. IN HOLLYWOOD
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON
NEA Service staff Correspondent

NEA Service starr correspondent
Muscle man: Since some form
of culture has to exist in the
plaster city of Hollywood,
Mushy Callahan has found his
ready place in the screen colony
as a physical culture instructor.
Mushy is a gentleman of 80, with
slicked sandy hair, blue eyes
and a flattened nose. He was
born in Brooklyn, but has been
a resident of Hollywood ever
since the age of two. The last
nine years of his life have been
spent as the official muscle man
on the Warner Brothers lot.
Mushy was the worlds junior
welterweight champ from 1925
to 1890, but today he devotes
all of his time to keeping glamor
boys and girls in trim. He &C
complishes this not with raw
carrots, watercress or vitamin
pills, but by activities like box
ing, handball and punching the
bag.
Any day, you can see him jog
ging back and forth across the
lot with some screen Romeo who
is losing the agility necessary for
ascending to Juliet's balcony.
Mushy quit the boxing bust
ness at 26. II didn't feel like

Some S25 million OF u. y.
money has been spent on over
500 health, sanitation, food pro-
duction and economic rehabili-
tation projects in l3 South and
Central American countries
since the Rio de Janeiro Inter-
American Conference of Foreign
Ministers came to a close just a
year ago.
At that conference, in addition
to recommending that their
countries break with the axis,
these representatives of the
American republics agree d
among other things to co-ordi-
nate defense measures and Gre
ate a hemisphere front to deal
with postwar problems. The ex-
tent to whicN the strictly mill
tary phases of that agreement
have been carried out can't be
talked about for obvious reasons
of security and censorship. But

on these 500 health and welfare
projects which, taken together.

Basic Economy program of the
Office of the Coordinator of In

Nelson ROckefeller
The extent of this Latin
American aid borders a little on
the unbelievable. While the
various projects have received
considerable attention in the rest
of the hemisphere to the south,
the work has not attracted much
attention in the United States.

TRAINING A MARINE

At the moment Musings
chief activity is chaperon-
ing George William HOLE,
the 13 1-2-year-old baby Ma
rine. George. who demolished
half a dozen Japs with As at a
range of 10 feet in Samoa, but
who was discharged from the
Marines for being under age, is
at Warmers to star in picture
about his life.
When he isn't attending school
for three hours every morning,
or learning the ABC's of drama
tics, six-two George may be
found in five-eight Mushys
company, playing golf or hand
ball or boxing on the back lot.
Callahans advent into the
world of the cinema came about
in unusual fashion. Jack War
ner, executive producer at War
ner's, was one of Musings fans.
One day Mushy was chatting
with Warner and commented:
"I'll bet when ! get through
fighting some day, you won't
even talk to me-"
"When you get through fight
ing" replied Warner, come out
and see me and I'll give you a
job"
Mushy did.

fighting anymore" he says today
in his hoarse, low-pitched voice.
REFORMED DEAD ENDERS


One of Musings first big jobs
was to handle the Dead End
Kids. These outsize moppets
were confusing their screen and
off-screen personalities, and in
dulging in activities like setting
sound stages on fire, tarring and
feathering ingenues, and ap-
plying the hot-foot to their
school teacher. Mushy stepped
into this chaos and did little
persuasive arguing with his
dukes. From that time on, the
Dead End Kids became more
amenable.
Mushy trained Wayne Morris
for three fistiGuff films. He also
trained John Payne, Jimmy Gag
ney, John Garfield, Enrol Flynn
and a lot of others, and acted as
technical adviser.
According to Mushy, the leg
end that screen actors are Sis
sizes is fallacious. II wouldn't
advise anyone to tangle with
some of those guys he says.
They're plenty tough. They
keep in good physical condition.
They've got to. because the cam
era is tough on them"

Philadelphia can always be
counted upon to produce the
largest and strongest field OF
women's pairs in the country. II
was there that 40 women's
teams established an all-time
record for the national event.
This is due to the work of Mrs.
Olive Peterson, a past-president
of the Women's National Conn.,
mittee of the American Contract
Bridge League. Mrs. Peterson
turned out record entry for the
women's pair event in the recent
Pennsylvania State Tournament,
and it was won by Mrs. Richard

the entire cost. In many of the
projects. the Latin-American
governments are matching the
u. S. funds. dollar for dollar.
But as the Basic Economy pro-
gram grows-and it is just get
ting started-the u. S. contribu-
ton is bound to increase.
ECOl'OMIC WAR AIMS
This expenditure is considered
necessary as part of the u. S.
program of economic warfare. If
this country wants Amazon rub
Der, it must insure that the rub
Der gatherers in the jungles are
kept healty. just as the us. had
to lick yellow fever before it
could complete the Panama Ca
nal.
II the U. S. wants these other
American republics to declare
war on the axis, the theory is
that the us. must make up for
the German and Italian markets
which formerly took Latin
American exports. If submarine
warfare and divergence of ship

vent Latin America from ship
ping coffee or bananas or SINH
lar crops to market, it seems to
be up to Uncle Sam to lend a
hand in getting these one-crop
countries started on another
economy, making them tempo
rarily or perhaps permanently
self-sufficient in some other
way.
Four hundred of the 500 prof.
ects already under way have to
do with improving health and
sanitation conditions, and no one
can argue that health and SAM
tation are not desirable Wher-
ever found.
Guayaquil, chief port of Ecua-
dor and long known as one of
the worst pest holes on the
American continent, is being
cleaned up. Quito, its capital,
right on the equator, is getting
new sewage system and its
first school for training nurses.
HEALTH FOR GOODS
All up and down the Amazon
and it's tributaries, in Brazil,
Bolivia, Peru. long ridden by
malaria, health centers are being
established to fight the mosquito.
Swamps near cities are being
drained, hospitals built, first aid
barges or floating dispensaries
are being stationed between the
health centers to care for the
$4,000 migrants going into the
jungles to tap the rubber trees.
In Central America - in Hon.
duras, Costa RIGA. Guatemala,
Ell Salvador and Nicaragua -
new hospitals and health centers
are being established, water and
sewage systems put in, sanitary
slaughter houses and markets
built in an effort to reduce dys-
entery, tuberculosis, malaria and
other tropical diseases which
give Latin America its terribly
high rates of mortality.
Supervising all this health
work for the Rockefeller organi-
cation is Brig. Gen. George c.
