Griffin today made the following appeal to residents of Al- {aska in a letter addressed to various |Mayors, Postmasters and other of- ficials throughout the Territory: “I am taking the liberty of writ- {ing you to solicit your cooperation iin the forthcoming Census of Un- employment and Partial Unemploy- ment which Congress has decreed “As you know, this census which 'is calculated to give a quick and |adequate picture of unemployment | conditions in the United States, will be conducted through the facilities :’ur the Post Office Department by | the distribution of blanks to all of 'the 31,000,000 American homes on November 16 and 17. The unem- ployed and partly unemployed are being asked to fill out those blanks |and return them to their local Post- masters by midnight of November 20, after which the Post Office rep- resentatives will conduct further checks so as to eliminate duplica- !tion. | “In view of the fact that it is necessary n order to avoid the Christmas rush in post offices, to have this census out of the way by December 1, we have been forced to appeal directly to the cities, in telegrams and letters directed to Mayors, asking the appointment of citizens committees to cooperate with the local Postmasters, parti- cularly in obtaining wide publicity in connection with the canvass and in the dissemination of information | as to plans and purposes. “I am sure you will agree that unemployment is one of our major | Inational problems.

Al Ritz is the oldest and he came in ahead of Ls; brothers, Jimmy and Harry, and acted as spokesman. My first question was to ask if they are really brothers; for in Holly- wood I have found that brothers on the screen do not have to be real brothers, just as many of the names used by the stars are not their real names Yes, They're Brothers He told me they really are bro- thers. I then wanted to know how they started their brother act, and he explained he was in vaude- ville on his own while the two younger brothers were still in school and, when they finished their stu- dies, they joined him and they had been the Ritz Brothers ever since. Al told me they got their idea of | wearing straw hats and wide white pants from a comic strip. { Harry Ritz is the brother who does the specialties. Any one who has seen the Ritz Brothers in pictures will remember one of them! always does specialty of some kind. That is Harry As -they were dressing in foot- ball suits, I asked Harry if they were crazy off the screen as well as on. He said ually, “Just on the screen,’ and then, seeming come to life, he turned viciously and yelled, “Want to make some- thing of loud enough to be heard by their neighbors, they are far aw: I Can Take a Joke Of course I said I did not want to make anything of it and was a little alarmed—until he laughed, and I realized this w Just another gag of these wild brothers. After being with them a while I became accustomed to their gqueer and was not alarmed even they made faces at me in a body. In another room of their bunga- low a friend of the brothers was pounding a piano, and singing in Spanish, I think. Anyway it was a foreign tongue and very loud to antics ! when | by this time, I would have run aw As the music came from the recor the brothers made queer motions they do on the screen. It sounded like quite a picture. As I left the Ritz brothers were being photographed in their foot- ball suits in_a tangle of feet and legs with cleats on their faces. Jimmy complained, “You don't have the other stars kick each other in the facee. You don't have Loretta Young and Don Ameche kicking each other in the face.
