Reuther Is Speaker
On w e dnes day previous,
Victor G. Reuther spoke to an
enthusiastic audience, and left
the listeners wide-eyed as he
described the success of pre-
vious erative ventures
throughout Michigan.
"How excited can people get
about groceries," ask e d Bob
Pickus2 Bob was surprised to
see how excited Toledo con-
sumers became when they were
shown something that meant
money in their pocketbook, food
on their table, and a safeguard
against layoffs and depression.
Toledo consumers, he found, can
get mighty interested in some
thing like this!
Hardly person who attended
the Fair showed a lack of spirit.
The few were "shillers,' check
ing for price comparisons, and
most of these were chain store
managers - not so incognito
(unrecognized) as they thought
they were. But that's okay, be-
cause the only way they can
compete with us is to give the
profits back to the customers,
and we know they'll never do
that!
All Are Welcome
Two hundred volunteer organ
izers were obtained through the
fair. Anyone desiring to help
in any way, or wishing to make
an investment or become
member, can drop in at 8O5
Adams Street, Coop Center, or
phone FA 5181 for information.
The Coop is on the march.
We're really rolling now! Thanks
for this go to all the people who
helped to make the Fair such
a success. They really did a job,
and what's more they've said
they'd like to do it again, SO
the Coop will probably have
another fair soon. Maybe three
or four more? Who knows?

Ton of Groceries
Groceries - tons and tons
of them - were toted away
by the anxious throngS who
crowded into Nose Hall in a
steady stream for the two-day
sale last Friday and Saturday.
But they didn't stop at just grab
bing the bargains. They paused
to study the displays and to ask
questions of the volunteer organ
izers and clerks who performed
yeoman service free gratis in
order that the Coop story could
be properly told to Toledo's
consumers.
High grade motor oil sold at
nearly half price. Savings on
appliances ran as high as forty
per cent. Sardines sold at two
cans for 81 cents, while they
lasted. Forty cases of shortening
were sold, and still more orange
Juice. Those who knew of the
high quality of Coop mer-
chandise took case lots of their
favorite items. The largest single
order was for more than SAT
worth of groceries. Most items
were sold out before Saturday
evening.
Those Attending Praise
Doubling Th I'm ses, and
smart-cracking KIN ow- t alls
didn't attend the fair. That was
their loss. Those who did are
the praises of the whole
idea, and clamoring for another
fair.
On Sund day afternoon Don
Kramer, of the Farm Bureau
Insurance Company, subbed for
Murray Lincoln, who was sud-
denly called into Washington
last weekend on i'm port an
and believe us, Mr..
Kramer really gave his audience
a treat with his Sunday after
noon address. More than 800
people went away with enough
knowledge to entitle them to

Museum in Berlin, Will be
shown in the Toledo Museum
March % through 81. Dur
ing this time the Museum hour:
will be 8 a. m. to 8 p.r m. daily
except Sunday, when the gal
leries will be open from l p. m
to 9 o. m. This will make it pos
sible for men and women on al
shifts to see these famous pic
lures.
Paintings Removed
When Adolf Hitler finally hao
to admit to himself that Berlin
was sure to be destroyed, he or
dered the paintings removed tc
a safer place. A couple of small
open trucks were all that could
then be spared for the job. In
these the pictures were hauled
to Merkers, some 200 miles
southwest of Berlin, and placed
in mine chambers 2,100 feet be-
low the surface.
There they were found less
than a month later by soldiers OF
the Goth Division.
Of about 800 other pictures
from the Kaiser Friedrich col
lection which had to be left in
Berlin, about 400 are said to
have been destroyed during the
bombardment of the city, and
the remaining 400 were carried
away by the Russions. Nothing
has since been heard of these.
Found In Mine
In the mine at Merkers there
was found, along with the pic
lures, a hundred tons of gold
bullion which was the entire
gold reserve of Germany, and
immense stocks of currency
from many nations including ST.
in United States bills.
The pictures, which were le-
gally owned by the Prussian
which had been col
lecting them for a century and
a half, and a vast quantity of art
treasures looted by the Germans
from all over Europe during
World War II, were gathered by
the us. Army into collection
centers at Wiesbaden, Munich,
Marburg and other places. Ar
ticles stolen by the Germans
were returned to the countries
from which they came.
At that time there was no safe
place in Germany where the pic
lures from the mine could be
stored under proper conditions.
For this reason, President Tru-
man announced, in February,
1916, that they would be brought
TO the United States for safe
keeping in the National Gallery
Of Art in Washington.
Later the most delicate of
them were sent back to Germa-
ny when General Clay said they
could be cared for. The remain
ing 81 have since visited dozen

TIUC Delegates
HaveAnswerOn
Press Release
They Say II Looks
Like A Political
Deal For Some

The phone lines at the Toledo
Industrial Union Council, central
body of the CIO in Toledo and
area, were busy all day Monday.
Richard Lazette, president of
the TIUC and Howard Rediger
executive secretary were busy
attempting to answer the $64
question about the press release
in the Sunday paper issued by
minor CIO officers asking for
an administrator for the TIUC.
The main question was why
were there no reasons stated in
the press release asking for an
administrator. The second ques-
ton was why did the accuers
fail to present disagreements, If
any, before the TIUC delegates
which represent all segments of
the CIO in Toledo.
Most delegates C lin 6 the
TIUC asked to be quoted on a
statement saying that it looked
like a political publicity deal to
help some individual or indivi-
duals TO get elected or reelected
to a union position.
The strategy committee of the
TIUC met on Tuesday and issued
! the following statement to the
newspapers in Tole d o as its
answer:
Members of the Toledo In
dustrial Union Council Strategy
committee, composed of repre-
sentatives of International and
local unions of the CIO, ex-
pressed surprise after reading in
the public press an announce
ment that some officers of Local
IA and the chairman of the
Auto-Lite unit and two delegates
affiliated with TIUC, said that
they would send letters to Philip
Murray, national president, and
the vice-presidents of the ClO,
seeking the appointment of an
administrator for the TIUC.
The strategy committee feels
that the union hall should be
utilized to discuss problems and
differences of opinion. Members
of the strategy committee are
appointed delegates from the
TIUC to act and draw up recon-
mendations to the executive
board to be presented at regular
TIUC meetings for approval.
The Toledo council is the first
industrial union council of its
kind organized in the United
States and has often been
praised by President Murray
and other top CIO officials for
its outstanding achievements in
this community. The expressions
of the strategy committee and
officers of the TIUC is that there
has not been any neglect in the
performance of official duties.
Undoubtedly criticism offered
by this small group has only one
objective in mind, this is to
make political gains for their
own personal benefit and not to
further the interests of labor
in this community.

currently constituted, it's simply
impossible for the studios to
handle the crowds. Since they
cannot play favorites, only peo-
pie with urgent business are per-
mitted on sound stages.
But Corinne, who makes her
debut in Rope Of Sand" with
Burt Lancaster for Hal Wallis at
Paramount, suggests Hollywood
turn back the clock 80 years.
In the early days Of films,
when the screen was silent,
lbleacher stands were built on
every set and the public paid
small fee to sit and watch the
stars at work.
Why not cons struct t small
stands on the larger stages and
separate them by glass parti-
ton from the actual set?" asks
Corinne. "That way the fans
who come so far to see pictures
shot could make their trip com
plete. And the funds raised by
selling tickets could go to the
Motion Picture Relief Fund"
No Hard Feelings
Miss Calvet, who's as bright
as she is pretty, points out this
system would also solve the re-
lated problem of telling people
they can't come in-yet keeping
them as friends of the company.
If they didn't reserve their seats
ong enough in advance they
would have only themselves to
blame. And studio executives
wouldn't be pestered by neigh
bors, friends and relatives all
wanting to smuggle Aunt ST.
phronia or Cousin Jeremiah in
to a studio.

Lucille Ball Plans
To Return To Stage

HOLLYWOOD - Lucille Ball
is making plans to return to the
stage to take over the feminine
lead in the broadway hit, Born
Yesterday" for a month after
she finishes her current co-star-
ring role with Bob Hope in
"Where Men Are Men," Para
mounts new Technicolor COM
edy.
The red haired actress reveal
ed recently that she had receiv-
ed an offer from producer Max
Gordon and director Carson
Kanin to do the summer replace
ment stint. She said she was
anxious to accept and expected
to arrange her schedule so she
could fill in before August be-
fore launching the fall season
of her radio show.
Lucille received a similar in
vitation last summer to do
Born Yesterday, but was un-
able to accept then because of
conflicting Hollywood commit
ments. Her last stage appearance
was more than a year ago when
she toured for "a weeks in the

ton could proceed without in
terruption," continues Corinne.
CAS- it is now, the very few visit
ors who do get on set often
crowd the technicians and actors
and even ruin shots by laughing
or talking at the wrong mo-
ment."
The actress suggests that each
ticket be good for only one
hours visit. This would permit
a sizeable turnover every day.
And, since many stages border
on the street, it would not be
necessary for visitors to enter
the studio proper. One ticket
taker could handle the crowd.
