Saturday Night HiN-BiIy Shows
Start Soon in Constitution Hall

Constitution Hall is going hill
billy 50 nights year.
Every Saturday night, beginning
April II, the stage will be taken
over for three full hours by bone
knockers, banjo-strummers, square
dancers and washtub beaters. All
this-and lots more-will go to
makeup what the promoters call
"The Worlds Greatest Hillbilly
Show"
Why the greatest? Because, they
say, many of the acts will be booked
direct from Nashville'S Grand Ole
Opry," regarded as tops in hillbilly
shows.
Signing of the contract was an
nounced yesterday by Fred Hand
managing director of Constitution
Hall, and Connie B. Gay, moving
figure behind the show. It will be
called, incidentally, Gay Time"
MIR. Hand, who said he was author
lied by the Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution to rent the hall to
whatever organizations he wished,
declared he thought there is some
sort of a revolution going on" in
the entertainment field.
Citing the empty seats at many
performances this winter of top
artists in the classical field, he said
he is. trying to find out what the
people want"
Look at Spike Jones and what
he drew at the National Theater,' y
he said. Cor take the crowds Con-
ME Gay attracted at his only pre-
vious show here last Halloween"
Mr.. Hand refused to say what
the yearly rental fee would amount
to. terming it IAN unfair question. "
Admission to each show will be 81,
$1.50 and $2
Mr.. Gay, who refers to his pro-
ductions as concerts Of folk music,
rather than hillbilly programs, an
nomced the director Of music for
the shows will be Clyde Moody. Mr..
Moody also is known. as the Caro-
lima Woodchopper.
Additions now are being held for
Washington hillbilly artists who wish
to become part Of the show, which
will be broadcast in its entirety
over WWDC-FM. The regular troupe

MonsfieId's Safety Jomboree'
.DeIiohts 700 School Children

More than TOO delighted school
children were the guests of retired
Police Inspector Richard H. Mans
field at his 10th annual safety jam
boree" for school safety patrols OF
his old command, No. Precinct.
The director of The Stars School
Safety Program himself was the fea-
ture with the crayons and drawing
board he has carried with him to
almost all the city's schools during
his decade as safety salesman.
The inspector, who turned his full
time to safety after retiring as chief
of detectives in 1912, drew laughter
and cheers for his expert cartooning
of characters from his travelling
safety circus"-Ginger and Leo,
the lions; Honk Honk, the bicycling
elephant, and others. But 1t wasn't
just fun. With each line went q
safety rule, and at one point the in
spector even sang q song about
traf1ic lights-to the tune of Jingle
Bells"
How about the old elephant?"
he asked his eager audience, all
members of the inspectors Safe
ty Carefuliers."
"Yes!" in a chorus-and he magi-
cally appeared. even to the crowning
new look" of nail polish on his
toes. Even 5-year- -olds couldn't
help laughing at that.
But we know he never rides on
the handlebars," the inspector cau-
toned, along with a half-dozen
other warnings in quick succession.
Many were the sad faces when
the artist cut short his drawing.
But they frightened again when a
string Of cartoons and comedies
came on the screen. Afterward
there was free ice cream.
Assisting Inspector Mansfield was
Pvt. Joseph j. Junghens, safety CO.
ordinator Of the precinct, which has
more schools than any other in the
city. The party was held at the
Atlas Theater, 1881 H street NE,
through cooperation Of Frank M.
Boucher, Kogod-Burka Theaters
general manager. Mrs. Ida Clark
played the piano for the safety
singing.

The AFT. leader recognized that
some sections of thought feel that
the Taft Hartley law hasn't been as
bad as labor feared because there had
been fewer strikes than in similar
periods. Green said these people
ignore the fact that many unions

exempt until their termination dates
or Aug. %. 1915 whichever is earlier.
The blow-off will come at the ex-

ITU EXPOSES BOSSES anti UNION PLOT, SHOWS
MANY wage GAINS DISPUTE SLAVE Law

Existence Of a publishers cOnspir-
acy to destroy the International Typo
graphical Union by legal action under
the NAM-Taft Hartley act is charged
in a leaflet issued by the printers
militant union.
The ITU is among the labor organ
izations that have decided on a policy
of firm noncompliance with the slave
labor law, which outlaws the closed
shop the printers have had in effect
for many years. Instead of negotiat-
ing agreements, the ITU posts condi-
tons Of employment under which its
members are willing to work.
Three ex-New Deal legal lights are
masterminding a series OF court
cases against the ITU that are being
financed by the publishers, who charge
the union with violating the new labor
law. Counsel for the publishers is
the firm Of Arnold, Fortas and Porter.
Thurmond Arnold, former US AS
sistant Attorney General. distinguish
ed himself while in office by trying to
Montana labor news., 1948-01-01

invoke the anti trust laws against lab
or unions. He lost his cases in the
US Supreme Court. Fortas is the
~youngish former aid to ex-Secretary
of Interior Harold Ickes. In the pc
riod when Ickes was in charge of gov
ernment-seized coal mines, Fortas fed
him advice that he got from coal oper-
ators. Whenever lckes acted on it. he
had cause to regret it. Paul Porter
was one of the several unsuccessful
|OPA administrators
The plot against the ITU is not only
being pushed in court actions but also
through an intense propaganda drive.
The ITU leaflet reprints a confidential
memo from trade association eXecu-
tives to boss printers telling them of
plans for distribution in every plant
of a special pamphlet setting forth
the employers side of the controversy.
Special instructions were given
the printing employers to get this ma
terial into the hands of their printers
as close to the time of filing of the
court action as possible. The prepar-
alton and timing indicate a well-organ-
lied campaign to try and undermine
the loyalty of printers to their union.
The vicious anti union drive Of the
employers has not, however, slowed
the wage progress Of the ITU, as
demonstrated by a lengthy list Of
gains negotiated since the slave
law became effective. City after
city is listed where lTU locals have
succeeded in obtaining increases
for both newspaper and commercial
printers.
Hitting back at the boss propaganda
the ITU reports that its membership
is overwhelmingly solid in support of
the union program as adopted by its
l947 convention. The ITU points out
that there is no alternative to the pol
icy OF noncompliance, except to sur
render the principles of the ITU.
Surrender, it comments, would place
it at the mercy Of the employers who
have tried to wreck the union at every
opportunity and who are now using
the vicious NAM-Taft-Hartley act as
an instrument to try and destroy it.
