KeepMoviiesFree
OF Ideas, Is Plea
OF Congressman
Hollywood Worries MIR.
Ploeser Because 1t Won't
Play Dumb

HOLLYWOOD. - Nerviest trick
of the war is Rep. Walter C.. Ploes-
er's attempt to make the motion
picture industry take a pledge
never to make another film with
an idea in it.
Ploeser is an isolationiSt from St.
Louis who will call the war square
if he gets unconditional surrender
from labor, the consumer and the
New Deal.
He went to Will Hays, Hollywood's
front man, shook a big sheaf of
"whereases" labeled Congressional
Investigation in his face, and spoke
to this effect:
I'VE want to keep the movies
free as mode of expression, don't
we, Mr.. Hays? Well, pictures like
Mission to Moscow, This Is the
Army and Keeper of the Flame
have got to stop.
Suppose you get Hollywood to
agree voluntarily to make no more
films airing any views, politics,
platforms or detectives identified
with particular persons, political
parties or organized groups. Pro or
con. I'll give you two weeks.''
Hays said he'd take it up with
Hollywood. But the producers show
signs of standing their ground. They
took purity pledge some years ago,
for better or worse, and that's enough.
The propaganda code P1oeser wants
would make it impossible to film any,
thing with more plot than a seed cata-
log-and that obviously would be farm
bloc propaganda. Ploeser's been talk
ing for weeks in Washington about
his program to investigate Hollywood.
eff Hollywood is guilty of join
ing in with the administration, we'd
better find out about it, he's been
shouting.
Readers Digest can't wait on
Ploeser and is investigating Holly
wood on it's own. RD's Creta Palmer
is on the ground with an assign
ment, according to Variety, for ga
factual story on pressuring of film
producers by government and labor
groups to get their propaganda on
the SCREEN"

OThis That !!
By ROBERT B. BICKEL

A FORM OF SUBSIDY to which
organized labor is definitely OPP
posed is that provided by the Hart
ford County Commissioners and
Sheriff in farming out prison labor
at $50 day. The difference be-
tween this figure and the regular
union wage is subsidy pure and
simple to the coal yards. Inasmuch
as it may be necessary to use Jail
prisoners because of the shortage
of the regular supply of workers,
the employer getting this type of
labor should be obliged to pay the
county full days wage for each
man. Otherwise there will be no in
centive for the company to hire free
labor.
A COPY of the convention pro-
gram of the New York Sheet Metal,
Roofing and Air Conditioning Con-
tractors Association (whew!) has
come to our attention in which an
ad of the Albany Steel & Iron Sup
ply Co., Inc, proudly states:
JOUR- MOTTO: Steal-When
You Want It's
THE WALL Street Journal, organ
of big business, has demanded a
ceiling on taxes"
RECONVERSION to peacetime
economy will be SO important to
American labor unions that the
ALL. convention recommended
elevation of the Division of Post
war Studies of the Dept. of Labor
to full departmental status, with its
head made second assistant secre-
tary of labor.
THE HARTFORD C.L.U. is to be
congratulated on its unequivocal
stand on the problem of securing
full economic rights for Negro
workers. This is not an idealistic
matter, but clear-cut demonstra-
ton in practical democracy and
unity-the two fundamental factors
of effective unionism.
HOWEVER the adoption of a
resolution and appointment of a
committee is only the beginning and
should not be considered as other
wise. There is a lot of work to be
done i'm the home-front fight for
equal opportunities and a single
standard of justice.

Furthermore, of 100000 who

NAMING OF Liberty ship after
John b. Lennon, ALL. treasurer

that the original suggestion that
leaders of labor be honored i'm this
way was made by Joseph M. Tone,
former Conn. Labor Commissioner.
IF Rep. Ranulf Compton voted
for the interests of the nation as a
whole, and not the small clique he
thinks he's supposed to represent in
Washington, he wouldn't have to
issue long statements to the press
defending his ''recOrd" i'm Congress.
And if he didn't have to issue long
statements defending his record
i'm Congress, he would have more
time to represent all his constitu-
ents. After all, he can't be ''fresh-
