Doris Day, who made mint
at the boxofice playing the
girl next door. win move In
1855 TO Q sexier medium.
In young at Heart" she de-
lightfuliy, fills q bathing suit
for the first time on the screen
and in Love Me or Leave Me"
she slithers through the gang
ster-speakeasy era. The latter
picture is the Ruth Etting
story.
Jimmy cagney, seldom paired
with giri-next-door types, will
play Martin THE Gimp Sny-
der, ex-husband OF Miss Etting.
Snyder once was convicted and
spent two years in the county
JAN for shooting UP the sing
er's accompanist. Snyder later
was freed by q State Supreme
Court ruling which granted q
retrial. Neither Miss Etting or
Myrl Alderman. who had
graduated from accompanist
to husband, would testify
against Snyder, so the district
attorney moved for q. dismissal.
Miss Days decision to travel
the movie sex route is accented
by the fact that Ava Gardner
was talked Of for the part un-
til the new Doris Day won out.
Producer Joe Pasternak, who
made the choice. reports he is
both happy and sad. Happy,
he explains. because he thinks
Doris Is the logical choice to
play the famed singer but sad
because:
Once an agent came In TO
see me about q girl singing
with Les Browns band. I
could have signed her for $500
4 week. Now Doris Day win

ing oil we'll.
The Doris Day story is the
kind of success saga that still
brings pretty girls into town
by the busload. She became
q star with only one dramatic
role behind her--that OF q
duck In q Mother Goose play
in Q Cincinnati grade school.
OF course, she was q pretty
fair band singer. but the NOR
tality rate Of hand singers IN
Hollywood Is high.
Doris fell Ii love with and
married Marty Meicher, b

his wife's career like Al Weill

q JOY-RIDING STATUTE

At common law and under our
present criminal statutes one of
the elements of larceny is the Spe-
cific intent of the wrongdoer Who'll
ly and permanently to deprive the
o Vner of his property In most
thefts this requirement poses no
problem as the facts clearly indi-
cate that the thief was making the
property his own with no thought
of returning it to the owner
With the coming of the automo-
bile. however a serious question
did arise. A typical example would
be this: Johnny Smith had no car
OF his own. One day. in 1920 on
passing car that was standing at
the curb. he noticed that the igni-
ton key was still inserted in the
car. He looked around and saw no
one in view Here was a chance
he thought to enjoy the use of the
car for three or four hours. He had
no intention of keeping the car al
ter the ride. Thus justified in his
own mind he entered the car and
drove it off Three hours later he
returned the car to the place from
which he had taken it The next
day he was arrested and. charged
with grand larceny At the trial he
was found not guilty on the charge
of grand larceny for the reason
that he had not intended to depr-
i've the owner permanently of his
property. What he had stolen was
the use" of the car.
If this same incident were to hap
pen in 1855 instead of 1920 Johnny
would most likely be tried under a
a statute we now have in the state
OF Washington. commonly called
the 10y riding statute . Under this
statute it is not necessary to show
that the wrongdoer intended to de-
priye the owner of his property
permanently. The wrongful taking
Is sufficient to constitute the
crime.

Union Has
CrUsuded For
80 Years

New York Three decades of
trade union crusading will be
marked on Thursday, August rs,
by the thirtieth anniversary of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, AFL.
The Brotherhood is the first,
and the only, Negro international
union in the United States. It's
militant history in labor rela-
tions is closely tied with the
overall social struggle for racial
equality and civil liberties.
Its history is equally the story
of its President and one of it's
original founders, A Philip
Randolph, who, more than any
one else, today speaks for the
American Negro worker.
With characteristic religious
zeal, overpowering oratory and
relentless devotion to basic
principles, Randolph has carved
for himself an impressive niche
in American public life as well
as in American trade union his
tory.
But the early years of Broth
erhood history, etched so pain
fully under the guidance of Ran
dolph, have been years Of quiet
desperation and terrible struggle
against the most formidable
odds conceivable.
When, on that fateful evening
of August 25, 1925, a half dozen
courageous sleeping car porters
the then-famous "Secret Six" :
met in New York City to organ
ize the Brotherhood, not even
they could realize the scope Of
the struggle which lay ahead.
Their most immediate and per-
haps most formidable foe was
the gigantic Pullman Company,
whose record until then in the
labor field had been character
lied by the violent Pullman
car strike of 1893. True to it's
advance notices, the Pullman
Company met the threat of an
organized labor union with in
timidation and force. Porters
who dared defy the company
union by joining, or even speak
ing on behalf of the newly-for-
med Brotherhood, were given
time on the streets and fired.

from Jacksonville to Denver,
rounding up support for the
Brotherhood. But the law and
public opinion were not yet with
them. Fear raced neck-and-neck
with courage. To be a militant
trade unionist in the 1920's was
truly dangerous assignment.
The struggle for recognition
as a bonafide trade union re-
presenting the nations sleeping
car porters was not to reach full
fruition until the mid-1930's
when, under Franklin D. Roose-
velt, new labor legislation was
passed, specifically including the
porters as workers entitled to
collective bargaining and other
labor rights. Twelve years to
the day after the "Secret SIX
first met, the first agreement
with the Pullman Company was
signed. The Brotherhood had,
through federal mediation
election, gained the right to re-
present the porters almost two
years before.
Between 1925 and 1887. the
Brotherhood had fought anti
labor laws, hostile newspapers
and church groups, the Pullman
Company, tradition shackled
porters who feared anything
new, and an organized white la
Dor movement which resented
the prospect of an integrated la
Dor union.
The struggle was by no means
concluded with the signing of
the first contract. Prior to the
first contract the minimum
monthly wage for a porter was
S77.5O; the initial agreement in
1897 called for $89.5O; today the
minimum wage is S3O4.1s, with
lS days of paid vacation and 9th
