More than $500 was raised yester-
day for the support of two English
war orphans, by the third annual
Woodrow Wilson High School fair.
Mrs. Mary Spangler, teacher Of
home economics in charge of the
event, said Woodrow Wilson is the
f1rst high school in America to
sponsor such project.
The orphans which the fair bene-
fits are Joseph Smith, IL, whose
parents were killed by bombs in
England and who Is now In a school
on the Island of Malta, and Maureen
O'Hara, 4, whose parents left her in
an AFRAID shelter, and failed to
call for her. They are believed to
have been killed. She is now in an
orphans home outside London, ac-
cording to Mrs. Spangler.
Many of the 1900 Woodrow Will
son students who participated in
the fair also send presents to Joseph
and Maureen. The students started
to support the project when it was
broached to them three years ago
by a faculty committee.
Some 49 amusement attractions
occupying several gymnasiums were
offered to the students. who bought
strips of six tickets for 25 cents
which entitled them to a general

An Odd Test for Rhvthm

Jennifer Jones in David Selznick's S
Duel in the Sun" biggest Western
Hollywood has attempted in years.
II you're an autograph collector
and a bit ashamed of it, cheer up.
The very people whose signatures
you covet are now champs at the
autograph-collecting art.
Among the most distinguished
collections are those of President
Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and
Joe Stain. But it's the screen
celebrities, those who have made
world girdling USO tours, who sport
the biggest.
Example, Pat O'Brien and Adolphe
Menjou. On the set of RKO's The
Amorous Ghost" they had a chance
to compare notes and determine
who's the film industrys champion
autograph collector.
O'Brien won by quite a margin,
chiefly because he's been at it for
years. Menjou didn't start until
after Pearl Harbor. Both have
priceless collection of autographs on
huge rolls OF "short-Snorter" bills.
Names like Gems. Eisenhower and
Stilwell and various soldiers who
turned out to be heroes in this war.
In addition to these, O'Brien has
at home a long-collected array of
sports trophies autographed-such
as the baseball Babe Ruth knocked
into the stands to clinch a world
series and a football Notre Dame
kicked for the winning point at
Rose Bowl game.
He also has autographed artists
works, books, letters, modern musi-
clans compositions, musical scores,
bandleaders' autographs on records,
headwaiters' and chefs signatures
from famous eating places on menus
and bar and screen completely
covered with the autographs of
Hollywood celebrities.

HOLLYWOOD.
Feminine aspirants to film ca
reers are never surprised when
prospective employers ask them to
reveal the shapeliness of their limbs
or lack of same. It's common prac-
tice not only in Hollywood but on
Broadway.
Gregory Peck, however, claims to
be the first actor who was ever
asked to take off his trousers be-
fore he got whack at theatrical
career
If Mr. Peck, hottest leading man
IN movietoWn today, had been the
least bit diffident about obeying the
command, there is a possibility he
never would have become an actor
Let Mr.. Peck explain:
1T was back in 1899 when I ap-
piled to neighborhood playhouse
in New York for a test. Martha
Graham, then a famous dancer
was the test director in charge
Much to my amazement, the first
order I received from her was to
remove my trousers.
Il had been a barker at the
Worlds Fair, barking all summer
II hours day in half-hour shifts
l thought I had come to spiel, not
to expose.
We'll, I just took off my pants and
kicked, ran, hoped and jumped
for Miss Graham. She Just wanted
to know if I had rhythm. She
pulled my arms, had me lie down
and roll over, had me trot around
the room like a horse in a ring to
observe my knee action. Finally
she said that was all. 1t seemed /
had rhythm"
1t turned out that he could act
too. The scholarship was worth $500,
and 1T got him chance to work in a
play with Katharine Cornell in
the audience. Miss Cornell noticed
something about Peck - rhythm
probably-and put him in a Broad
way play.
From then on you know most of
the rest. At the moment he is the
most-sought-after leading man in
Hollywood. His portrayal Of Father
Chlsholm in THE Keys of the King
dom" put him away out in front,
but he has followed his priestly
role with pair of parts in which
he makes love to beautiful women.
Peck. the rhythm boy, is now in
the midst of playing outlaw. bad
man and wicked fellow opposite

lysts any one ever heard.
There have been many others,
just as good, but far less well known
for that particular trick.
The one who comes first to mind
is an amateur in the field but even
better than most of the masters.
That would be Moss Hart, the play
wright. In the privacy of his life
and that of a few friends, Mr.. Hart,
who knows the lyric of more songs
than any one else, is only too glad
to keep you in stitches for an hour
with his song analysis act.
His favorite is Dark Town Strut
ters' Ball" which will be recalled
as madly passionate cry on the
part of the hero to have the heroine
ready when he comes to take her to
the ball.
"Ill be down to getcha, honey.
I'll be there at half-past eight" he
eXults-and Mr. Hart gets a spirit
of wild exultation into his interpre-
tation of the words.
"And all the time, the guy is talk
ing about tomorrow night" he says
when he finishes. THE girls got "a
hours to get ready. What's the
rush?"
1t sounds a lot funnier when
Moss does i than when we set it
down on paper, but what we started
out to observe is that song titles
have suddenly become about the
most piquant reading the movie
magnates seem to be doing.
IN Be Seeing You," which was
tops on the Hit Parade several sea-
sons ago, already has been produced
as screen play theme. AS every one
must have heard, it worked out
very well what with David o. Selz-
nick sticking to the thought rather
than the text of the original.
That is just the beginning.
X X
Now on the fire, or rather in the
creative consciousness of a couple
of Hollywood writer's. is a screenplay
to be fashioned from another song
title, ut Had to Be You"
The song, veteran, earned new
life when it was sung so engagingly
by Irene Dunno in "A Guy Named
joe" one of the prize fantasies of
last season. That is should make a

Hollywood Strikers
Called 10 Series Of
kind Sessions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 17.-Seeking
to regroup strike-supporting organi-
cations in the face of mounting
opposition, leaders in the Aim studio
walkout today summoned workers to
a series Of meetings over the week
end.
The Screen Publicists' Guild, one
OF the first units to join the confer
ence OF studio unions in its strike
last Monday, recalled Its 200 men,
bers to meeting today.
Tonight the Screen ONCE En-
ployes' Guild, with 5000 members,
holds similar session. Both guilds
may be polled to decide whether to
renew or rescind their vote to re-
spect picket lines Of the AFL con-
ference unions.
Defiant of return-to-work orders
from the top command OF the
American Federation of Labor, Her
bert K. Sorrell, president Of the
CSU, summoned all workers in the
film industry to mass meeting at
Hollywood Legion Stadium tomor-
row night.
More than 1000 Screen Actors
Guild members packed the Holly
wood Women's Club last night and
heard opposing union leaders-Mr.
Sorrell and Richard A. Walsh,
president of the International AL
lance Of Theatrical Stage En-
ployes-repeat their claims.
The guild mail vote deadline on
whether to support the strike was
extended to next Thursday. Present
last night were Edward Arnold, John
Garfield, Ralph Morgan and other
prominent players.
Yesterday William Green, AFL
president, publicly "disavowed" the
strike, but Mr.. Sorrell declared it
would continue.
Producers stepped in with a court
action seeking, in effect, to force
the Office employees back to work for
allegedly violating their no-strike
pledge, and warned publicity men to
return Monday or face possible
action by the War Labor Board.

picture occurred to some one just as
alert as Mr.. SelZnick and it will be
coming along some day in fashion
designed to give 1t third lease on
life
Another title in the offering is
you Were There" but instead of
being based upon Noel Coward's
excellent, but never truly popular,
tune title, it seems to have been
picked up from popular magazine
story.
Hollywood's interest in popular
tunes as film themes could be traced,
perhaps, back to the film, Casa
blanca" A considerable portion of
that prize screenplay's popularity
was to be found in its use of a wan
elderly tune, "As Time Goes By"
The ballad had been languishing
around for years before 1t was Sc
lected as the theme tune for Casa
blanca" and its re-emergence had a
great deal to do with teaching the
cinema what hold thinks like that
can get upon the public if used prop
erly.
Where it all will end. we do not
know. Short, no doubt, of a one
character film story with the title,

Manila, Nov. Survivors told military tribunal today that Japanese soldiers burned alive a former Filipino supreme court jus tice and IA of his friends and re- peatedly raped 40 of Manila's most beautiful and socially prominent women.
 The tribunal must decided whether Gen. T0mOyuki Yamashi- ta, Japanese commander in the Philippines in 1944 and 1945, shall die for the mass rape, torture and murders committed by his forces during an eight-day reign of ter TOT before the American libera- tiOn of Manila last February.
 Women and girls ravished as many as IS times during that week of horror confronted Yamashita in the courtroom and told in all it's revolt ing detail the story of their en- forced shame. Press and public were barred from the session, but a digest of the women's testimony was made available later.

Some 4,000 eastern Greyhound bus employees struck today as the nations top labor leaders announced they would use the new Govern ment wage-price policy to break a log jam of disputes holding up re- conversion.
 Drivers, baggage handlers, and maintenance employees of six Grey hound lines struck at midnight, paralyzing the affiliated companies transportation system throughout the eastern U. s.
 The waikout, called to enforce de- inands for wage increases. halted operations of some 1000 buses. .
 Leaders of Dig AFL and GIG unions, meanwhile, generally ex- pressed approval of President Tru- mans wage-price statement and in- dicated they would put 1t to use toward settling work stoppage' over wages.
 First evidence of acceptance oi the program was seen in the 39-day northwest lumber strike, when op- orators suddenly announced they were ready and willing to negoti- ate" AFL demands.
 It was the first peace move by the operators, who previously had resisted union efforts to negotiate or an industrywide basis for $l.lt minimum hourly wage. The dispute has kept approximately SO 1000 lum- Der and sawmill workers away from their jobs.
