Today's Roundup
BY MALCOLM EPLEY
WE are doubtful whether there was much
cheering in Oregon when its Junior
senator, Wayne Morse, accused the president
of "ham acting' in announc
ing the end of the railroad
strike while speaking to con
gress on the labor crisis.
The inside facts as to
whether Mr. Truman knew,
when he started to speak,
that the strike end impended,
are not available to us. But
if he did, his announcement in
the course of the message was
no more than dramatic show
manship, something Senator
Morse understands well. EPLEY
There was nothing in the situation that
Justified an attack on the president .of the
United States that was plainly in poor taste.
Whether the president be democrat or republi
can, that would be the opinion of this particular
Orcgonian, who supported and voted for Wayne
Morse in republican primaries and the general
election of 1944.
Opportunity
SEVERAL months ago, we commented here
on the remarkable opportunity which lay
at the door of Senator Morse to exert the
leadership that would show the way out of the
critical labor crisis that has had the country
by the heels since V-J Day.
We had, and still have, faith in the Oregon
senator's ability to do this badly needed job.
He has the experience, the public's ear, the
following in both sides and among middle
grounders, to take the helm of a program
designed to end the' confusion for the good
of the American people as a whole.
- The time was ripe when we first mentioned
it. It has gotten riper. It is a big challenge
whether Senator Morse essays to attempt it
will show whether he is a big man.
' There is need for a big man but not a man
who is too big for his breeches.
Confidence
THE confidence we have expressed here in
Senator Morse's ability to do this job is
Tather-widely held, we are sure. It is held
well beyond the limits of Oregon. In a rela
tively short space of time, he has become a
national figure.
. And what an opportunity for a senator
schooled in labor procedures and in labor prob
lems, who is regarded as liberal enough to
receive labor support for the senate, yet also
won in the republican primaries where labor's
vote was at the time of that election a second
ary factor.
Everybody slips once in a while. We want
to think that the Oregon senator's comment in
the senate yesterday was the product of a
momentary impulse, and not indicative of the
true depth of the man. There are so many
bigger things to be done than to make wise
cracks at the president of the United States.

Little Denmark produces one
commodity besides its well
known output of butter, eggs and
bacon in which it outranks all
the rest of the world lumped to
gether. That is women film di
rectors. The leader in this field is Mrs.
Alice O'Fredericks, a former
actress who has ridden herd on
52 pictures, far more than any
other woman in cinema history.
A vivacious butter blonde with
blue eyes that look as if freshly
dipped in the Mediterranean,
Mrs. O'Fredericks yearns for the
monetary freedom of her Holly
wood colleagues. Just once she
would like a limitless treasury
in which to dip her hands and
produce a Danish film on the
lavish scale typical of American
movies.
$40,000 Tops
"In Hollywood a million dollar
budget is nothing," she sighed,
"but here the most expensive pic
ture ever made in Denmark cost
only $40,000."
Once a Hollywood talent scout

production and asked how many

the revolutions has been impossible to attain.
Indeed, the people have been so successfully
confused that any comment which did not
accept the Russian viewpoint was considered
"fascisllc" by large numbers. But now that
Russia is openly trying to promote a counter
revolution through French military action, by
agitation in UNO and by goading the United
States on its policy, a search for the facts has
been set In motion by various authorities, with
results which have not received general circu
lation, namely these following:
A foremost American military authority, in
a report widely distributed among American
. months M !W
....year $8.00
officers, has concluded communists built up the
unsound deceptive propaganda in Spain. The
last Spanish election was 10 years ago, and in
that balloting, the left parties, which included
syndicalists, anarchists, communists and sev
eral varieties of republicans received slightly
less than 50 per cent of the vote. But by
backing a single candidate in each parlia
mentary district, they won a majority of 78
votes in the parliament. The right wing, in
cluding republicans, monarchists, agrarians and
others did not unite on candidates, but com
peted with each other and lost the parliament,
although their combined popular vote was
minutely a majority,
President Ousted
THE leftwing government then ousted the
president and moved to pass a law to
seize landholdings legally, but the communists
did not await the law, seized estates and church
lands, murdering the few of the landlords who
did not escape and a large number of the
religious. The left government deplored this,
but did nothing to stop it, so the army decided
to take action. A majority of the army was
politically active and rightist, and started a
counter revolution. Their leader was killed in
opening engagements and Franco, the second
senior general who had been in the Canary
islands, took over.
In the bitter civil war following. Russia
contributed a few combat units but not from
the red army, munitions supplies and a head
quarters combat unit in which Russian officers
served in terms generally for six months com
bat' experience, but never fraternizing with
the Spaniards. The nazis used the war as a
proving ground for tactics, and there developed
the ultimate use of the plane and tank with
ground forces, which was their basic maneuver
of World War II.
With Franco the ultimate victor, the Spanish
communists, anarchists, syndicalists and re
publicans fled mostly to France, where more
than 100.000 were in concentration camps when
World War II broke out. Many fought in the
French army, but probably more later in the
French underground. As such they had much
influence upon the present French government.
When Franco caught and executed some of
their number in Spain in February, they in
stituted the closing of the border and the mov
ing of French army units threateningly up to it.
So much for mis-read history. The political
facts are more difficult to assay. One Ameri
can socialist magazine is trying to raise funds
. to promote civil war, on the ground that Span
ish labor is socialist and has appealed for help,
but another socialist magazine here sees the
current agitation as a Soviet scheme purely.
The head of the movement to raise funds is
an avowed member of the communist party,
it charges, and it characterizes the whole left
Spanish movement as "the most hypocritical,
vulgar and corrupt of any front group ever
launched by the Comintern." Its writer on the
subject charges that Stalin sabotaged the old
left government of 10 years ago by promoting
a purge in the midst of the battle against
Franco. Otherwise, it claims, Spain would
not have been lost to fascism.
Whatever are the ultimate facts of this poli
tics, the facts we already have are enough to
show the problem of Spain today is not simply
a question of ousting Franco and restoring
democracy, such as Poland has presented to
UNO. The basic greater truth of the whole
matter is there are too few real democrats and
republicans in Spain to hope for restoration
of our . way of life there, or creation of a
government friendly to our ideals, anytime
soon, no matter what we do.
people were employed on the set.
"Twenty," he was told.
"Good lord," he said incredu
lously, "only 20? Why in Holly
wood we have 200 studio police
men on the sets."
Mrs. O'Fredericks started in
films 25 years ago as a script girl,
then successively became film
cutter, leading lady and director.
"After acting in six films I
decided it was more fun to stay
behind the camera and give or
ders," she said.
"The only difference between
our pictures and those in Amer
ica is moneyour scripts are just
as good. Oh, if I only had money
to buy sets and hire actors.
Only Simple Pictures
"We can make only simple
pictures of few people and how
they feel the tragedy in their
hearts
"I direct, cut and help in the
making of costumes and sets. I
don't photograph myself but I
know how it must be done. You
have to be all around to direct
a film in Denmark."
Co-director with her at present
is her longtime friend and script
writer, Miss Grete Frische. Miss
Frische is a remarkable woman.
She told me that once while re
cuperating from a long, nervous
ordeal at a typewriter she and
her mother took a vacation to
gether and made a pact neither
would speak for eight days. Both
women lived up to the pact, she
said.

One reason films can be pro
duced cheaply here is that stars
can be engaged for considerably
less than the war debt. They
don't earn as much as a good
racehorse does in America.
"Our pictures take about two
months to make and the most
ever paid to a Danish actor for
one picture was $4000," she said.
Miss Frische thinks American
films are popular in Denmark
chiefly because Danes "have the
same sense of humor. One of
your crazy comedies will go over
well here. But in Sweden they
don't care for it. They don't like
to laugh as well."

Fishing season is officially

point I've been sitting and
watching them all this weekend
as they sail up the river, light,
and drift down again. They look
not unlike a fleet of navy Grum
mans coming in to a carrier as
they set their wings for the last
riffle and sit down in almost per
fect formation. Then they drift
along down the river, fishing as
they go, only to fly up and start
it all over again when they pass
the last riffle back of the

watching.
Soldier Admits
Stealing Plane
SEATTLE, May 28 ( Ar
thur Walter Buttkus, 17, soldier
stationed at Fort Lewis, has
been arrested- on aji open charge,
and has admitted faking part in
tne melt ot an airplane early
Friday from the Snohomish air
port, Police Chief Charles
Adams of Snohomish said last
night.
Buttkus and another soldier
took the plane at the other's sug
gestion, the youthful serviceman
told Adams. The police chief
said Buttkus told him the pair
became lost and the plane
crashed after running out of
fuel.
Adams reported Buttkus said
the other soldier was a student
pilot.
The officer quoted Buttkus as
saying "A wing hit the ground.
When I woke up I was hanging
upside down and bleeding. We
crawled out and walked to a
farmhouse and asked which way
it was to Seattle."
He said the two separated at
Monroe, Wash., and Buttkus
went to Seattle, where he was
picked up by police for being
out of uniform.

TULKLAKK, Ciillf.. (To the
Ktlltor) Coiignituliillniis on the
two full'PUKo nils In Weiliii'atluy's
paper; they should he fnuiicd
us the edition of comics tor the
year.
During this thy spring I could
havtt gone out Into my field and
shouted lo the sky what I
thought of It for not bringing the
usual showers lo start things off
and anyone passing would have
said, "you poor assKlfd uspect
of atrophied ignorance, you hitvti
the finest sort of Irrigation sys
tems, open that headgatn and
start producing "
Production is what It takes In
stead of these specious argu
ment shouted by each side.
In his heart eneli knows thorn
words lire to convince himself,
while shouting to the sky, that
he still has good sense. .
All Industry lias fine systems
analogous to Irrigation, but these
fellows would rather slnnd
around the headgate and pre.
tend they are convincing each
other the gate shouldn't be
raised.
Yours for more laughs.
