We are rather apt to look upon the obstacles to our victories as bigger
than they are. Fear makes giants where none exist. The giants, the
sons of Anak.—Numbers 13:22.
Just Like All Americans
■MEVER in our history have so many top labor leaders
thrown all their weight behind a presidential nominee
as in 1952.
The CIO endorsed Governor Stevenson and so did many
of its individual union chieftains. The AFL jumped in on
the same side, a move it had made only once before when
Senator Robert M. LaFollette, the old Wisconsin Progressive,
was a candidate in 1924. John L. Lewis joined the parade,
though he is generally viewed as having Republican leanings.
Yet when the votes were counted, it was thoroughly
clear that the rank and file of labor had not followed their
leaders’ advice in anything like the expected numbers. Ste-
venson’s majorities in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston,
Pittsburgh and many other normally Democratic strong-
hold fell ’way short of past marks.
EVIDENTLY labor’s brass exerts no magic power over the
u average worker. This lesson had been demonstrated
resoundingly in Senator Taft’s 1950 re-election in Ohio, But,
although union leaders sought to avoid some of their old
mistakes this time, they still did not appear to take suffi-
ciently to heart one big part of that lesson:
A working man is just like any other American. He has
the same hopes and fears. He is a consumer, a father, he
rears children who may live to be drafted, he pays taxes, he
can be outraged by immorality. He is more than just an
appendage to a union button.
By the millions workers voted this time for Eisenhower
because they saw in him some hope of getting rid of a jmr-
tion, at least, of our vexing national and world problems.
They plainly felt the Democratic appeal was narrow and
perhaps a bit stale. They turned au'ay from the certainty
of Democratic rule; but they’re not sure what will come, not
sure if their hopes will now be fulfilled.

----uu tne
cutting room floor" usually Is a Hol-
lywood tragedy. It had another twist
for Anitra Stevens. It boomranged
to give her her big break.
Anitra, a cute chick not long out
of Hollywood high, where she was
known as Ann Stuart, has a fat part
In "The Jazz Singer," all because
she is not in “The Story of Will
Rogers.”
Michael Curtiz Is the director of
both those Warner Brothers pic-
tures. Anitra had a role in "Rogers”
that was highly regarded by Curtiz.
Her work looked good going into the
camera. When it came time to trim
the picture to a length acceptable
to the exhibitors, Anitra disappear-
ed.
Curtiz not only shared her disap-
pointment but was anxious to make
amends. When he took up direction
of “The Jazz Singer" he scanned the
script studiously for a supporting
role in which Anitra could be im-
pressively presented.
The part of "Yvonne, a brunette
showgirl with a cutting tongue," was
Just the ticket.
The part was made scissor-proof,
or at least cutter-resistant, so that
no matter how much trimming is
done on the picture Anitra’s bound
to stay in.
“The Jazz Singer” is the third
Warner picture for Anitra. The oth-
ers, in which she played decorative
but inconsequential bits, were “April
in Paris” and “The Big Trees.”
Anitra had decided to be an ac-
tress even before she entered grade
school in her native Detroit. She
thinks she inherited a taste for
show business, because her father
was a circus and carnival man be-
fore he switched to the relatively
prosaic occupation of salesman.

Look and Learn
AS one working nuin put it: “I voted for Ike because I was
sick of the mess in Washington. Now I feel like a man
in a parachute. I’ve taken the leap but I don’t know where
I'm going to land. I'm waiting lor Mr. Eisenhower to
show me.”
It is characteristic of average citizens in the whole west-
ern world today that they do not give political parties great
leisure to provide Solutions. They want action. If they are
not “shown,” they will speedily turn elsewhere.
That could happen in 1956 if the American working man
is not satisfied with what Eisenhower and the Republicans
have done. But if he switches back, it will be because he
sees once more in the opposition party the best hope that
all his broad needs will lit1 met. It will not be because the
Democrats promise to pass a good labor law.
rl lie greatest argument against hunting for an argument
is losing it right afterward.
Anyway, we didn't hear of any woman candidate claiming
she was one of the plain people.
THE STORY: A1 Keminrr, owner
of High Hill Lodge, moved a mur-
dered man's body to protect the
reputation of his vacation resort.
Then someone blackmails Al, who
decides to pay part of the $6,500 de-
manded and says he can't raise the
rest. However. Al and his athletic
director, Dan Morrison, are pre-
vented from doing so when they
meet Sergeant Healey of the state
police at the rendezvous with the
blackmailer. Early the next morn-
ing Chris Witmer, odd-job man at
the resort, awakens Morrison and
leads him to the office where Al
and Eddie Fields, an entertainer,
hate been attacked with an ax. Al
dies at the hospital, but Eddie sur-

"Okay, you're the expert.”
"Look, don't think I never in-
vestigated a murder. I only said
I never Investigated one in the
Poconos.”

/CORPORAL DILLON came out cf
the office and motioned Healey
over. He spoke a few quiet words.
“Sure." Healey said loudly. He start-
ed for the front door. "Morrison,
you come with me," he blustered.
I followed him out to the front
steps. Three tioopers came piling
over.
"This is very important,” Healey
said sternly. "I want It done right.

IfEAIJCY introduced the new*
A* comer to me: Corporal Dil-
lon, criminal identification expert,
from the State Police squadron
headquarters at Wyoming, Pa. Dil-
lon, a dark, stocky man with pro-
fessional silver-rimmed specs, im-
mediately started setting up a
tripod camera at the office door.
Healey took me out to the mail
cage to get out of the way. We sat
down on the counter. There was
only a dim light there. It was al-
most peaceful, for the moment.
"Well, comq on, give me some-
thing. Who was sore at these
guys?"
Who was sore at these guys? It
was no secret that Roslyn was sore
at. Al for underpaying Eddie. And
Kitty Lane undoubtedly was burned
up at Al’s sudden interest in Midge
Burnett—maybe he'd even dropped
Kitty a hint of what he'd told me,
that he was trying to palm her off
on somebody. The fact that Eddie
had believed the attacker was a
man didn't rule the girls out; he
said he didn't see the killer. But I
was inclined to rule the girls out
anyway; even if they'd wanted to
bash Al, why would they have
slugged Eddie, too?"
There w'as another name I
couldn’t rule out so easily. "G. O.
Griscomb.” I said.
Healey cleared Ills throat wear-
ily. "Does that really make sense
to you, Morrison? Now-, does it?
Tills mail conies clear around from
the other side of the lake with
the Idea of killing Kemmer—but
does lie bring any weapon with
him? No. He Just takes a chance
he'll find something lying around,
like an ax or something.”
"He could have brought some-
thing with him and then changed
his mind when he noticed the ax."
"Sure he could have. He. could
have drunk carbolic acid and
squirted It out of both ears to
blind the two guys. But people
don't do things that way. If a
man plots out a murder with a
certain weapon, he's not going to
that’s just been washed and looks
suspicious, pick it up. Morrison,
you have any paper bags around?”
"Right here." I stepped back in-
side the door.
"Okay, you'll keep each item
separate, with the name on the
bag. Take the cabins one by one
—split up and go through every
room. Do It quiet as you can—
don't give anybody any more no-
tice than necessary. Morrison'll go
along so nobody'll stand on their
constitutional rights.”
Nobody seemed to mind being
investigated at 5 o’clock in the
morning. The guests all seemed
to think this was the moat excit-
ing thing they'd been In since V-J
day on Times Square.
Word got around what we were
looking for. We began to find
more and more wet things—shorts,
blouses, swim suits. Trooi^ers be-
gan to hurt girls' feelings by not
accepting every damp offering.
Leo Ritchie wasn't home. I ques-
tioned the men in the adjoining
rooms. They said the last they'd
seen him was at the maintenance
building while we were carrying Al
and Eddie out. I'd noticed him
there myself; he'd been something
of a help, too, keeping the people
from crowding.
In No. 10, the last cottage, I got
a real Jolt. Midge Burnett wasn't
there. Midge Burnett and Leo
Ritchie. Who told them they could
play silly tricks like this?
I walked back toward the office.
I was still burned up at those two
absentees. They didn't have any
business wandering around at 5
in the morning.
Ahead of me was Harmony
House, which, It struck me sud-
denly, the troopers had neglected
to inspect. Past It was Al Kem-
mer's bungalow.

knew. Then bedroom, bathroom.
I walked forward blindly.
I moved into the kitchen, hands
out In front of me. Oof! my knee
got it. I reached out—a chair. I
moved it. Had it been put there
deliberately?
There was movement in the bed-
room. Whispers. I reached for the
doorknob. The light went out—the
door yanked away from me—
Something blasted my jaw—I was
down flat on my back. Just that
last.
