In InHoIIYwood
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON
 NEA Staff Correspondent

HollyWood-Robert Young went to work in new movie the other day titled, ''I'hose Endearing Young Charms" The title should be: Those Enduring Young Charms. " The picture is Young's 77th- and 1945 is his 18th year as star for the same studio, M-G-M. It's a record hard to beat in this village where you can be the toast of the town one day and scraping toast in a restaurant kitchen the next.
 Young still looks as young as the day he made his film debut. But when he remembers Shirley Temple sitting on his knee in a movie when she was four and then sees her down dancing at Cro's. he admits: T get 8 little scared"
 He says he will never retire from the screen, though. Pie lures are my avocation as well as vocation" he says. "1d go nuts if I wasn't working"
 Young plays a young Air Force lieutenant on the make for La raine Day in Those Endearing Young Charms I'm a wolf" he says, but there's no smoke com- ing out of my noStrils.'
 YOUNG GROWS UP
 Young has missed out on a lot of roles because studio executives said he looked too young. Although he didn't get the role of Capt. Ted Lawson in Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" which he wanted very bad ly, a test he made for the part gave him 8 great deal of satisfac- tion. Studio executives looked at it and said: "Young, you're too old for the part"
 T practically kissed 'em," Young said. T guess I'm finally growing up."
 Paige Cavanaugh, longtime pal of Ernie Pyle and technical man on Pyle for "G. I. Joe." arrived on the set the other day at cru cial moment. Ernie, played by Burgess Meredith, was climbing in- to his sleeping bag. on cold night without anything covering his bald head. ! Cavanaugh gasped, then rushed to Director William We'll man and said that was the last thing Pyle would do that space of Pyle badness Is very sensitive They re-shot the scene - with Burgess wearing a stocking cap.

U-BOAT PRISONER STRAND PICTURE
Erik Rolf POrtrays Part of Ruthless Nazi Submar=
 inc Skipper

Although Erik Rolf does not par ticularly like portraying Nazi off, cers, or submarine Kapitans, he nonetheless throws himself into his work with an intnesity that is making him one of Hollywood's g leading opponents of such types of characterization. His current aS- signment as the ruthless Kapitan in Columbia's "U-Boat Prisoner, |" which is now at the Strand The atre, is no exception to the rule.
 Rolf was born June Il. 1911, in Chicago, of Norwegian percentage. He spoke nothing but Norwegian until he was four. Nevertheless. he became one of the youngest four minute speakers in the liberty Loan (World War D drive. He received a sound dramatic training on the stage and in radio and made his New York stage debut in 1899.
 Rolf's wife is the screen actress, Ruth Warrick. They were married at Trinity Luthern Church, New York City, April IS, 1888, and have two children.
 It really was Mrs. RoltS good fortune that was finally responsible for Eriks screen career. It seems that Orson Welles, whom Erik more than slightly resembles, met Mrs. Rolf and persuaded her to take a test for the role of his wife in Citizen Kane" She won the part and headed for Hollywood, leaving a very lonesome Erik in New York. Unable to cope with his loneliness, Rolf followed several months later and was signed to a long-term contract by Columbia Pictures.
 The companion feature is "One Mysterious Night" newest in the Boston Balckie' series and starring Chester Morris.

man authority to continue emer-
gency rationing until June 80.

CONSIDERIN' THE FACT that
my payday comes once a week
stead of monthly, and I get my K
rations served steamin' hot, ready
to eat at DonS, it IS pretty nice
to be back. No saluting, no
KIP and no guard duty. Now
that I'm with the News-H Herald
my work hours have been cut from
"a to 81 day, leavin' three whole
hours to find a pair of legs to COM
pare with those of the Mademoi-
selleS in France. The closest
approach so far is a little doll
that draws her salary from a GER
tain real estate agent out Northline
way. If that one costs us the AL
Heron account, take 1t out of my
salary, Mr.. @.
AND THAT, MIR. G., fills up this
space for another week. The

Fact Finding
Hearing In GIN
Strike Begins

WASHINGTON, Dec. 90 WD-
A government panel starts fact
finding hearings in the General
Motors wage dispute today amid
some fears that either the COM
pany or the striking union may
walk out.
The Go United Auto Workers,
whose 715,000 members have struck
at all GIN plants in the country,
will argue in behalf of the C1O
fight for a 30 per cent wage boost
without price increases. 1t con-
tends that GIN profits are enough
to meet that demand.
General Motors will argue in
dustry's position that the relation
ship of prices and profits is no bus
mess of the government or the
union in determining wage adjust
ments.
Lloyd K. Garrison, chairman of
the fact finding panel, said there
was some risk that GIN will refuse
to continue with the proceedings
Ii the panel decides to consider
profits when it takes wage recon-
mendations.
On the other hand, he said, the
UNIV may withdraw If the panel
rules the other way.
Garrison told newsmen the panel
might proceed anyway and hear
the one side which wished to pre-
sent it's evidence and then make
a decision.
Neither side will be bound by the
final recommendation
The first public hearing will be
devoted to the prices-profits issue.
The panel will then recess until
Saturday when It hopes to render
a decision.

recounted, and the proposals on the
two ballots were whether the city
or county should install the drain
The question was not whether
the city wanted it but merely
which of the two should install
1t. he added. In voting for Wayne
County Drain No. S, the city voted
away It's control of the project, the
councilman reported.
III 1886, the county installed a
sewage disposal plant and tied the
drain III with the plant and three
years later. in 1899, outside areas
were tied in with the drain, mainly
River Rouge, Ecorse, a portion of
Lincoln Park, and Riverview, to
take care of factory disposals, and
these areas pay the main pumping
charge at the same rate as Wyan-
dotte, ne continued.
Some relief should be given city
taxpayers, MIR. Rouse said, mas
much as the drain was overdesigned
originally, pointing out that the
tie-in Of other areas was proof of
his statement.
The 100000 drain was the CEN
ter of court battle between the
district and county over whether
it was to be considered a drain or
sewage system. State courts ruled
against the district and declared
that it would have to pay the
entire cost of the drain.
At the present time, more than
one-half of the 100000 charge
has been paid.
