STATES RIGHTS
AND INSURANCE

3. Before the Senate now is
the Bailey-Van Mugs bill which
would exempt fire insurance
rate-making from regulation
under the Sherman antitrust
law, by declaring that insurance
is not trade or commerce, and
therefore not subject 10 control
as interstate commerce by the
federal government. The law
would, on the other hand, leave
fire insurance regulation entire
~ TO the states. Here the states
rights idea is used in an effort
TO block Department of Justice
action against the Southeastern
Underwriters Association. This
case is now before the Supreme
Court. In il, nearly 200 fire in
surance companies are charged
with conspirlng TO fix rates in
violation of the antitrust laws.
4. Before the House of Re-
personalities is the Lea civil avi-
alton bill, one of whose provi-
sions is exclusive federal regula-
ton of point-to- point air trans
portation for hire. In other
words, il would prohibit state
regulation of air commerce and
traffic, whether the flight be in
tra-state or interstate. The bill
does not prevent state or munich
pal taxation of aviation. nor does
1t prevent state or local govern
ment regulation of airports.
OBJECTIVE OF LEA BILL
All the act seeks TO do is avoid
the complication of conflicting
regulations by adjacent states
for planes in the air. At present
aircraft speeds, il is possible to
cross some states in matters of
minutes, and il is felt that maze
OF 48 aviation codes would be a
tremendous obstacle 10 the de-
velopment of postwar flying
Nevertheless, the opposition to
this provision of the Lea bill
comes from those who raise the
cry OF states rights" in opposi-
ton TO allowing the federal gov
eminent the right of uniform
regulation.
5. One of the principal argu-
ments raised against the propos-
al for federal sales tax in in
creased war revenues has been
that this would be an infringe
ment against the rights of the
states, many OF which derive
much of their income from state
sales taxes.
g. An argument frequently
raised against subsidies is that
they tend toward too much
federal RECOMMENDATION of agri-
culture, instead of leaving the
control over farming TO the indi-
vidual states.
Now all this rallying round
the tattered banner OF states
rights does not just happen. It
is natural reaction against too
much federal regulation during
the depression and during the
war. The protection against too
much Washington" in your daily
life may come in Swingback TO
more states rights. The question
is whether the cure is worse than
the curse.

As a veteran movie lot prowl-
or, I'll have TO confess that when
stars are not working, we hest
tate to visit the sets. The big
names provide the copy IN Holly
wood. But the other day we de-
cidcd maybe the little people of
Hollywood had colorful stories
10 tell, too. So yesterday we Wis
tied the set Of new filmusical,
"Trocadero, avoided the stars
and talked only to the bit play
crs and the people behind the
camera.
guess they we're as surprised
as we were. Anyway we discov-
crcd that your average star is
duh character compared to
movlc-t0Wn unknowns.
FIRST gentleman we met on
the set was Art Lasky, the ex-
heavy weight fig h ter who
boasts that he may have been
licked but never was Knocked
out Lasky retired from the ring
a couple of years ago when he
went blind. Stone blind. He
learned TO read Braille, acquired
a white and red cane and See
ing Eye dog. Then, after two OPP
crationS. his sight miraculously
returned.
Now he's an assistant camera
man and his cyesight is so good
he can Judge distance better than
anyone else on the set.
LaSky once tried TO sell his
story to Hollywood for a movie.
The producers told him: ITS a
great story, Art, but it's too fan
tas.ic. No one Will believe it.
WAv, WAY BACK TO 1911
The director of "Trocadero -
was William Nigh, who, back in
the silent days, was as big as
they come, both as star and di-
rector. Made his debut as COM
edian in Mack Sennett comedies
in 1911. and a few years later
set a Hollywood record by di-
rcctlng two Of the years 10 best
pictures.
Night recently directed Cor
regidor' for a quickie outfit in
eight days. He fought the battle
with only 30 Japs and 30 Ameri-
can soldiers. The whole thing
was filmed on single sound
stage. After il was all over, Nigh
was congratulated by his pro-
duction manager, Bart Care.
Il still don't believe it," Nigh
said.
Bobby Ray was the assistant
director. Bobby is the only guy
we know in Hollywood who ever
got a S50l -a-week raise because
ne liked gum drops. Bobby once
walked out OF production con-
ference in the heat Of an srgu-
ment over films cost. The pro-
Queer ran screaming after him,
yelling, Don't quit. Don't quit.
I'll give you a week raise"
Bobby accepted the raise, then
confessed he had no idea of
quitting. He just wanted to go
out and buy some gum drops.
The makeup man on the set
was Leo White, who played the
French count in all of Charley
Chapllns early comedies. Leo
started in films in Chicago in
1903. Until a few months ago he
was under contract TO Warner
Bros. at a small salary. 1t was
sort OF a pension. Then, because
Of the war, makeup men be-
became scarce. Now he's making
twice as much money.

and bring closer a successful enc
to this war. What bigger assign
ment, or what better accomplish
ment could anyone ask as a per-
sonal task for this war;"
He listed two ANSWERS" to the
manpower and production prob
lens
One, ITO increase production by
closer cooperation between man
agement and labor"
Two, "a rediscovery by a large
body of our nation that manual
labor is an upright calling, and that
in wartime there is no justifica-
ton for a white collar class as
such. or any other class if that
class does not contribute directly
to the war effort"
Mayor LaGuardia told the con-
ference that labor will have to
provide a great deal of original
thinking, and have the courage to
be fortnight" in its major role
Of planning the postwar economy.
He stated that labor would also
have to provide the ingenuity to
do away with seasonal work, &C
oept the theory of an annual wage
rather than a high per diem, and
to spread work to avoid conflict
between demobilized soldiers and
~ in the plants.
julius Hachman, manager of the
New York Dress Joint Board,
HGWU, urged the setting up by
organized labor of a public rela-
tons fund of 100000 to help
educate the public in labor prob
lens and place the cause of labor
properly before the nation.
J. B.. s. Hardman, president of
the Press Association, endorsed
the proposal Of HICKMAN in clos
ing the conference.
, 1943-03-03

The labor press editors and
writer's were told they were doing
an important job well, and would
have an important job to perform
after the war IN assisting in plan
ming the postwar economy, and
educating and informing the
workers. Several Federal agency
representatives participated in the
discussions.
Mr.. Patterson said: "Once we
thoroughly appreciate the facts
there is no line of demarcation
between the bench and the trench
between the machine worker and
the machine gunner, we will get a
proper perspective of the job we
have got to do In the field Of pro-
duction-
Il know of no group better
qualified to hammer home the
truths Of the situation than the
labor press. You speak for, and
you speak to, the rank and file Of
loyal patriotic workers of America,
who form the backbone Of the
nation-and the backbone of the
American Army"
He warned of a long war, not
likely to end Gin this year of
1913. Il is more likely that it will
come in 1914 or 1915"
false OPTIMISM" fostered by
sensational headlines and by the
magnifying Of small local war sue
cesses into major victories, was
cited by Mr. Bard a. q distinct
cause of voluntary absenteeism.
He suggested the subject Of alb
senteeism as "an assignment which

well to place at the top Of your
book for the duration. If you can
reduce or end this absenteeism
