' him they go to their stations, but not in a parade. And they stand there. One chews gum. One spits on his own hands. Two or three do nothing but look at the autumn sky, hoping perhaps that they could be on our glorious Volga, where in the autumn the leaves fall from the trees as only Volga leaves can fall from trees.
 So, the man in the blue suit shouts, Play Ball" From the dumb, fascist mass, goes up an angry cry. But they soon subside. They sit there smoking pipes, cigars, cigarettes. Each is dressed as he chooses. There are many women, but they are like the men, sullen, not conscious of the turmoil in the world around them, of the revolutionary forces that conquer country after country
 In the middle of the field, in front of the man in the blue suit, is pitcher. He works slow. When he throws the ball, he picks up his leg, sticks it out in front, gives his whole body a half-turn and the ball flies. There is another player with a bat that is not shap- ed like bat but is one So he does nothing. The man in the blue suit shouts Striker The masses shout, Kill da bum!" How can it be a strike if nobody is on strike which they should be in sympathy with the toiling steel workers and the toiling coal work CTS and all the telling masses who demand more and more?
 So everybody subsidies again. There is anger in many faces. Also many are not angry. The mind here is undisciplined and does not know what to think and when, be- cause nobody tells them. So, again the pitcher winds up like a Wall Street robot and again the ball flies. This time. an Italian from San Francisco, fellow countryman of Vito Marcantonio, the mass lead CT of the Italian, Puerto Rican and Negro peoples, hits the small ball and it flies with the fury of a guided missile driven by the dyna- mic power of Stalism This Di- Maggie runs in a circle, coming right back to where he started
 So, after this DiMagglo runs around in a circle, everybody is screaming and yelling but nobody can understand a word, because these disorderly believers in indivi- dualism do not shout properly pre- pared slogans but each one says what comes into his head which cannot be much because he has not been properly trained in Marxism- Leninism-Stalinism and therefore makes no sense.
 So they subside and another comes up to hit the ball. He does nothing and then he goes to the next base, which shows the dis elimination which these fascistic anti-Semites, Negroes, Ku Kluxers, White Supremacy, Wall Streeters, Hoover-Dulles Trumanists practise. DiMaggio, of the Italian masses, labors valiantly and knocks the ball until even the democratic professor of astronomy, Harlow Shapley of Harvard University, can't see it. He gets no base but runs in a circle. This other player does nothing. He does not even move the bat He does not even try to hit the ball and he gets a base.
 Well, this goes on for the af- ternoon Then they all go home.

Liberal Victory
Impressive. ADA
Chief Points Out

WASHINGTON { L P A } -
The scare-word campaign of the
Republicans has back-fired, Ma
tional Director Charles LaFol-
lette of Americans for Demo
cratic Action declared in an
analysis of the Nov 8 elections.
LaFollette, himself former
liberal Republican Congress
man from Indiana, said the cleo
ton results Should be studied
by members of Congress espe-
cially." The vitality of lib
eralism wherever it was at is
sue, and the expressed popular
desire to get rid of boSsism, were
demonstrated" the ADA chief
added.
In Philadelphia especially,
where ''the Republican boss
made ADA the issue, and echo
ed the SANDER against ADA
currently being peddled by
newspaper columnists Pegler
and Sokolsky," LaFollette point
ed to the Impressive liberal
victory" The reform ticket for
four offices at stake this year
was headed by two Philadel-
phia ADA leaders, Richardson
Dilworth and Joseph Clark.

Director Marshall
Signed To New Pact

HOLLYWOOD - Marking
his 36th anniversary as mo-
ton picture director, George
Marshall has been signed to q
new two-year contract by Para
mount providing for him to dir
ect a picture year.
Long one of the industry's TOP
directors, Marshall recently COM
pleted his assignment on Fancy
Pants" Paramount's Technicol-
or laugh film co-starring Bob
Hope and Lucille Ball. He pre-
viously directed my Friend
Irma," Hal Wallis production
headlining John Lund, Diana
Lynn, Marie Wilson Don De-
Fore and comics Dean Martin
and Jerry Lewis.
Marshall directed his first film
a three-reeler, at the old Univer-
sal Studio in 1918.

HOLLYWOOD - If "stral-
ght man" suddenly appeared on
the set of Paramount's Fancy
Pants" he'd make fortune.
That's Bob Hopes claim.
There isn't a straight man
among u.s." he grinned. MAN
woman or dog, everybody on the
set gets into the act and we're
having laughs Sure, we get the
work done but under the pleas
antest circumstances. People do
twice the job if they feel as good
and as right with the world as
the gang on our picture.
"Pm supposed to be the comic
but may l say l have a lot of
willing helpers, programmed
and unprogrammed?"
Lucille Ball, having thrilled
through the movie Mighty Joe
Young" does a devastating take
off on the monster gorilla hero.
"ThoSe poor visitors on the
SET" Bob laughed. They don't
know what Lucille's up to, but
she knocks the company cold.
That girl is terrific comedian
new
Bruce Cabot, the dastardly
villain of Fancy Pants" an
swer's to the informal name of
"Cabbage-head"; Hope has been
known to respond to Lover
Boy, while assistant director,
Oscar Rudolph, in summoning
Miss Ball goes to great trouble
to pronounce her name back
wards. Thusly red-headed Lu-
cille is billed "Ellicul Lab"
II think ] could bet someplace
in motion pictures if I took that
monicker up seriously" remerk-
ed Miss Ball.
Director George Marshall, in
summoning his energetic band
of mimies in front of the camera,
merely yells:
Lets bake the ham"
The cast knows that means its
time to act.
Hope, of course, proves him
self master of ad-lib on every
occasion and he loves it when
he's topped by Miss Ball or Jack
Kirkwood, the radio funster, who
makes his screen debut in Fan
cy Pants"
Bob laughing at the others,
will say: "Hey, Who's head man
around here, anyway"
Hope and Miss Ball were play
ing a scene in a kitchen and Bob
picked up a tomato, of rather un-
usual formation.
Even the vegetables are try
ing to get in on the laughs" he
C o m m e n t e d. Where's that
straight man? / bet there isn't
one around for miles!"

sions on the unions terms, the

I'D done a great many plays
but achieved little of what I
call success before meeting my
wife Is years ago." be con-
fesses. "a happy marriage is a
great aid to an actor. 1t gives
him a poise he would other
wise lack. And I know have
culled great deal of wisdom
from my wife"
Both Miss Stanwyck and
Rains agree that normally sue
cussful marriage gives the par
ticipants a certain serenity
which is a particular boon to an
actor.
Peace Of Mind
"This peace of mind permits
an actor freedom Of thought and
thus he is better able to inter-
pref his roles any way he choos-
es," says Rains. 'If an actors
mind is troubled by demistic is
sues he cannot concentrate prop
erly on his job, and an actor un-
able to concentrate is liable to
be a poor actor"
AS proof for her contention,
Miss Stanwyck points to such
teams as Jack Benny and Mary
Livingstone, George Burns and
Oracle Allen, Alfred Lunt and
Lynn Fontaine, Fredric March
and Florence Eldredge-all at
the top of the ladder and all
successfully married.
Mr.. Rains, who was quite an
eye for the ladies, brings up the
matter of Miss Betty CRADLE. AS
a singer, dancer and actress Bet
ty's been in movies since her
earliest years, but only since she
became Mrs. Harry James and
raised a family has she achieved
fame as one of the screens top
boxoffice draws.
An untroubled mind free of
domestic worries enables an ac-
tor the better to control his
emoting. Add to this the COM
fort and aid offered party of the
first part by party of the sec
ond part, and you can readily
see the widsom of Miss STAN
