Five Senators Named
To Draft Resolution
On News Freedom
~ the Associated Press.

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee today set up five
member subcommittee to put the
finishing touches on resolution
calling for an unfettered interna-
tional exchange of independent news
as a means of promoting world
peace.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senate Majority Leader Barkley,
also includes Senators Gillette, Dem
ocrat. of Iowa; Thomas, Democrat.
of Utah; White, Republican, of
Maine, and Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan.
Chairman Connally prepared to
submit the final result to the Senate
as soon as committee members agree
on wording, and Senator Barkley
said he knew of no opposition to
prompt action, possibly this week.
Senator Connally, Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio and Represen-
tative Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas have their own versions
of how best to put Congress on
record, but their goals are similar.
Secretary of State Hull, replying
to an Associated Press query as to
his thoughts on the subject of inter-
national news freedom, said in
statement yesterday:
The whole question of freedom
of information has been under study
in the Department of State for some
time. l have consistently supported
the cause of freedom of news and l
would support any practical measure
to give international recognition to
this principle
A foreign policy statement on
news freedom was completed by the
State Department week before last
and submitted to the White House. =.
While the Senate may act before
a recess expected to begin sometime
this week, House plans are not so
far advanced. However, Chairman
Bloom of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee is working to get COM
mittee action on Mr.. Fulbright's
proposal.
In general, the plan behind all
the pending resolutions is to espouse
the right of the responsible press
and radio to write. send and publish
news without interference, Govern
ment or private. They are pre-
dicated on the idea that distorted
news makes for war while the truth
freely told is an ally of peace.

Cumberland, Feb. Z, 1914

Cumberland, Feb. Z, 1874.
To the Editor of the CIO NEWS:
Enclosed is the following state
ment of the officers Of Local 1874
and the Membership, Of which, we
want carried in the next issue OF
the Western Maryland CLIO News.
This story is to be printed without
alterations or corrections whatso-
ever.
On Sunday, January %, 1884, The
Cumberland Sunday Times, carried
a story concerning Hardy L. Scott,
Organizer for the Communist
Party. Mr.. Scott, in his story, gave
the impression that he was going
to have a field-day in recruiting
new members from the ranks OF
Organized Labor within Western
MARYLAND. The Textile Workers
Union of America Local 1874, along
with other Labor Organizations,
took exception to Mr.. SCOTS state
ments. Local 1874 issued the fol-
lowing statement: "The Member
ship of Local 1874, Textile Workers
Union of America, last evening,
January 26, 1914, at their General
Membership Meeting, voted to ac-
cept the recommendation OF the
Executive Board, which follows:
The membership of Local 1874, hav-
ing been in existence for the past
seven years, we are of the opinion
that we have in the past and can
in the future, handle our own az
fairs without the aid of outsiders,
such as, Hardy L. Scott or any OF
his cohorts"
The officers and The Members
of Local 1874 realize that the peo-
ple of Russia have been doing a
magnificent job in this war and
appreciate it. This does not mean
that because Russia is Military
Ally of the United States, that we
here in America have to adopt the
Communist form of government.

Claude Rains in Review

that went to Australia with
Maeterlinck's "The Bluebird," and
later, at Sydney, he made his first
important hit in "You Never Can
Tell"
Rains then returned to England
to appear in Golden Doom" and
"Typhoon" before coming to Amer
lea as general manager for Gran
Vile Barker. His first American
stage appearance was in "Androcles
and the Lion" at Hartford, Conn.
With World War I, Rains re-
turned to England for enlistment
in the London Scottish regiment.
He was gassed at, Vimy Ridge,
transferred to another regiment
and emerged from the war with a
captains commission.
Resuming his stage career in
London, Rains had important roles
in "Reparation," Julius Caesar"
Polly With a Past" Doctors
Dilemma" and "a Man of Destiny. +"
in which he played Napoleon, to
whom he bears a striking resem-
blance.
Next, Rains appeared in America
In The Constant Nymph" and
became, as result, the Theater
Guilds leading character actor.
Some of his more memorable per-
formances for the guild were in
The Game of Love and Death, ("
The Apple Cart" Miracles of
Verdun," He" and THE Moon in
the Yellow River"
1t was after all this experience
that Hollywood finally decided to
take a chance on him and Rains
found himSelf--if he looked real
hard at the shadows-in The In
visible Man"
But since that strange starter
role, Rains has become very, visible
to Hollywood and the fans of the
Nation. OF him, Jack Warner
general manager of Warner Bros,
said, He couldn't give a bad per-
torrance if he tried. He is a natural
born actor if there ever was one"
Rains is pleasant fellow who
minds his own business around the
lot. He has very few intimate
friends. That is because he is
extremely quiet, painfully re-
served-and cautious in the bar
gain. He's scholarly and studious
man who lives for four things-his
wife, his daughter Jenifer. acting
and that Pennsylvania farm.

Miss Morgan was i'll on her arrival.
But that was the way breakfast
went. A promising subject vaguely
related to Miss Healys life, even
cooking, would come up and
pretty soon every one would laugh
and that would be the end of the
subject.
AS we said, she is a very pretty
girl, easy to talk to, but awfully
hard to interview.
More breakfast honor guests

When Ray Bolger, the lanky
dancer comedian, left Hollywood a
couple of seasons ago, his friends
hoped he never would go back OF
all the talented stage stars who
had ended up there, Mr.. B. had had
the shabbiest deals, his fans
thought. His bosses always were
forgetting that he was one of the
best male dancers and only vaguely
remembering that he could be a
hilarious sort of man if given proper
material. After picture was
made, they would recall that Bolger
had been a popular stage per-
former. They would put his name
right up at the top of the cast
sheet in very large type but that
only emphasized the scantiness of
his opportunity in a given screen
drama.
Mr. Bolger, an amiable man with
ample genius for taking care of
leisure and not worrying too much
about work, allowed the condition
to go on for several years. There
was some work to be done, books
to be read, golf to be played and
sunshine to be enjoyed.
He took life as it came until
one day he decided something had
better be done about the artistic
side of himself. If Hollywood
would not do it, he would under
take the job personally.
That is what happened when
he returned to New York to star
in by Jupiter" He, and it, were
both instant hits, so much so that
Hollywood could not wait to get
him back. Mr.. B. decided, how
ever, to let it wait. The period
lasted two years, but now he has
agreed to take another Whirl at
pictures, probably with a good
chance that he will be given a
chance at last.

Coburn Dreams
OF His Postwar
Acting Schools
By James Lendsley
HOII ,vW0Nn

AAOA1A-A w WIZ
When I went to see Charles Co.
burn today I had couple of things
I wanted to ask him, such as how
did he like like being Academy
Award winner after more than so
years on the stage and screen, and
also why did he wear that con-
founded monacle all the time.
Well, the answers were clear
enough, but not exactly sensational:
l. He likes being an Academy Award
winner all right. 2. He wears the
monocle because one eye bothers
him and the other doesn't, so why
should he wear plate glass on both
sides of his nose?
What he is really interested in is
his tWo-year-old campaign to get
the colleges and universities which
aspire to teach the drama to really
teach it, and not, as he puts it, hire
amateurs to teach amateurs how to
be amateurs.
Coburn, now costarring with Jean
Arthur in 1.-THE Impatient Year" at
Columbia, said the University of
Texas and the Los Angeles campus
of the University of California will
put the Coburn plan into effect
when the war ends. His idea is to
place good journeymen actors and
actresses on the faculties to show
the youngsters how to act by max
ing them act. The system, he
thinks, would take the place of the
stock and repertory companies
where players learned their trade
during their youth.

kitchen fats!

writing blurbs, in manner of
speaking, about him ever since he
