Luck, CoIorodon Says, Seeing

Emil M. johnson, Walden

When Is an Actress a Girl?

larry Brooke, Jerry James, Noel
Neill, Kim Hunter, Pat Patrick,
Dusty Anderson and B. j. yBetty
Jane) Graham all bear names ap-
plicable to males. And, among the
big time stars, Greer Carson does
all right with q monicker that would
throw. any uninitiated fan for q
loss.
Taking q look at the other side
Of the picture, there's Dana An
drews, for example. Dana was the
most embarrassed man in Holly
wood when he began receiving mail
from Latin America. Most OF it
was addressed to "Senorita Dana
Andrews" Even that didn't impel
Dana to change his name. They've
now come to accept him as a male
with a puzzled shake OF the head.
Then there are those ambiguous
names which could pertain to either
sex. Contract lists are cluttered
with Jeans, Marians and Lynns.
Columbia has promising young
actress named Shelley Winter,
named after the poet. In every
item sent out about her there is in
variably line or so to indicate her
sex.
In spite Of Gene Tierney and
Greer Carson, the publicity boys
still lean to the old-fashioned girl
with . frilly and feminine first
name. But they're taking a beating.
They say vaudeville. is either dead
or giving out its last gasps, but
vaudeville nevertheless is saving
quite a number of filmdom's biggest
musicals Of late. Specially acts
from night spots around the country
are being hustled this way in job
lots. Some of them are real show
shoppers.
For instance, the best features
in Broadway Rhythm" starring
George Murphy and Ginny Simms,
and just previewed, are not the story
or acting of the headliners, but the
contributions Of two separate vaude-
vile teams.
Outstanding is Dean Murphy,
probably the best mimic in the busi-
ness. His impersonations of Joe E.
Brown. Ronald Colman, Wendell
Willkie, Clark Gable and finale on
F. D. r.. tear down the house.
Murphy was favorite with the late
Mrs. Sarah Roosevelt, the Presi-
dents mother, and often came to
the White House with his bag of
tricks.
The other show-stopper is the ac-
robatic dancing presentation of the
Ross Sisters, a threesome whose
elastic maneuvering reaches thrill
Ing proportions.
So let's keep vaudeville going, If
only to enliyen some of the duller
musical movies.

to congratulate you for your
fine editorials and the col

My only regret is that the

The Elder Sfofesmon

Herbert Hoover, elder statesman of the
Republican party whose blind administra-
ton of this country will go down in his
tory as one marking the end of an era,
rose to address his fellow Republicans at
the Chicago Republican convention.
And what did MIR. Hoover say that
made the convention sit in rapt attention?
Did he call for social legislation that
would give the people of this country
greater security? Did he say that the
country should provide jobs for all its re-
turning servicemen? No. Mr.. Hoover said
nothing of the kind.
Mr.. Hoover said, "OnIy by change in
administration will our returning soldiers
find freedom preserved at home"
We cannot help but recall how Mr..
Hoover when he was president gave free
dom to the soldiers of World War /. We
cannot help but remember how he caused
the veterans to be ousted at bayonet point
from Washington where they had gone TO
petition the Hoover administration for aid.
Truly, Hoover, the elder Republican
statesman, has mellowed with time, or
can it be that he has forgotten the past?

Dear Friends:
Having read the June End
issue of the TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL, l am very much
disappointed in the way that
things are going at Auto-Lite.
We all know of the great
sacrifices that are being made
today so there is no use for me
to wave a flag. Having been
a member of the steward body
and member of the executive
board of our union, | am well
aware of the disharmony that
exists in our plant, | need not
go into complete detail for we
all know that certain mem
bers of the committee are do
ing all they possibly can to
keep the Auto Lite unit
united. The remaining mem
bers are there only for their
own personal benefit and are
of no use to the A. l.. unit or
to the union as a whole.
| remember only too we'll
the terrific struggles we have
had with the management.
Those struggles are still going
on today There is no future
in trying to fight the A. l..
management and the union
too. The executive committee
is the backbone of our unit,
but as long as they are going
to cut each others throats,
they are only going to bat for
the management. That is what
we have strived so long and
hard to overcome.
1t is my opinion that we
have one of the best unions in
the country, SO let's keep it
that way. You people know
what you want, so go and get
1t, not as individuals, but as
a unit. In closing, | just wish
to say that I'm hoping that this
thing will be Strengthened out
for the good of all, for we
know of the difficult times
that await us in the future,
Keep united and we will keep
winning.

Labor did not have spec al interests at
stake as do most Dollar Year Men" and
could therefore be more objective.
Altho the UAW- -CIO went wholeheartedly
into the task of planning and building war
materials our Union also realized that certain
big busines groups would try to use the war
as an opportunity to howl for repressive legis-
lation and to destroy democracy at home.
Our Union has made it clear that we intend
to fight for democracy at home as well as
abroad. The UAW is determined that this war
shall be succeeded by an era of a just peace
with social security and full employment FOR
all our people.
Thus, the task of the UAW- -CIO in this war
is threefold II Win the war. p Preserve our
democratic institutions and 81 Win the peace
by establishing full employment and social
security.
In the furtherance of the war effort the
UAW-CIO gave no strike pledge to the ma
ton. IF THE INDUSTRIALISTS HAD BEEN
AS FAIR AND CEASED TO DELIBERATELY.
PROVOKE THE WORKERS DURING THE
WAR OUR TASK WOULD BE MUCH
EASIER.
Despite these things it is the miraculous
output of the American workers that is max
ing it possible for Allied fighting forces to
crush the Axis.
This concludes our History of Labor. We
have traced development of the labor move
ment from ancient times down to the present.

are disqualified for of the two above
stated reasons are workers, and most of them
are members of the CIO.
With these facts in mind, it occurs to me
that before we can do anything about electing
anyone to office, we had better qualify our
selves to vote. There is no sense in wasting
our time attending meeting and boosting this
that and the other candidate if we cannot back
to our convictions with an x placed before the
proper names.
REGISTER NOW
1t isn't too early to register for this falls
election. Right is a good time to 60 to
the Board of Elections and register or trans
fer your registration if you have moved. The
Board isn't busy and will be more than glad
to take your name and address
Two years ago, we preached this same
sermon about registering and voting, but many
of our people failed to heed our voice. AS
result, the reactionaries managed to elect men
to congress who have tried everything in their
power to represS labor.
Most recent of the actions of congress was
its passage of a price patrol act which if per-
mitted to stand as is, will wreck price control
and bring about the initiation which some of
our so-called leading business men seem to
want
Had the workers turned out two years a, -
and elected congress which was not so ~
acJlOnary, tnlS would never nave OcCure6si
Now, our only hope is that the president will
veto the act and give congress an opportunity
to pass another bill which will be free of all
Gripping amendments
This is a good example of the necessity of
labor's political action. If labor does not come
through and elect the right people to public
office, particularly to congress- it is going to
discover that its economic and political in
terests are as one and that both will suffer.
Lack of political action along the right
line, failure to vote for the candidates friendly
to labor and indifference, lead to economic re-
suits which are not good for the workers To
protect your own interests and the interests of
your fellow workers. you owe it to yourself
to qualify now in order that you might vote
in November.

Before any of us can vote,
it means that we must be
qualified. In Toledo and
Lucas County, thousands of
people have lost their right
to vote by not casting a
ballot in the past two gen
eral elections or by moving
and not transferring their
registrations.

Dewey's Nomination

Nomination of Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York comes as no surprise.
For many months, Governor Dewey has
been the beneficiary of publicity build
up designed to secure the Republican pres
idential nomination for him.
Aside from the fact that Governor
Dewey as prosecuting attorney of New
York City, aided by honest labor leaders,
brought about the conviction and impris-
onment of a few labor racketeers, he has
done nothing spectacular. Certainly, his
York has provided nothing spectacular
aside from a record which displeaseS
labor.
AS an administrator, Governor Dewey's
qualifications for the highest public ad-
minstrative office in the land fall short.
1t is long jump from prosecuting attor-
ney and governor for few short months
to the head of nation engaged in global
war.
Nor do Governor Dewey's shortcom-
ings fall entirely on the side of expert
ence. AT no time, either before or since
becoming governor of New York. has Mr..
Dewey given any indication that he was
on the side of the plain people. On the
other hand, he has, in the few short
months he has occupied the governors
chair, accumulated a record which does
not inspire confidence in those whose
votes he must secure in order TO win the
election.
Dewey has proved that he is no friend
of education. He did this in New York by
cutting state aid to education by $780,
900 and cut child care and nursery funds.
Other points in the Dewey administra-
ton to which the workers and plain
people look are his knitting of anti-discrim-
ination legislation. After his own APP
pointed committee had made recOmmen-
dations, Dewey Overrode ii and set up a
new committee which would do his bid
ding.
Adopted bill squelching minority
stockholders suits.
Blocked investigations of profiteering
by the dairy trust and life and fire insur-
ance companies.
Defeated a needed commercial rent
freeze in New York City.
These are but few of the items
which Dewey has accomplished in the
brief time he has been governor of New
York. As reward for his efforts he is
now handed to the American people as
the savior of the country.
Certainly, the Roosevelt administration
has made errors, il has been guilty of
many of the things of which the Repub-
licans accuse it, II has blundered and
grOped; but il has never been guilty of
some of the things which Dewey has been
guilty of as governor of New York
As Republican candidate for the preS-
dency, Governor Dewey constitutes a
threat to the workers They should unite
now, as never before, and decisively de-
feat this man who is another Hoover with
a mustache.

ing, Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and
the rest of the Nazi high COM
mand must have gloried June

bittered racism that spilled

ate as southern polltaXers
fought vainly to kill equality
of economic opportunity for
all workers during the war.
Sen. Theo. G.. Bilbo, Missis-

Presidents Committee on Fair
Employment Practice. Bilbo's
gaunt face with its sunken
cheeks, leered as he mouthed
his hate of President Roose-
welt, labor and the Negro
people.
The packed galleries Kissed
Bilbo when he overstepped
himself by drooling his de-
mand that Negroes be sent
back to Africa and Mrs. Roose-
welt be made their queen.
At another point the Missis-
sipian charged that the BLACK
MARKET mean black cabi-
net" was planning to force
the white people out of Wash
