PLANNING POLLOCK
DIES IN 66TH YEAR
Famed Author, Publicist
Stricken By Cerebral
Hemorrhage

NEW YORK, Aug. II B -
channjng Pollock, author. and
1~..ma+jst, died of a cerebral hem
'.aao at MS summer home in
cso7ebam. Long Island, today at
the age Of 60.
polIock was stricken in Shore
.u5 Yesterday and remained un-
ponsc;ous until his death. His
so1ohter. Helen, lived with him
A. Shoreham.
H also maintained a home in
New York City.
Barn in Washington, D. c., Pol
Ink started his career as a
s~arnatic critic for the Washington
pos+ in 1898. He turned to writ
;,s plays at an early age, and
r9s the author of more than
thirty. most of them successful.
H; works included THE Fool"
,o22. The Enemy, 1925; "The
uo',se Beautiful" 1881. He also
nTote the script for the Ziegfield
ToIIies Of 1915 and 1922, produced
,iv hooks of short stories and es-
says, and two novels.
He was a world traveller and
rotpd as a lecturer, to which he
sorotod much of his time. He con-
d1cted a weekly page for the Sum
dsv New York Journal-American,
and made many radio broadcasts.
Pollock had been successful in
almost every phase of the theat-
rical and writing careers. AS a
nress agent for Florenz Ziegfeld,
be glorified the "Ziegfeld Grip
nj the 1920s and at other times in
his cereer whote plays of a high
" moralized tone.
He had served as a drama critic
for the Washington Post and Times
and as general manager for Pro-
Queer william A. Brady before
he decided to become a playwright
exclusively,
He also wrote lyrics for many
songs.
Pollock's wife, the former Anna
Marble. press agent and author,
died last March 81. In addition
to his daughter, he is survived by
a sister, who lives in Washington.
His various shows were almost
who's who of stepping stones for
many performers who went on to
stardom. Douglas Fairbanks first
speaking part was in Pollock's
play The PITT in 1901. Ed Wynn
quit vaudeville TO play in Pollock's
first edition of the Ziegfeld Fol
lies"
Pollock wanted to return to the
newspaper business all Of his life
bue he could never find time
away from the theater. Perhaps
8 a reminder OF MS newspaper
days, he always insisted that his
favQrite dinner was a sheat Of copy
paper in front of him and a sand
wich and red apple to eat.
Pollocks play THE Enemy" was
made into a motion picture star
rim Lillian Gish two years later
and was a violent preachment
aainst the cruelties and frustra-
ton of war.
In the more notable Of his many
other plays, such as THE pit"
The Fool" Mr.. Moneypenny,"
and The House Beautiful" Pol
lock sermonized against creed,
o~ver-zealous ambition, dishonesty
and various other human failings.

I entitled to know the reason or basis for the rejection
 You're not entitled to know why the retiring board or why the re- view board gave you the boot.
 You are allowed to know as many facts about the proceedings of the review board as you would know if you had been there in person. But you can't get the dope on why they turned you down. The Board de- bates and mods behind hush-hush doors.
 don't blame you if you think it's all fouled up, because even the U. s. Supreme Court gives de- fendant or plaintiff the reason for an unfavorable decision.

I'll just take big breath and plunge into the mail.
 The first letter is from T. E. M, just across the Potamic in Airing ton, Va. He writes. You have ex- plained that a service connected disability may be pensionable at so much a month according to the percentage of disability. I was dis c..arged from the Navy without any notation on my discharge that l lave a disability.
 What I want to know is - who decide whether an ex-serviceman ..as a service connected disability"
 The Veterans Administration has the final say It can reverse any decision of the Army or Navy medical sections.
 If you believe you have a dis ability due to service and incurred in service, and you think you can prove it to the satisfaction ot the VA disability rating board, ask the VA for Form 526.
 Fill it out completely, and re- turn it to the Veterans Admin istration. There, it will be "Adjudi- cated,' and they'll let you know the answer later.
 Question from A. c. S., Tulsa: Having read your column regularly in the World, have a question to ask. Can a discharged soldier apply for training g-on-the-job' or does that part of the CT Bill apply only to the disabled veteranP"
 The training or education offer ed by the CT Bill is for all eligi-le veterans, disabled or not. Training on-the-job is just one kind of train ing-it's very much like apprentice training, and you get it under the CT Bill education provisions.
 Query from w. K. L., Seattle: What is the present income tax set-up for veterans, as far as their service pay is concerned?
 Here's. the latest pitch on the income-tax deal. The new tax bill which made headlines few weeks ago says in effect that all service pay earned by enlisted men will be forgiven for income tax pur- poses. In fact, if you were an en- listed man you don't even have to file return-providing you didn't have any outside income.
 For officers, it's different. They do have te pay an ineome tax on earned service pay, but the new law gives them up to three years after their discharge to make good on 1t. No interest can be charged during these three years on any unpaid portion of their income tax. Of course, while in the service offi- cers get the $500 exemption, just like the enlisted men.
 I seem to remember that one of the large service organizations said the new tax measure didn't give veterans a thing, because enlisted men wouldn't have to pay an in- come tax anyway, except perhaps a few master or top ssrgeants, since the $500 exemption tock care of just about the whole works.
 And giving officers three addition al wears to pet sr''sr~- w'A'' Tnf Sam is just delaying the day of L.y. put J.4ats the way it is.
 Here's question quite few dis abled officers are asking. It come from M. B. J., San Francisco: T appealed, under Section BOP of the CT Bill against the decision of an Army retiring board, but the re- view board rejected my claim. Am

ings melted away and Glenn, to
make the inner man comfortable,
took q Job as groom in . stable at
Santa Monica. 1t Is still his proud
boast that he once brushed and fed
Will Rogers favorite polo pony.
Ellen Drew haunted studios for
q year and then took a job as wait
ress and soda jerker in a candy store
on Hollywood boulevard. It was
there that Bill Demarest, the
comedian, then an agent, spotted
her pretty face and figure, signed
her up and the rest is movie history.
Ellen is playing starring roles for
Columbia these days.
The list Of in-between strugglers
goes on and on, endlessly, 1t would
seem. Dan Andrews drove jalopy
out here from Texas to get an inter-
view with a casting director. The
c. d. put him on the waiting list and
Dana was forced to sell his car to
eat. Later he interested q couple
Of filling station owners in his case.
They watched him do an impromptu
act and decided to gamble on his
ability to crash the film business.
They put him under joint agency
contract, meanwhile giving him .
job at $35 week in gas station.
After his rise to fame and big
money, Dana paid OF his two bene-
factors and is now a free agent.
Bartending, cashiering, church
and funeral singing and many other
side -line occupations tided the boys
and girls over. George Montgomery
between small roles, mixed and
dished out the drinks in Holly
wood bar; Catherine Mcleod, Re-
public's new discovery, dropped by
one studio, became ticket-seller for
small movie house and it was
there an MGM scout encountered
her; Eddie Albert walked wire for
a small circus between two Holly
wood jobs and Dennis Morgan, after
leaving MGM in 1892 rented out
his. vocal powers for banquets,
church choirs and funeral solos.
So, when you see these folks
playing roles on the screen re-
quiring courage and determination,
remember, they're not putting on
an act. They didn't take the first
train home. Nor did they appeal
to charity. They've got what 1t
takes.
