He and Mrs. Lykourezou called
on the commander of the Greek

with the mountain brigade in TAX

and prevailed on him to release
members of the nursing staff who
had been held for questioning.
Mrs. Lykourezou said that Gun.

LEWIS MAY TAKE
AFL PEACE OFFER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-LR-
The dove of peace liberated by the
American Federation OF Labor at
i+s New Orleans convention may
tI,rn out to be a honling pigeon Tor
John L. Lewis. :.
The often gruff-spoken leader OF
the United Mine Workers seemed
pleased and tolerant OF his one
time companions in the AFL last
week after the Federation had so
obviously extended welcoming
hand.
In his own words. however. Lew
is was Unusually noncommittal. "
President William Green of the
ALL thus far has taken no steps to
bring the UNIV back into the Fed
Grafton. But Green was here only
briefly during the past week, and
while he gave no indication when
he would contact the miners boss,
he is authorized to do so when he
feels like It.
Green made 1t clear there Will
be no crawling on the part of the
Federation to induce Lewis toI
come back.
Last act of the New Orleans ses
sion was the authorization, by the
executive council which consists OF
Is Of the most influential AFL
leaders, of a new set of negotia-
tons with Lewis.
The ALL made it clear it also
wanted the Congress of Industrial
Organizations to come back to the
Federation fold, but particular
stress was laid on the resumption
OF negotiations with Lewis and his
100000 United Mine Workers.

fairy tales to the boys, who thought
themselves above the age of wanting
to hear them. and found they had
just arrived at the point where they
began to understand the deeper
meaning.
There is one very noticeable and
remarkable thing about the inhabit.
ants Of Hollywood: they are gener-
GUS to the point Of stupidity. Tell
them d story Of need, and they In
stantly dip into their pocket and
not for pennies either. It Is q we'll
known fact that the Red Cross Is
over subscribed in this town, that
the War Chest averages $50 q per-
son, whereas in other communities
1t is about 50.
Hollywood is generous. big-heart-
ed, understanding, it has its clioues.
It's social climbers and small town
blgots like anywhere else. But
taken as a whole, it is the most
miraculous place in the world with
responsible citizens, a town with a
heart of gold.
When this war is over. there will
be no more criticism of the motion
