Strike Ties Up
Detroit Traffic
Detroit, April 24 W) A sur
prise walkout of bus and street
car drivers today tied up all mu
nicipal transportation in Detroit
Mayor Albert E. Cobo called
it "a strike against the public.1
tie acted at once to invoke a
state law that forbids strikes by
public servants and permits their
dismissal as a penalty.
"Detroit will meet this crisis
and beat it as Detroit has met
such conditions in the past," the
mayor declared.
The walkout shortly before 4
a.m. (EST) climaxed a dispute
over wages.
Strikers are members of the
AFL s Streetcar and Bus Opera
tors union. First to walk off
the job were night crews among
the 3,700 drivers. They were
called off the ob as buses and
street cars rolled into the big
Darns.
Thousands of workers on night
shifts were left stranded. Mo
torists immediately started a
share-the-ride program.
The full impact on defense and
auto production in this strategic
industrial center of 1,600,000
people, however, would not be
felt until Monday.
The bus and street car opera
tors voted Tuesday by a 4-1 mar
gin to authorize a strike of the
municipally owned system.

TEENAGE TROUBLE
Survey Shows TV Pushes
Kids from Books, Movies
By PAUL F. ELLIS
(United Press Science Editor)
New York, April 21 (U.R A new survey showed today that
teen-age youths are reading less and skipping more movies
all because of television,
The survey, conducted by Dr. Paul Witty, Northwestern uni
versity professor of education, also showed that boys and girls
become less enthusiastic aboutw
television as they grow older,

Strawberry Festival Plans
Outlined at Kickoff Dinner
Lebanon Kick-off dinner for the 39th Strawberry festival re
cently drew the largest attendance of committee chairmen and co
chairmen in local fair history, according to Kenneth Sims, presi
dent of the fair board.
Lebanon's traditional festival, now one of the oldest in Oregon,
will be held June 8-9. Activities
will center on W. Sherman street
WRtv'R results were based on
a study of boys and girls in Oak
Park and River, Forest, 111., two
Chicago suburbs. He found that
44 per cent of the teen-agers now
attend movies less frequently
than before television. He also
found that one-third of the stu
dents read less, although those
who do read are reading better
material.
He said the most ardent tele
vision fans are those in the soph
omore group and that some of
the enthusiasm wears off as the
students reach the junior and
senior classes:
"Among the 64 per cent whose
families own television sets," he
said, "it was found that the aver
age sophomore views TV about
18 hours a week, juniors 14
hours and seniors, 12 hours."
Witty said the survey showed
only about 30 per cent of the
parents maintain regular view
ing schedules in the home. Many
students, he said, are permitted
to view the programs irregular
ly, during any hours which are
otherwise unoccupied. Fifty per
cent were encouraged to view
TV programs only after comple
tion of school home work.
Witty also asked teachers
about television and found most
of the instructors admitted edu
cational possibilities of televi
sion. They recommended that
viewings should be guided and
supervised.
The survey, as expected, show
ed high school boys preferred
sports events as programs. The
teachers were on the more in
structive side. They said they
recommended against murder
mysteries and above all the
western movies.

ADD FILM FABLES
Advisor Says Hollywood
Distorts Foreign Legion
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, April 21 VP) Lately I've found that technical ad
visors are more interesting than actors.
I hope the Screen Actors guild doesn't get mad at me for say
ing that, but I must confess it's true. You'll see what I mean
when I introduce you to the latest technical advisor I've met
Lt. Louis Van den Ecker.
He is a man with a rugged
face and a European accent (he's
a native of Alsace). He advises
on all kinds of historical pic
tures, from "The Life of Emil
Zola" to "Anna and the King of
Siam." But his specialty is the
French Foreign Legion. He was
a member of the legion from 1908
to 1915 and he says that it's not
quite the same as it is presented
in the movies.
"The films often show the le
gion as full of renegades and
criminals," he observed. "That
isn't true. If a criminal tried
to gain entrance into the legion,
he woludn't be "allowed in. Or
if he did get in, he would soon
be found out. Then he would be
dismissed, and two gendarmes
would be waiting to arrest him
outside the gate.
"The Foreign Legion gets most
of its men because of world con
ditions. They are mostly men
seeking escape for political rea
sons. By studying the national
ities in the legion over the years,
you can see the history of the
world. For instance, after the
Russian revolution, many Rus
sians joined. After Germany was
defeated in the first war, it was
the Germans.
Generally, the Germans make
up 64 percent of the legion.
There have been very few Brit
ish or Americans, despite what
you see in the movies. During
my time, I knew of only one
man from the Americas, and he
was an Argentine."
Van den Ecker often hears
from would-be actors who want
to get into Foreign Legion films.
They say they are Frenchmen
and have served in the legion.
He dismisses them immediately.
There are no Frenchmen in
the Foreign Legion," he explain
ed,. "although a few might get
in by claiming they are Swiss."
The technical adviser added
that he always objects when
film makers try to portray le
gion officers as sadistic.
"The 'legion is not run by
beatings," he said. "It is more
likely that a soldier would hit
an officer than vice versa. The
oficers do not gain obedience by
their fists, but by engendering a
camaraderie. I try to have fight
scenes in which the soldier and
officer take off their uniforms
and settle their differences on
an even bases."
Van den Ecker has been ad
viser on 70 films, from the orig
inal "Beau Geste" to the recent
"Abbott and Costello in the For
eign Legion." ("About all I did
on that one was show the sol
diers how to line up," he ad
mitted. "They weren't too in
terested in accuracy.") I asked
him why the movies have dwelt
so much on the legion.
"I guess because there seems
to be a lot of glamor about it,"
he opined. "And also there is
dramatic value in throwing so
many nationalities together."
He often hears from legion
naires who have criticisms of his
movies. One sharp-eyed observ
er complained that a film showed
troops riding two-humped cam
els, native to Asia.
"We tried to hide the other
hump," Van de Ecker explained.
we couldn't get enough drome
daries."
Group Watches
Defense Costs
Washington, April 21 VP) A
powerful new seven - man
"watchdog" subcommittee has
been set up to keep an eye on
the way the armed forces spend
their billions.
Chairman Vinson (D., Ga.),
of the house armed services com
mittee announced the move and
said the group will have author
ity to investigate all phases of
procurement by the army, navy.
air force and marines.
This subcommittee, headed by
Rep. Herbert (D., La.), is comp
arable to the Truman senate
committee of World War II days.
President Truman, then a sen
ator, headed that committee. It
made headlines checking into
military buying.
The new house subcommittee
has subpoena powers and the au
thority to put witnesses under
oath. An investigation staff
headed by John J. Courtney, at
torney formerly with the de
partment of justice, will aid in
its work.
Herbert said the subcommit
tee's main objective will be to
"keep the horse in the stable"
rather than investigating after
something has gone wrong. Her
bert declined to discuss, ahead
of the organization meeting,
what inquiries will be tackled
first.
