stage revue this week at the

Jan Murray is a past master in
the art of comedy, judging from
his ad-libbing and effective de-
livery of the laugh material. An
opening day audience lauded his
every funny gesture. his hilarious
Jokes and parodies. While not en-
tirely new, his material is fla
vored to suit the taste OF the
theater crowd.

Benny
Excellent

"A MEDAL FOR BENNY, /"
which opened at the Palms-State
yesterday, takes Us back to John
Steinbeck's Tortilla Flats" for an
other of those piasano stories
which he tells with such color
and dramatic warmth.
Although Dorothy Lamour and
Arturo de Cordova, who are
teamed for the first time, have
the romantic leads, the story
actually is concerned with the
father, ]. Carol Naish. who gives
a perfectly superb performance.
Despite the fact he's really
Irish and has spent most of his
film life playing tough racketeers,
Naish is amazing as the illiterate
part Spanish part Irish % d
Charlie" of Pantera, Cal.
A BLACK SHIEK
This small coastal town remem-
bers the Benny" of the plot as
being a wild lad who was run out
of town for beating up policemen
and for being the sweetheart OF a
lovely paisano girl, played by
Miss Dorothy Lamour, who finds
herself courted during Benny's
absence by De CordoVa, another
dashing scapegrace.
| She succumbs TO De Cordova'
advances, particularly when she
finds that Benny" hadn't beer
too faithful to her when he was
in town.
But she is particularly afraid
of hurting the old father, espe'
cially when Benny" is awarded
the Congressional Medal as a wal
hero-posthumously.
The town goes wild and the
local bigoted Babbitts do their
best to cash in on the publicity
which the former black sheer
gains as a result of his action ir
| battle.
A SURPRISE PICTURE
However, the father, Naish
does bask in the reflected glory
and the lovers are finally free tc
marry.
But it is not so much the pIor
as the excellent direction, the
ironic touches and the fine per
formance which make Medal fol
Benny" a surprise picture.
One of the, neatest touches is
that the principal character
Benny never appears on the
screen. adding much 10 the dra'
matte impetus of all the situations
Several scenes stand out in oul
cinematic minds eye, particularly
the fight sequence in the cafe anC
the beautifully underplayed scene
when Naish learns of his sons
| death.
AS we have inferred, it's Naish':
film, because we cannot subscribe
to the opinion that Miss Lamour
who gets her first big Straight
part in this one. is great dra
matte actress. She looks the par
of the half-Spanish girl, but she
is unable TO make herself appear
as Naish does, in any sort of nat
ural light.
De Cordova. however, is much
better than he was in French
mans Creek" and the supporting
Feast is top one.

ARTICLE VII

A MONG the 'socializing measures
"A pending in Congress are two bills
outwardly designed to provide federal aid
to education in backward" states and
communities.
Both bills are bad because they would
distribute federal money>not according
TO need, but in all the states of\the union,
INCLUDING RICH STATES THAT DO
NOT NEED FEDERAL AID; and be-
cause EITHER BILL would mean FED
ERAL CONTROL OF EDUCATION IN
any state accepting the aid.
The provisions of the bills themselves
show that FEDERAL CONTROL and not
AID TO EDUCATION is the real purpose
However, one bill-the Mead-Aitken
bills worse than the older bill-the
Thomas-Hill bill-for two reasons:
FIRST-It would require nearly twice
as much federal money for the same
avowed objective.
AS against $500, 600 600 to be spent dur
ing the first year under the Thomas-Hil
bill. the ead-Aitken bill would expend
$3.50, 100000
SECOND-The Mead-Aitken bill, un-
like the Thomas-Hll bill, would authorize
the use of federal funds to assist NON
PUBLIC schools as well as PUBLIC
schools.
THO CIRCUMVENT state constitutions
which prohibit the disbursing of pub
lie funds to nonpublic schools under the
doctrine of separation of church and
state, trustee" would be appointed by
the United States Office of Education to
disburse federal funds Independently of
the state to ANY SCHOOL not operated
for profit which complies with THE
MINIMUM EDUCATIONAL REQUIRE
MENTS OF THE STATE"
There is nothing IN the Mesd-Aitken
bill that prohibits federal aid to a mon
public" school that teaches atheism or a
political school conducted for the Com
munist party or any other subversive
movement.
Moreover, there is FEDERAL PRECE-
DENT for such thing.

DOTH of these bills would make the
ID United States commissioner OF edu-
cation a virtual dictator over education.
The commissioner would make rules
and regulations" for the administration
of the act as passed by Congress.
His office-and not the treasury de-
partment or the comptroller-general-
would audit the expenditure of the funds
distributed by him.
He would have coerclve power to WITH
hold funds from state or locality not
complying with his own rules and regu-
lations."
He would have An appropriation OF
S1.5OO,OOO a year to make surveys and
other studies pertinent to the best use
of the funds'-a continuous, countrywide
inouisition into state and local school ad-
ministrations. which could obviously
make or break any state or local
school official.
He would report each year on the
status of education "a ready medium Tor
the dissemination of propaganda from
the l.. S. Office of Education.
IN THE last Congress, Senators Taft
i Walsh, Wherry and Ball rendered a
caustic adverse report on bill OF the
same nature as these two which was then
pending.
They Informed Congress that NO
STATE had ASKED for federal aid IN
meeting educational problems
If the bill we're passed they said the
first appropriation of S300,00O,0OO then
proposed would be only start. Future
appropriations would soon mount into
billions of dollars at time when the
federal government would be paying IN
terest on the three hundred billion dollar
war debt and should be striving to reduce
excessive federal taxation.
These senator's also reminded support
ers of the bill that powers not delegated
to the federal government by the Con-
stitution are fully reserved to the states.

Compulsory Arbitration

THE proposal for compulsory arbi-
L tration of labor disputes by COM
petent and impartial federal agencies
has long had strong public support,
and is now disclosed by authoritative
surveys to have even stronger sup
port in the ranks of organized labor.
Unfortunately organized labor
LEADERSHIP in the United States
continues to oppose compulsory arbl
tration, and consequently it still lacks
recognition and acceptance as an
economic instrument both beneficial
and advantageous to labor.
American labor leadership is un-
questionably obstructing the national
interest in this matter, and should
realize that it is also obstructing
the best interests of which are
not separate but INSEPARABLE
from the real and basic national in
terests.
The best proofs of these facts are
to be found in Australia, which has
had long experience with labor gov
ernment" and even longer experience
with compulsory arbitration.
A USTRALIA has had federal arbi-
"A tration of labor disputes for
more than FORTY YEARS, the first
court" under the system having
been established in 1904
The era Of Labor government is
Of much more recent date in Aus
tralia, but it is significant that with
the advent Of this era the system Of
compulsory arbitration was not
abandoned but became more firmly
entrenched as national institution.
In other words, the system of
compulsory arbitration which had It's
founding in period Of conservative
government was supported and con
tinued during the succeeding periods

which surely could not have existed
If the system had been In any manner

tration court and defied 1t and a
grave political crisis resulted, with
one element demanding abolition of
the arbitration system and the oppo-
nents urging It's retention.
The significant factor in the situa-
ton was that it was the CONSERV
ATIVE group headed by Bruce Page
which advocated abolition, and 1t was
LABOR which opposed.
AND a LABOR GOVERNMENT
"A came into power by a big ma
jority in consequence CT the issue,
and the system of compulsory arbi-
tration was retained.
AS the instance of the maritime
unions defiance in 1926 suggests,
Austrahas s experience under COM
pulsory arbitration has not been
entirely perfect.
In spite of acceptance of arbltra
tion awards being required by law,
instances of defiance have occurred.
But both unions and employers
have been prosecuted and fined
And recourse to strikes and lock
outs has been made infrequent, If not
altogether prevented.
What Australia has achieved
under compulsory arbitration is IN
creasing and welcome and profitable
INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
And the element in Australia
most benefited by and most energetic
in support of the system is LABOR,
A UsTRALIAN interests generally,
"A and Australian labor interests
particularly, are convinced that the
only alternative to compulsory arbi-
tration would be a return to the
Jungle law" of strikes and violence.
American PUBLIC opinion has
