Arrogance and nastiness domin-
nate the Good Will Hour" pro-
gram, as conducted by the presum-
ing Mr.. Anthony who isn't as bril-
liant and intelligent as his glib
ness implies.
We're particularly impressed by
his performance presented during
last Sunday evenings program in
which a most sincere young lady
approached him for his advice af
ter she related how she was threat
ened by her superiors If she dared
to divudge to the Office of War
Administration that the depart
ment in which she was working
was mismanaged. She went on to
exploin that during the several
weeks after which she had been
appointed to that particular depart
ment, she had nothing particular
to do but sit around like SO many
others who appeared to be enjoy
ing their fiesta of laziness at the
pense of our boys who are over there
waiting fir their fighting equipment.
In his effort to be patriotic, he
accused the sincere young lady of
not knowing where of she speaks.
He wished to impress her with
his sarcasm that she was making a
fool of herself.
On the contrary, his sarcasm and
decision in her case made him
appear the utter fool. He should
have advised the girl, whose sim
certify was not to be doubted, to
take her story to the DIVA, or, bet
ter still, the FBI. They are the
better judges of any conditions in
our factories - mott he radio fire
side chatter whose decisions are
controlled by a chauvanistic tenn
permanent.
Persons desiring unbiased de-
cisions of their problems and who
feel they must be tried by judges
of the .airwaves; should consult
Mr.. Alexander who conduct the
Mediation Board" program. NJ.
Alexander does not assume COM
plete responsibility over any cases
that come up before the tribunal.
He always has three or four prom
inent men or women who have made
it their life's work as curatOrS of
human relations.
We have never questioned the
judgment of the Mediation Board.
Vera Vague, Bob Hopes mad
man-hunter, finally got her man.
(He really got HER).
He is Norman Morrell, former
stanzas.
Miss Vague-lovely Barbara Joe
Allen in real life-became Mrs
Morrell week ago at Yuma, Ariz.,
it was revealed today.
Yes, readers, your comments on
my column make me realize now
that you are more careful readers
than I have been led to believe.
I'm happy to say that 1 was not re-
sponsible for the grammatical error
you discovered in one of my par
agraphs printed here last Thurs
day about Clifton Webb, the Broad
wayite. In 1t we talked about Vim
cent Connolly of Mary Margaret
Mcbride fame, but it was later in
correctly reprinted Vincent Con-
molly of Mary Margaret McBride's
fame" over which we have no con-
troll.
Granted, 1 write the column, but
I do not produce the transcription.
However, 1 ask you to forgive those
who are responsible for the error
as prevailing conditions make II
difficult these days to be too care
full over matters such as this. I'm
sure you can sympathize with the
knowledge of the labor shortage
which is detrimental to first quail
ity production.
You also asked il Mr.. Connolly
is the famous Paramount News
announcer. He Is. (Thanks fex
your interest-GJ; XII; PM.
First question of folks who see
the Victory Through Air Power
film concerns the identity Of the
beauty In the photo framed on
Major Alexander de Seversky's
It's the only photo among all the
maps and globes In the scene, and
many suspect it's new glamour
star being developed by the studio
MICS Mary Margaret Mcbride
