War Chest
Aids Three
Fronts

A recent report from the Ma
tional War Fund, received by Rich
ard Lazette. local director of the
CIO committee for American and
Allied War Relief, called attention
to the fact that funds from the
Greater Toledo Community Chest
are helping the national organiza-
ton TO support activities on three
fronts, including the military front,
the United Nations front and the
home front.
The reports also explained the
work Of the Unitel Seamen's Serv-
ice. which is now affiliated with
the National War Fund and there
fore receives financial support from
the Toledo Chest. To aid the men
Of the merchant marine, the United
Seamen's Service is now maintain
ing rest and recreation centers m
various ports throughout the world.
Seamen Aided
"These men of the merchant ma
rine must face possible attack from
air, surface and undersea raiders. ="
the report states. Practically every
man has been under fire, and many
have survived several torpedo at
tacks. To restore the shattered
nerves and broken health Of these
men, the United Seamen's Service.
with its trained staff workers, CO.
operates with the War Shipping
Administration in providing con-
valescent centers, so that the men
may resume their tasks as soon as
possible"
It is believed that when the full
story Of the war is told, everyone
will realize how much depended on
the merchant seamen who make
these hazardous trips to carry sup
plies to the fighting forces.
Contributors Will Be Pleased
In the meantime, Mr.. Lazette
explains. leaders Of the Chest and
Of organized labor are confident
that Chest contributors in the To-
ledo area will be pleased to know
that funds from the local c h
help TO provide health and recrea-
ton facilities for the merchant ma
rines, through the United Seamen's
Service.
Mr.. Lazette recently was appoint
ed to membership in the Ohio Divi-
sion of the National War Fund,
which will set a quota for the
amount to be raised in the Greater
Toledo area this fall, for the Ma
tional War Fund. In addition to
this quota, which will include funds
for USO, War Prisoners Aid and
war relief organizations, the local
Chest will be expected to raise an
amount sufficient TO meet the needs
of the local health and welfare
agencies which the Chest supports
in Toledo, Mr.. Lazette said.

UAW-CIO
Loses TO
Old Dutch
Errors Contribute To
Locals Downfall

Old Dutch took the Local 12
Federation team in tow behind the
cjght-hit pitching of Pitcher Ev-
renis, aided and abetted by four
Local II errors and hits that could
have been put-outs.
Bob Burkart, who contributed
the first win for the Local II lads
with nice bit of nine-inning re-
lief hurling, last Sunday was the
victim of the Old Dutchmen. The
boys chalked up seven hits and six
runs in the five innings Burkart
toiled, and got three hits and no
runs off the delivery of young
Moor, who replaced Bob in the
sixth inning.
Moor Looked Good
Young Moor looks like conner
for the Local IL team. Although
he was pitching his first fedora
ton game he handled himself like
veteran with just enough wild
ness to keep the beermen from
getting themselves too well set at
the plate. The lad is still a high
school student and should go places
in the federation if the army
doesn't nail him first.
Whitley Baxter, Local II short
stop, was the outstanding defensive
star, contributing several sparkling
plays that cut off hits and runs
when they would have done con-
siderable damage.
Mccarthy did good job on the
initial sack for the Old Dutch
team, turning in a number of ex-
cellent stops that would have done
credit to major Lacquer.
Local 12's next game will be
July A at Merrill Field against the
Coast Guard Nine.

citing and believable in it's
qualities as entertainment,
RKO can be credited with
probably the most important pic
ture yet made about the war.
Dudley Nichols is the writer and
producer, Jean Renoir the director,
and Charles Laughton the princi-
pal player of "This Land Is Nine"
The story is about small towns
awakening to the need of resis-
tance to its Nazi occupation.
Nature of Native Fascism
The drama here is not the con-
flee between citizen and soldier,
but between citizen and citizen. It
is in the realization by two school
masters and a girl teacher that
their worst enemies are among
their own people. And before the
second man is shot he has madI
the citizens see that the colIabora.
tionists, from mayor to town
butcher, are ready for any peace
with profits.
The mastery story telling by
Nichols and Renoir draws subtle
force from the nature of its cast
ing. The players are not foreign
types. They look and talk and re-
act like people we know. The scene
is foreign only in architecture. For
its people it might be England or
the U.S.A.
America Is Already Invaded"
This adds weight to the Nazi
commanders boast that America
! is already invaded" that America
has its labor-baiters, its black
marketeers, its ration evaders, its
business minds ready for any sort
of peace that would perpetuate
their vantage.
AL this is stronger meat than
our public IS used to chew on.
Let's hope "This Land Is Mine"
does more than just average busi-
ness-that it reaches 80 million, so
million.
When you see it, watch to be
sure the Nazi's words about the
potential collaborationists in Amer
lea have not been tampered with.
They will offend many interests.
1t would be quite possible to dam
age print accidentally or other
wise so that remark or two would
be eliminated. Should such a thing
happen TO any print Of this film,

M-G-M, after all its talk o. film
ing "Cry Havoc" without adding
any allurement to the all-feminine
cast, has had a slight change of
heart. Originally the studio an
nounced plans to film the screen
version Of the noted stage play
with the all-woman cast Of 13,
minus coiffures and makeup and
garbed only in soiled dungarees.
However, now three Of the 13 get
break. Ella Raines, Diana Lewis,
and Fell Franchelli will be pic
tured taking swim in a Bataan
stream wearing bathing suits. I'm
fortunately, due to the fact that
tn theme of the film centers about
the activities Of Army nurses on
Bataan during the Japanese inva-
sion, the bathing suits will be more
or less improvised ones, not even
resembling Hollywood's usual abil-
it, in this direction.
Andre Chariot, who is TO the
English stage what Ziegfeld was
to ours, is playing a small part
in a picture in which two of his
discoveries have important roles.
The film, starring Charles
Laughton, is The Man From
Down Under" the players -
Clyde Cook and Binnie Barnes.
Before the general release OF
"Bataan," Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer
quietly showed the film to persons
who had been on the Peninsula al
the time Of the Jap invasion. These
individuals were primarily Army
and Navy personnel and a handful
Of foreign correspondents. CLARK
Lee, who covered the fall Of Bataar
for the Associated Press, jumped
from his seat several times, amazed
at its stark realism.
Whenever, in years to come,
the keenan, Wynns celebrate their
wedding anniversary, Van John
son will have a holiday all his
own to celebrate. The date of
their anniversary marks Vans
first night out since his dreadful
automobile accident. Van, who
has been convalescing at the
home of the Wynns, was permit
ted to celebrate their anniversary
for a two-hour period. During
that time the trio had dinner in
a Hollywood night club.
Here at last is the reason why
Carey Wilson will not portray
himself on the screen. Anyway,
Carey says so. Some time ago he
received a note from a young girl
fan requesting his photograph "be-
cause" wrote the girl, II think you
have sex appeal in your voice." A
week later, after receiving the
photo, the fan wrote another note
which abruptly stated, ~ still think
you have sex appeal in youi
VOICE."
In pictures dealing with for
eign lands or scientific subjects,
technical advisers are expected
to be on hand. But seldom are
they employed in the filming of
domestic comedies. Filming the
comedy, "The Heavenly Body"
which stars Hedy LAMAR and
William Powell, M-G-M is taking
triple exception to this rule. In
order to distribute justice equally
in the film, which centers about
the controversy between astron-
omy and astrology, DR.. Robert S.
Richardson and DR.. W. H. Chris
tie, both from Mount Wilson o.
servatory, and Ernest Wykes, an
astrologer, were retained as tech
nical advisers.

SUPPORT or CONGRESS-

As breakdown follows breakdown in
the home-front war machine, the New
Deal politicos are seeking 4 goat
And evidence continues to pile up
that an attempt will be made to
blame the failure Of OPA, the food
stuffs program-in short, all mis-
takes winch have haHpyred the var
cffolt-on Congress.
There Is visi5Iy an effort to con-
vince the American people that each
time the national Iegi iatule cXer-
cises its Judgment upon .hdmini@tra-
ton policy, each time it rises above
the old rubber stamp" role, it is in
terfering with the conduct Of the
war.
When Congress legislates on labor
policy, the White House declares it
mHst be held responsible for future
strikes in industry.
When Congress turns thumbs
down" on the subsidy program, with
which the New Deal hopes to again
buy control over agriculture, the
White House tars it with the initiation
brush.
When Congress wields the economy
axe on non-war bureaus and on over
padded Federal agencies such as the
owl, the charge of playing politics
and aiding and comforting the enemy
is hurled
Nearly everything Congress does to
hold runaway bureaucracy within
bounds, the New Deal administration
brands as disloyal
In spite Of all the smearing, Con-
gress tries to do the job assigned to
it by the trainers of the Constitu-
ton, and if the effort to get" the
legislative body succeeds, then rep
resentative government will die in
America just as it died in Germany
when the Reichstag was dissolved. If
Congress is again forced back into
the role Of rubber stamp. the people
will lose their voice in Government.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
Senators and Representatives return
to Washington after their scheduled
recess. with the knowledge that they
have the confidence Of their constitu-
ents. With such confidence the indie
pendence Of our legislative branch is
assured.
