Until this month Garry Moore's
tomfoolery wasn't known to any one
who doesn't listen to the radio before
lunch. He joined the aristocracy of
radio comedians-those who don't
appear until after dinner-uneXpect-
edly when the Abbott-Costello pro-
gram was Cancelled because of Lou
Costello's illness.
But before any radio audience
grinned at Moore's gags land his are
the kind you grin att. he was the
class show off. While we were being
very serious about comedy, he
flashed fan letter before me and
said: This is what I mean"
Over my shoulder: II am under
the impression that you are Garry
Morfit of Baltimore and at one time
went to Baltimore City College If
you are, this is line of congratula-
tions and best wishes from a former
teacher OF yours.
Il used to enjoy the programs
you put on during English history

ing to be tough about your inter-
ruptions I laughed too"
High praise A comedian has no
better friends than they who laugh
at his jokes
Also Swept Studios.
Hardworking by nature and train
ing, Moore is quietly authoritative

a collar ad with crew haircut and
Princeton length trousers.
His ascent to night time CONNER
cial radio was steady, little slow,
but sure-seven years in all. He
could be control engineer, a sta
ton manager, or director with the
same facility that he is master of
ceremonies. He has done everything
in radio, even to sweeping out the
studio after every one else has gone
home.
His apprenticeship included con-
tinuity writing at station WBAL in
Baltimore (this period Immediately

Scott Fitzgerald on a play that has

By J. ". Sfetb.

This year OF 1943, when most OF
those who are closest to us are in
such painfully far-away spots on the
map known as Iceland, North Africa,
the Solomons and so near, yet so
far, as Florida, Easter Sunday has
q significance which perhaps only
those bereft of former companion
ships can appreciate to the full This
Sunday, thousands who are not shell
tered by the asbestos of distance
thousands with whom we may COM
fortably have talked a bare six
months ago-are feeling the spiteful
crash Of bomb and shell about their
heads, while we, their intimates,
have only to worry about meatless
Tuesdays or Wednesdays, and such
evaporations from the market as
silverware patterns and cuffless
trousers.
II ever there was a time for prayer
and fervent hope for the successful
prosecution of war-and the safe
deliverance of the men and women
whose immediate concern it is to
make it so-Easter, 1943, is the sea-
son. Nations whose belief centers
not in godlessness will make it so,
whether they may be under the boot
Of the totalitarian anti-Christs or
whether they may be free to voice
their hopes unafraid.
Today, the hopes and prayers of
unoppressed and indomitable peoples
everywhere in the world are chorused
for a life of ultimate universal
peace and friendship.

How TO guard your
Weight and
Energy
during food rutioninq'

From all information we have been able to
gather, America will probably eat more
starchy, fattening foods this year than
ever before. That's why, now, more than
ever, you must guard your weight to avoid
putting on pounds of ugly fat. And here's
probably the easiest way to do this YOU
ever read about. Simply mix Il glass+ of
Welch's Grape Juice with glass; of
water. Drink before meals and at bed
time, and this remarkable action follows.
First you have less desire to eat starchv.
fattening foods. Thus, you cut caloric in
take without having to suffer a hungry
moment: Second. the natural dextrose in
WEIGH 3 is quickly consumed. This regime
not only aids nature in consuming excess
fat, but increases energy at the same time.

City Takes N.H.WaterCo. Case
Seeks The Notification Of PUG. Order And Re-
 fund Of $25O,OOO

Organized labor in New Haven was cheered this week to learn that the city of New Haven is seeking a Superior Court order compelling the New Haven Water Co. to re- fund approximately $25O,OOO, and nullify the Public Utility COmmis- sion's order of 1939, which per mitted the company to increase its rates.
 This was the latest development in a four-year-old fight to secure equit- able water rates for New Haven. Organized labor in the Elm City through the Central Labor Council and under the leadership of such men as President Harold V. Fein- mark and Sen. Joseph M. Rourke, now in the Seabees, has taken an active part in this struggle.
 In its move the city charges that PLUGS ruling is illegal, void and unconstitutional. The appeals which will be filed for the September ses- sion of the Court, states that the sum of $25O,OOO was illegally col lected between November, 1889, and June, l943.

Elect Labor's
 Friiends,Urges A.F.L.Council
All Out Political Drive Voted At Board Meeting
 Held In Chicago

CHICAGO. - Launching of an all-out political drive to elect labor's friends in 1914 and the re-routing of the United Mine Workers mem- bership application to the October A.F.L. convention were the high spots in the A.F.L. executive coun- cil's midsummer session.
 A political committee, composed of A.F.L. Pres. William Green, Sec.- Treas. George Meany and A.F.L. legislative representatives, was ap- pointed to go over the records of all political candidates and decide, on the traditional A.F.L. non-partison basis, whether to support or fight them.
 The council rejected a C.I.O. in vitation for joint political action which Green said had been extended by Sid ney Hi1lman, head of the. C.I.O. po- litical action committee, but empha- sized the need for a real political drive by A.F.L unions.
 After several days of debate. the council moved to submit the U.M.W.'s bid for reaffiIiatiOn to the coming A.F.L. convention. Most vigorous opponent of the U.M.W.'s return was Pres. Lloyd Thrush of the rival Progressive Mine Work CTS, who warned the council that U.M.W. Pres. John L. Lewis was "a known politician and disrup- tiOnist."
 Objections were also made to Lewis refusal to discuss jurisdic- tional conflicts between UNIV. Dist. 50 and A.F.L. unions, Green said when he announced that the council had decided to submit a factual report to the convention without any recom- mendations.
 Repeal of the Smith-C Connally act was demanded in a special council statement, objecting to Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle's interpretation grant ing minority of employees in a war plant the right to petition for strike vote.
 ''Thus the way is opened for dis rupting production and creating chaotic conditions in thousands of cases where otherwise the exercise of union discipline would have averted the crisis from coming to a head" the council declared. 1'Without the Smith-Connally act, unions would be able in almost every case to prevail upon the workers to submit their grievances to the War Labor Board and reach a settlement in an orderly way without interrupting production. But with the Smith -Connally act

New Jersey
 Conference For Murphy
United Labor Delegates Support Newark A.F.L.
 Mayor For Governor

NEWARK, N. J.-Five hundred delegates to a Labor Victory Con- ference from all the important A.F.L., CLIO. and Railroad Brother hood unions of New Jersey, many of them right out of war production shops, have pledged themselves to fight for the election of Vincent J. Murphy, win-the-war candidate for Governor.
 Murphy is a member of Local "A, Plumbers and SteamhtterS, and is secretary-treasurer of the N. J. Fed eration of Labor.
 This important meeting, called by one delegate the nearest thing so far to state convention of the C.I.O. and the A.F.L. and Railroad Brother hoods," went all out in support of the candidacy of MT. Murphy and in scoring his Hoover Republican op- ponent, Walter E. Edge.
 The fighting Mayor of Newark called on his fellow trade uniOnists to carry on the utmost activity i'm their shops and among their friends, getting their fellow work CTS and friends to register and vote. He declared that only by such activity, with labor taking the lead ership in organizing all the win-the- war forces of the state, can victory be assured.
 ALL, CLIO. and Railroad BrOtherhOOds behind the Roosevelt win-the-war candidate will be a powerful force working for his vic tory in the coming elections, and points the way for the struggle to put win-the-war men in office.
 MARCIANTE SPEAKS
 Louis Marciante, president of the State Federation of Labor, said that great ''hate forces'' have been planted in this country by the ene- mics of the people, and said: "A strong, courageous man is needed to beat down these hatreds.''
 Marciante evidently had in mind the recent indications of a strong coalition being formed around labor-haters, Klansmen, Bundists and others in the defeatist camp for the defeat of the Roosevelt pro- gram for victory.
 Sharp attacks on Edge as an enemy of labor were made by Charles Carr,

Big Campaign Launched By
 
I. B. E. w. To Organize Employees Of Southern
 Bell Telephone

A far-hung organizing campaign to bring 10000 employees of the Southern Bell Telephone System under the union banner was launched this week by the Inter- national Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
 For many years the workers had been under the domination of "com- pany union," but a long battle by the Electrical Workers resulted in an custer of that organization, first by the National Labor Relations Board and finally in a binding decision by the Supreme Court.
 This ruling opened the way for the advance of bona fide unionism in the Southern Bell ''empire. g I.B.E.W. locals for phone workers have already been set up in several Dixie cities and the Brotherhood is confident the campaign will 'snOwball'' in results from week to week.
 Some attempts are already being made by management "stooges" to revive the company union" under new name, Electrical Workers spokesmen said, and warned those re- sponsible they may face drastic penal ties for contempt of court if they continue their efforts.
