perhaps the most fabulous OF all

that was before the days of high

But Toms ansions and
ieweled saddles were not all his
life story-not by a long shot.
He had been with Teddy Roose-
velt's Rough Riders" in the Gu
ban campaign, and as a u. S.
marshal he fought it out with
many bad men. The actor who
plays Tom will literally have 10

IKalmar, in Corn Is Green,'
Born Amid Stage Scenery
By COLLEEN mcdonnell

While working with Miss Cor
nell he was glimpsed by agents
who were seeking an understudy
for Richard Waring in The Corn
Is Green" He got the job. That
was last February. now Kalmar
has become as notable in the role
as Waring.
The latter has since been
tested for the part of George
Gershwin, and has signed a con-
tract with one of the major pic
ture studios. Bert says:
Sometimes 1 look across
the stage at Miss Barrymore
and think you are working
opposite THE Ethel Barry

She is one of the truly great
ladies of the stage"
DIALECT DIFFICULT
Bert found a mastery of the
Welsh dialect a trifle difficult,
but the choral master of the
show was a true Welshman. who
helped him with both the dialect
and Welsh phrases. AS you know,

Kalmar has the role of the Welsh
miner in the Barrymore play.
Asked if he was embarrassed
by frequent questions about his
long hair, which is necessary to
the part, he related that he was
disturbed when he first began 10
play the part. About three months
ago, against the strict orders Of
Miss Barrymore. he cut his
browning glory. He received such
a lecture from a formidable Miss
Barrymore that he has never VEN
tured TO cut his hair since then.
Kalmar is a handsome fellow
with a great deal of talent. He
will undoubtedly 90 far.

Many of the whites questioned
admitted having thought little
about the question of Negroes at
the peace table, but when pressed
for a stand usually expressed the
feeling that no special provisions
should be made for Negroes since
they will be represented by the
regular American delegation.
SOUTH AGAINST IDEA
Regarding the problems of racial
discrimination, most felt that this
was primarily a domestic issue for
America that had no place for dis
cuSsion at the peace conference.
Another group, mainly in the
south, was outSpoken in placing re-
plies on a purely discriminatory ba-
SIS claiming Negroes were inferior
and should not be given any equal
status in peace deliberations.
The results sectionally showed:
North:
Yes, IS per cent; No. 81 per cent,

Discrimination
Charge Is Denied
By Civil Service

WASHINGTON. D. Ca N Pr
Nearly 1000 employees of the war
bond division of the war depart
ment, mostly Negroes, may find
themselves without jobs in spite of
years of service in some instances
unless either they or the civil SER
vice commission can find new places
for them.
The situation develops out Of the
movement Of the entire division,
originally comprising about 1000
person to Chicago. According to a
Major Parker, office of the chief
of finance, about sixty per cent of
the original force were colored.
An effort was made to check
whether or not there had been any
discrimination in effecting the
transfer of any of this personnel as
had been charged by some. The at
tempt brought denial from H. L.
Buckardt. representative in charge,
civil service commission, and his
aide, Robert HALEY. Major Parker.
however, did say that there had been
considerable concern over the ques-
ton.
Figures obtained from Mr.. Buck
ardt showed that the actual number
of person not choosing to go to Chi
cago was 1850 of which about 258
had been placed in thirty different
government agencies.
The discrimination charge was
levelled at the manner in which per-
sonnet was being selected. For
white employees it was said that the
personnel officers of other agencies
were satisfied to make decisions on
the basis Of their form 81, the orr
ginal application of the worker. On
the other hand, Negro employees
were submitted to a placement
interview which made a personal
inspection possible. In this way
many have been left on the "wait-
ing list
The commission explained that all
persons not placed are being car
ried on the payrolls so long as they
have annual leave, but that unless
they did find jobs by June 80, they
will be out of luck. Of course, Mr..
Buckardt said, they go OH list and
are eligible for reinstatement
