...leaders will be willing to settle for some rises in some plants. Judging by their past records, they will not. Labor leaders, who are a highly competitive lot, insist that wage rises be industry-wide and, in the long run, industries-wide. It is significant that this week Reuther, Phil Murray, the boss of C.I.O. and of the steel workers, and the bosses of the electrical workers sat down together in Pittsburgh to plan a common strategy and a united attack...
...most puerile movies ever to mesmerize a squirming audience. Newly blonde Vivian Blaine, Adler-elevated Perry Como, and hat-heavy Carmen Miranda stumble through ninety confused minutes of political campaigns and corny musical numbers untempered by the inclusion of Harry James' fine trumpet and the funny gags of Phil Silvers. "If I'm Lucky" is a sleepy picture that certainly does not deserve its feature spot on the program...
...would speak to them at U.M.W.'s massive headquarters (once the University Club) on 18th Street. The meeting was in the basement auditorium, the walls of which are covered with Lewis cartoons. There, in a brutal "trial," Lewis had booted out of his union a quavering and tragic Phil Murray, until then Lewis' steadfast friend. Now Lewis had no friends around him, only sycophants.

It is an afternoon in early summer. . . . Eve, preparing the evening meal . . . looks up eagerly as her husband...
...Stars. U.C.L.A., which romped past little Montana last week, has only to beat neighboring U.S.C. for a ticket to the Rose Bowl. Its most touted player, serious, studious Burr Baldwin, perhaps the best end in the country, is so good that he has an ex-All-American (Phil Tinsley, formerly of Georgia Tech) as an understudy. Coach Bert LaBrucherie, who coached crack teams at Los Angeles High School for 16 years before he got his big chance with the Bruins last year, feels that ex-G.I.s will not swallow the old get-out-there-&-fight-for-dear-old-Siwash...
