Joe confided that he prefers to do
his 'make-believe killing with old
fashioned shooting irons.
Its not only more satisfactory
to the audience" he said, but you
can put more personality into it."
What about sword play?" we
asked.

good, but if realistic it is too CORY
for the average directors stomach
not to mention the Hays Office.
AS for indirect methods of mur-
der, they give an actor little artistic
satisfaction, but are well liked by
audiences, Sawyer believes.
"A favorite of Western directors
is the train wreck" he said. II have
done this by placing distractions
such as rocks or crossties on the
track. On one occasion, I twisted
the rails with dynamite"
In train wreck killing, however.
Sawyer doesn't think it is ethical
to count more victims than Just the
engineer or fireman, and maybe the
head shack or brakeman.

said. The stage rolled down a
steep hill and all aboard were in

That one was the hero. But as
moviegoers know, heroes in West
erns and other melodramas bear
charmed lives.
"Set.a building afre-they jump
out the window. Blow up a cabin
with dynamite-they land on a
brushpile. Disconnect the steering

Sawyer SAID he doesn't mind play
ing in psychological dramas where
the hero is killed in the last scene,
but he objects to such genteei
methods of murder as administer
ing poison. The most lenient homi-
eide he ever performed was a death

victim in the river.

There's one thing I won't do,

Way to

Washington. Feb. 2S-UP-Sen-
ate Democratic Leader Alben w.
Barkley today virtually abandoned
hope OF completing Senate action
on manpower legislation this week.
Barley told reporters the Senate
will lay aside the pending manpow-
err bill tomorrow to debate the
nomination Of Henry \. Wallace to
be Secretary of Commerce.
Il don't know how long the Wal
lace nomination will take Barley
said. 81 hope that it won't take
more than one day. But it reduces
the chances of finishing the man
power bill this week. We may
have it before us yet next Mon
day"
Barley said that a large number
OF senators still. haven't made up
their minds after two days OF de.
bate whether they will favor the
Administration backed labor draft
approved by the House or the less
drastic measure favored by the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
He said he expected the Senate
eventually to pass a bill which will
throw the whole question of man
power legislation into confer
ence between Senate and House
representatives.
He conceded. however. that If
the Allied drive in western Europe
should result in German collapse
before that time it would strength
en- the determination of some sena-
tors who are opposed to any man
power legislation at all.
