Prospect of having Hedy Lemarr,
Betty Cradle and all the movie love-
lies close beside you some evening
in your own living room isn't so bad,
or so far off, according to Hollywood
insiders.
Which means they're talking again
Abut televiSion. Experts declare
most of the troublesome old bugs
have been shooed out Of television
and that it has now reached that
stage of development where it's
ready for all.
On a recent visit to Los Angeles
Niles Trammell, president of NBC,
said, "Television is all ready to go,
and awaits only the end of the war. q"
He said his company is ready for it
on network scale and, as soon as
practicable after the war, proposes
to begin network operations from
New York, Chicago and Los An
geles.
What will the film industry do
about television. Experts declare
the studios are grudgingly inclined
to tie up with it in every way pos
Eible.
Bitter experience is guiding them
In this attitude. They can't quite
forget the silly battle they-produc-
ers and exhibitors alike-put up not
10 many years ago when radio first
stepped in to challenge their su-
premacy In the amusement field.
They are pretty much resigned to
the fact that nature and science will
march on and any effort to dam
the tide would appear futile.
Some Act, Some Wait.
Although MGM has special tele-
vision research division and Is toll
ing feverishly to attain a dominant
position in the field when television
does come, Paramount is today the
studio best equipped to cope with the
enigma. That studio now has ma
jor holdings in three companies
which entirely span the television
field, and it broadcasts in this me-
dium twice a week from its Holly
wood lot. Other major companies
are not known to be doing much
more than keeping abreast of de-
velopments, or, in other words,
merely following policy Of watch
ing and waiting.
NBC has done no telecasting Of
any kind from Hollywood as yet, but
the company is going ahead in New
York with research and expert

HOLLYWOOD.
Hollywood, swollen with the lush
profits of the wartime boom at the
boxoffice. must be prepared to face
the crisis that will come with the
end Of the European hostilities.
After collecting profits on both
good and poor Aims, the industry
must prepare to assume its respon-
sibilities, and undertake making
films that may not be profitable.
Whether Hollywood film barons
are willing to do this may deter
mine not only the future Of the
American film industry, but also
the place Of the United States in
molding the post war world and
way Of life for countless millions.
Thinkers Look Ahead.
Thoughtful minds among Holly
woods leaders recognize that the
end of military strife in Europe
will be the beginning of an intense
struggle between Hollywood films
and the industries of European
nations who realize thoroughly the
propaganda value Of the motion pic

profits, but the welding Of the most
potent International propaganda

How to Influence
Congress ond.
Win the War
BY RUTH c X Local SOL

That well-known doctor OF
super-psycho apple polish who
made millions several years back
teaching Americans how to win
friends and influence each other
should come out of hiding and give
his efforts to a new problem.
How to influence congressman and
win the war.
That is the question. And a very
serious question to everyone Of
us. too, for in the last analysis,
our very wages, not to mention
the lives of our soldiers, r in
the hands of those congressman.
Does the tax program enacted by
congress affect our wages? You
won't deny it. But would it sur
prise any Ohioan to see Senator
Taft bring a new sales tax bill
into the picture within the next
few weeks? That's his specially,
soaking the little man to stake the
load off the corporations" as he
likes to put it.
Our Wages Affected
Does it affect our wages when
the farm bloc gets enactment of
measures which send food prices
sky-high? Let's quit kidding our
selves that the actions of con
gress don't affect us, and wake up
to the fact that this congress is
controlled by a coalition of south
ern poll-tax Democrats and reac-
tionary Hoover Republicans. Con-
gress as a whole is NOT behind
President Roosevelt and his win
the-war policies, even though the
people are and many congressman
are.
The people who have most
solidly declared themselves in
support of the Presidents poll
cies, the organized wage earners,
have become the punching bag for
this congress that thinks it's plenty
of fun to punch us, but bowls
bloody murder when asked to
take a poke at the real enemy.
FDR Program Ignored
The only point of the Presi-
dents seven-point sterilization
program which has been carried
out by congress SO far is the point
on sterilization of wages. There
is n good reason for this fact; the
manufacturers saw before hand
that the big wage fights which
used to take place in their con-
ference rooms with labor sitting
on the other side of the table were
going to be transferred to the floor
of congress. Their highly paid
lobbyists have been johnny-on-
the-spot ever since rounding up
votes for the boss. "Down with
wages, up with prices, squeeze the
little business man and farmer,
boost the big corporation and land
owner, shoot all the union organ
izers, and the hell with the war;"
That's the sort of impression we're
getting of the way our congress-
men talk these days. It is obvious
they are supporting the narrow
interests of a small percentage of
manufacturers, the most reaction
airy and powerful section which
controls the N. A. M. (National
Association of Manufacturers.
This is the sort of influence which
has undermined OUR CONGRESS.
Register, Then Vote!-
, 1943-05-13

There are a number of things
happening today that fairly make
the blood of every union man and
woman boil! The rises in prices,
the increased taxes on those least
able to pay, the directive orders
that seem aimed at the workers,
and the complacency of govern
mental agencies towards those evils
have aroused the ire of all Labor,
To those of us who are charged
with the responsibilities of pro-
tecting the rights of Labor, it is
hard to counsel our people in the
manner that we know is necessary.
1t is hard to face the worker whose
standards are being lowered with
price raises and the other things
that plague them. 1t is hard to tell
you that patience and work will
win"
The evils which I have men,
toned are the direct result of
sinister individuals who are taking
advantage of the patriotism of the
American workers to help destroy
the gains that have been made
through the efforts of organized
labor. Every Union member real
ICES that the word patriotism is
only strong among those who are
enjoying the rights of free Labor.
To enslave Labor, as some of the
reactionaries would like to do,
would destroy the meaning of the
word, and would be the surest way
to lose the war.
Strikes, shutdowns, and the
picket line have had their day.
No longer is there a right to
strike while we are engaged in
fighting for that very right. After
this wal is over and won there
may be different courses of action
to be taken, AND WE WILL TAKE
THEM! Now the only manner in
which we can defend both the
standards of the American worker,
and our nation, is to confine the
militancy of our fighting union to
the voting at the coming elections.
We failed to make our voice heard
at the last elections, and that is
the reason that has made the men
who would destroy u unions fol-
low the courses of disruption.
The greater part of your dues
dollar is being used to fight for
the things to which every Ameri-
can worker is entitled, but that
fight is useless unless YOU help
in the struggle. You can no longer
strike for your rights because to
do so would be striking against
yourself and your country, but
you can strike against the kind of
representation that you now have
in your government. Register now,
and then wait for the chance to do
your striking at the next elections.
Your dues dollar is fighting for
you. Make your VOTE do the
same!

Efforts to revise Executive Order
1923 (wage and job ~freeze) are
increasing, and there is a grow
ing possibility that some new and
improved interpretations will be
issued, especially as regards the
adjustment of inequalities and to
establish equal pay.
This is a time to renew, and to
increase the flood of kilograms,
letters, and postcards to the re-
sponsible administration and legis-
lative representatives, demanding
immediate correction of the I'M
fair and unavoidable executive
order Protests should be made
directly to President Roosevelt as
well. He must be advised of labor's
dissatisfaction. That is the only way
to counteract the ceaseless activ-
ity of the Farm (hunger) Bloc,
and the appeasers in congress who
are knitting labor, and the nation,
in the back.
The action of OPA to cut prices
on a few products, with subsidies
to the professors, is a step in the
right direction But it is such a
small step, and the way back to
May, 1912, prices is SO far, serious
unrest will develop unless OPA
really knuckles down to its job,
and stops pulling punches.
The broad program of member
ship activity, which is receiving
such widespread support by the
locals, through newspaper ads,
town hall meetings, delegations to
congressman, ETC., to drive home
to the general public, and the ad-
ministration, the immediate need
for au-out reduction of living
costs, and complete rationing Of
food products, is the key to sue
cess.
There are a few people who will
advocate direct action" to achieve
our goal. Such a curse will play
right into the hands of the labor
hating congressman, and furnish
them with necessary ammunition
to shackle our unions for the dura-
ton. Any work stoppage at this
time especially, while our own
soldiers, and those of our allies,
are about ready to begin the grand
offensive in Europe, cannot help
but hurt the cause for which we
fight the preservation of our
democratic institutions, and our
American way of life.
AS the big offensives open, for
the unconditional surrender of the
fascist butchers, we must ~reiterate
our pledge to completely and
Fundamentally support u ma
tons wal effort. In no way, how
ever, does this detract from our
role as defenders of the home
front. The right to offer construc-
tive criticism, in strong doses, and
to submit our unions program in
support of effective rolling back
of prices, a win-the-war wage
sterilization program, a fair tax
program (not the Ruml plan!) be-
comes a duty which must be as
stunned by our membership.

MAJOR DE SEVERSKY

THE temporary luIl in the
aerial attack on Hitler-held
Europe revived the discussion of
the old conundrum, Can air
power defeat Germany" and
the present resumption of large
scale bombardment is likely 10
give il new impetus.
The discussion is unfortunate,
especially from the point of
view of air power itself. When
put in such elementary terms,
the question makes very little
sense. 1t acquires meaning only
when we specify what kind Of
air power. how much of it, and
the tactics 10 be followed.
The fact that the Germans
failed in the Battle of ,Britain
was due 10 the inferior per-
Torrance Of their aircraft and
TO mistaken strategy. II did not
answer the question. Can air
power defeat the British Isles?"
BY the same token, should
Anglo American air power fail
10 knock Germany out of the
war, il will prove a lot about
the nature of our aerial often
sive and the character of the
enemy's defenses. but il will GER
tainly not dispose Of the conun-
drum.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %
w Clarence Buddington Kel-
land, with an impetuosity which
bespeaks the writer of romantic
fiction rather than the hard
headed and realistic politician,
has fallen with a loud crash
into the very midst of Cordell
Hull's propaganda to have the
Republican Party next year
adopt the Democratic Party's
foreign policy.

Women that the leaders of the

more naive. Nothing could
more clearly reveal Mr.. Kel-
lands shocking ignorance of the

Republican Party TO have a
hand in shaping THE ROOSE-
WELT FOREIGN POLICY?

the Roosevelt administration. of
which he is the premier, should
have its foreign policy rubber
