By HUBBARD HEAVY
(For ROB Thomas)
HOLLYWOOD IT Here we arc
again, Edward G. Robinson and I,
where we started 25 years ago. He
is playing a gangster and I am
writing about glamor, gangsters
and girls.
"This is some coincidence, ek?"
said Edward G. "We've been here
about the same number of years
and here you are, temporarily back
on your old beat while I am tem
porarily back to my old racket 1
mean, line.
Kdward G. says he feels the
same as he did so many years
ago and I assure him I am as spry
as when I began this dodge. But
we look at each other a little crit
ically, and he sees my hair is thin
ner and I see his is too. But I
am not wearing a scalp doily be
cause no one cares how I look
except my wife and she is getting
used to me.
I well remember the filming of
"Little Caesar," in 1929 (it was
released in '30) because it was one

of the most exciting sets lo visit.
Edward G. played the role of the
hilt and was a pleasure to watch;
and a set where there's gunfire
always is interesting. That gang
ster film set the pace, made Ed
ward G. a star and, for its pro
ducers, millions. But, being re
released now, in company with
J931's "Public Enemy," it will
make even more millions than it
aia originally.
Robinson tried to analyze the
success of "Little Caesar."
"That guy wanted to get ahead
and he did it in his way." he said.
"We all want to get ahead. Even
though we despise his methods,
we secretly applaud his desires.
There's a little of Little Caesar in
all of us the urge to be big shots."
This reunion of small signifi
cance has to be interrupted fre
quently by a director's demands.
Robinson gets paid ($60,000 per
picture, I hear) for acting so he
must go into his leer and talk out
of the side of his mouth on order.
In this one, called "Black Tues
day," he is a gangster about to
die in the chair. He escapes and
continues his killings. It is brutal
stuff.

Huge Dam in India
Takes Much 'Know-how'
Bush Bean Harvest
At Lebanon Starts
LEBANON Wednesday, July
21, marks the opening of bush
bean picking and approximately
1,000 wrokers will be needed for
their harvest and the pole bean
picking which is expected to start
the following Monday.
At the peak of the bean sea
son expected on Aug. 1, there
' By EUGENE LEVIN
NANGAL TOWNSHIP. India Wi
lt takes know-how to build dams
the size of mammoth Bhakra. It
also takes patience and diplomacy.
This is the lesson being learned
by American and Indian engineers
tackling the Bhakra Dam, which
may rank as the world's highest
when completed in eight years. It
is part of the Nangal-Bhakra de
velopment project, on the Sutlej
River in the Himalaya foothills
225 miles north of New Delhi. Orig
inally it was designed to stand 680
feet high but additional excava
tions will add to the height.
India is paying the bill of 327
million dollars. American engi-
will be a need for 2,500 in fields
adjacent to Lebanon. This is due
to greatly increased acreages
planted this season.
By the end of this week, 400
caneberry pickers will be har
vesting the blackcap and boysen
berry crop. Blackcap picking
started in the Lacomb section
Monday.
Bulk of the harvest hands are
expected to be recruited from un
employed woods workers now out
on strike. . '
neers are under direct coniracis
in no way connected with the U.S.
economic aid to jndia. Their lead
er is Harvey Slocum of Alhambra,
Calif., veteran construction boss at
such big U.S. dams as Shasta and
Grand Coulee. Between 30 and 45
Americans have been working here
at various times.
In their advisory capacity, the
Americans often have found them
selves in the r tual role of super
visors. The I idians were nominal
ly in charge, but the more ex
perienced Americans were able to
assert considerable influence.
Slocum and most of the Ameri
cans have managed to maintain
good relations with their Indian
fellow workers. Where their advice
has not been accepted, they have
taken the view that Bhakra, after
all, is an Indian project.
Bhakra Dam has been an Indian
dream for 40 years. Almost all the
preparatory work is finished, and
efore the end of this year construc
tion of the dam itself will start.
Slocum describes it as possibly the
most difficult dam ever undertak
en, because of the remoteness of
the. site, the area's geological
tructure and the lack of sufficient
trained personnel to supervise a
73,000-man work force. .
