Negro Workers
Support Nisei
In Job Fight

San Francisco, Calf. - Negro
workers in the Municipal Railway
System here stood squarely behind
a Japanese-American machinist
who filled civil service requirements
and was assigned to repair work on
buses. White machinists at first
threatened to quit work, but later
voted to stay on the job.
Negro workers, who have been
employed in large numbers on
buses, trolleys and cable cars here
during the war years, promptly mo-
bilized in support of the Nisei's
right to work. They were assisted
by Noah W. Griffin, in charge of
the West Coast Regional office Of
the NAACP here, and by Joseph
James, president of the San Fran
cisco branch NAACP. Also active
were the Mayors Council for Civic
unity and the Japanese American
Citizens League.
The machinist, Taxed Miyama, is
an American born Japanese who re-
turned to the Coast from one of
the relocation centers. The final ex-
cuse of the white machinists was
that they wanted the jobs held for
"San Francisco veterans regardless
of race, color, or creed, including
REPRESENTATIONS"
The position of the Negro work.
ers was that if movement to deny
employment to minority groups
goes unchallenged, it will not be
many weeks before the right of
Negroes to employment on the Mu-
nicipal Railway system will also
be challenged.

They go to a lot of trouble in Hollywood for authenticity's sake. They have to. Theatregoers are much more critical than they were ten years ago, and are becoming more adept at picking boners all the time
 Take, for instance, the earth quake sequences in Republics Flame of Barbary Coast starring John Wayne and Ann Dvorak, which is the current attraction al the Strand theatre. The memorable San Francisco earthquake and re- sultant fire of 1906 road into the climax in one of the most remark able sequences ever filmed. Build ings crumble, streets collapse an6 people dash into falling debris.
 In order to film those scenes, sets were constructed from photographs of the actual catastrophe. The Re- public wardrobe department studief the clothes the period, and researcl supplied the customs and singular ities of the time and people.
 Hearing the supporting cast in tn film are Joseph Schildraut, Virgini Grey, William Frawley and Russo Hicks. Joseph Kane acted as bot; the producer and director.
 The companion feature is "Roa to Alcatraz" starring Robert Lower anf une Storey.

War-hiked income taxes affect the "big name" feminine stars as they do their masculine counter parts, of course, But there is a second factor that Is bringing many new and pretty feminine faces to the screen in stellar roles or roles that should lead to stardom.
 That factor is the youth of most of the new male sensations. The producers simply had to dig up some younger screen heroines to go with those fuzzy-cheeked new film heroes.

The usual method is to put the new girl opposite some very pop ular mature star at first, by way of grooming her and introducing her to the right people" - that is, to you and you and you, her future film audience.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. I8-DEAF STAFF: In this mornings publicity barrage is the following item "Nancy Saunders, 20-year-old To. Angeles socialite, has been signed to contract by RKO. She was dis. covered while dining at the fam. ous Cocoanut Grove by Studio Tal- ent Scout Don Dillaway."
 That reflects phase of Holly wood life that has always puzzled me. How does @ talent scout, by merely watching lady eat her din- ner, or walk down the boulevard, oI perform some other normal func- tion of everyday life, detect talent?
 It happens every week. Not long ago talent scout signed girl I forget her name now---when he saw her staring moodily seaward from the deck of an Atlantic steamer. A few weeks ago, Director Preston Sturges, big game hunting in Schwab'S drug store where his fellow director Mervyn LeRoy bagged Lana Turner some years ago, spotted a young lady slipping a soda. There's talent!" he ex- claimed and, getting her name on the inevitable contract, he rushed her into the lead of an important picture.
 How do they do it? Do they judge the new finds acting ability by the way she tilts her chin, or the manner in which she manipulateS a soda straw? Is a slim ankle a sign of dramtic artistry, or is that determined by the flare of nos tril?
 You know, kiddies, there are times when l suspect that ''talent" may be the most overworked and mis-used word in the Hollywood vo- cabulary. In spite of all the high falutin press agentry about the new Hollywood'' which demands genius rather than beauty" a pretty face and a pair of shapely pins are still any girls best pass port to studio paychecks.
