out the back way and hoped
into his jalopy. There was a
reception to follow. but they had
forgotten to invite him.

Gee, can you?" he said.
He's a clear case of a man who
doesn't know his own strength -
or doesn't want to know it.
Weight To Throw
HE COULD be tough if he chose
to be. His career is strictly from
Jack London - in his time he
has been sand hog. seaman, sewer
builder, salesman, miner, cow
boy, bodyguard to a mobster,
photographers model and WPA
laborer.
He is, on the other hand, a
graduate of Dartmouth, where
he edited the college paper and
wrote poetry. Incidentally. he
was never defeated in four years
of intercollegiate boxing.
Out of this welter of odd jobs
and contradictory experiences.
one fact emerges. Here is a man
with plenty of weight to throw
around. Because he doesn't, the
tendency is to ignore him.
Currently, to be sure. he is
doing better. He is starred in
a film opposite Joan Fontaine,
Born To Be Bad" and is sched-
uled for the title role in a high
budget Western, appropriately
titled, BEST of the Badmen."
Nothing sensational, but he
keeps working. Maybe he likes
it that way.

own reasons After producing the
Academy Award Winning picture
'Mrs. Miniver", the public set up a
hue and cry for a sequel to that great
success But other commitments

out several outstanding screen hits.

He's been a champ boxer,
a mobster's bodyguard, a
Marine, but anybody can
push Robert Ryan around
ID oBERT RYAN is a contradic-
l9tion in terms-a self-effacing
movie star. His modesty hasn't
helped his career. His willingness
to accept subordinate roles - as
in The Boy With Green Hair"
- after he was a star, seemed to
throw his bosses off balance.
Ryan has always been that
way. At the start of his career.
he was in a play with Tallulah
Bankhead - Clifford Odets'
Clash by Night" - and Holly
wood was already seeking him
out. The play closed when Miss
Bankhead suffered an attack of
flu, and nobody knew where to
find Ryan. Eventually they dis
covered him in a New York hotel
room "a victim of the same bug
that had attacked Tallulah. Only
he had neglected to tell anybody
about it.
He's Cot Time
DESPITE his diffidence, he was
slowly winning acknowledgment
in Hollywood when the war broke
out. Characteristically, he en-
listed quietly as private in the
US. Marine Corps.
He could have written his own
ticket after the war, on the
strength of "Crossfre." He let
the golden opportunity dangle.
I'm doing fine" is his invari-
able reply. I've got time"

NewSofety
Record Set

K A new safety record was estab-
liShed at Hanford Works during
1949, it was announced Friday.
George r. Prout, General Elec-
trio vice president, congratulated
the Hanford workers on making
1949 the safest year so far "for
the excellent safety record estab-
lished here during 1949." The ma
jor accident frequency rate was
TIA as compared to the previous
record of g set in 1947.
Prout added that with the con-
tinued full cooperation of all
Hanford Works people, the acct
dent rate can be substantially
reduced during 1850. Not only
the first award in the new No
Accident safety award plan can
be won but it is quite possible
the next two will also be won,
Prout said.
NEW AWARD PLAN
The new award plan went into
effect at Hanford Works in Oc-
tober. The first is the Nucleonics
safety council award, achieved
after 134 consecutive major-in-
jury-free days. The General Man
ayers award is won when the
total days reaches POL. The Pre-
sident's award is reached when a
plant record of 268 days is estab-
lished without major injury.
The annual report said the
lost time injury frequency rate
for 19A9 was So per cent better
than the frequency rate for 1913.
The severity of injuries mark was
90 per cent better in 1949 than
the preceding year. ~
