ONE OF THE PLANKS of the
1882 platform of the Democratic
Party reads as follows: I'VE con-
denim the improper and excessive
use of money in political activities"
That the New Deal Party of to-
day has strayed far from the faith
of its fathers is a matter of public
knowledge, but few Americans
thought that the present political
administration would be so cynical
as TO throw overheard the last
semblance of trying 10 live up to
it's earliest platform promises, as
it did when it brought Sidney Hill
man, Lithuanian-born leader of the
Political Action Committee. into
the innermost councils of the par
ty.
Keeping Sidney Hillman out of
the White House is one of the ma
TONS gravest problems today, and
November Z, 1914, will determine
whether Americans will go for
ward with an American-minded
President and American advisers,
or whether we will continue in Of
flee an administration that is bent
upon using the best-Or wOrst-tal-
ents of men who want to make
over America.
The fact is, Sidney Hillman long
has been a favorite at the White
House. He comes and goes with
the ease of a cabinet member. He
enjoys the confidence of Roosevelt
to a degree that perhaps no cabi-
net member can boast. He helps
decide policies, regulations, legis-
lation. AS the Dies Committees re-
cent reports proved, he can get the
White House on the telephone
whenever he desires.
And it was Roosevelt himself
who is said to have directed his
party lieutenants at the Democratic
National Convention in Chicago
last July to CLEAR everything with
Sidney"-S Sidney Hillman, who con-
fesses he admires many things
about Communism!
Until recently, Hillman was only
a powerful White House adviser.
Now he sees greater opportunity,
greater power, within his grasp.
Now he leads the fourth-term drive

the New Deal Administration and

between 100000 pounds of black

of sausage and similar meats, and
meat professors.
A few New York importers, aid
ed by a New Deal agreement with
Great Britain, have cornered the
spice market while millions of
processed meats face spoilage in
this country. The owners refuse
to sell at OPA's price of 61s cents
a pound. OPA refuses to raise the
ceiling even though the CONNER
cial users are willing to pay sew
eral hundred per cent more. At the
same time, Government officials
admit that the cost of sausage and
prOcessed meats would not increase
if the ceiling price of black pepper
was increased.

The Thunderhead's mail now car
ries postmarks from strange and
faraway lands, from India to the
Aleutians; at least 60 per cent OF it
mentions Mona. She graces the
noses of at least three warplanes in
combat theaters.
Army pilots are responsible chiefly
for Mona's being known in overseas
theaters. They landed here, saw
Mona in the Thunderhead, and car
ried her triumphantly to the next
base.
Back from advance outpoSts to the
tickled ears of Thunderhead editors
have trickled tales of international
incidents.
One boy in Greenland was tossed
bodily into the snow by vengeful
buddies who thought he had pur-
loined their pinup of the Caribbean

Previously Mona was publicized
by Thrmderhead as a figure of al
most legendary beauty, too un-
earthly to be captured by ordinary
artists pen. Pictures of starlets
and scantily clad actresses were
carried with the apology: This is
not Mona" One day Flory, then
stationed at a nearby airbase, sent
in drawing of his conception of
the Caribbean queen, and Mona was
born. He since has been transferred
to the AAC public relations center,
and the pinup gal is his exclusive
job.
One of the gals main charms is
that although her figure retains it's
full, lush loveliness issue after issue,
the face is constantly changing.
Flory explains that she's no one
girl but a composite of all the love-
illness (sic) in the Caribbean, the
fulflllment of every serviceman's
dream. Much more of the latter
than the former, say the servicemen
Flory hasn't decided yet about
postwar career for Mona. 1t appears
likely, though. that she'll become
part of the American scene. After
all, 10000 0servicemen have given
her their unqualified approval.
And 100000 servicemen might be
wrong about some things-but not

geography would have much to do

Of Signe Hasso. The name may
not mean much to you, yet. But
take it anyway. When Ingrid Berg

her ideal was Signe Hasso.
Both girls have been in Hollywood
for a couple of years. Ingrid you
know about. Signe, not so much.
She is now completing her fourth
role In films, with Spencer Tracy, as
q slavey in "The Seventh Cross"
None of the other roles have been
very much either, except perhaps
in "Dr. Wassell," which you haven t
seen yet.
She Is Continental.
II you'd have tea with Signe
Hasso, as I did, you'd wonder why
it's taken Hollywood so long to
recognize so exciting a personality
as this slender, sparkling girl. She's
a complete contrast to Bergman and
Garbo, fellow Swedes from the Roya,
Iheater, for she Is sophisticated ir
an engaging way, more OF a cont.
mental type.

Directors Mifed
At Handling of
Academy Fete
By the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
The Screen Directors Guild, one
of the strongest of the powerful film
industry's unions, is pretty mad at
the Motion Picture Academy of Arts
and Sciences, and has voted ap-
pointment of a committee to make
representations and maybe put its
collective foot down fatty.
1t was a secret meeting that
lasted several hours and at its con-
clusion the directors were strictly
uncommunicative. This much is
known, however:
The directors are irked no end at
the way the academy handled the
annual merit awards session the
night of March 2.
It seems the academy had half an
hour or so of radio time to broad
cast the awards, but the program
was SO arranged that the winning
directors words weren't heard out
side of the theater where the Ses-
sion was held The speeches of
many other Oscar" winners we're
broadcast.
That's only one Of the things the
Directors Guild is peeved about,
however, said Mark Sandrich, it's
president. He didn't amplify but
intimated the committee will have a
number of items to take up with
Walter Wanger, academy president.
incidentally, Machael Curtiz, the
director who won the award for
"Casablanca'D and whose words
were the ones which weren't broad
cast, wasn't at the meeting Some
one said he was working and
couldn't attend
You may say" Sandrich de-
clared. that the Screen Directors
Guild will lodge a protest with the
academy over the way the direc-
torial award was handled. You may
even say it will be vigorous pro-
test"

II think making motion pictures
should be the most fun there is"
says Preston Sturges.
He tries to keep it that way and
| it's no effort with him. He eXudes
gags, hard work and good nature,
along with the zaniest working rou-
tine in business where zany things
are commonplace.
His new Office, the one he's taken
since going into business with a
silent for the duration partner
Howard Hughes, hasn't so much of
Sturges' individuality as the old one
at Paramount. But he has space re-
served for the cooking gimmicks
without which he can't live happily.
And Sturges has brought along a
few of his familiar props.
There is a life sized chrome of the
ideal American boy, used in Easy
Living" )" sickening picture of lad
in Buster Brown suit and a wide
sailor hat and pink Windsor tie.
First Boss Hangs on Wall.
Then there's the heavy gold
framed portrait OF "Mr. Smith,"
draped with huge black crepe bow
and streamers rivaling Mr.. Smiths
luxuriant hand1ebar moustache. Mr..
Smith was Sturges' first boss, Pro-
ducer Paul Jones of Paramount, and
the portrait was the one with three
exchangeable expressions that was
above Joel McCrea's bed in "Sulh-
vans Travels"
On Sturges' desk is a big brass bell
mouthed auto horn, with rubber
hand bulb. He squeezes that when
he wants his secretary.
On the bulletin board, among
other things, is a huge headline,
"Sextuplets Stupefy Science" from
THE Miracle of Morgan's Creek"
On another wall is the still photo
to end all still photos-it embodies
in one shot the 10 forbidden things
of the Hays Office code. 1t is quite a
picture. made for him by an admir-
ing cameraman.
Sturges' gags are not all of the
prop variety. Once he wrote this
note into scrip which he knew
would be read by Joseph Breen, the
Hays Office censor: "' Cut
this gown to the Breen line"
When Breen, In replying, topped
