HOLLYWOOD, Nov. IS.-The other day a Los Angeles newspaper featured on its dramatic page 8 two-column photograph of William Eythe and Signe Hasso in one an- others arms. Under it was the caption: Romance blooms amid deadly suspense of plot against A. Bomb in The House on 92d Street'!"
 If you saw that movie you will realize at once that the caption and photograph were com- pletely misleading There is no love interest in the picture. At no time do Signe Hasso and William Eythe fall into one another's arms. Instead, they are deadly enemies. The photo printed in the paper seems to be, therefore, a deliberate attempt to mislead theater-goers, many of whom reserve their admis- sion fees exclusively for screen TO- mances.
 Twentieth Century-Fo bosses may be interested to know that a half-a-dozen fans who noted this deceptive publicity and resented 1t as unfair advertising, wrote me letters expressing their ire. It might interest all studio czars to know that hundreds of theater-oW are indignant because of the grow ing Hollywood tendency to use stills for publicity and lobby displays which have little or no relation to the actual scenes of the movies ad- Vertised. The exhibitors have a right to be irked; they are blamed by their patrons.
 False advertising, in the long run, is always bad advertising. It's par tlcularly bad in the case of an in- dustry which, more than any other owes direct debt to the consumer" since it is not selling an essential product.
 RKO's "COrnered," previewed the other night, is top-notch melo- drama that will keep audiences in an emotinal dither. But I ques- ton it's effect on the popularity of Dick Powell. despite the fact that he gives a fine performance. Powell, apparently obSeSsed by @ yen to make fans forget that he ever specialized in pretty-boy crooner roles, is carrying his current tough guy portrayals too far. In Cor nered,' working with 8 three-day stubble of beard in three scenes out of four, he acts so hard" that he becomes unsympathetic-a venge- full boor rather than a hero. Judg- ing from the feminine comment ill the preview theater, Dick is mak- ing an unfortunate mistake.

The lily Touch Football league started it's sixth round last night at the Central Y with the Artisan club defeating the Ramblers 28-14. Havoc of the Artisan tossed four touchdown passes, two to Mehan and one each to Downey and Gentil.

The fact that Robert Taylor, in negotiating his new MGM contract, insisted on guarantee that he will be permitted to turn director after a few more years before the cam eras, is interesting because it illus trates a trend, and condition. Taylor is not alone in his ambition Almost every star know is schem- ing to become a director the mo- ment his acting career begins to wane. Primarily, think, the trend is the result of economic conditions. It's no longer possible for a star no matter how big his paychecks may be-to save 8 fortune during the few years that peak popularity lasts. Taxation prevents it. As a consequence, it's necessary to plan careers on a long-term basis. By eventually becoming directors, stars remove the "age limit" on their ca- reerS.

Thursday at the Loew-Poli theater with William Eythe, Lloyd Nolan and Signe Hasso in starring roles.
 Signe Hasso, in this her fifth cinema role, portrays a beautiful but brittle, cunning, secret agent. Lloyd Nolan plays the part of a Federal agent for which he was packed off to the FBI training school and given a rudimentary training where he picked up enough knowledge to portray G-Man tac- tics. William Eythe plays the part of a German American who, trained by the Nazis at their school for spies and saboteurs, and working with the FBI, finds himself caught in the meshes of the dangerous schemes of the designing Signe Hasso.
 The co-feature is the entertaining Club Havana" starring Tom Neal and Margaret Lindsay.

PLANE OUTPUT HIT
NEW HIGH IN 1914

Washington, D. C.-In production
effort corresponding to the record
breaking achievements of other war in
dustries last year, the country's air
craft plants turned out 96,369 planes
of all types in 1914, with total air
frame weight of 1,112,000,000 pounds
j. A. Krug, chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board, announced in year
end report.
Even with planned reductions in
aircraft production undertaken as
early as last summer, when the first
cutbacks were announced, the output
in 1914 was substantially greater
than the previous record of 85,94e
planes delivered in 1943. In air-frame
weight, the achievement was even
more impressive, since total weight
of all planes last year exceeded by
about SO per cent their total air-frame
weight in 1943.

Industry, Farmers Join
With Labor Against The
National Service Scheme

Washington, DH C.-Industry and
agriculture joined with labor on the
AFL's first radio program of 1945 in
opposing the Presidents recommends
ton for national service legislation.
At the same time representatives of
all groups, speaking on the america
United" program on nationwide
NBC network, agreed on the necessity
of all-out voluntary effort on the part
of workers, employers and farmers to
back up our fighting forces with
everything they need for victory.
Phil Pearl, representing the AFL on
the opening forum, disclosed the Fed
eration's program te 'lend-lease"
workers from non-essential industries
to critical war plants.
DR.. Emerson P. Schmidt, represent
ing the United States Chamber of
Commerce, declared that industry
would be glad to cooperate with labor
in this program.
For the farmers, Paul Sifton, repre-
senting the National Farmers Union,
called for more effective utilization of
farm labor and farm machinery, now
that the Selective Service System is
drafting more and more farm boys in
to the armed services.
Discussing the Presidents request
to Congress for national service act
involving compulsion, Pearl said:
"The important thing to remember
is that no legislation, not even COM
pulsory service, will create more man.
power. It's purpose is to get more
effective use of manpower. If labor
felt such law would accomplish this
purpose, we would agree to go along.
But we emphatically don't think SO. y
DR.. Schmidt said:
eve agree with you. Our produc-
tion under voluntary method has
exceeded that Of our enemies or our
allies with their compulsory laws
The Government itself has not yet re-
duced non-essential work greatly
Some businesses are boarding labor.
Let us cut out the waste and labor
boarding before we use coercion"
Sifton. also agreed that labor, in
dustry and the farmers can "deliver
the goods" with better cooperation
from the Government and more clear
and consistent picture Of the nations
production needs. He warned that fol
all of us on the home front who be-
lieve sincerely in voluntary action as
against compulsion, the time has come
to "fish or cut bait"

Old Age Insurance
Now Provides Coverage
For 80 Million Persons

Washington, D. C.-More than &c.
100000 American men and women will
enter 1945 with insured status in the
old-age and survivors insurance pro-
gram of the Social Security Act, ac-
cording to a year-end summary of
operations presented by Arthur j. Alt
mayer, Chairman of the Social Secur-
ity Board.
Under the old-age and survivors
insurance program, the monthly bene-
fit rolls rose to 100000 men, women
and children, eligible to receive $780,
100000 monthly. The figures were
estimated as of December 81.
Monthly benefit payments were
awarded to 324,OOO new applicants
during the year, and lump-sum bene-
fit payments were made to 208,000
survivors of insured workers who left
no one Immediately entitled to month
ly benefits. The estimated total of
old-age and survivors insurance pay
ments certified for 1914 was 1885,
100000 in monthly benefits and $22,-
100000 in lump sums.
More than 60 per cent of the month
ly beneficiaries are women and chill
dren, counting some women who have
retired and claimed benefits in their
own right, rather than on account of
retired or deceased husband.
Wage credits towards future bene-
fits were earned during the year by
as, ,000, 900 workers for themselves and
their families, and the total Of persons
with some wages credited to their ac-
counts is now approximately 10000
900. New accounts were set up dur.
ing 1914 for 100000 workers.
Sharp cutbacks, if accompanied by
widespread lay-offs Of older workers
Altmeyer said, could practically
double the benefit rolls with in a year
More than 100000 men and womer
past age 65 are in fully insured status
and have not claimed benefits but
could do so any day.

Fention Hits "Hysteria,"
Says Manpower Squeeze
Is OF Local Nature Only

Washington, D. C.-National Or
ganization Director Frank Fenton,
who serves as the AFL representative
on the War Manpower Commissions
management-labor committee, declar-
ed that an 'unwarranted hysteria"
over manpower was disturbing en-
ployers throughout the country.
He contended the difficulties were
strictly of local and specific nature.
He also said that official figures re-
futed statements that unusually large
numbers of workers had voluntarily
left war production for peace-time
jobs.
Mr.. Fenton insisted there is no gen.
eral manpower shortage. "I don't like
substituting hysteria for common
sense" he said. "This is disturbing
all employers in the country, when
the problem is specific bottlenecks.
Our problem is the utilization of exist
ing manpower and skills."
Mr.. Fenton said his entire organiza-
ton staff in the field is committed to
the current manpower recruiting and
channeling program. Labor did not
subscribe to some Of the Governments
methods Of attacking manpower prob
lens, he said, but 1--WE made up our
minds we would obey our Government
and go along and do the best we
can"
AS an example of compulsion he
opposed, he cited the enforcement of
employment ceilings in less-essential
industries. Mr.. Fenton said that if
an employer with 800 workers is or
dered to cut his force to 500, most
likely he will lay off his most in
efficient help, or his oldest employees,
or women. He contended that the re-
suit would be a pool of unemployed
rather than an increase in the mu-
nitions labor force because many, if
not all, of those laid off would not be
useful in munitions.
l
local management-labor committees
tackle the problems. Employers pro-
ducing less-essential goods would be
called in and asked to lend specific
number and type of workers to plants
critically in need of such help to meet
munitions schedules.
Referring to impressions that large
numbers of workers were quitting mu-
nitions for peacetime jobs, Mr.. Fenton
cited findings of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics which showed that the quit
rate in all other manufacturing was
at least / percentage point higher
than in munitions every month in
1914 through September.

FRIDAY, JANUARY, 10, 1916
LESSON NOT LEARNED

Judging by the military services
support of the May ''work- fright
bill, they have not taken to heart a
lesson they were supposed to have
learned 2 years ago. Then, after find
ing that too many of the older mer
were in hospitals and were not fitted
for active military service, the Army
ordered the discharge of most mer
over 38. Not all were let out and some
are still in the service, leading to bit
ter resentment on the part of their
families, reflected even at this date
by letters to the newspapers.
But now Selective Service, the War
and Navy Departments are backing
the May bill, which provides for the
induction into special service units
of all men between 18 and As (note
that "45') who give up or refuse to
take essential war work. This law
would force some men into war work,
which is it's objective, but others would
land in the Army and Navy, to add to
overcrowding in the service hospitals,
slow down Army and Navy training,
pile up Taxpayers burdens and cause
all sorts of trouble.
In February, 1913, international
Labor News Service and this paper
said: Results of service of men of
38 and beyond has shown that in many
cases they are not physically fitted
for the rigors of Army life as enlist
ed men. Too large a proportion of
them have landed in hospitals, as the
Army should have known would be
the case. Many have been almost, if
not quite, a total liability to the Army
Generally speaking, the older men,
especially those in their 40's, would
have been of far more service to their
country if left at their jobs, paying
income and other taxes, buying war
bonds, helping in civilian defense, aid
ing in other ways"
What was said in the foregoing ap-
plies with equal or more force now
to taking men from SO to as for SER
vice in the armed forces.

COMMENT on WORLD EVENTS

Michael Foot, columnist for the
Daily Herald Of London, official organ
of the British Labor Party, in an art
icle entitled "Was 1t For This They
Suffered and Died?" makes pertinent
comment on international policies
which threaten to bring new world
rivalries and conflicts. He says in
part:
"Picture then the future being pre-
pared for us if the present policies
reap their fulfillment. Is this the Eu-
rope and this the world that we are
working for and millions are fighting
for? A Poland ruled by the Lublin
Committee, which, whatever other
merits it may claim, does not repre-
sent the mass of the Polish people and
is hardly likely to receive joyous
reception in the streets of stricken
Warsaw?
Communists may protest that they
find part of the program perfectly
agreeable, but not all the follies OF
the Polish Government can establish
the Lublin Committees. claim to be 9
national administration. For 63 heroic
days Warsaw took its orders from
London and not from Moscow, and M
amount of Jesuitical disputation car
disguise this fact"

Arthur Greenwood, outstanding Labo-

Now that these Jewish children
