Go. AFL. Renew
No. Strike PLEDGE

WASHINGTON, June &c. CUP)-
The heads of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and the Congress of
Industrial Organizations today re-
neWed their no-strike pledge and
told President Roosevelt they hoped
it Wou'd not be necessary for the
government to use the new anti
strike law.
There was no comment, however,
from the United Mine Workers,
whose repeated coal strikes precipi-
tated enacement of the drastic law
over Mr. Roosevelt's veto. The
UNIV is not low affiliated with Ell
ther of the labor organizations, but
has applied for readmiSSion to the
AFL.
IN LETTERS
The renewed no-strike pledges
were given in letters sent to the
White House by President William
Green of the AFL and President
Philip Murray of the CIO.
Green wrote that the officers and
members of the AFL will do every
thing in their power to make appli-
cation Of this law unnecessary and
to further the successful proSecu-
ton of the war"

dent declared:

Some Confusion
Over a Word
At Rehearsal
HOLLYWOOD.

11oib VooO.
1t was a clever bit of dialogue
Director Irving Rapper brewed for
sequence in Animal Kingdom, :"
but once the scene was before the
camera Rapper would have given a
lot to be able to forget it.
The script has Marjorie Gateson,
who plays f1uttery dowager, mis-
pronounce jalopy by calling it ia
poly. Jack Carson, wise-guy butler,
Is supposed to correct her but Rap
per thought it might add to the fun
# Carson's tongue slipped and the
word came out jal-oopy. Then Miss
Gateson could say that of course
she meant all along to say jaly-po
and Carson could finally get the
word out correctly.
In rehearsal it went pretty good
but by the time the camera rolled
the two players tongues were on a
merry-go-round. The word became
variously paloopy. jalody, palypo and
once even jello. The sound man said
the whole thing sounded like a
graded foreign patois.
Maybe" said Rapper quietly, "we
should go back to the script and do
1t the easy way"
Now said Carson, you've cook
ing with jass."

MGM was slightly amazed, as
they hadn't signed even Loper him
self at that point, but Maxine got
the works. Now the studio goes
about starry-eyed at her perform
ance.
He did the same high-handed
stuff in getting his own contract.
This bit of paper and the fact that
his options come every two years
instead of the usual six months
have his agent in state of coma,
incidentally. So did Loper's calm
statement, "If you don't want to
give me what ask for, I can always
go back to New York and make
that much money" He could. MGM
knew it. He got what he wanted.
He first came to Hollywood after
Paramount had deluged him with
wires insisting he catch the next
plane. Loper broke his neck to reach
the coast and Lady in the Dark"
Then the studio let him sit for
seven weeks.
During this period, he was an
unhappy man. The one thing Loper
hates is not to work. Il have too
much energy to sit around" he
says. I've got to use it somewhere"
The Hollywoodians who saw him
through this seven weeks probably
think he will cut no ice in town.
They have never seen Loper either
at work or in a serious mood.
He is complete fatalist and he
also believes in reincarnation.

the world premiere of Puccini's La

and 43 performances in 1898 at
the International Fair at Turin.
In 1898 he conducted Wagner's
die Meistersinger" in Milan and
began an occasionally interrupted
series with the Scala troupe that
terminated with tour of the en-
tire organization to Vienna and
Berlin in 1929. Many Americans
remember the famous seven seasons
Toscanini spent at the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York, between
1908 and 1915. After World War I,
IN 1920 and 1921, he toured the
U. S. A. with an Italian orchestra
which later became the nucleus of
the new orchestra ct the reorganized
Scala Theater. He performed 1874
American concerts and made his
first records at the Victor plant in
Camden, N. J.
Starting with the 1856 sea-
son, he divided his work between
the Scala in Milan and the New
York Philharmonic Symphony. He
took the American orchestra on a
European tour in 1880.
In 1886, Toscanini made his final
appearance with the New York
Philharmonic and went into semi
retirement in Italy. The concert
ended with ovations unprecedented
