Asks About Radio Silence
TO the Roitor of The Star.

To the Roitor of The Star:
am wondering what is inducing the
radio news broadcasters not to say
word about the millions saved the needy
by Congress freezing the social security
tax instead of allowing it to be doubled,
as the President and Secretary of the
Treasury desired. These broadcasters
dwell at length on the increases in
taxes in the bill Congress passed over
the Presidents veto, but never say a
word about this saving for the needy.

Sees Resemblance to Humans

To the Editor of The Star:
l have small flock of turkeys and
there is one gobbler which ruled the roost
with an iron claw, spreading his tail
feathers and strutting and "gobbling"
to beat the band, until, 10 and behold!
something snatched out his tail feath-
ers. He struts no more, looks like the
last rose of summer, and goes off by
himself in the bushes and mopes.
The more I read, and the more I
listen to the radio, the more certain
am that turkeys and people are a great
deal alike.

singing, and, in his spare time,
became a popular vocalist on
various radio programs instead.
From being what he jokingly
refers to as ''the toast of Louis
ville," Dick went to Pittsburgh,
enjoyed undreamed of success
and then was grabbed up by
Hollywood for first motion pic
ture role in Blessed Event" for
Warner Brothers. This initial
film role was followed by the
greatest deluge of fan mail ever
to hit the studio, and an inn
mediate long term contract.
Dicks favorite sports are golf,
riding and swimming, and he
recognizes a good contra t
bridge hand when he sees it.
Oddly enough he can play with
little effort almost every type
of orchestral instrument, al
though no member of his family
had any musical sense whatso-
ever. Before Pearl Harbor, Dick
went in for boating at Newport
Beach, but his sailing craft has
now turned over to the coast
guard.

Hollywood's double feature
venture into politics brought ex-

voters in the May 16 primaries.
In dual roles of candidates
and campaigners, the glamour

backed candidates were Helen

of Melvyn Douglas, who won the
Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in the 14th district; Albert
Dekker, who won the Demo-
cratic nomination for state as
sembly in the 57th district; and
Lucille Gleason, wife of Jimmy
Gleason, who won the Demo-
cratic nomination for state as
sembly in the 59th district.
The campaign preceding pri-
mary day saw big names like
Olivia De Havilland, Rita Hay
worth, Martha Scott, Gloria Stu
art, Gene Kelly, Rex Ingram
and others step right off the
screen and take to the platform
and microphone to plug for can
