THE RECORD
Continued from Page Two)

HOUSE BILL 81 - by Durkee,
Cervoski and Sykes-proposed con-
stitutional amendment lowering the
voting age to Is years. Proponents
of the measure contended that the
higher level of education attained by
young people reaching Is years of
age made them more competent to
cast intelligent ballots than were
their grandfathers when they were
81 years old. Another argument was
that if our young people are old
enough to fight and die for our
country, they are certainly old
enough to have a say in naming the
men to represent us in public office.
lib 81 was sponsored by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, Amvets, and the
Order of the Purple Heart. HB 81
received bare majority of house
votes 41-39, but failed to secure the
two-thirds necessary for constitu-
tional amendment. Aye votes were
for lowering the voting age to Is,
Nay votes were against.
Sub. HOUSE BILL "a - Senate
vote taken on amendment by Ander
son of Pondera to remove the 500
week limitation on workmen's COM
pensation payment to men perma-
nently disabled in industry. In
speaking for his amendment Ander-
son pointed out that in the 81 years
the Workmen's Compensation Act
has been on the books, only 313 dis
abled workers out of total of 345,-
PIT injured workers had received the
full 500 weeks of payments. This
amounted to less than one-tenth of
37.years. Yet, to those permanently
disabled the loss of benefits at the
end of 500 weeks presents a very
serious problem. A problem which
is usually resolved by Public Welfare
having to provide subsistence for
such disabled workers and their fam
lies. Sen. Ettien, Granite, spoke in
support of Anderson's amendment.
Sens. Winters, Ravalli, and Wallace,
Lake, spoke in opposition. Com
pany" forces opposed lifting the linn
itation. The amendment lost, 1877. |
Aye votes were for the amendment,
and Nay, against.
HOUSE BILL SO and SENATE
BILL 216-These two bills proposed |
that employees be given two hours
off to vote on general election day.
The only major difference in the two
two bills was that HB 50 proposed
the employee be paid for the two
hours, provided he went to the polls
and voted. HB SO, introduced by
Graybill and Rimel, after sharp de-
bate failed to pass, 42-44. Senate
Bill ZIG, by Weydemeyer, passed !
the senate 1913, but was killed in the
house at the request of Pfohl of
Park. There was no house roll call
on SD PIG. House roll call on HB
50 and Senate roll call on SD ZIG |

both instances. Nay votes were
against passage.
Sub. HOUSE BILL 93-This was
the "company-blast" Unemployment
Compensation bill. Although widely
heralded as a measure to increase
compensation payments three dollars
per week, as passed by the house,
Sub. HB SO actually would have
emasculated the unemployment COM
pensation act. Restrictions placed
small percentage of workers would
have been eligible for benefits. Par
ticularly hard hit would have
been workers following such
highly seasonal pursuits as lumber
ing and logging, construction and
sugar beet refining, because of the
new way of figuring unemployment
credits for such workers. The senate
removed some of the more objection
able features of Sub. HB SO, but, as
placed on the statute books it will
still deny an estimated 12A per cent
of all unemployed any benefits.
Montana labor Representatives were
for retaining the very inadequate
existing law without change rather
than accept the bill as it passed the
house. Aye votes were for emascu-
lating the Unemployment Compen-
sation Act. Nay votes were for re-
tanning present act.
SENATE BILL = This is the
Personnel Commission bill. Pro-
ponents contended that by setting
up a personnel commission more
equitable salary standards could be
established for state employees doing
similar work in various departments.
They further contended that merit
examinations provided under the act
would bring better qualified people
into state employ. Opponents claimed
that SB 1 would set up just another
expensive state bureau, which when
fully-manned would cost the taxpay-
ers another $4,000 per year, and
because of loopholes in the act, could
result in another "Hitler" law should
a Governor choose to use it as a
means toward building political ma
chine. Labor opposed SB 1 because
it will jeopardize collective bargain
ing agreements with the state. Initial
to set up the commits |
sion is $4,000. The Personnel Di- |
rector will receive salary of $1,000 |
per year. The commission, although |
with the same matters as
the Joint Merit Council, will be with
out jurisdiction over the 600-plus
employees under the latter agency.
Aye votes were for establishing
another state agency. Nay votes
were against.

HOLLYWOOD.

Many of our TV comedians
have surrounded themselves with
such an assortment of yes-men
and well-wishers that they no
longer know what's funny and
what isn't.
These paid claques consist of
the people who ostensibly are on
hand to assist the comic in build
ing his show. In some cases it
is everyone from the producer
and director on down to the
writer, press agent and even the
valet.
In an effort to avoid biting the
hand that feeds them, these
gentlemen will resort to all
known types of apple-polishing
and inner-office politics.
At a recent rehearsal of one
of the better known comics I
saw the producer double up

Man Paid 29 Years Later
For SnoW-ShoveIinu Job
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Dec. 21.-Daniel j.
Davies, a 59-year-old laborer, is
getting paid this Christmas for
snow shoveling he did in New
York 20 years ago.
New York City's sanitation
commissioner, Andrew Mulrain,
has sent him personal check
for SIS. He dug into his own
pocket for the money after Mr..
Davies wrote recently that he
had failed to collect for 10 hours
work one winter night in 1924.
Mr.. Davies said he was supposed
to get so cents an hour but some
body accused him of shirking the
job and he stomped off without
collecting.
Told yesterday that the New
York sanitation chief was pay
ing off at the current pay scale
three times what it was in
1924-Mr. Davies said: We'll,
I'll be blowed. Just like an
American, isn't it?"

The AppIe-PoIishers Don't
Make Comics Any Eunnier

piece of business the comedian
threw into the proceedings. "Oh,
that's funny, very funny!" yelled
the producer, still holding his
sides. Leave it in, by all means. "
Actually the bit was hardly
worth a chuckle, but after watch
ing his producer split his ribs
over it. the comic was going to
be the last one to argue the point.
The writer's on a comedy show
make the best audience at
rehearsal, of course. Their
motives are twofold. First, they
want to insure themselves of
continued employment in very
precarious business; second. they
will be the last to admit that the
script is anything but hilarious.
+
I've seen writer's whoop it up
so Historically at rehearsal that
the comic, himself became little
self-corscious. "Is it really that
funny?" one particular clown
asked. Naturally. he was assured
by his two writer's that Chaplin
had never done better.
An effusive press agent for
another big name video comic
religiously attends all of his
clients rehearsals. He not only
keeps himself in a state of con-
vulsive laughter at everything
his employer says or does. but
collars everyone else in the studio
and gives them a sales pitch on
the comics talents.
Another type of claque fol-
lowing in the wake of some TV
comedy shows is that made up
OF relatives and friends. One
feminine star has the network
reserve an entire block of studio
seats for her father and mother.
They in turn put the arm on all
their friends and show up en-
masse each week to laugh and
applaud raucously.
A famous comedienne' mother
does the same things for her
daughter, and mama watches
over her stooges like a setting
hen. Any one who doesn't laugh
it up to satisfaction is sure to be
cut off the free ducat list the
following week.
X y X X
suppose this could be con-
Sidered admirable loyalty on the
part of these two gals friends
and parents. but it is unfair to
the home audience, which
doesn't share the same reasons
for laughing it up. and has to
rely on the comedy itself.
It's about time that TVS
funnymen woke up to the fact
that these claques, whether paid
for or free, are doing them a
great disservice.
GNSAJ VAAAAC O. C1CW VI U1lCSC
professional back patters con-
vlnces comedian that a skit or
joke is funny just to vindicate
their staying on the payroll, then
both the comedian and his So
called aides are gyping the view
erS.
There's reason why Jack
Benny and George Burns and
Oracle Allen and one or two
others nearly always manage to
come up with good shows. They
haven't Succumbed to this busi-
ness of hiring court testers to
convince them that they are
funny,
Benny and Burns can smell
bum joke or an unfunny situa-
ton a mile away, and they toss
them out instead of paying a
group of parasites to salve such
cllnkers with soft-soap laughter.
If a comic hasn't any judg-
ment when it comes to humor,
he at least should have the good
sense to employ people who not
only have the judgment but
the courage to tell him when
he's laying an egg.
