and will go on being sung for
years.
Instant hits frequently do not
last" she says. Everybody sings
them briefly but when they stop
doing so, the song is dead. They
never come back in such a case
But there's another type of song
that builds more slowly and lives
as long as people have sentiment
and sentimental memories"
OF the current crop, Miss Connee
suggests ut Might as Well be
Spring"
1t may disappear for a while, she
thinks, but it won't be forgotten
while this generation is around to
remember its emotions in tranquil
ty. Or even remembers them with
out tranquility.
Miss Connee is a girl whose judg-
ment there is one to bet on.
Miss Connee, you may not know
is quite bettor herself. Her IA
vorite diversion is betting on race
horses, which is a good lady-like
thing when done by good ladies.
1t is an avocation which makes
her familiar with a whole bookfu
of jokes about betting on race
horses. This one you may not have
heard, unless you are another one
OF those Bennett Cert people who
has learned the tag lines to all the
jokes since Plato and the kids played
in the garden in Greece:
1t seems Miss Connee relates)
there once was mild little man
who created a tremendous, furore
with his uncanny knack of picking
long shots. All he had to do was
bet on them, four or five a day
even, and they would always win
His bookmaker (Mr. Cert is another
kind Of bookmaker) was suddenly
on the verge of bankruptcy, wher
practical way out suggested itself
to his agile mind.
Look" he said to his least favor.
ite customer one day, lets play
this thing smart together. I'll come
over on your side, you tell me your
system, and I'll play with you.'
The little man said he was sorry
but he had no system.
Il just take a pin," he said, "anc
jab horses name on the form
sheet, and the horse always wins.
He implied that any one could dc
the same, but the bookmaker was
entirely Skeptical.
If it is as easy as that" he
snarled, "how do you get those four
horse parleys?"
"Oh, on those I use fork" the
little man said.
Miss Connee got big laugh with
the story, but maybe she told ii
better.
Or you might think it is funnier
that Hollywood refuses even to think
of Leo G. Carroll in the picture
version of 'The Late George Apley'
on the ground that he lacks name
power.
All he did was .play Apley for
two triumphant years, winning
whatever prizes were awarded in
those seasons for good acting.
All he can do is act rings around
nine out of any 10 cinema actors
who are deemed to have name
power.

There are ways and ways of get

method used recently by Rae Welch,
the one known as the direct ap-

lease of "Pygmalion" for the local
production by the Jarvis Repertory
Theater. The copyright holders said
they were very sorry, but the George
Bernard Shaw play just could not
be performed anywhere, by anybody
while it was being played in New
York by Gertrude Lawrence in the
Theater, Inc. production. There was
clause, they said. This would have

for Constance. 1t might look fancy
if some one else made a switch like
that. 1t seems the most natural
thing in the world when Connee
says it was because she got tired
of always trying to dot the Il" cor
rectly. The dot always landed over
the "e," which made it look like
Connei. Or maybe the dot drifted
off the end of the name entirely,
which made it Connee with ques-
tionable period between that and
Boswell. She just got tired of it
and took the natural course for an
eaSy-going New Orleans girl which
was to toss the dot out of her
name and her life.
Miss Boswell, a proper question
will develop, is a pretty intelligent
judge of the popular music which
she has been singing so success

Long Strike At
AHiS-ChuImers
In Boston Ends

Boston (FP) - The 7h-month
strike of 375 employees against the
Allis- Chalmers Manufacturing Co.
plant in Hyde Park ended here
with the signing of a contract be-
tween Local 239, United Electrical
Radio & Machine Workers, and the
company.
The strike, longest in Massa-
chusetts postwar history, began
April 30 and was aimed at one of
the nations most antilabor indus
trial firms, whose West Allis, Wis.
plant is still closed by an even
longer strike. The Wisconsin plant
is the last holdout of seven Allis-
Chalmers branches that were
closed early this year by workers
demanding higher wages and union
security.
The Boston agreement provides
for 13h cents hourly pay in
crease on top of a cent raise won
last January and for reclassifica-
tion of some 25 per cent of the
production workers, bringing them
additional pay raises of from Z to
2l cents an hour. The contract will
remain in effect until April Is,
1913, with wage reopenlng on 10
days notice on or after April Is,
l947.
Although union officials consid-
cred the settlement terms made
quate, they included a number Of
important gains previously denied.
The contract provides for senior
ity clause, grievance procedure,
guarantees against discriminatory
transfers from job to job or from
day to night shifts, arbitration of
disputes and treatment Of any dis
ciplinary action "for cause" as a
grievance dispute.
1t also grant a voluntary check
off but no union shop, standard
overtime clause including payment
of time-and-a-half for Saturdays
and double-time for Sundays, and
full pay for all 1916 vacations

they were on strike.

That India, like the United
States, has been troubled by un-
authorized and i'll : considered
strikes, is indicated by a recent
speech of Sardar Patel, acting
vice-president of the Interim Gov
ernment of India.
The Indian leader, addressing a
meeting in Bombay of the Hindus-
tan Mazdoor Sewak Sangh, of
which he is president, appealed to
India's workers to realize their re-
sponsibility in the mighty task of
shaping India's future and to pre-
pare themselves in an organized
manner to govern the country as
the Labor party is doing in Great
Britain.
The workers should realize, he
said, that India was on the thres-
hold of freedom and that they
should help their own government
to solve the many grim problems
facing them. He wanted them to
help in the task of stabilizing in
dustrial production for the benefit
Of the community as a whole, and
to be properly. organized and well
disciplined. The strike was a weap-
on not to be used cheaply and fre-
quently. "You must not go on
strike unless your own union gives
you the call" he declared.
Criticizing the Communists, Sar-
dar Patel said: "The Communist
party, which always takes its in
spiration from Russia, is advoca-
ting a path of violence and strikes
and disruption of industries to
achieve their ends"

Raise To Meet
Living Costs

New York (FP) = A general
wage increase of 23H cents an
hour will be demanded by the
United Automobile Workers for
one million workers in the automo-
bile industry.
The demand, unanimously ap-
proved by the JAW executive
board here Dec. IL, is in addition
to proposals for a 3 per cent medi-
cal fund, a retirement fund and an
equalization fund which are ex-
pected to bring the total increase
to an unofficial estimate of about
80 cents an hour.
Wage negotiations for 1947 con-
tracts are already underway with
Chrysler, Packard, Hudson and
Kaiser Fraser. The General
Motors and Ford contracts are not
open until next spring.
UAW President Walter p. Reu-
ther said the 23h cents increase
"is necessary to restore to the
workers in our industry what has
been taken from them by the rise
in the cost Of living since the be-
ginning of the year"
The 1872 cents increase won
by the auto workers last winter
has been wiped out by the sur
render of Congress and govern
ment to industry pressure for
price increases, Reuther asserted.
