hour week, which means 4
really large wage increase for the
steel workers union, but without,
it is asserted by the companies, any
particular increase In steel produc-
ton. The claim is that this order
was given under C1O pressure and
that 1T gives to Mr.. Murray's big
steel union without a fight about
what Mr.. Lewis is demanding for
his coal union.
In the end it is generally agreed
that the administration will effect
some fAce-saving compromise with
Mr.. Lewis by which he will get not
what he has demanded, but about
what he expects.
1t Is also agreed that this will
mean further wage adjustments"
to meet the Murray Green demands.
I these Compromises" are made It
certainly will be followed by a farm
bloc effort to bring out and pass
again the vetoed Bankhead bill:
With the excuse gone that wages
are being held down, 1t Is doubtful
whether sufficient votes to sustain
another veto could be mustered.
Things have an ominous look. The
dificulties of holding the line" will
be increased by any concession or
compromise. The chances of being
caught in that upward spiral which
precedes uncontrolled imitation are
greater than they have been at any
time before.

British Art Treasure
Worth 375 Millions
Stored Underground
Stained Gloss Windows
Moved After Escaping
Domoee From Bombs
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.
Star Staff Correspondent

YORK, England tBy MaiD-
Stained glass windows valued at a
minimum Of s375,ooo, ,ooo-constitut-
ing perhaps England's greatest me-
dieval art treasure-have been re-
moved and stored safely under
ground after almost miraculously
escaping damage from German
bombs which have wiped out rows
OF houses near York Minister, the
country's most famous cathedral.
1t Is natural target in the bright
moonlight and removal OF the win
dows, a delicate job, has been slow
because Of shortage Of skilled help,
the archivist of the ancient shrine
explained. Now, he said, they are in
place where only a direct hit by a
big bomb possibly could injure them.
113 Windows Removed.
The minister's 1l3 windows would
cover three-fourths of an acre. and
the estimated value Is based on the
price offered for square foot Just
after the last war.
Fhey included the celebrated
Five Sisters Window" well known
from Charles Dickens description
in Nicolas Nickleby. The nve sisters,
according to the legend, frst wove

the design on tapestry, and it was
copied by the glassmakers. Dating
from the 18th century, this window
was restored in 1925 and loaded with
18th century lead which was taken
from one Of the closed monasteries
by Henry the Eighth.
Also safely underground, the
archivist explained, is the minister's
greatest literary treasure, 4 manu-
script copy of the four gospels pro-
duced some time before 1000. The
manuscript Is believed to have been
started by monks in Burgundy and
completed in England. With it are
18th and 18th century manuscript
Bibles and illuminated books OF
hours from the same period.
Closest Bomb = 'Dud."
The old cathedral, the archivist
explained, has been exceptionally
fortunate. Bombs have made al
most geometric square Of wreck
age in this part of the city. One
landed so yards agay from the
cathedral itself, but failed to ex-
plode. Otherwise it probably would
have shattered some Of the win

has received.
Two facts should be borne in
mind concerning this pair-nrst,
that they are enemies Of Mr.. Lewis,
who have been blistered by his
tongue and in turn have denounced
him without restraint; second, that
they are friends Of Mr.. Roosevelt,
avowedly 100 per cent" supporters
of both his foreign and domestic
policies, often parading their patri-
otism and advertising the services
and sacrifices of their labor factions.
Naturally one would expect Mr..
Murray and Mr.. Green to be re-
volted at the idea Of a coal-mine
strike, eager to use their weight to
frustrate Mr.. Lewis and strengthen
the President.
That was the only assumption
possible. But, have Mr.. Murray and
Mr.. Green acted in accord with that
assumption7 The answer is no. It
Is true they did not express ap-
proval Of the strike, but that did
not prevent them from giving aid
and comfort to Mr.. Lewis by but
tressing his case and supporting his
arguments.
Cite Living Costs.
They did this by issuing Joint
statements. at the most critical
period Of the controversy, insisting
that the cost of living for the
laborer is too high (Which is exactly
Mr.. Lewis contention), and by call
ing conferences to reconsider wage
policies" In addition, the Govern
ment was arraigned for It's failure
to roll back prices" or to hold the
line as the President had urged.
Moreover, Mr.. Murray personally
approved "portal-to- portal" pay for
the miners and then furiously in
dicted Economic Director Byrnes,
Price Administrator Brown and
Food Administrator Davis for their
failure" to prevent price rises and
for their refusal to allow the War
Labor Board to make further wage
adjustments" which, Of course.
means wage increases.
Aside from the utter hypocrisy of
pretending support of Mr.. Roose-
velt's policies and in the same
breath denouncing his personally
selected aides who are carrying out
these policies and acting under his
direction. 1t is clear that this is
playing Mr.. Lewis game.
Most Effective Aid.
In no other way could more effec-
tive assistance be given Mr.. Lewis
than by this Endorsement Of his case
by his labor enemies and rivals,
And 1t unquestionably is an indorse-
ment TO seize this particular mo-
ment to arraign the men whom Mr..
Roosevelt has put in the key posi-
tions and ordered to hold the
line" 1t unquestionably Is an in
dorsement to assert that wages
must be adjusted, to call a confer
ence to form a new wage policy and
to sponsor publicity about the fall
ure Of the Government to hold
down the cost of living.
What 1t all adds up to is that.
lacking Mr.. Lewis boldness, the
Messrs. Murray and Green are

riod. If the burden is considered too
heavy, the 1s4l rates could be ap-
piled to the 1912 tax obliga tions.
The Senate is expected to act
some time this week or next, because
the time Is getting short between
now and July l. when any withhold
ing plan would take effect. The
Republicans in the Senate expect
considerable Democratic support for
a modified version OF the Ruml plan,
The administration managed we'll
to control the Democratic repre-
sentatives in the House. The Re-
publicans held their line fairly we'll,
though the defections show omi-
nously that the Republican gains at
the polls last November do not mean
that Republicans follow their leaders
on matters that are close to party
issues.
