Hollywood to the fact that she
made friends with the right people.
These were not the studio bigwigs
but the stenographers, electricians,
manicurists, dressing-room attend
ants, script girls. Whenever her
option was due to expire, they
pitched in to save the situation.
1t worked something like this:
The manicurist would jab at the
boss's cuticles. His attention thus
captured. she would remark, when
is that cute little Diana Lynn going
to be in a pitcher again? Amt she
a darling?"
The Great Mans masseur would
pause long enough from humping
the boss's glntens ma1imns to OBJ
serve: "You know who is it l like.
boss? Diana Leen."
Voice Of the People
HE secretary, digging something
out of the files. would extract also
the waning Diana Lynn contract.
Shall I send in memo to renew on
this, MIR. Bigstuff? It's on that
awfully sweet Lynn girl"
This was the voice of the people.
The executive could hardly afford
to ignore it. He may have forgotten
all about Diana; have no notion of
what she looked like. but the name
registered now, and he nodded and
affixed his seal to the new option.
This went on for four years, but
she still wasn't getting the parts.
The trouble was, she was in that
indeterminate state of adoles-
cence when youthful stars tend
to disappear rather than to
emerge. For every suggested role
she was either too young or too old.
Miss Lynn solved the problem the
reverse way. Instead of pretending
to be older, she dropped few years
from her age She was l6 when she
played the kid sister in THE Miracle
of Morgan's Creek" She claimed
glibly to be Ia, and played it that
way. Not bobby-sox but ultra
sophisticated Ia.
Miss Lynn is l8 today. and doesn't
have to lie about her age. one way or
the other. She hasn't Topped, either.
First Screen Kiss
PARAMOUNT starred her in a roman
tic comedy lead in Our Hearts
We're Young and Gay" She plays
the youthful Emily Kimbrough. Also
she has had her first screen kiss, in
picture called "Out OF This World"
The first screen kiss is an awesome
occasion for iedgling screen ac-
tress. The practice she may have
had off screen is irrelevant. To the
studio this is her official Coming of
Age, and there are momentous cere-
monies. ALI the studio heads and
workers crowd around the set, the
executives, the directors and assist
ant directors, the film stars from
other sets, the total publicity staff.
There is a hushed pause.

for the Big Moment was Eddie
Bracken. As his lips drew near, she
screwed up her face agonizingly and
waited. Eddie drew back and pre-
tended to be indignant. "All right,
so I'm not Clark Gable. But you
don't have to make such face"
Diana spent half the day trying
to assure him that she hadn't mind
ed in the least. Not really.

She's \ Quix Kid

~AeS - SSAo AsS~
The truth of the matter is that
Diana Lynn is hardly the sophisti-
Gated imp she portrays on the screen.
She is never bored. and never impu-
dent. She loves people, and people
are crazy about her. A starry-eyed
look. a wistfulness. appears on the
faces of her movie associates when
they talk about her.
The one thing she possesses to a
frightening degree. however, is pre-
cociousness. She is veritable blue
stocking. an alarming quiz kid.
Miss Lynn has virtually aban-
doned her first love - the piano -
in favor of Hollywood's more glam-
orous future - somewhat to her re-
get; more to her fathers.
Il don't think he likes the idea
of my being movie actress" says
Diana. But he hasn't objected;
that is. not violently"
Diana recently met Miss Kim
brough. co-author and co-heroine of
"Our Hearts Were Young and Gay"
Diana was terrifically impressed.
She's the sort of person who col
lects incidents. Nothing ever hap

Charges that heads of Federal

jobs through departmental re-
organization, are conducting a
whispering" campaign against
the bill giving President Truman
broad powers to revamp the
Government were made today
before a congressional subcom-
mittee by Controller General
Lindsay C. Warren.
Mr.. Warren testified before a sub
committee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee in favor of the bill
granting President Truman author
ity to group, consolidate or abolish
Federal agencies in the interest of
more efficient government operation.
II fully recognize the right of any
agency head to oppose this meas
ure,' Mr.. Warren said. But 1t is
too much to hope that those in
public Office through appointment
by the President or hold Office by
his sufferance should come before
this committee and express their
views, rather than try to scuttle it
with whispers, to undermine it while
giving no opportunity to answer?"
Rumors Are Circulated.
The committee was told rumors
were being circulated around Wash
ington that the authority of quasi
judicial and legislative agencies
would be undermined under any
Presidential reorganization plan.
Referring to another rumor, Mr.
Warren said: Nobody is going to

Mr.. Opper, who related in a

Laws Favorable in II;
Situation Grows More
Confusing, George Says
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Nineteen States had informed
the Senate Finance Committee
up to noon today that their
present laws would not enable
workers to benefit from the ad-
ministration plan to add Fed
eral money to State unemploy-
ment compensation, to bring 1t
up to a maximum of $25 a week
for 26 weeks.
Eleven States thus far have made
replies indicating the plan to sup
plement State payments with Fed
eral aid could operate under their
existing laws
The answers prompted Chairman
George of the Senate Committee to
observe that the pending Kilgore
bill, instead of bringing about
greater uniformity in State laws,
would add to the confusion"
New Bill May Be Delayed.
These developments strengthened
previous indications that both the
House and Senate committees will
rewrite the measure, and may delay
presentation of a new bill to the
Senate next week.
The survey of State laws was be-
gun when Claude A. Williams, a
Texas official, testified last week that
under Texas law any supplemental
Federal payment made to an unem-
ployed worker would have to be de-
Quoted from the Texas payment.
The net result would be that the
worker would get the same weekly
benefit he now receives, except part
of it would come from the Federal
Government.
The kilograms thus far indicate
most of the States have a provision
disqualifying a person in that State
if he claims or receives unemploy-
ment compensation from any other
State or the Federal Government.
All State officials, however, do not
agree that this provision would pre-
vent them from entering into an
agreement under the Kilgore bill to
accept supplementary Federal aid
during reconversion.
Gov. Maurice j. Tobin of Massa-
chusetts, who went on record in
favor of the Kilgore bill last week,
wired the committee today that
Massachusetts law has the disquali-
flying clauses, but stated that he
stands ready to use his emergency
powers to suspend any State law
