Rightful, because she has been

Mrs. Johnson, bride who had

the world where gas-range

shook their heads at such Yam

headquarters had called up pres
idential assistants David K. Niles
II times, Jonathan Daniels six
times, Some RoSenman, Lowell
Mellett and Ben Cohen once
each. What was said on these
calls isn't known.
Naturally" says Stripping,
1T is not to be assumed that all
these calls had to do with politi-
Cal activity. l am certain that
some OF them were business calls
and as such were quite proper.
JUST LOOKING FOR A
PLACE TO SLEEP
Being high man on the list,
David K. Niles was asked about
his II calls. I'm surprised the
number isn't greater" he says.
Il have known Hillman a long
time, worked with him closely
when he was on WPB. He usual
ly calls me up when he wants to
come down TO Washington and
can't get hotel ROOM"
You can take this statement
at face value, being true as far
as it goes, but perhaps not being
the whole story.
Most Of the calls to Jonathan
Daniels were from c. B. Bald
win, former Farm Security Ad-
ministrator and now vice chair
man of P. A. c. and identified
by Stripping as the man who
really runs it.
But you can't convict anyone
for using the telephone and lot
of strange people have no doubt
called up the White House for
strange purposes.
Stripping and Matthews per-
haps strike pay dirt when they
get down on the lower levels and
try to show how the regional
and local p. A. c. workers, with
defenite records of participation
in Communist front organiza-
tons, have moved into the DEM
ocratic Party.
Democratic Congressman John
M. Costello of Los Angeles, act
ing chairman Of the Dies Sub
committee investigating p. A. c.,
says, This shows What hap
pened when the Communist
Party diSsolves. Its members go
into other political parties"
NE OUGHT TO KNOW
Costello should know, for he
was victim Of p. A. c. activl-
ties in the California primaries.
In making this comment he was
referring specifically to the case
of one Mervyn Rathborne, once
violently anti-Communist as an
organizer of the American Radio
Telegraphists' Association, then
actively pro-Communist, and
now California state secretary
Of the c. /. O., a delegate to the
Democratic National Convention
in Chicago and a power in state
p. A. c.
Others put in the same cate
CORY by Stripping are:
Revels Clayton of San Fran
cisco, former Communist Party
candidate for state senator, now
an assistant TO Rathborne;
William Sentner of st. Louis,
former Communist Party leader
for Missouri and Arkansas, now
a p. A. G. leader in the same
area;
Ernest De Maio. and John Z.
Barnard Of Chicago, officials Of
the United Electrical Workers,
both charged with having def
mite Communist ties in the past,
now prominent in midwest

evidence on only a dozen Of

threat. If men with proved Com

When you want to heat

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (ANP)-
The Salvation army has opened it's
newest servicemen's club in the
heart Of Harlem. Six floors of ia
cilities, ranging from brush-up
basement to a party sky-room, were
officially dedicated during the cere-
monies.
Visiting soldiers, sailors and ma
rines will find 800 beds to accom-
modate them overnight in this

arrangements were made to serve
servicemen even before the new
servicemen's club was open, said
Walter H. Roark, club director.
Among the stars of stage, screen
and radio who serve on the enter
tainment committee are Maxine
Sullivan, Bernard Kay, Sammy
Price, Dick Campbell and Canada

work with the club in extending
cheer and comfort to the camps and
military hospitals near the metro

BLAME ALCOHOL FOR
DEATH OF THREE

ATLANTA, Dec. % (ANP)-
Drinking denatured alcohol was
blamed by police for the deaths of
three Atlantans, two of them wo-
men. The victims were identified at
Grady hospital as Lee Posie Smith,
Mrs. Carrie Lou Smith, his wife;
and Mrs. Mildred Flagg.
Police said the body of Mrs. Smith

home, while her husband, uncon-
scious, was lying on the bed. He
died at the hospital without re-
gaining consciousness.
Several bottles containing a solu-
ton resembling denatured alcohol
were found by the police. A few
doors away from the Smith home,
police said they found the body of
Mrs. Flagg, and were told by wit
nesses that she had drunk from the
bottle found in the Smith home.

In fact. Broadway Rhythm,
which opened al the United Art
lists yesterday, would sound the
same if they HAD called il
Broadway Melody Of 1914 a
habit which M-G-M was addicted
70 for several years.
The reason that the name taSci-
mates as m a curious way IS that
while il undoubtedly refers To
Manhattan malnStem. the whole
thing is chiefly concerned with a
New England barn iheater.
Actually, Il IS slightly warmed
over version ot the Jerome Kern
musical. Very Warm For May,
for which we had deep regard
although 1t left many customers
cold.
But the story about how George
Murphy, successful producer and
scion OF a famous theatrical fam
lily, goes arty and gives up the
sweet corn diet which made him
important, is quite beside the
point.
The biggest feature of Broad
way Rhythm which is highly
technicolored revue, is the amount
Of fine talent which has been
packed into lis eight reels.
DEAN OF MIMCS'
There's Dean Murphy, the dean
Of American mimics. who stops
the show with his Satirical imper-
sonations. Truly, the screen au-
dience applauded him when he got
through with his series of take
offs on President Roosevelt, Char
lie Mccarthy. Gable. etc.
Ben Blue affords many laughs
and we howled over the Charles
Winninger trombone duet with
Tommy Dorsey called II Love
Corny Music" incidentally, both
Winninger, who plays the father
trying 10 cure vaudeville, and
Nancy Walker as the disguised
Coincidence, came close to stealing
the show.
THE REAL SCORE
While there are lots of inter-
polated numbers like Lena Herne's
sensational singing of Somebody
Loves Me" and the nostalgia num-
Der. Pretty Baby" you will also
hear snatches of the original
Jerome Kern score. climaXed by
Ginny Simms, beautifully recorded
version of "All the Things You
Are"
Miss Simms is undoubtedly a
decorative dish in front of a
microphone, but her stock smile
and her inability to react (let
alone acD in any scene. slightly
discouraged us.
When she sang with Kay kyser
we couldn't hear her. Now, as a
screen actress, we're afraid We
can't quite see her.
Murphy is good. but the prin-
cipals, with the exception of VIM
ringer, all fade out in the bright
light shed by all the incidental
performers.
