FEATURE
AND WESTERN ARE
AT 10Th CENTURY

A double portion of trigger-tau
suspense, lightning action and sim
lister intrigue hit the screen of the
2Cth Century Theatre with spine
tingling intensity yesterday with
the opening of Roses Are Red,
the new Sol M. Wurtzel thriller
featuring Don Castle, Peggy Knud-
sen and Patricia Knight.
With an exciting mix-up OF
physical doubles and the covering
up of a murder, the Irving Elman
screen play makes surprise take
off which builds to two-fold inten-
sity when Castle, the d. A. and
Castle, the criminal, swing into
action The story plot concerns it
self with crusading city prosecu-
FOR who is Kidnapped and replaced
III office by his look-alike who runs
the city as a tool of its corrupt po-
litical machine.
Don Castle, in the dual assign
ment, does an amazing JOE OF in
dividualizing each portrayal which
lead him into complex romantic
problems in the film involving two
lovely blondes. Peggy Knudsen
plays the DA.'s girl friend, re-
porter who accidentally discovers
the switch and proceeds with dam
gerous investigation to discover his
kidnappers, while Patricia Knight
gives an equally credible perform
arce as the glamorous wife Of the
impersonator.
The western bill is Jimmy Wakely
in Riding Down the TRAIL with a
good cast including Wesley Tuttle
and his Texas Stars.

Along the Potomac
to Washington
By j. Glenn Beall

The consensus among observers in
10th parties here is that the Presi-
dents prestige took a tremendous
nosedive as a result of labor legis-
lation developments in the House of
Representatives
The result was a fight by the Ad-
mnistration to send the whole prob
lem back to committee for further
discussions. This, in Washington
rarlence, means that the Admins
tration hopes to be able either to
Democrats into voting for whatever
legislation the leaders will endorse.
If only eight members of the House
of Representatives have their minds
changed by pressure from the
White House, the Administration can
get a face-saving bill from Congress,
unless, of course, some of those who
voted for the President last week in
the meantime decide that it is wiser
to vote against him next time.
Pleasing 140,000,000 Americans in
labor bill is a tremendous problem.
1t never has been political problem,
although many politicians have tried
to make it so, in an effort to reap
political benefits. Writing labor legis-
Iation is, in effect, writing legislation
Il g
creed, color, and walk of life. Labor
legislation affects all the people who
work. Making rules under which all
groups are treated fairly all the time
is ticklish job, and when it is mixed
with politics, it becomes an impos-
sible job.
Many Democrats and many Repub-
licans have worked to solve labor
problems in line with the best inter
ests of all classes, not just to please
this group or that special group. If
we are to have labor law that will
work best for all groups, we must
approach its writing in this spirit.
1t is apparent to me that no labor
law can go year after year without
being changed and amended. 1t does
not have to be repealed to be i'm
proved and to give equity to those
who, inadvertently, may have been
treated inequitably by certain pro-
visions. | said only a month after
passage of the Taft Hartley Act
that l would be in favor of amending
it when the need was shown. l am
now in favor of amending it in GER
tain important respects, as most
members Of Congress are also.
This, to me, is the best way for us
to go about handling the delicate
problems of human relations created
by free labor and free management
in free society. Any other way can
bring injustice or tyranny to this
or that group-the very thing every
Congressman should work to prevent.

Judging by the amount of comment
in the Washington papers about vari-
Gus candidates for the office Of city
commissioner, now filled by J. Rus
sell Young and just reappointed to a
fourth term by the President,
visitor would think that this was one
of the highest government posts in
existence. 1t is an important position
TO the people of the District of
Columbia, but whether one particular
Democrat or another gets the spot is
of little national moment.
| There is something ridiculous about
the manner in which the various
Democratic factions in voteless
Washington worked to promote this
or that candidate, or to keep Mr..
Young in as commissioner. If the in
cumbent had made outstanding ac-
complishments, or outstanding blund-
ers, in his present post, there might
be some reason to get excited about
whether he should or should not
have been changed.
But, alas, for Mr.. Young, he has
neither become hero nor a heel to
any particularly powerful group. He
has simply done a good job in a
political post. l am pleased that the
President has seen fit to reappoint
him.

Styles in Cars Pretty
Well Set for Present

DETROIT. - Styles in cars are
pretty well set. New-car buyers
won't have to worry about the jobs
they buy now going out Of style for
quite a while.
That is because tooling costs are
so terrifically high that the car
makers can't afford to change over
as often as they did before the war.
Some day this is going to present
a problem for the automobile max
ers, for it combines with another
factor. During the war, people
learned that their cars were built
to give good transportation a lot
longer than was generally believed
to be the case.
So when the day comes when the
industry will have to sell cars, in
stead of just taking orders for
them, they'll have to S some
pretty strong arguments to get the
former car-a-year buyers to revert
to the old practice.
Trend is to flesh and blood" in
automobile leadership names. For
instance, kelly Auto Co." has more
personality in a community than
Main Street Auto Co."
