Hollywood
Lot
BY Ted Taylor
A DIFFERENT EDITION

The Peoples World has put out
a special Hollywood edition, some
thing you expect only from the
commercial press.
This is different, however. Ex-
cept for a picture of Carole Lands
in bathing suit, there is no CLAM
orizing of film figures, financial or
otherwise. The issue is devoted to
| Hollywood and the war. The ar
ticles are by union and industry
leaders, and they not only record
achievements, but deficiencies, with
suggested solutions for same.
Running through the various re-
ports like a theme these points are
made: (1) The movies are a wea-
pom; (2) the public must take an
active part in their use.
Among Hollywood unions the
writer's, readers and cartoonists
are particularly alert to what films
can do for democracy and victory.
And they call on the unions every
where to back them up. The reports
of achievement are favorable.
VIRTUALLY all of the important
anti-fascist, pro-war books and
plays have been bought for pro-
duction," states Bernard Gordon,
president of the Screen Readers
Guild (unaffiliated).
"Even if we cannot speak Rus
sian or Chinese, we can do a pic
ture that would show the Russians
or Chinese how to fit together the
airplane we are sending over in
parts" the Screen Cartoonists
points out.
Hollywood is changing over to
policy of recognizing social re-
sponsibility," a committee of the
Screen Writers Guild (Authors
League) declares.
MICKEY SELLS BONDS
mickey Mouse is selling war
bonds" the Peoples World sums
up. "Mrs. Miniver is teaching us to
respect and understand our British
allies. Mission to Moscow, North
Star and Russia will draw closer
the bonds of friendship between
our country and the Soviet Union.
Wake Island and Air Force inspire
native pride and devotion"
But admittedly much trash still
goes out from Hollywood - spy
melodrama, boy-meets-girl t u f f,
screwball comedy. This is an in
dustry still in the throes of war
conversion. The first tanks are
moving off the line, but the manu-
facture of refrigerators, doll houses
and geegaws is still going on.
"The second front in Europe
means more than blood and steel.
The message of democracy will be
carried to the courageous people of
Europe through the use of radio
and films" John Howard Lawson
says He wrote Action in the North
Atlantic, probably the first film
springing out of and winding up in
a union hiring hall.
Responsibility rests not only on
Hollywood" Lawson continues,
"but on the whole American ma
tion. The screen speaks for the ma
ton"
Robert Rossen, chairman of the
Hollywood Writers Mobilization, Is
more explicit: "a constant fight
must be waged to make motion pic
lures the powerful weapon they are
capable of being. This fight cannot
be confined to the workers in the
film industry. The audience is as
much a part of it as the actor or
the cameraman."

Army Laundry Hill
Is Worlds S Largest

ALGIERS-"Laundry Hill',' the

dry cleaning plant, is salvaging T.
000,0 900 garments a month for the
American Army.
Here all the torn, worn and other
wise damaged items of G1 uniforms
sent back by the troops are mended
or merged, and when Uncle Sans
quartermasters get through, there
isn't enough thrown away to make
a square meal for moth.
Give us the buttons and we'll
build uniform around them" is the
slogan on ""laundry hill" a plant
overlooking the Mediterranean, near
Oran, where the Army has con-
centrated its clothing redemption
facilities.
Every reSairable garment is care
fully patched and re-issued after be-
ing sterilized. Pants, shirts and field
Jackets, too, worn for further use,
are put into the ragbag after but
tons and zippers have been removed
In addition to conserving clothing
costs, the salvage operations release
shipping space for other war needs
The two buildings, which house
the laundry and dry cleaning equip
ment, are in themselves another
salvage project. They were built al
most entirely of lumber from dis
carded packing crates. The plant
runs full blast for 20 hours every
day.
At present it is manned largely bv
native Italians, who originally were
prisoners of war, but have been
formed into labor companies under
their own officers since the armistice.
American experts supervise their
work.

manufacturer and sportsman and
owner Of Staretor, second in the
1941 Kentucky Derby, died yester-
day in hospital several hours
after engaging in an alteration
with another man in a downtown

An autopsy showed death was
caused by brain hemorrhage
which resulted from a fracture of

A man is being held by police In
connection with the case, but no
charges have been filed.

time later in the lobby.
The Californian was knocked to
the floor, striking his head. He
was unconscious when taken to the
hospital and DR.. George Rendleman
said he died without regaining con-
sciousness.
Hotel employees said the alterca-
ton started when Mr.. Nesbitt picked
up drink from another couples
table. Walters elected him from
the room but the fight began again
in the lobby.
Staretor finished second to Whirl-
away in the Kentucky Derby and
won the Hollywood Derby in 194l.
Mr.. Nesbitt also owned Copperman.
He was vice president and sales
manager OF the Goebel Brewing Co.
in Detroit from 1888 to 1898, before
going to California where he found
ed and headed the Nesbitt Fruit
Products Co.
He came to st. Louis Sunday to

Opposition to the District suffrage
bill offered to Congress by Senator
Holman, Republican, of Oregon was
voiced at a meeting of the Lincoln
Civic Association at the Francis
Junior High School Wednesday
night.
Disapproval Of the bill was reg
istered on the grounds that a pleb-
iscite is not necessary, and that the
bill states that voters should be
taxpayers. 1t was felt citizens are
worthy Of voting other than those
paying taxes exclusively and that
this ruling would violate democratic
principles.

Wickard Speaks.
Delegates yesterday heard Secre-
tary OF Agriculture Wickard warn
of great danger from a land farm
boom which is already under way"
Unless something is done, the cabi-
net officer declared, 1--WE are going
to build up future headaches for
farmers and their families and for
a good many real estate men as
we'll"
Land values In this war have in
creased at about the same rate as
they did in the last war, MIR. Wickard
said, with the boom reaching its
height in 1919 and 1920. This was
followed by a "toboggan slide" which
continued until the 193Os.
Mr.. Wickard said that while GER
tain war factors had prevented an
even sharper rise in land values
this time, Il want to say to you. with
all the emphasis that 1 can COM
mand, that we must not be lulled
into a sense of false security by
what has happened so far"
Figures Show Speculation.
When some Of these factors dis
appear, the stage will be set for an
even faster rise than after the last
war, he added. Il ask you to re-
member that the rise since the
beginning of this war has been lust
as much as the rise during the COM
parable period in the last-and we
know this is going to be a much
longer war than the last one. That
in itself should warn us of trouble
ahead"
Department figures show that the
volume of sales during the second
quarter of 1943 was almost rs per
cent above the second quarter of
1912. Should this trend continue"
he said, the volume for the wear
enolng next March will exceed that
OF the record year of 1919-2O."
Reports also have been received
OF farms changing hands two or
more times within single year at
hlgher prices-"a sure sign that
speculation has begun" he said.
He advocated the So-called farm
land boom profits tax, which calls
Tor stiff tax on profits made from
the resale of farm real estate ac-
quired during the war period.

Time for Making
Form Looms Extended

M. B. Yates, secretary-treas-
urer of the Billings Division Ma
tional Farm Loan associations
this week called attention to the
fact that congress has just eX-
tended the time for making
Land Bank commissioner loans
to July l, 1915.
Since 1888, when commission
er loans were first maze avail
able, the associations in this
group have made approximately
679 such loans for a total of
$1,571 900, according to the sec
rotary. The organization serves
the counties of Big Horn. Car
bon, Saltwater, Sweet Grass,
Treasure and Yellowstone.
Many farmers have used both
Federal Land Bank and COM
missioner loans in financing
their farm purchase programs.
Since 1917, when the Federal
Land Bank of Spokane started
operations, the Billings group of
associations has made 1419 land
bank loans for a total of S.
$4,000.
Despite a heavy volume OF
land bank and land bank COM
missioner loans during the early
thirtieS, Mr.. Yates said he had
received information to the eff
feet that in the last eight years
farmers have cut their mortgage
Indebtedness to the Spokane
bank about a third and this re-
duction is continuing under war
conditions. Just the reverse was
true in World War I, he added.
