LAUGH : FILLED
 COMEDY iS NOW
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

Eas,' to lau~h at, easy to enjoy, IS Paramount's "Easy Gene, Easy Go, a riotous COT iedy-romance which IS now shovinp at the goth Century Theatre wit, Barry Fitzgerald, Di- ana Lyn and Sonny Tufts sharing top billing.
 For Barry Fitzgerald, scene-steal- CT par excellence it is a field day for laughs in this his most exten- sive role to date. He is even fun nier and more lovable than he was in Going My Way" and that's going long way.
 And he does it as a character that only the sk!llful and puckish Fitzgerald could make engaging-a scheming, shiftless scoundrel with a weakness for horses and wari- ness for work. He lies, he's lazy and he breaks his daughters heart, but is charming and lovable with it all.
 Diana Lynn. who grows lovelier in each succeeding film, is Barry's troubled daughter and manager of their boarding house. It is her im- pending marriage to Sonny Tufts that Barry, in order to maintain his shiftless life, tries so diligent- ly and howlingly to prevent. Tufts plays a returned Seabee, a human hero with human shortcomings, and he plays him to perfection. He makes an excellent foil for the con- niving Fitzgerald, losing his entire bankroll on Barry's slow-traveling nags and causing Diana to walF out on 10th of them. It is only all ter many hilarious moments tha' all are reconciled.

FederaI ConciIiators
Make Final Effort 10
Avert Railroad Strike
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April 29.-Federal
mediators met with labor repre-
sentatives today in a final at
tempt to avert a Nation wide
railroad strike called for May
II by two operating brother
hoods.
Chairman Frank Douglas of the
National Railway Mediation Board
and Francis A. O'Neill, jr., q board
member. arrived this morning. A
meeting with labor spokesmen was
arranged first, to be followed by a
session with representatives of the
carriers.
president Truman told his
news conference today that he
believes the Mediation Board will
settle the threatened strike. He
said the board is working heroi-
cally on the dispute)
The offlcial strike notice was an
nounced yesterday by the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen and the Switchmsn's S
Union of America. The walkout,
which would cripple the Nation s
225 ,000-mile railroad system, was set
for 6 am. May II.
Engineers Undecided.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, the third operating union
seeking a 30 per cent wage increase,
with a minimum hike of So a day
and changes in working rules, did
not join in the strike notice. A
spokesman said his union has mot
made up its mind If and when a
strike date will be set" He added
it was his unions understanding
that each brotherhood could act
independently.
Wage negotiations between the
carriers and the three brotherhoods,
representing about 10000 men,
bers, collapsed Tuesday night. The
unions had announced a strike call
would be issued yesterday.
Although the two unions which
have called a strike represent only
small number of the country's
estimated 1,350,000 railroad work
ers-including 350,00O operating
employes-they are regarded as
the key operating men. The en-
gineers and another operating union
struck for two days In May, 1946,
and service was disrupted through
out the country.
CaIIeI SeriOus Threo%
Before Mr.. Douglass left Wash
ington for the Chicago meeting he
said failure of the unions and car
riers to reach an agreement rep
resents a serious threat to the
economy of the Nation in that a
stoppage of all rail transportation
in the country may follow"
Mr.. Douglass said he saw mo
reason why the Railway Labor Act
cannot be made effective to adjust
this present dispute" The board
first entered the controversy last
December, but withdrew when medi-
alton efforts failed.
The unions presented their de-
mands for pay hikes and changes in
working rules last october 7 and
since then all procedure under the
Railway Labor Act was followed
The brotherhoods are not bound by
the Taft-Hartley Labor Act and the
Government cannot 60 into court
for an injunction as it did in the
recent soft coal strike.
However, presidential fact
finding board studied the dispute
and recommended a pay raise of
1914 cents an hour and changes in
some working rules. The proposals
were accepted by the carriers and
rejected by the unions. The wage
boost turned down by the 3 unions
was accepted last fall by 2 other op-
Grating and 16 incorporating broth
erhoods.
