head has as much need for press
agent as the Nation has for another
coal strike. If the gentleman who
heralds her imminence Is alert and
industrious enough to get a small
two-column announcement In the
advertising columns three weeks
prior to her arrival in any cultural
center, he is sure to arrive in the
said dorp to find the theater already
sold out. Then he is free to resume
his pursuit of crossword puzzles, the
Einstein theory, American League
earned-run averages or any OF the
other problems which convention
allv tantalize the sages in my yo-
cational cult. Miss Bankhead has
never sunk to the level OF engaging
a personal publicist, as do many OF
her sisters. The reason for this Is
plain as pike staff. AS vivid con-
versationalist as she is an actress,
her improvised remarks on life, love
and the cosmos inevitably find their
way into print, without any aid from

ricular antics that would exhaust
both her clock and her calendar.
II is my chore to defeat these op-
portunists.
When a press agent is fortunate
enough to exploit a play that excites
the attendance of vertical customers
at all performances he is looked
upon as minor magician by those
unversed in the ruses and risks OF
my profession. There's always a
great press agent ahead of Miss B.
by these standards. Evidence In
proof herewith submit. When Miss
Bankhead visited Boston two years
ago in Philip Barry's Foolish No
ton" the American Athens was wal
lowing in one of the worst blizzards
in all recorded time. The schools
were closed, traffic suspended, thou
sands marooned. Ordinarily this
would have crippled the box office.
But Miss BIS following is of hardy
pioneer stock. BY sledge, reindeer
team and skis they ploughed their
way to the theater, and a record
breaking week ensued. Business for a
Bankhead play can be tempered by
neither fire, flood nor press agent.

WASHINGTON (FP)-The Sen ate War Investigating Committee is not yet through with Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D., Miss), his alleged deals with war contractors, and his private dream house" complete with arti- hcial lake.
 The committee, interrupted by the election campaign, will check into Bilbo's relations with war con- tractors soon after the election, it was learned here. The Klansman may have to talk fast to explain as- sertions that he used his Senate office to get contracts for his friends, who in turn remodeled Bilbo's Poplarville, Miss. estate as a Christmas present in l94l.
 The Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee is still probing charges that Bilbo violated federal election laws in last springs primary when he led a move to keep Negroes from exercising their right to vote.
 Bilbo faces threat to his Senate seat from another direction as well, since several organizations are circu- lating petitions for signature addressed to the U. s. Senate, asking that Bilbo be barred because of his admitted membership in the Ku K1ux Klan and unftness for office in a democracy.

Number Building Apprentices Hits
 All Time High
Totalled 78,148 At End Of September Sheet Metal
 Workers Lead

Chicago, HI. - The number of apprentices in the building trades, with 78,l48 reported employed at the end of September, is at an all- time high, according to William F.. Patterson, Director of the Appren- tice-Training Service, U. s. Depart ment of Labor. The number of such apprentices was 5,334 more than the total reported at the end of August.
 In an address at the annual national conference of the Sheet Metal Work CTS International Association here, MT. Patterson also reported that the number of sheet metal worker ap- prentices-4,88O also established a record.
 "The last official figure, that for 1940 and based on the U. s. census" :" MT. Patterson said, showed there were 5000 sheet metal workers ap- prentices. Apprentice training was curtailed during the war years be-

cause the armed forces took practi- cally all potential apprentices, and the number of apprentices in the sheet metal working trade and other trades no doubt dropped below the 1o4O figure during those years.
 ''The numbers of apprentices re- ported employed in building trades other than sheet metal working at the end of September" he con- tinued, ''also are aII-time highs. The figures are: wood working 3O.. 718; electrical, 12,0l4; pipe trades, lO,975; trOwel trades, 9,2I5; painting and decorating, 6,523; and other building trades, 3,823.
 However, not enough apprentices are being trained to build up the skilled work force required for pro- jected construction. To help remedy this situation, more local joint man augmentation apprenticeship commit tees, which establish and administer apprenticeship programs in the build ing trades, should be formed"

could get along without hin1-but they never do. That's correct. And that would go for the Blanchards of foot ball, the Tildens of tennis, and SO on? Yes, that's correct too.
 But what about the businessmen who invest in sport, provide the equipment? The guys who sold the slogan, ssNo man is bigger than the sport!' We'll, obviously they repre- sent capital. They put up the money. What they really mean is that no player or collection of play CTS can be not bigger or more im- portant than these capitalists are. They-not the players-symbolize sport.
 Could this be correct? Let's hear from Abraham Lincoln. He said {: Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

Greyhound Workers Win 25% Increases

OMAHA, Neb. (FP)-Overland Greyhound bus employees in 13 mid west states won wage increases rang ing between 25c and 31Hc an hour under terms of proposed new con tract here.
 The proposals, accepted by nego- tiating committee of the Amalagamat- ed Assn. of Street Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees (AFL), will be submitted to the membership for ratification. The votes will be tab ulated Nov 10.
 Over-the-road drivers under the new scale will receive 5.85c mile and other concessions which make their raise total approximately 31@o. Union Bus. Agent F. C. Powers said the boost was one of the largest ever won by -the-road employees.
 The new rates will also give ticket agents and baggage men $1.5O and $1.20 hourly respectively, shop em- p1oyes $1.5o5z, shop helpers $1.2O, bus cleaners $1.0o, general office workers $1.35. The raises averaged approxi- mate1y 25@o including a general 15% increase won in October.

An unquestionable shame is that we have a disgustingly short mem- ory for our real heroes. 1 mean for the guys who went through flying hardware, and lot more, to clamp a strangle grip on the fascist wind pipe. They had winning form then, and SO once more we are a free world. Free to play baseball, foot ball, and all that sort of thing.
 Then, shortly, these men were caught up in the sports war. Its theaters of operations are the box office, neatly manicured gridirons, diamonds, batting and fielding per centages, and the cheers and jeers of fans.
 Started From Scars
 It would be untrue to say they started from scratch. They started from scars, injuries and soul fatigue acquired in the hell of shot and shell. And all because a lot of people guard ing the sports payrolls, and some who don't, could forget all that. To these pinheads, you might say, it appears that baseball or football record is more important than service bar or purple heart.
 There is an American myth that no player is bigger than the sport of which he's part. MOneyminded folk and sentimentalists have meas ured sport with mysterious yard stick and it comes out sacred. Re- member when Babe Ruth used to kick over the traces? The yamp went up: ''No man is bigger than baseball!" And when Bill Tilden used to give the naughty tennis solons fiery flashes of his mind? Same alarm: ''Tilden isn't bigger than tennis!'' Sounded like the screaming of little children.
 Our sports are anything but sacred. They are big business. For example, the University of Michigan footballers will have played before 650,000 spec tators at seasons end. Major league baseball has just harvested its bumper attendance crop of all time. Let us see who really is MT. Big in this business.
 The Golden Gates
 Who drew these golden gates? The players. Collectively, you might say, they represent labor. What is sport anyhow? The players, what they do and how they do it. Is one player bigger, that is, more important than another? Sure. Then a guy like Babe Ruth or Ted Williams could be big ger than baseball? Yes, because base balls gate receipts need him. They

 In California's House delegation, Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas and Rep. F. R. Havenner, both Democrats, survived the storm which knocked off Reps. Jerry Voorhis, George Outland, Ned Healy, and Ed V. Izac-all of whom could be counted upon to resist repressive labor bills and to fight hard for liberal legislation.
 New York State
 From New York state, the Republi- can sweep cost the labor-iberal forces dearly. The liberal Republican, who was repudiated by his party and ran as an American Labor Party choice, Joseph C. Baldwin, was traded for the extremely conservative, anti-labor COP choice, F. R. Goudert. Although Rep. Vito Marcantonio (ALP) and Sol Bloom (D) scraped through to victory, along with Adam C. Powell (D) and Emmanuel Celler (D.), the Republicans increased their represen- tation from 2 to. 27.
 One of the surprises in Illinois was the victory of Rep. Melvin Price (D.) in the East St. Louis area. He is a staunch friend of labor and had powerful Republican opposition.
 Cleveland (O.) workers came through to save the seats of Reps. Michael A. Fieghan (D.) and Rob- ert Crosser (D.) but the silk stock ing suburban area overwhelmed labor's voice to return wealthy Rep. Frances P. Bolton (R.) to her seat.
