IKE most movie stars. Gary

perience on the receiving end Of the
double-take. People pass him in the
street, look casually at the tall,
gaunt stranger. and then their eyes
pop and they look again.

they finally ask.
Cooper shuffles his feet. looks
around helpiessly. and admits to
the charge. Then he signs auto
graphs usually with a sense OF
relief at having something to do
with his hands, and departs as grace
fully as he can.
This little scene has been enacted
thousands of times during his screen
career, and only once was there
variation. That was recently when
he visited the hospital at Mitchell
Field, where planes were bringing IN
wounded from France.
Cooper. on his trip through the
wards. stopped at one bed and waved
his hand in friendly greeting at one
of the wounded soldiers. The soldier

still amazes him. To hear him talk
he might be just in for the rodeo.
His small boy quality - his bash
fulness. his capacity for getting ex-
cited over simple pleasures - is no
pose. Hollywood has tried hard to
change him, to make him live up to
the importance of his roles in such
consequential films as Farewell to
Arms Pride OF the Yankees.
For Whom the Bell Tolls" In his
latest Casanova Brown" they have
tried to ''untype" him by casting
him as a small town LOthario.

Bur Gary Cooper insists on being
typed. If he had his way, he would
play cowboy all the time.
Eventually. all the important
actors on the screen turn to produc-
ing. Cooper. too. is going to produce
films and act in them.
When the deal was made, Inter
national Pictures held a conference
on his first production. Cooper set
tied it in one sentence. ''l'm go

"You mean an epic Western" one
of the executives suggested hope

When Cooper was new in pic

CooPER got so dependent on him
that he finally put him on his pay
roll. The prop man became his no

One day Cooper went up to his
mentor. Say. fellow, I'm thinking
of getting married. What do you
say?'
NO." said the prop man. Tell
her no.
Incidentally, the prop man today
is a producer in Hollywood - the
only movie executive who owes his
career to his capacity for saying
no" And Gary Cooper is happily

Curtain
Goes Down

COLUMBUS, Nov. 28-Wlth
the close of the pheasant, Hun
and grouse season Saturday, re-
ports indicate that game bag re-
suits are just fair. Conservation
Division field men were very
much on the job enforcing the
game laws, giving first aid when
needed and advising the hunters.
Law violation was not lacking
and over 200 arrests were made
the first two weeks for such
flagrant transgressions as hunt
ing too early, shooting in clearly
marked refuge areas, taking of
hen pheasants (the golden egg
layers) and early trapping. The
number of arrests just about
equalled those of the same
period last year. There were
fewer deaths and injuries from
accidental gunfire mishaps in
Ohio than in any recent year
due in part to intensified safety
campaigns by the Division of
Conservation and many conser,
vation clubs and youth organi-
cations.

SEATTLE, Wash. OPA) -
Close on the heels of reports

months have come assurances to
Boeing workers making the B-29
Super-Fortresses that they will

Members of the Init. Assn. of

work at peak speed on a pro-
gram of producing B-29's that
will extend well into 1916, have
already seen plans for the new
luxury plane in their union
paper.
The new super airliner, desig-
mated the Boeing 377, will carry

treme range and the highest of
airline speeds, and will have the
unprecedentd low direct operat-
ing cost of cent a passenger

Employment


Employment in twenty
major Detroit war plants has
declined approximately "a
per cent from peak wartime
employment, R. j. Thomas,
president of the UAW-CIO, de-
clared today. He asserted that
current lay-offs have been par
ticularly m marke d at Murray
Body, Packard, Briggs, Chrysler
Tank Arsenal and Bohn Alumi-
mum plants.
Thomas declared that the stu
alton calls for relaxing, in some
plants, of President Roosevelts S
executive order fixing 48 hours
as the minimum work week in
war plants. Take home" pay
should be maintained, he urged.
"The prime interest of the
UAW-CIO, in common with all
patriotic Americans, Thomas
declared, lis the winning of the
war. We want production main
tanned at maximum so that our
armies and those of our allies
may have all the guns, tanks,
planes and ammunition they re-
quire for the Knockout blows
against Germany and Japan.
Not Proposing 40 Hours
1.-The UAW- -CIO is therefore
not proposing as was errone-
ously reported few weeks ago,
that we return to universal 40
hour week in the automotive in
dustries. We believe that the 43
hour week is still necessary in
most war plants.
For the first time since the
war, the international union has
become aware of an unemploy-
ment problem. Members of our
union, anxious to take part in
the war effort and TO earn liv-
ing, are being denied these OPP
portunitieS.
81 am therefore suggesting, for
plants where lay-offs have taken
place, that the Presidents execu-
tive order be relaxed so that
hours of work may be reduced
to 45 or 40 a week so that a
greater number of workers may
be absorbed. In this way, the
current waves of lay-offs can be
minimiZed.
in view of these lay-offs, it
is hard for the members of the
UAW- -CIO to understand the
continuous stress being placed
on an alleged labor scarcity in
this area. We need some realistic
and action on this situ-
ton, so that the interests of our
industrial war effort and those
of our war workers may be
coordinated."

.Vitamin Trust
Robs Public

CHICAGO, Noe. Is LPA
The vftamin fad is almost
sheer robbery of the public,
DR.. Edward L. Tuohy, med
ical chief of the Duluth
(Minn.) Clinic, recently told his
colleagues of the American Di-
etetics Association. The midwest
expert said that 1850 of the
vitamins bought by the public
are an utter waste"
At the same time, the Anti
trust Division of the Justice De-
partment started to get tough
about the 5000, 100000 year
vitamin business. Particularly
the Antitrust Division didn't
like the smell of the Wisconsin
A u m n Research Foundation
which started out as an ultra
respectable academic and scien-
tific group and has ended up as
something close to a monopoly.
The Alumni Foundation was
organized to avoid the very evils
of monopoly that it has pro-
duced. AS scientific research un-
earthed more and more facts
about vitamins group of Uni
versity of Wisconsin alumni ini-
tiated the Foundation to keep
the patents out of "the grasp of
commercialization." Their in
tent was to make vitamin re-
search and new discoveries
available to the greatest number
of people at the lowest possible
cost. Actually, according to
Justice Department attorneys,
the opposite has occurred. Prof
its from the patents have,
through one devious way or an
other, fallen into the hands of
some of the nations biggest cor
porations and trusts.
AS a result, the Antitrust
Division recently charged in a
patent suit brought in Chicago
that the Foundation conspired
with Is companies to kill off
competition in the field of Vita
min D production and to lower
the strength of that vitamin as
used in bread and other food
stuffs. The companies included
Standard Brands, Inc, Parke
Davis Co., manufacturer of
chemicals and drugs, Pet Milk
Co., and E. l. Dupont de Mem
ours.
Upshot of the whole matter
was a demand by the Justice De-
partment that the patents be
thrown into the public domain
so that any manufactures who
wished to make the product
could do so.

JUST DEMANDS

JUST DEMANDS
In spite of the fact that all re-
sponsible agencies have admitted
the Justice of labor's demands
for an upward revision or out
right rejection of the Little Steel
formula, Sterilization Director
Vinson has come out flatly for
holding the line.
OPA admits that the cost OF
living exceeds the figures of the
BIS index and that the index
is not an index of living costs,
but rather an index of retail
price changes. And OPA Off
cials talk about doing something
about the rapid rise in price OF
some commodities especially
clothing. However, so far it has
only been words and no effec-
tive action has been taken.
The War Labor Board forced
to some kind of a decision by
the Steel Workers demands for
an upward revision of the Little
Steel formula, has resorted to a
policy of appeasement which so
far has failed to appease either
side in the controversy and
while some steel workers will
undoubtedly be benefited, moth
ing has been done to ease the
plight of the white collar and
fixed income groups who have
suffered most from the rise in
prices.
1t would seem as though the
only course left for the wage
Garner to follow, is to exert
enough pressure on our elected
representatives in Congress SO
that they in turn put the heat
on the responsible agencies to
see that a roll back in excessive
prices becomes a fact instead of
topic of conversation. Labor
is tired of double talk and emp
ty promises. We have been given
the run-around too often. 1t is
time that some appropriate ac-
ton be taken.

Full
Employment
By Ruth Taylor

Full employment is t h e
big problem of tomorrow =
and tomorrow is at hand!
But this great problem is
not an issue in which we
have only selfish interest. Full
employment in America will af-
feet the whole world. AS Wal
ter Lippman said, 1--WE are now
such a preponderant part of the
economy of the world that un-
less here at home we attain the
stability of full employment,
we shall be a force for disorder,
rather than for order every
where"
We have learned the bitter
lesson that no democracy is
secure anywhere in the world
when tyranny reigns anywhere
in the world. We have learned
the bitter lesson that not only
can no nation remain half slave
and half free - but that no
world can remain half slave and
half free.
Do we need another bitter
lesson to learn that there can be
no enduring prosperity for one
country and not for all? Free
dom of body is small solace to
hungry man. Patriotism does
not thrive on hunger. Unless we
establish in all countries a sys-
tenn removing the shadow of
hunger from anyone that is
willing to work, there will be
no freedom anywhere.
SOLUTION IN DEMOCRACY
am not advocating any sys-
tenn of world philanthropy. But
| am saying that full employ
ment here in America is not
just question of earning
living for us alone. We must
prove here in America that in
democracy lies the solution of
the peace problems, that we can
maintain not only our freedom
of thought but that with our
American system of free enter
prise we can continue our high
standards of living and wipe out
the dread spectre of unemploy-
ment, of postwar depression.
We must prove the worth of
our faith in our way of life, if
we want to make a permanent
peace.
There is light on the horizon.
Not for us the mistakes of ignor-
ance which followed the last
war. The leaders of Labor have
led the way in planning and in
warning the nation. Govern
ment has been planning from
the beginning for the great
change to come. Industry too
sees the Importance. AS Paul
Hoffman, Chairman of the Com
nlittee on Economic Develop
ment said, "Any idea that, once
the war is over, we should go
back to pre-war standard of
living is at variance with our
whole progress in American
tradition. We cannot and must
not go back to pre-war levels
of production, of employment,
nor to pre-war levels of wages"
All of us feel the same. All
of us are thinking along the
same lines. If we will all work
together, we can lick this spec
tre and win a permanent peace |
of prosperity.
We must prove that 100000
900 people stemming from all |
the four corners of the earth |
can live together and together
create a real Democracy where
a workman is an American
workman, not an Irish work
man, not a Polish workman, not
an Italian workman, not Jew
iSh workman, a Catholic work
man, a Protestant workman, but |
just an American.
