WE'RE ALL NEUROTIC
(NeW York TimeS)

Demobilized workers may present greater problem in mental instability than diScharg ed war veterans, prominent psychiatrsts reported af ter years nationwide survey of the neuropsychia- trc problem for the National Association of Manufac turerS.
 Urging employers and the general public to "stop viewing him with alarm,' the physicians held that "nine times of ten the NIP OK to go to work for you, and jus to take the bite out of your criticism there's probably of that neuropsychiatric business going right in your living room, or no war.
 Saying that most of have some history of minor or major mental conditon, the psychatrsts emphasized that any procedure aimed at facilitating the better placement in industry of the neuropsycha rc dischargee from the armed forces should be applied with equal greater emphasis to the demobilized workers"
 "It is possble the said that the greater problems will come from the ranks of these workers"
 In large typical industrial organization they ported nearly 25 percent of all employees found be unstable Ito the extent of requiring much atten ton to get them to remain stable on the job'
 Persons discharged from mental hospitals and others with histories of emotional and conditions do not constitute risk in civilian society, the psychatrists asserted

COMPETITION IN ACTION
(NeW York TimeS)

The arineS have announced sharp reductions Tn pas senger rates Under the schedules the cost of rav cling by plane will be cheaper than the cost of travelling by railroad firS-claSS with sleeping accommodations. Thus from New York to Chicago the cost by plane will be $32 85 as compared with $3693 in lower berth and $35 28 in an upper berth by train Moreover to the train fare be added the cost of meals while meal is provided without charge the plane The combina- tion of lower prices plus large savings in time is bound to make plane travel attractive to many persons
 Here is perfect example Ot the competitive system in operation. Eager to obtain larger volume Ot buS ness the arneS have resOrted to the action which new industries have found to be most effective in the past namely lower prices No government fiat was required to force this reduction It perfect example of how the senteres of industry desirous o expanding It's market also serves the national good The business gained by the airlines will necessarily represent net loss to the railroads Undoubtedly, at these lower rates many persons will be induced to travel who have thus far been restrained by cost considerations The history of business repee with illustrations ot how this type of general reduction in prices has been fol- lowed by larger volume of business for all concerned the competitors well as the old.
 Another interesting aspect of this situation is that
 illustrates again that bigness the monopolistc posi- tion of an industry is no protection against vigorous competition. Here the railroads being challenged directly on their onghaul business challenge which will become of growing importance the willingness to travel by air increases Finally this action in lower ing prices will more jobs More planes will be re- quired to handle the traffic. pilots and to handle the planes, and additional help to handle the various services connected with air transport Such price reductions if adopted by many industries with products forms of service will provide one inn portant of absorbing the slack in the labor mar ket represents therefore, socially desirable action as well as sound economics.

HOLLYWOOD 
By BOB THOMAS AND WAS CARRADINES FACE GREEN!

you Ike to nave lullCH WIllIS IOoh ing at the green face of John Car radine?
 know nothing about the act ors propensity for envy or nau- sea, but neither element was the reason for his verdant hue. His face was made up in the ghastly green for his role as Dracula in The House of Dracula," one of Universa's excursions into the horror world. To show you how blase Hollywood is, hardly anyone in the studio dining room noticed his frightful visage when he en- tered the place The luncherS, who included Lou Costello, Maria Mon tez, Franchot Tone and Sabu, scarcely looked up from their soup.
 Once I had become used to Car ridine's chartreuse kisser, began discussion about ham, and not the kind on the menu.
 Do you object to being called ham," I inquired, somewhat ir- reverently.
 ''No, 1 do not" he announced, but added with a sly wink, mot by another actor. You see, the av- craze person thinks of a ham as overbearing, obnoxious, vain, con- ceited-rather, over-conceited; be- cause all actors have to be con- ceited to some degree-and bad actor.
 But to actors, and others con- nected with the theater, a ham is an actor with an unusual ability to create character. It is someone with dash, with imagination, with a grand way of doing things.
 "You hear the accusation that a ham in not normal. We'll, of course not. l know of some actors who are normal and they are not very good actors. Perhaps a ham does not create character as it would be in real life, but that is not his function. The actor should create an illusion. The audience should walk out of the theater and say, Good lord! Is this reality?.' when they see the actual world"
 l inquired if the actor could name some good hams. He could.
 Jack Barrymore was very good ham-so is Lionel. Freddie March is one of the best. And he Is good because he remembers the day when he wasn't good. Rather inc Cornell is ham; you can tell that every time she goes through a door. Hams often have devices unreal but fascinating. Ellen Terry used to strike a pose which she knew was good. Then she would hold it until you would al- most say, My God, why doesn't she mover That's good manning"
 Carradine named other hams the Lunts, Charles Laughton. Basil Rathbone, Nagel Bruce, Charles Boyer.
 But mind you, folks, he uses it as an endearing term.
