ON THE FRONT
IN THE VALLEY
MANY COOPERATE

Many Ell Centrans cooperated
this weekend in lodging visiting
servicemen over night, large
number volunteering to take care
of men, either calling Mrs. A. j
Burke at the canteen or Mrs Nancy
Parks at the Methodist church.
For the men on the desert, an
opportunity for bath and a
chance to sleep in a comfortable
bed again were real privileges after
a week or two of war maneuvers
WORK AT CENTER
Soroptimists Monday night, in
stead of having a business session
devoted the evening to work at the
Red Cross surgical dressings CEN
ter, helping in this worthwhile
project which still is in need OF
many more workers.
With the speed-up in the wal
theaters, the demand for dressing;
for the wounded is greater than
ever before and the War depart
ment has asked Red Cross chapters
to increase their quotas.

NEA Staff Correspondent

If anyone had told him few
years ago that some day he would
be a Hollywood Heart Throb and
hold Ginger Rogers in his arms,
Robert Ryan would have said
.Nertz."
Nobody said it, though, because
Robert Ryan did not look like a
gent who would wind up in front
of movie camera He still does
not look like a cinema Heart
Throb. He's a mug.
In fact, Hollywood even told
him he was a mug. That was
three years ago, after he had been
bitten by the acting bug. He was
studying drama at the Max Rein
hardt Workshop in Los Angeles,
and haunting Hollywood casting
offices between classes.
You in pictures casting di-
rectors laughed. You're crazy,
bub. Your eyes are too small.
You're too tough looking. Come
around again some day and may
be we'll have a gangster bit you
can play
Instead of waiting, Ryan tackled
the straw hat circuit in the east.
He played opposite Luise Rainer
in "A Kiss for Cinderella" and
with Tallulah Bankhead in Clash
by Night" Then an RKO talent
scout spotted him and, bingo, he
was on his way back to Hollywood
with a contract.
To the studio casting office, he
was still a mug. And that's the
kind of roles they gave him. He
was a tough army officer in
"Bombardier," and the prize
fighter who slugged it out with a
Jap wrestler in Behind the Ris-
ing Sun

STUDIO UPROAR

Then Ginger Rogers threw the
studio into an uproar one day when
she asked for Robert Ryan as her
leading man in Tender Comrade.' >
Everyone from the studio boss
10 the gateman gasped.
Bob Ryan in a romantic role!"
they chorused THAT lug!"
But Ginger knew what she
wanted. And what Ginger wants
at RKO, the little lady gets. She
was right, too. After seeing him
as a heart throb in Tender Com
rade," a couple of million other
danes are raving about Robert
Ryan.
The ladies will have to wait un-
til the war is won, however, be-
fore seeing much more of him.
He checks into the marines after
completing his current picture,
Marine Raiders"
AS we said, if anyone had told
him few years ago that some
day he would be a Hollywood
star, Robert Ryan would have
said, "Nertz." After graduating
from Dartmouth, he landed right
in the middle of the depression.
II was a sort of a human mule
on my first job" he says. Il

26,OOO Wage Adjustments Handled By VILE. In

As the nations wage stabilization program moved into its third year this week, Chairman Saul Wallen an nounced that the New England War Labor Board has received more than 10000 applications for approval of various wage adjustment proposals and that all but 1900, or five per cent, of these cases have been disposed of by Board action-either approved, de- nied or modified.
 About 57 per cent of all yolun- tary wage adjustment applications submitted to the New England Board, MT. WalIen said, have been approved in full, B per cent have been given modified approval, and 10 per cent denied. He said the Board and its staff are now decid- ing such cases at the rate of three to four hundred per week.
 Since the Regional Boards incep- tion, Chairman Wallen disclosed, a total of 600 disputes between labor and management in New England have been certified to the Regional WLB for settlement and that of these 451, or more than 75 per cent, have been disposed The remaining 150 cases are in various stages of settle ment

 Those who work for a living know, perhaps better than any others, how important are the needs served by the social and health welfare agen- cies numbering B in our community and there are few of us who have not someone in the services who will benefit from the work done by those member agencies of the National War Fund which serve our fighting forces And, certainly, the sympathy and de- sire to help the stricken peoples of our Allied countries, is present every where in our ranks" So spoke Harold V.

 The first of the series of eight con- certs which the New Haven Sym phony will play this season will be heard on Monday, October 23rd.

Fought Labor And
 Favored Germans

A giant international cartel operated by British and Nag corporations through the anti labor American Potash & Chemical Corp, has been in dicted by federal grand jury in San Francisco on charges of creating a worldwide mon OpOly in vital bOrax, refusing to sell to Allied purchasing agents and maintaining price differentials in favor of Axis nations.
 The indictment for criminal violation of the Sherman anti trust act alleged that the Nazi- controlled AMPOT, Borax Con solidated Ltd. of London and its subsidiaries in California exer- cised a worldwide monopoly of mining, production and distribu- tion of borax, eliminating Amer ican competition and swallowing every company which entered the field between 1899 and 1916.
 The conspiracy charges are the result of a lengthy secret inves. tigatiOn of the cartel which began when the alien property custodian seized German held stock of the American Potash & Chemical Corp. in l942 after a Dutch banker told the Dept. of Justice that the cor pOratiOn was Cerman-owned.
 Organized labor had long since claimed AMPOT management acted like Nazis. The long, vicious anti labor record of this company reached its high point in the strikebreaking formula introduced unnecessarily in the Trona, Calif, strike of 1o4l, when l,250 workers held out for 3H months in an isolated, company owned desert town despite numerous back-to-work movements promoted by the company.
 During the year AMPOT was try ing to break the union, the cartel was trying to weaken the enemies of fas- cism abroad. It would not sell dehy- drated borates to lend-lease or the British and Australian purchasing commissions, insisting that these agen- cies buy bulk ores, Asst. U. s. Atty. Gen. Wendell Berge said.
 The Chinese government was forced to pay SIS more ton for refined borax than the Japanese before the war, the indictment re- vealed. The Polish government paid $l33 a ton while Germany paid $64, it said.
 The defendants obtained a 95% monopoly of the world supply of crude borate and l00%o of the world supply of sodium borate, mined only in California, the indictment contends. These minerals are essential in the production of steel, rubber, optical glasses and airplane and balloon fabrics.
 Along with the indictment a civil complaint was filed in federal district court seeking to enjoin further viola tions of the Sherman act and to ob- tain receiver to sell the property of Borax Consolidated and its subsidi- aries
 Commenting on cartel practices in the postwar world, Berge said : t'We can win military and poli- tical victory, but if we don't dig into this cartel problem, Germany can continue economic control.
