Senators Describe
j. ). Wafer Fronts as
'LawIess Frontiers
BY the Assoeioted Press

A Senate subcommittee de-
clared last night, after an ex-
haustive investigation, that the
Nations waterfronts are plagued
by mixture of corruption and
communism.
The Senators asserted that
waterfrontS on the East, West
and Gulf coasts have been claw
less frontiers" for many years
but described the New York
dock area as the "foulest" of
them all.
The report was prepared by a
Senate Commerce subcommittee
headed by Senator Tobey. Re-
publican, of New Hampshire,
who died only a few hours before
its release.
ApplaudS Cleanup Efforts.
The subcommittee applauded
current State and Federal efforts
to clean up the New York New
Jersey waterfront. But it said
few lasting results can be ex-
pected unless Joseph P. Ryan is
removed as president of the In
ternational Longshoremen's As
Sociation.
Ryan. president of the lila
since 1927, was pictured as sur
rounded by hand-picked "cote-
rie of thugs and goons," and the
subcommittee said that for many
years he has been identified
with most Of the ills that afict
the New York waterfront"
"The sooner this spider and his
noxious web are swept out of the
waterfront labor movement. the
subcommittee said, "the better
for all concerned.
Ryan is under indictment on a
chargfe of misuse Of some 1000
in union funds. The American
Federation of Labor, parent body
of the lila, has directed it to
clean house or get out.
Last night the lila suspended
Anthony Anastasia. Brooklyn
docks leader, and said he would
be charged with misconduct.
known as Tough Tony" he is
a brother of racketeer Albert
AnaStaSia.
LawleSS Frontiers.
In describing the WaterfrontS
as laWless frontiers, the sub
committee said that not only are
mobsters we'll entrenched but
another. grimmer public enemy
also has his stronghold"
The report continued:
Here the Nations Commu-
nists and fellow travellers have
made their strongest bid for
power.
1T is a curious fact that for
some years past the waterfront
areas which appear cleanest. at
least on the surface. have been
those where subverSive devotees
of an alien faith have out
numbered or outfought - the
mobsters and grafters who want
only personal enrichment.
There has been little outside
resistance to these protagonistS.
Their victims, and the local au-
thoritieS who should have inter-
vened have been content to
stand aside and take what COM
fort can be cleaned from the
injuries one faction inf1icts from
time to time upon the other"

Be Sure to Position Your TV Set ProperIy

Of people in mind.
Rooms often need to be re-
arranged to accommodate the
set. This often isn't too difficult.
So. plot your room before you
shop. Your next decision re-
wolves about style as well as size.
Fortunately, the television COM
panies have had experience in
radio and phonograph. They do
offer teleWsion cabinets which
have traditional, as well as mod
ern characteristics. You can
find 18th century mahogany,
Early American maple and pine.
French Provincial fruitwood and
bleached as well as dark finished
contemporary and modern.
You also can md all styles
with doors that conceal the large
light-reflecting screen when not
in use.
After you have purchased and
placed your set you must adjust
the lamps and lighting in your
room. There must be light in
the room when you view tele-
vision.
Lamps should be placed so
that they do not reflect into the
screen. A translucent shade
without obvious hot spots from
the bulb is recommended.

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES

HOLLYWOOD ca - Ma and Pa
Kettle and their massive brood
are hitting the movie tran for the
last time.
Most movie series play more fl
nal engagements than Sarah Bern
hardt. But this is really the last
one for the sloppy Kettles and
their Is kids. So says Pa, other
wise known as Percy Kilbride.
The Kettles have had an amaz-
ing success. The characters were
pulled out Of .'The Egg and T. and
put into low-budget comedy. II
was an instant success, and one
picture led to another. Dollar for
dollar, they have been the best
movie investment in recent years.
Made on a quiekie budget, they
have 0utgrossed the majority OF
the high-priced epics.
It seems that everyone likes the
Kettle series except Marjorie Main
and Percy Kilbride, who play the
leading roles. Last year, when they
made their last one, an unre-
leased film about waikiki. they
swore it would be their last. But
here they are making another.
