 Spokesmen for the operators got hysterica1 over the courts action. John D. Battle, executive secretary of the National Coal Association, screamed that the decision would "pave the way for an experiment in National Socialism"

Vets Employment 40 P. (. of Total

Washington, D. C.-The propor- ton of veterans employed in manu- featuring industries, which increased 60 percent between December 1o45 and March 1946, had attained IS per cent of all manufacturing employment in the latter month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. s. Depart ment of Labor announces. According to the report, veterans continue to ac- count for almost 2 of every persons hired in manufacturing.
 More than one-half of the hirings in the iron and steel, machinery, and chemical groups and nearly three fourths in the petroleum group were veterans. In the apparel and tobacco groups, the only two where women workers predbminate, the ratio of veteran hires were 1 out of 10.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF
HERE'S one in the Boston (Mass. Sunday NesOs:
 Roger Putnam Has
 Noted War Record Father, 6 Children

THE largest fine ever imposed for violation of the Child Labor provisions of the Fair Labor Stand ards Act - $25,OOO = has been levied against Spiegel, Inc, Chica- go mail order firm. The U. S. Dis trict Court found that the firm had unlawfully employed over 100 children under l6 years of age. Twenty were under IA at the time they were first employed, two being only l2. Two 14-year-olds and one 15-year-old had been em- ployed in manufacturing opera tions and 78 children of IA and Is had been employed more than the maximum daily hours permitted children, of their ages.
 Not many radio, listeners were fooled when News announcers broadcast that the President had received telegrams in the ratio of SOL in support of his veto. Those telegrams supported the veto not because the senders favored the in- ffationary blow-off, but rather, be- cause they opposed a puny measure and demanded a really protective bill.
 TWO Senators have come up with a plan for ''unpacking" the supreme court which in effect would mean retiring four of Roose- velt's seven appointees.
 Next thing they'll be demanding that workers pay back the money they got under such New Deal measures as unemployment insur- ance and social security.
 ONE fourth of the veterans talk ing advantage of the government educational and training laws are participating in on-the-job training programs, the Veterans Admins tration announces.
 At the end of April, 10000 were taking job training, about l/6 of whom were disabled men. A half million were in college or school. Only one veteran out of every 100 has already used his loan privilege to get loan for a home, farm or business, the VA said.

serene and lovely Alison Keith. who
brings with her the element of
romance
Robbie's green years are far richer
in incident than those of most cine
ma heroes. The most exciting of the
incidents is his quest for a scholar
ship, a brutally gruelling grind, so
well constructed dramatically that
few authors would dare let him lose
out. He does lose, however, to give
the screenplay its highest moment
of poignance, but one adequately
compensated in the closing sequence.
The battering which Robbie, and
the audience, take in The Green
Years" is recompensed by many pas
sages of excellent comedy. Most of
these are embraced in Coburns i'm
personation of the great-grandfa-
ther. Dandy Cow, beyond argu-
ment, is one of the years fine COM
edy characters. There are few mo-
ments when he is not good for
laugh, whether it is teaching Robbie
the rules of life or craftily escaping
the family's efforts to keep him from
getting drunk, or to grab off his
insurance money. At the end, great
grandfather has not made Robbie
into his image and likeness. He
has, however, made him a man. In
the process, he easily steals the pic
ture.
The acting of The Green Years"
is generally excellent. Both Dean
Stockwell and Tom Drake do hand
somely by the hero; Beverly Tyler is
both beautiful and effective rep
resentation of the loyal, loving Al
hson; Hume Cronyn gives one of
his best performances as the Scots
man terrified by the specter of pov-
erty, and Richard Haydn is no less
than superb as the understanding
resourceful schoolmaster.
In Victor Saville, Cronin and every
one else associated with THE Green
Years" found the director perfectly
equipped to blend the comedy. the
pathos and the excitement of the
Palaces picture into something uni
versally appealing.

Adheres rather strictly to the au-

The formula, to its credit, is sufh-

question of religion enter. 1t is
handled, moreover, in such way
that it can give no offense, nothing

The sure-fire dramatic relation

Between them is the perfect love

Young Robbie and his great
