A Nichol's Worth of . . .
Comment On This and That
By HARMAH W. NICHOLS
United Pratt) tutor. WriMr
(, Washington -4U.R) I walked
into what Laurence Vail Cole
man calls his "hovel" and there
he was. .
Human Nicholc
A distinguish
ed looking gen
tleman with
the eyebrows
of John L.
Lewis and the
hairdo of the
lovable Ernie
Pyle, meaning
no hair in the
middle and
poking out
each way
fringewise.
Coleman happens, by no acci
dent at all, to be director of the
American Association of Mu
Kums. A very important, non
profit organization which looks
around to see that the 500 mu
seums in the country get copies
of all of the dinosaur tracks
found around the sections of the
world. Not to mention a lot of
other things.
I had heard much about Lau
rence Coleman, and told him I
was happy and proud to greet
him. But I was a little shocked
to see the house he kept in the
dignified Smithsonian Institu
tion. It looked like a cross be
tween a country weekly office,
no stranger to me, and some
thing out of R. Goldberg. Hang
,ing overhead were the tired old,
flea-tested bones of something
"out of the Old West. A relic, the
. great man said.
Wall Organised Lititr
Papers and documents were
acattered yon and hither. I'm
a great man to worry ; about
those things, because I general
ly scatter them hither and yon,
too.
"Don't worry, man," said
Coleman, "My confusion is well
organized."
What the museum man want
ed to tell me was that during
this month the Museum Associa
tion is celebrating its 50th birth
day. Directors came in from all
over, leaders of art, history and
industrial museums in the Uni
ted States and Canada.
That's fine, and I learned that
the important work of museums
is nothing new to Coleman. He
was, as they say, born to it. He
was brought up in New York
City among the heirlooms" that
looked back across nine genera
tions. "My earliest recollections,"
said the dignified old gentleman,
033?
i i : There's nothing like VI
it for beautiful, smooth '
room decoration. Gorgeous
colors that dry in one hour,
make painting easy even if
you've never painted before!

"have to do with collecting bugs.
Want to see some of my dan
dies?" I had a look and indeed,
and for sure, they were dandies.
Author and Collector
Coleman went to public
schools in New York, then to
City College and did some grad
uate work in bugs and collection
at both Yale and Harvard.
Coleman said that collecting
things for museums is some
thing of an art. ,
"When you are looking for
something old," he said, "you
have to know where it can be
found 10 years before it can be.''
That sounded a little confus
ing to me, and I asked him about
it, but he said it was something
of a trade secret
Coleman has written a lot of
real serious books on museums.
Once he. visited 500 universities
and looked into their back
houses, to find things of interest
to students of the very old. He
had a lot of luck and turned
out three fat volumes, which
are on file at the Library of
Congress. Posterity will bene
fit. I asked Coleman if I could
meet his staff. We were all alone
at the time.
He said: "I would like to have
you meet my secretary, Bessy,
here."
"Bessy' turned out to be , a
1919 Royal typewriter, in pretty
fine shape for her age. His only
"staff."
Storage Reservoirs
To Lower Maximum
Stage of Columbia
Portland U.R); Army en
gineers said today that through
use of major power storage res
ervoirs the maximum stage of
the Columbia river at Vancou
ver, Wash., would be reduced
by about two feet and would
not exceed 20 feet this week end.
Col. L. H. Foote, North Pa
cific division engineer, said that'
damage at the 20-foot stage
would be nominal.
Reservoirs at Grand Coulee
on the Columbia and Hungry
Horse on the south fork of the
Flathead river have been storing
water throughout the seasonal
rise under supervision of the
water control branch of the
Corps of Engineers' division of
fice. No Effect en Flood Stage
- Col. Foote said McNary and
Bonneville dams, both of which
are run-of-the-river projects,
have no effect on flood stages
down river. The outlet gates at
these dams are operated only to
obtain proper head for power
production and no percentable
increase or decrease in river
elevations downstream results
from this operation.
Grand Coulee reservoir con
tributed about 1.5 feet to the
lower river stage reduction and
Hungry Horse about 0.5 feet.

UAW Will Press For Separate Pad With Body Makers
Milwaukee, Wis. (U.PJ A
CIO United Auto Workers dele
gation arrived today to press
talks for a new separate contract
at the Milwaukee body plant of
American Motors Corp.
The delegation adjourned talk
with the company in Detroiw
Wednesday after two days of
negotiations on a contract for
the majority of AMC's workers
in Michigan, California and Wis
consin. Expires Aug. 12
The majority of the workers
are covered by a master contract
which expires Aug. 12 but the
workers at the body plant are
covered by a separate contract
which expires July 1.
The union recessed its Detroit
talks until Tuesday after prom
ising to consider "all pertaining
economic facts" in negotiating a
new contract with American Mo
tors, the first of the auto indust
ry's "Little Three" to discuss a
new contract with the union this
year.
Leonard Woodcock, UAW vice
president in charge of the Amer
ican Motors Department, has
said the union would seek a
"full wage guarantee" from
AMC.
Union demands for a 100 per
cent wage guarantee for 52
weeks a year were reduced to
60 to 65 per cent of full pay for
26 weeks before Ford and GM
reached agreements with the
union.
Observers in Detroit said the
union may have presented its
demands to AMC negotiations
in a secret session before leaving
for the talks here. They reason
ed that this would give the com
pany time to study the union
demand while the negotiators
are working on the body plant
contract.
