HOLLYWOOD, May IA = Every few days receive publicity from the Motion Picture Association of America (T11e producers. In it, the movie industry in general is lauded for it's great contributions to the welfare of society, and the studio heads, in particular, are praised for the unselfish parts they are play ing in the solutions of today's crit ical problems. I find it hard, son1e- times, to take those dispatches at their face value.
 For example: The other day the proxy of one of the major studios was granted (why, I don't know) a permit to build himself a private projection room in Beverly Hills. The proposed cost is $24,0 GOO and the building will consume materials vitally needed for housing. The only possible excuse for that projection room is personal convenience. It will save the producer trips to his studio, where he already has at his disposal at least five projection rooms.
 A few weeks. previously, this same tycoon decided that the fourteen executives of his studio, most of whom are driven to and from work by chauffeurs, needed a private parking lot. He proposed the con- demnation of residential properties housing nine families in order to get the Ian dhe needed. His project was defeated only when represen- tatives of the families threatened by viction, appeared before munich pal authorities and fought the plan.
 If were the head of the MP.A.A., would try to bring home to that member few of the simple facts of modern life before distributing publicity releases such as those mentioned above.
 MGM. the studio that made Car bo famous by building a high fence around her, is using similar tactics in connection with its picture, ''The Beginning Or The End" which is supposed to tell the story of the atomic bomb. Not only are casual visitors and members of the press barred from the set, but the cast and crew must show special passes before being admitted. The result may be effective publicity, but it Is also a reflection on the intelligence of the public, which is being asked. by innuendo, to believe that vital atomic secrets are actually being paraded on studio stage, and that Uncle sam, who's been shrewd

at girls, and at Paulette, in par ticular.
 As for Lederer, known to fans as the matinee idol type, he goes heavy for the first time. He plays sour tempered meanie who also falls in love with Paulette and rampages around violently when she shows her preference for someone else. Hatfield makes love to Paulette with pretty devastating effect-and gets the gal!
 The second attraction is the &C., tion-packed mystery thriller, Crime of the Century, starring Michael Browne and Stephanie Batchelor.

8y BOB HOPE - TROLLEY STRIKE

Well, as you have all probably read, we've been having Q street car strike in Los Angeles. I wouldn't say the transportation strike &s really serious but yesterday the post office caught some guy mailing himself to work-I still can't see why they stamped me 3rd class.
 But everyone is getting rides why, even some of the fellows are being picked up.
 Anr just to show what funny tricks fate plays, the street car strike was called one day and the next morning I found a transfer. Of course walking to work has its advantages-you can go by the Jane Russell ads more slowly.
 I really miss not riding to work on the cars. It's terrible already I'm three days behind on the comic strips.
 I slipped into a skirt, figuring I'd get a ride more easily, and that man who picked me up-I didn't mind his making me sit close but when he hugged me and said, "Of course you won't be a star right away" that was too much.

enough to keep the most important military information in the world from enemy agents, is r1inny enough to intrust it to MGM movie work CTS. Hooey!
 During the past week, asked two of Hollywood's kid stars what they want to be when they grow up. Derek Scott (the moppet in "Iife With Father'') announced that ne is going to be 6 railway engineer; Margaret OsBrien solulnnly as- sured me that acting is bore and she's determined to be a wild ani- maj trainer. All of which goes to prove that the university trait of seeing green pastures far afield is developed at an early age. If I re- member correctly, my first ambition was to be an Italian organ grinder and wear rings in my ears. What was yours?
 Quite a few theater men are re- volting against the practice of in- terrupting movie programs while usherS pass the hat for the char ity-of the week." think most the ater patrons will gladly second this protest, not because they object to making donations, but because they don't appreciate the high pressure methods employed. The practice is rapidly getting out of hand, for ex- hibitors, having agreed to act as collection agencies for one good cause can't very well refuse to do likewise for others without being accused of discrimination. But peo- pie who pay their money to see a show are entitled to see it without unnecessary interruptions. Collec- tion boxes in theater Hobbies, set up to receive voluntary contributions, would be in better taste.
 The Hollywood underground has been buzzing with stories about in- ternal dissentions in Hedy LamarrS new independent production com- pany, and most of the buzzing, re- duced to its essentials, has to do with the Lamar temperament. If the stories are true, maybe some- one should take the fair FIedy aside and explain that the status of a major studio star is quite different from that of star-producer. The tantrums of the one are cushioned by huge organization; the foibles of the other, lacking cushion, can destroy an organization.
 Some of the expressions used by publicity men leave me gasping. For example there's the paragraph that arrived in this mornings mail about ''The Postman Always Rings Twice. |" It read: Tn order to play her role, Lana Turner, had to spend two full weeks at Palm Springs acquiring 8 tan" Amt that hell?
