Picture Taken
SEATTLE, Oct 12,-CPr-Puttine
the situation mildly, Kay Francis,
topingnt Hollywood star, and John
(Hack) Miller, blunt-spoken Post-
Intelligencer photographer, don't
get along so well.
The mutual lack of esteem was
discovered this afternoon. Just aft
er Miss Francis learned she could
n't uy nacK to Hollywood to keep
a studio appointment To use her
own words, she1 was "doing cross
word puzzles and stewing,? in her
hotel room when Hack and Lu
cille Cohen, Post-Intelligencer re
porter, "arrived for an interview.'
Miss Francis was clad for tra
veling which she wasn't going to
do ixk slacks, sweater and horn
rimmed glasses. She opened the
conference with, the thought she
guessed she wouldn't' have any
pictures taken today.
Well, you don't look very pho
togenic, just now. do you?" Hack
agreed. But it appeared that kind
of 'agreement wasn't, what pleases
movie stars and when things sim
mered down enough for Lucille to
take notes it developed that Hack
was the rudest man Miss Francis
had positively ever seen and
should get out of her room and
stay, which he didV
The motion picture star came to
Seattle on business for the naval
aid auxiliary and stayed to tour,
the naval' hospital.' Then just as
she was to leave for the south, her
reservation was cancelled because
a group of ferry pilots needed the
space. Shell fly back, or go on
the train when space is available.
And. in the meantime, isn t hav-
ing any pictures taken. Thanks.

Labor members of the war labor

said they were trying to work out
something on paper before seek

Information came from a princi

that the administration would not
risk a change in basic wage policy
until victory in Europe is clearly
