...above isn't true, then we are fighting for something that in the last analysis isn't worth saving. When an elected person feels that his election is a way of assuring himself of an income for life, I doubt that he will be any more ready to serve the people than the man who goes to the electorate and asks them to reelect him on the things he has accomplished, albeit small...
...Nelson's last point was the oldest, toughest nut-subcontracting-and he saved his toughest talk for it. "There isn't a single big producer who can't do more than he is doing now if he subcontracts," he cried. "Industry has been lazy on this whole subject. . . ." Despite some Washington bright ideas, Don Nelson swore the subcontracting nut would have to be cracked by industry itself. The man who cracks it will be the MacArthur of the home front...
...Savoy Cafe out on Columbus Avenue, where most of the Ellington menage repaired almost every night after their last show. There Frankie Newton's seven-piece colored band holds forth these winter nights before an enthusiastic mixed audience which doesn't miss the little dance floor that isn't there.

Miss Chaney...
...Bahama Passage" is a rough trip at best. We understand Stirling Hayden recently resigned from the movies. This picture explains why. It isn't just that he can't act; Hollywood is filled with handsome fellows who drag down nice salaries despite that minor disability. Hayden, in addition, has a voice like a fog-horn and--what's worse--is so pretty he detracts from the allure of Madeleine Carroll, who is growing kind of fat herself. The story involves a colony of Negroes living on a subtropical island who, we couldn't figure out exactly why, can't subsist...
