and several score others. It OBJ
viously is an enterprise on which
Paramount lavished money in
the sure knowledge that Martin
Lewis admirers would lavish
same right back in even greater
amounts.
There is not much more that
can be said about it, though.
You can't tout a Martin-Lewis
fan off those boys and there's
really no point in trying. You
don't like 'em? Don't knock 'em.
On the other hand, there's no
point in suggesting that any
Martin-Lewis allergics try to de-
sensitize themselves with pro-
longed dosage. It could only
lead to bloodshed and it might
be the blood of the man who
suggested the treatment. Might?
It would be.
So, the best procedure is to say
merely that the boys are here
and up to what appear to be all
their old tricks with maybe some
new ones which look like the
old ones. In "The Caddy," they

The city's sheriff takes one

cides that the only way to keep

does, putting the badmen on
slightly slippery ground, but in
a fine position to make off with
the loot. The story, at this
point becomes much too involved
to relate further. It is enough
to say that it is accented with
quadrangle sort of love af-
fair and a rich amount of sus-
pense leading up to the robbery,
which is to take place during the
fight.

UNIV Paper AssaiIs
Policy Study Groups
As Sailing Device
BY the Asseeiossd Press

John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers charged yesterday that
most of the commissions set up
by President Eisenhower to
study national problems are just
devices ito stall and avoid de-
ciSions."
The Mine Workers Journal,
which generally reflects the
views of Mr.. Lewis, carries an
editorial in its latest edition,
under the heading "Administra-
ton can't avoid responsibility by
government by commission run
around"
The editorial said the voters
who elected the Eisenhower ad-
ministration and a Republican
Congress expect them to as
sumo the responsibility which
they so eagerly sought and to
stop stalling around with COM
missions to avoid the is
sues"
Commission Gimmick.
What the administration
wants to do. it does, regardless
of commissions" the editorial
continued, "but what it wants to
put OF, it puts OF by using the
commission gimmick as an ex-
cuSe."
President EiSenhower's an
nounced intention in establish
ing various commissions was to
get the most competent advice
possible in formulating the ad-
ministration's policies in such
fields as housing, inter-govern-
mental relations and agriculture.
The editorial said perhaps the
outstanding current example Of
government by commission" is
in the realm of agriculture.
"The farmers want action on
the pledge the G. o. P. gave them
IN the campaign, IL SAID, ana
they are not going to be satisfied
with a commission"
Same for Labor.
The same, the editorial added,
goes for labor land for other
groups that want action"
Mr.. Lewis supported Adlai
Stevenson in the 1852 campaign.
The editorial in the U. M. w.
Journal speculated on the possi-
bility that the administration
may appoint a commission to
study Taft-Hartley Act revision.
Such a course, it said, is being
advocated by "some of the pseudo
labor experts, in and out of gov
eminent, who like to obscure is
sues in plethora of words"

Representative Wollcott, Re-
publican. Of Michigan. in charge
Of economic controls In the
House, pointed out today that
the House on June S passed as a
separate bill the same plan for
a new Small Business Admins
tration which it later wrote into
the economic controls bill.
In view Of yesterdays Senate
vote, Mr.. Wollcott said the prac-
tical course now would be to drop
the new agency from the con-
trolls bill, continue the existing
agency for the time being, and
let Senate leaders try to pass the
separate bill later.
One Of the chief arguments
raised against the new agency by
the Senate opponents was that
the administrator would be out
voted on a three-man policy
board by the Secretaries Of
Treasury and Commerce.
Some Republicans indicated,
however, they thought the
Democrats were more concerned
over the question of patronage in
fighting to prevent replacement
of the Small Defense Plants Ad-
ministration with q permanent

ton.
