Police Charge Ex.Sexton In
France With Double Staying

BORDEAUX, FRANCE-A former
church sexton was charged with
killing his wife and a mistress, and
was being questioned about a miss
ing third woman.
Police said the case of Emile Des-
camps "a, might develop into an
other "Bluebeard" horror story
After an all-night grilling, Des'
camps confessed that he had killed
the two women, but later. after
irving to kill himself in his cell, he
denied everything.
Descamps was questioned along
with his current mistress, Margue'
rite Pujos, 54. They live in a village
10 miles from Bordeaux. Police
searched their house and said they
found women's rings, handbags and
watches.
Police said Descamps' story be-
gan in 1889 when Helene Aubry left
the village Of Mezin with a Louis
Descamps'' and never returned.
Six years later. they said, Miss
Aubry's son, Jean, notified police
of the disappearance and demand
ed an investigation. The search
led to the discovery that a second
woman had disappeared. She has
not yet been identified.
Detectives then began trailing
Descamps's wife. 1t developed that
she also had disappeared in ls45
after resuming life with her hus'
band in a hamlet near Bernary.
Descamps told his employer that
he had taken his wife to her
brothers." He returned home alone
and later left the village. He was
arrested in a town near Bordeaux.
Police said they still were work
ing on Descamps. They said ne
tried to kill himself with a small
dagger.

SOME FUN
Gag Writers
Worry, Too
SOME FUN

NEW YORK-Sidney Reznick. a
lugubrious young man under any
circumstances. folded the news
paper and gave himself up to woe.
"You wouldn't realize it," he
said, "but the international situa-
ton is what makes my job so hard
these days. How can I know what
will make people laugh when the
world is so upset?"
Reznick is a gag man and. typical
of many in his ulcer ridden craft.
hasn't had a hearty laugh himself
in years. His normal reaction to an
~uproarious joke is a dead panned
nod and the single word: Great. y
MY ulcers are getting ulcers"
he said. trying to keep people
laughing when every day. brings
them worse news in the interna-
tional sphere. Probably you haven't
noticed but we've had to switch
many Of our premises for humor.
They Laughed at This
For example, we used to get
bowls with situation humor. That
Is where the laughs are built into
a situation. Like this: Husband
leaves house and Immediately boy
friend enters. Husband unexpected
ly returns so boy friend hides in
closet. Husband forgot his brief
case and is looking for it. Now
practically every bit Of dialog can
produce a laugh because OF the
fact the audience knows the boy
friend is in the closet.
"You have a situation" in other
words. After squeezing all the
laughs you can out of the situation
you can get a final blast by having
the husband kiss his wife good-by a
second time and then, as he passes
the closet, knock on it and say:
'Good-by, Sam"
Reznick said the hair trigger
news from abroad IA making peo-
pie impatient with the situation
gag and Its long pulluuP.
Times Do Change
'"They want split second jokes"
he said. "And those are the tough
est to write. Also there is a peculiar
trend toward 'neurotic' humor-if
that's the right word. Psychiatry
has become a good subject for
laughs, which is sadly indicative
of the times.
Take this one. Woman on vaca-
ton sends her psychiatrist a post
card: Having wonderful time. Wish
you were here to tell me why"
This emphasis on the punch line,
Reznick said, is effecting the renais-
sance Of the pun.
"I know it's supposed to be the
lowest form Of humor," he said,
but I'll bet rs per cent Of the jokes
people laugh at r puns or near
puns."
Since Reznick has written jokes
for such stars as Milton Berle, AL
Jolson. Jimmy Durante, Ed Wynn
and Phil Silvers. he Is somewhat OF
an authority.

Clark Asked TO
Rule On Legality
Df New Contract

Washington (LPA) ~ Attorneys
FOR eight major recording compan-
les last week joined with the Am
erican Federation of Musicians
AFL in asking Attorney General
Tom Clark to rule on the legality
If their proposed new contract
which will end the nearly l1month
I'D record ban.
Altho there is not much doubt
lbout the legality of the settlement,
Clark may refuse to give his opin-
ion, since the attorney generals
eonsultant function is traditionally
limited to giving legal advice to
the government itself.
Principal concern Of the lawyers
is that the administered
public music fund be free Of Taft
Hartley interference. It's purpose is
to provide approximately 81 $4,000
worth Of free music annually for
he American people and provide
jobs for under employed musicians.
Prior to the enactment Of the
anti union statute, a similar fund,
financed from royalties from the
record companies, and administered
1y the AIM, had sponsored over
100000 Of free entertainment
during a two-year period.
Meanwhile, AIM Presid e n t
James C.. Petrillo and the recorders
completed negotiations on wages
and working conditions clauses of
the new contract.
A minimum rate Of $4125 for a
,hree-hour recording session, with
1875 overtime pay for each addi-
tional half hour was agreed to.
Only about 1000 of the AIMS
1856 members made recordings
With any degree Of regularity.
Even these averaged only about
S213.76 from record making in
1916, the union estimates. Like
other musicians they relied upon
"live" performances for the major
part Of their earnings.

An investment that will pay high
dividends are good clothes hangers
chosen with their particular pur-
pose in mind. Clothes properly
hung will last longer and keep their
shape better. They won't need
pressing so often and the results
will be that you will be better
groomed with little effort.
A smooth hardwood hanger with
felt lined jaws and adjustable
steel uprights for
skirts are best for women's suits
because this combination holds both
skirt and coat in one place.
Hat boxes with the drop side are
more accessible in small closets.
Store seldom used clothing in
garment bags in the back of your
clothes closet.
Envelope bags made of transpar-
ent plastic will keep order in dress
er drawers. Pack slips in one,
nighties or pajamas in another
girdles and panties in another size,
etc. In this way it is easy to find
any certain article without throw
ing the whole drawer in disorder.
These envelope bags are nice for
neckwear, and also good to keep
evening bags and other light color
perishable bags. In damp climates
they keep out the moisture and the
disagreeable odor of mustiness.
\ \ X
It's considered smart to wear
light gloves with dark clothes, and
dark gloves with light outfits. An
other good trick with gloves is to
choose them in a lighter shade of
your costume color, pearl grey with
charcoal grey, pale green with dark
green.

Would Substitute
PEo-labor Laws
For Taft-Martley

~ Cincinnati (LPA)-What kind of
a law should replace the Taft-Hart-
ley Act, if and when it's repealed?
The first extended discussion by
a prominent labor leader of that
question occurred at the annual
convention of the AFL Metal
Trades Department here.
President Charles j. MacGowan
of the Int'l Brotherhood of Boil
ermakers took up the issue, declar-
ing it required deep thought by all
labor before the next session OF
Congress begins.
For one thing, he said, the Taft
Hartley law drastieally overhauls
three labor's former legislative
bulwarks-the Wagner Act, Clay
ton Act and Norris-LaGuardia Act.
Thus, an outright Taft Hartley re
peal, with no substitute, would also
wipe out basic safeguards in those
three acts, MacGowan warned.
'In my opinion there is only one
way to repeal the Taft-Hartley
act" he declared, "and that is by
substituting an entirely new bill
which will preserve the fundament-
ais obtained by labor, starting with
the Clayton Act"
The labor movement is now OF
such strength that in the new leg
islation it must consider means OF
averting large-scale strikes that
could paralyze an entire industry
Nor the entire nation, MacGowan as
Dserted.
"New legislation, as / think OF
it, must encompass the principle
that collective bargaining must be
made to work at the lower levels
and from there on up the principle
of voluntarism must be preserved,
he said.
'But if it comes to point where
a serious disaster is likely to fol
low, then in our own defense We
have got to admit that some
method of fact-finding must be
used where labor will have it's day
in court, where the public will have
an opportunity to become acquaint-
ed with the facts, and where finally
the power of the United States
government may be used to enforce
on a voluntary basis the conclus
ions of such fact-finding bodies.
"a lot of people say that fact
finding is an abridgment Of thC
right of collective bargaining. Well
/ want to say that as one organ
ization which pretty nearly des
troyed itself in the great railroad
shopmen's strike Of 1922, alonG
with some other organizations il
this room today, we learned tha
you CANT paralyze the transporta
tion system of the country and ge
away with it.
"We learned that lesson in 1922
and we sat down and drafted tn,
a bill that later became the Railwa!
Labor Act, and from 1926 until thil
day we have lived under the prin
ciple of fact-fnding."
