Bendix, who has appeared in a
number of amusing roles rang

brilliant heyday of gay
Broadway-and has come up
with what Hollywood pre-
view acclaim marks as the
years most enchanting and ex-
citing musical. The picture,
Damon Runyon'S Irish Eyes
Are Smiling" photographed in
Technicolor and starring Monty
Woolley, June Haver and Dick
Hayes, are now playing at the
Paramount Theatre.
The world of vaudeville, mus
ical comedy and Tin Pan Alley
reached its zenith in the years
just preceding the First World
War. And riding high at the
top of all figures of that world
was the man who not only wrote
songs of the people, but, as
variety headliner, sang them to
adoring audiences as well. His
name was on every music coun-
ter and in lights on leading the
aters. He was Ernest R. Ball
whose Mother Machree," boy
O. Mine" Let The Rest Of The
World Go By and Irish Eyes
Are Smiling still stand among
our beSt-loVed songs.
Damon Runyon Knew
Them When
Here was personality-and
a periodic conjure with. And
the man to do the conjuring-
to take the life of Ernest R.
Ball, and his melodies, and
mould them into a musical
screen triumph-was Producer
Damon Runyon. Runyon was
particularly impressed with the
story which goth Century-Fox
bought from E. A. Ellington be-
cause it was about people and
places he'd known and loved;
men and women with whom he
had worked and played, and
about whom he had written in
Vulnerable stories. 1t told the
story of Broadway as he liked
tn remember il. the Broadway
of Hammerstein's and the Pal
ace; the Broadway of the Cast
ono Girls and a Lehr operetta
at the Knickerbocker; the Broad
way of Terry McGovern's bar,
of ChurchilPs famous restaurant
and Reisenweber' Cabaret. 1t
was Broadway that made
Ernest R. Ball star.

OFFICERS LISTEN
TO DAVIS N0N-COM

CAMP DAVIS, May 10. - High
ranking officers perk up their ears
when Master Sergeant Leonard c.
Oliver, of Glouster, Va, has any
suggestions to make on height-find-
ers, one of the most important in
struments used in antiaircraft ar
tillery.
For Sergeant Oliver, an instruc-
tor at the Antiaircraft Artillery
School here, has the unique honor
of having his name mentioned in
no less than three army technical
manuals, as the inventor of 1.-The
Oliver Method.
The twenty-six year old enlisted
mans invention has resulted in the
saving of thousands of dollars to
the army by eliminating testing
indicator. The inv.e n t o n has
proved so successful that it has
been adopted by the manufacture
ers of this delicate instrument and
has reduced the time taken to re-
charge the height-finder to one
half.
The "Oliver Method" has been
approved by the National Defense
Research Committee and is used
as part of the instruction given
students taking the height-finder
course at the Antiaircraft Artillery
School.

MORSE DISCUSSES
RAILROAD TAXES
ACL Tax Agent Tells OF
Subject In Talk Before
Kiwanis Club

c. S. Morse, tax agent for the
Atlantic Coast Line Railway Com
pany, talked about taxes to the
Kiwanis club on Wednesday in a
sufficiently non-statistical way to
give the subject interest for the
man in the street He had to use
a few figures-big figures, at that
but presented them effectively.
For example, as he was discuss
ing railroad taxes specifically, he
noted that the $4,000, 100000 taxes
paid by American rail lines in 1913
is enough money to pay and feed
an army of 100000 men for an
entire year. Two billion dollars is
still beyond human comprehension,
but 0,000-man army is some
thing everybody can envision.
Then he said that the 1943 tax
payment of the lines would edu-
cate 1,450,000 children for a year,
and that the North Carolina pay
ments alone would cover the
schooling costs of $4,000 children
through an entire term.
Mr.. Morse traced the process
employed for getting railroad
properties upon the tax books,
starting with an annual inventory
and progressing to an analysis
thereof with hearings on valua-
tons and ultimate assessments the
final step. He pointed out that rail-
ways are the only transportation
systems which have not only to
pay their own way but contribute
large part of their earnings to
the support of government.
Always, waterways, highways
are largely paid for through gov
eminent subsidiesi n one form or
another, whereas railroads must
buy land for rights of way, erect
their own buildings and facilities.
pay for all rolling stock and equip
ment and then pay taxes to every
state and community in which
they operate. He cited what hap
pened following the last war when
government operation of the rail-
ways was instituted, and left his
hearers to wonder for themselves
what would happen to the national
revenue if the lines were relived
OF their tax bills.
Mrs. Jacob S wart entertained
the club with violin solos including
the Barcarole from The Tales of
Hoffman, The Old Refrain and She
Wore A Tulip, in which the mem
befs joined with customary male
lnharmonious enthusiasm.
Lieut.. Gussie Hefner, of - the
Woman's Army Corps, spoke
briefly on Wac recruiting and the
Importance of charging the force
that more men may be freed for
combat service. Women are need
ed for technical and supply duty,
she said, and urged the Kiwaniane
to speak a good word wherever
they can to encourage women to
volunteer for this branch of the
armed forces.
Guests, in addition to Lieutenant
Hefner and Mrs. Swart, were Har-
ry Dosher, home on furlough, Jack
Swart, and Frank H. Jeter of Ra-
leigh.

The purchase Of city automobile
tags has advanced more than 500

Parrish said the 1914 sales total
ed 4,875 to date; whereas, in 1943
the figure was 1850.
Parrish attributed the advance
in sales to the fact that the Caro-

Walker Says Democrats
Will Stand on War Record

SYRACUSE. N. Y, Jan. Is P.-
National Chairman Frank C. Walker
tonight urged the Democratic party
to stand on its war record in the
coming election and "the people will
see to it that we prevail"
I'VE shall 60 before the country
In this campaign year of 1914 and
report to the country what we did
and We shall not be afraid" he said
in a speech at a dinner meeting of
local party members.
Mr.. Walker declared in an inter-
view that he did not know whether
President Roosevelt would seek a
fourth term and added, It don't
think he knows himself" Onondaga
County Democrats presented Mr.
Walker a resolution indorsing q
fourth term.
The chairman conceded that ra-
tloning, wage stabilization and price
control are mot popular with every
one" but asserted the administra-
ton was doing its duty" in impos-
ing these controls.

Semitic movements. Some organize
hatred of the President and discord
in the Democratic party. Others
promote isolationism in the Repubi-
can party.
"One probable reason why some
of these wealthy isolationists so
strongly oppose the President and
the kind of peace he stands for may
trace to the fact that they have had
profitable relationships in the past
and hope to renew them with the
big German trusts.
The Vice President said the
United States had done almost twice
as good job in stepping up pro-
duction and in holding down prices
as was accomplished during the
World War.
The cost of living in American
cities has risen only about one
fourth since the beginning Of the
war in Europe, the Vice President
said, adding that in a similar length
Of time in the last war the rise was
more than twice as great.

Service Journal Favorable.
Urging prompt passage of q ma
tional service act, the Army and
Navy Journal, unofiicial service pub
lication, said editorially yesterday
that I'VE give this warning to the
Capitol:
Fed up on politics and wage
racketeering, the men in our armed
forces will watch the vote of every
Senator and every member and in
the coming elections they will not
forget the stand their respective
representatives took upon the issue
of national service"
The Journal said such law would
convince our Allies and enemies
that I'VE intend to use all our re-
sources to gain victory" cause those
in the armed forces "to feel that at
home we are marching shoulder to
shoulder with them," and, as q re-
suit Of this solid 'front.'" the war
would be shortened and countless
American lives saved.
Nelson States Policy.
In stating his policy toward
civilian production, Mr.. Nelson said,
THE WPB will use its power of
allocating materials and production
in order to minimize new demands
for labor in areas where every avail
able worker is needed by plants
already engaged in production for
the armed forces" He said the fol-
lowing considerations will govern
WPB action:
/. Materials will be allocated only
after WPB has determined that such
ALLEGATION will not interfere with
the manpower needs of war produc-
ton.
Q. WPB will not grant authority to
produce, purchase or use materials
which will cause an increase of en-
ployment in areas where labor
shortages exist or are anticipated
If the increase will endanger more
urgent production.
3. AS additional facilities and ma
terials become available, increased
production for civilian purposes will
be permitted only where it has been
ascertanied that there is a labor
supply, over and above the needs OF
war production.
In discussing WPB's action in the
Bridgeport and Los Angeles cases,
the manpower Official said the
agency was concerned over the COM
petitive positions of the firms and
took the steps to maintain their
position in the respective industries.
While agreeing that the fair compe-
tition problem was a dificult one,
he said it was WINGS contention
that such policy inevitably will
draw contracts to tight areas.
