Democratic Senators
Push T-H Act Revise
Washington, Apr. 29 (U.R)
Senate laoor committee demo
crats were mobilizing today for
their first major effort at a
piecemeal" revision of the Taft
Hartley act.
Committee members rallied
around a subcommittee report
recommending legalization of
union operated hiring halls m
the maritime industry.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey
(D., Minn.) said that "we hope
to get action on a bill this year.
But he was not optimistic.
The move represents the first
serious attempt by a group of
administration democrats to
amend a part of the Taft-Hartley
act. Up to this point, they have
insisted that the whole measure
be scrapped in favor of a re
vised Wagner law put in Its
place.

IIMIMMIMIIItllMlltHi,,,),!
Recently I referred to the
New York Infirmary, which is
a hospital staffed entirely by
feminine physicians and tur
geons. I wondered if its staff
had any beautiful red-haired
doctors. I further stated I had
heard of beautiful red-haired
doctors but had never seen one.
Well, anyway, I have been in
vited to have luncheon at the
Hospitality Shop of the New
York Infirmary where I will be
offered an opportunity to meet
not only all the red-haired doc
tors but all the red-haired
nurses!
Best Singer
"You report that In the yester-year
in Florida there was
held a singing contest between
a nightingale and a mocking
bird," writes a Brooklynite.
"And that the mocking bird was
declared the winner. No doubt
it was a just decision. However,
a starling is a better and more
versatile singer than a mocking
bird. A starling can imitate
twenty-eight different bird calls
and often goes straight through
its repertoire just for the fun
of it."
Pleas Not.,
Am asked what film actress
was scalded by a hotel shower
bath and won a damage suit as
a result. That was Juanita Han
sen. Happened some years ago.
Juanita turned the handle
marked cold and the shower
bath poured forth scalding hot
water. She was seriously in
jured and was awarded a large
sum as damages. Believe it was
around 5100,000.
Asking
Queries from Clients: Q
Were you really born in Brook
lyn or it that a gag? A. I was
born in New York City. My fam
ily moved t6V Brookly when I
was 7 years old. I am a graduate
of Public School No. 2 and Com
mercial High School. Brooklyn.
Q. Has there ever been a four
horse dead heat in this country?
A. No, sir, but there was one
in England many years ago in
a five-horse race. I am away
from my records so cannot give
you the details of this finish
now. Will do so later.
Asides
Do you claim to have a good
memory as to films of the yes
teryear? Deanna Durbjn was one
of the trio of actresses playing
the title role in "Three Smart
Girls." Who were the other two?
And what three actresses played
in the film "Sally, Irene and
Mary '? . . . Ever hear of a drink
called a "Tamais Blush"? It is
popular in Jamaica and is said to
be extremely potent, consisting
of rum, Cointreau, vodka and
bitters.
Sidelights
Somehow or other I missed
seeing the film "All the King's
Men" until last night. It is a
marvelous picture on the sub
ject of politics, but not in my
opinion as good as "The Great
McGinty" in which Brian Don
levy was featured some years
agon. . . . There are fourteen
towns and cities in the U. S. A.
named Brooklyn. There were
fifteen, but in 1922 the name of
Brooklyn, Fla., was changed to
Keystone Heights. The popula
tion of Keystone Heights is one
hundred and seven.

accord with this description.
Every year a number of horses
are injured or killed in this race.
Veterinarians are posted at the
principal jumps, prepared to
humanely destroy" injured
horses. This year, forty-nine
horses started in the Grand Na
tional. Only seven finished. The
horses that broke their legs
were, of course, "humanely de
stroyed." Yes, sir, the Grand Na
tional is truly a barbaric event.
It is almost as bad as a bull
fight in so far as cruelty to ani
mals is concerned.
Briefly
Why do the British adhere to
the ancient "stone" system when
mentioning weights? They say,
for example, that a certain
woman weights "eight ston e
four pounds." Why not get to
the point quickly and say 116
pounds? . . . Australian men
are said to prefer tall and gen
erously proportioned girls rath
er than cute little tricks. May
be something to this. I see that
the current "Miss Australia" is
a honey blonde weighing 130
pounds. Her height is 5 feet 6
inches. Hips, 33 inches. Waist, 24
inches.
Oregon Road Needs
Listed $50,
Year by Committee
La Grande, Ore., Apr. 29
(U.R) The state interim high
way committee believes Oregon's
highway needs will cost 550,000,
000 a year for the next 15 years.
Sen. Paul Patterson, Hills
toro, listed state revenues for
highway use at a current an
nual level of S40.000.000, with
another S3.000.000 received an
nually from the federal gov
ernment. "That leaves us about ST, 000,
000 short if we are to continue
the highway program during the
next 15 years, according to pres
ent known needs," Patterson
said.
Making Up Deficit
Patterson said the committee
planned to make its recommen
dations to the legislature on
means of making up the deficit
this fall after a major meeting
in Portland.
He said the committee's tour
of the state indicated some areas
were "badly in need of more
funds, while others have been
less damaged by winter condi
tions." The committee in its meeting
here was headed by Chairman
Ralph Moore, Coos Bay, and in
cluded Rep. Max M. Landon,
Sweet Home, Rep. Edward
Geary, Klamath Falls, and Ar
thur F. Harvey, Salem, public
utilities commission representative.

College Graduates
In State To Find
Job Finding Tough
Salem, Ore., Apr. 29 (U.R)
The record number of college
graduates in Oregon this year
will find the competition for jobs
stiffer than at any time since be
fore the last World War, the
state unemployment compensa
tion commission predicted today.
The commission said it is mak
ing extensive plans to register
students and to list suitable Job
openings through its 29 local em
ployment offices.
Nearly 6,000 young men and
women will be graduated from
Oregon's 17 institutions of higher
learning in the next few weeks,
the commission noted. And prob
ably half of them will be active
ly seeking work, a survey just
completed by the Multnomah
county veterans' committee indi
cated. Students Lin Up
The committee is cooperating
with the state employment serv
ice in the campaign for job open
ings. Many students have lined,
up their future activity but the
proportion of those hired in ad
vance is materially below recent
years.
Earl Lovell. state director of
the employment service, said:
"As a clearing house for em
ployers adding to their forces
and for thousands of workers
just entering the labor market,
the employment service hopes
to broaden its area of useful
ness." Advance registration of gradu
ating students still unplaced is
