FILED BfFIDLEH
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 1 (UP)
A printed statement branding
Jimmy Fldler, movie columnist
and radio commentator, as
"Hollywood's Lord Haw Haw"
today led Fidler to file 1.
000,000 damage suit against a
film trade publication.
The ault was directed against
h "Hollywood Reporter," lis
publisher, W. ft. Wllkerson, and
..several writers for the trade
1 Journal.
Fldler said he was branded
"Hollywood's Lord Haw Haw"
at the tune of his appearance
before a congressional commit
tee investigating movie propa
ganda.: The complaint also charged
that the publication ridiculed
Fldler by dcclarlna ha won "
knothole for a monocle," false
ly accused him of "selling things
which do not belong to him"
and generally defaming his
nam and reputation.
' The suit broueht hv Fldl.r
against the trad paper was but
on oi me consequences of his
testimony before the senate
committee. Shortly after he re
turned from Washington and his
appearance before the commit
tee. Fidler became involvrri In

War Events Top fear's News
In Oregon's 7947 Stories
The war and events lead
ing up to It hold top spot
In Oregon's 1041 new as
it did throughout the country.
The "big story" of the year was
an accumulation of stories, largo
and small, reflecting Oregon's
part In the war effort,
From tho year's start to its
close, the domlnont news was
of industry and agriculture unit
ing for defense.
Northeastern Oregon had two
big stories: Construction of the
Umatilla ammunition depot and
the building of the Pendleton olr
base into an Important arm of
the air force.
The ammunition depot gave
rise to tthe biggest boom-town
development Oregon has known
for many years as some 7000
workers tried to crowd into the
village of Hermlston.
Pendleton felt a direct Impact
of the air base expansion
through crowded schools and
need for increased housing and
other facilities. '
Throughout much of the year
Mcdford and Corvolils were kept
in a state of expectancy over re
ports of projected army canton
ments In those areas. The plans
were drawn and, at the year's
close, were ready to be put Into
execution the moment word
came from Washington.
Portland's story was one of
army air base development and
of industrial expansion. The
Portland chamber of commerce
estimated that $250,000,000 was
expended in the city's trade area
In 1841 for defense purposes.
Tho Oregon Shipbuilding cor
poration with a $12,000,000
plant and contracts for $88,300,
000 worth of freighters, topped
the list, but the Aluminum In
dustry was a close second.
The Troutdale and Falrvlew
aluminum plants, now under
construction, contribute heavily
to the total some $32,000,000
for the two.
Metal working plants In Port
land received contract direct
ly resulting from the war which
totaled around $13,000,000.
And while these Industries
were prospering, lumbering took
a bad fall late In the autumn.
Priorities placed restrictions on
non-essential building with the
result that lumber orders fell
off rapidly, mills went on short
ened shifts and hundreds of mill
and woods workers were laid
off. Near the close of the year
the picture brightened somewhat.
Agriculture In western Ore
gon, particularly, sunffered a
heavy blow through shortage of
workers. With the army and de
fense Industrie claiming thous
ands throughout the state, hop,
vegetable and fruit growers were
hard put to harvest their crops.
In some areas big percentage
spoiled in the fields. .
Wheat formers had a different
story to tell. A bumper crop
eaught the market at its highest
point in years and money Jingled
freely in eastern Oregon, pockets.
It was one of the most profitable
years In a decade or more.
Japan's attack on Pearl Har
bor added to the Oregon story.
Scores of southern Oregon work
men were on mid-Pacific islands,.

Tho 17-pago complaint filed
by Attorney S. S. Halm on be
half of Fldler listed numerous
other allegedly "false and de
famatory" statements carried In
the trade paper.
Quotations from the publica
tion carried In the complaint
included:
"In no ship, save the Ark
of Hollywood Journalism, do
you find peeping toms in the
lookout's nest.
"The spectacle of Jlmmie
Fidler attempting to wear the
toga and the laurels of such
groat critics as G cor go Bernard
Shaw, William Archer or George
Jean Nathan makes It seem hlfh
time to post 'watch your hat
and coat' signs in the cafeteria
of literature."
Fldler complained that of
the greatest concern to him was
an article published under the
title of "An Open Nolo to Hol
lywood's Lord Haw Haw" which
appeared lost September.
By tacking that sppclntlon on
him. Fidler charged, the de
fendants "implied and Intended
the public should Infer that the
plaintiff was a traitor to his
country and his Industry."
Fidler asked $300,000 general
and special damages and $300,
000 punitive and exemplary
damages In addition to attorney
fee.

OBg New Year's Eve Held
In Largest City of U. S.
NEW YORK, Jn. 1 (UP)
The nation' largest city, letting
off steam unrestrainedly for per
haps the last time until the war
ends, celebrated Now Year' eve
last night with noisy hilarity.
Many thousands of celebrants
saw in the new year at restau
rant, hotels, and nightclubs
where they over-ate, over-drank,
and blew tin horns at prices
ranging from $2.80 per person
for: food and entertainment to
$20.
But . . . ,
Off the Atlantic coast, Just a
few miles from brightly lit Times
Square, army and navy planes
patrolled on constant alert
ganjst a possible approaching
enemy. , . I
Ten thousand air raid wardens
were on duty. . .
In the Times Square district
alone 1000 specially instructed
policemen mingled with the
throngs which traditionally Jam
the theatrical and fun-making
area on New Year' eve... .
Special loud speakers were
rigged to blare out a warning in
event of any approaching
danger. -
A survey of the bright spots
showed that in spite of possible
blackouts,' tax-depleted wallets
and rising prices, the city hailed
1842 in a style that compared
favorably with 1941, the peak
of the last 10 years. -
At the bottom price of $2.80
New Yorkers got a "de luxe"
supper (drinks extra at SO cents
per), dancing, favors and a floor
how of sorts.
More costly $7.50-1 0-1 5-20
) were the food, favors and enter
tainment (also the drinks) in the
better known night clubs, awank
restaurants and hotels, where
name performers and bands
were on display In the shows,
Night club proprietors, In an
effort to snare customers In
what hd earlier In the week
threatened to be a slump year,
enhanced their offerings with a
variety of novelties, some de
signed to add to the merriment,
others to take the curse off too
enthusiastic celebrating.
One cafo Insisted that guests
rlso after every third cocktail.
This was calculated to remind
Imbibers of their progress to
ward unconsciousness and pos
sibly restrain them.
Another Installed a barber-
customers who got disheveled as
the evening wore on and who,
unhappily, had to be some place
Thursday morning, availed them
selves of his service.
With a nice feeling for the
safety of Its patrons, one res
taurant provided chauffeurs to
drive private automobiles of
guests in no condition to drive
their own.
Drinkers who were seized
with a fit of long distance tele
phoning of New Year's greet
ings to distant friends mado use
of a dozen extra telephone
booths installed by a thoughtful
bar proprietor.
At another bar the guests'
Now Year's resolutions, written
out carefully, were collected by
an- entertainer and burned at
midnight.
One bartender presented each
guest with an Ice pack. A restau
rant preserved Its custom of hav
ing an old fashioned milk wagon,
horso and driver outside . Its
door. Knch patron was given a
bottlo of milk on leaving. .-
From Madford Mr. and Mrs.
N. H. Jones arrived here Wed'
