MARITIME STRIKE PEAGE IS PRESSED McGrady Seeks Conference as Hiring Issue Comes to the Front. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, December 26.— Demands of union ships' officers for preference in hiring came to the front in the 59-day Pacific Coast maritime strike as Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady sought another peace conference here today. Mc@pady, tireless “trouble shooter” for the Labor Department, called upon the Coast Committee for Offshore Ship Owners and the Masters, Mates and Pilots’ Union to renew negotiations. ‘The union officers’ demand for pref- erence in employment, termed by Mc- Grady the “hardest nut to crack,” dis- rupted conferences some days ago. Union officials said they had placed in the hands of the Ship Owners’ Committee an explanation of what they meant by “preference,” but did Dot clarify the point publicly. Joseph Curran, head of the Strikers’ Strategy Committee at New York, an- nounced plans to picket the next session of Congress in protest against & provision of the Copeland act.

NEW YORK, December 26 —Judg- ing from a quick peek at the loot, Santa Claus went to town in swing- time on Broadway. The presents ranged all the way fromea coal scuttle for Helen Hayes to $120,000 worth of pictures for Ed- ward G. Robinson. ‘Well, perhaps the coal scuttle was not the bottom. Russell Crouse, au- thor of “Anything Goes” and the cur- rent hit musical, “Red, Hot and Blue,” seems to have topped that in noth- | ingness. He gave his writing wife, | Alison Smith, a note telling her that he had a Christmas gift all picked out | for her, but wouldn't buy it until the post-Christmas sales in the depart- ment stores. She must have antici- pated it, for what he found in his sock this morning was a note covered with ditto marks. The Robinsons made this Christ- mas the biggest of their combined lifetimes with the purchase of paint- ings by Corot, Picasso, Gauguin and Cezanne, But, said Mr. Robinson, they didn't fit into the family stock- ings, s0 he had to go out and buy | some more conventional things, toys for Amanny, his son, and jewels for his wife. “The pictures were for the whole family,” he said. “If I tried| to get away with them alone I'd be marked up like the fellow who béught | his wife & new washboard for their | anniversary.” Asked for Coal Scuttle. Helen Hayes got the coal scuttle by ‘prr-nrnngement but it came as a| surprise nevertheless. A few days ago | Ruth Gordon, her dearest rival on the stage, called up and confessed she did not know what to buy her for | Christmas. “My goodness,” said Miss | | Gordon, “you've got everything you want. You've even got & mink coat the restaurant, shown at left. 4 Continuing an annual custom Mrs. Mar yesterday served free Christmas dinners to t{z 1,400 guests had received their fill, Swingtime Santa Claus Visits Celebrities Along Broadway Helen Hayes Gets a Coal Scuttle From Ruth Gordon—Robinsons Purchase Fine Pictures Worth $120,000. and a husband who is trained not to wisecrack in your presence”” Miss Hayes confessed that she needed a coal scuttle for the fireplace in her home in Nyack. “Just try to pick one up for me somewhere,” she said airily, and, after hanging up. chuckled because she herself had been trying | to find one in town for more than a year. It seems everybody burns wood in the fireplace these days. This morning the coal scuttle, a hammered brass one, arrived, all done up in cellophane and red ribbons. Miss Gordon said she had had it made specially. People, who didn't seem to have the faintest realization that what they were giving was the bird, hand- ed out hundreds of canaries to fig- ures along the main stem. Clifford C. Pisher, head of the French Casino, gave more than 200 himself, and Marta Abba, star of “Tovarish,” piled 30 of them into a taxicab this morn- | ing and went around ringing door- bells. Smith's Migrate to New York. Kate Smith, unable to go to Wash- ington to join her family for Christ- mas, brought them all to New York to have holiday dinner with her, She worked up an appetite for the meal by giving away more than $7,000 worth of dolis to needy children. She gave Ted Collins, her manager for the last seven years, a $300 candid camera. Lanny Ross gave nothing less than half cases of 20-year-old vintage champagne. Phil Baker put out for a diamond pendant for his wife. Ed Wynn, whose wife is suing him for | divorce, dined with his 19-year-old son, Keenan, this afternoon, and there presented him with something the boy has wanted for years, the orig- inal manuscripts of “The Perfect —Copyright, A. P. Wirephotos. !Fbo ” and “The Showshop,” triumphs of his father's career. Ed East and Ralph Dumke, most massive of the town’s comedians since people stopped laughing when passing the Hippo- drome, gave each other weight-reduc- ing outfits for Christmas. Parties around town varied in emo- tional eontent from the all-inclusive madness that foamed through doors and windows on the Joe Cook estate, Sleepless Hollow, to the quiet joy at the Hotel McAlpin, where the local Santa Clauses got theirs, Ten-Course Dinner for Santa. ‘The McAlpin kept open house all day, and all a man needed to get & 10-course turkey dinner was a red uniform and white whiskers. The Santa Clauses lingered over coffee and cigars, swapping stories until far into the night. They agreed that it wasn't the sophisticated child and his icono- clasm that disturbed them as much as it was the innocents among the tots. “There were so many wise guys among the kids this year,” said one | of them, “that we got used to handling them, give-and-take, all day long. But when some little kid came up with popping eyes and heart in his throat and body all atremble, why it made us nervous and all flustered up.” Joe Cook’s party at Sleepless Hollow was supposed to be for 30 neighbor- nood children. More than 150 ar- rived to try the disappearing stair- cases and trucking banisters in his trick house. Lily Pons gave a Christ- mas dinner last night for her flance, Andre Kostelanetz, alone and cooked it with her own two hands. Andre's orchestra, hearing of the event, made him a present of 45 pounds of bicar- bonate of soda, one pound from each man, but Andre insisted vehemently that “Lily cooks so heavenly as she sings.” Award for the most Christmas- like act of the day goes to local so- ciety’s Tom Cheesborough, jr. His wife, Chotty Milburn, arriving in Reno to divorce him, slipped and injured herself. Chotty’s mother was ill and her uncle, Devereux Milburn, was in- escapably occupied otherwise. That indicated & lonely Christmas in the hosptial for gay, blonde, young Chotty. | Her husband couldn't stand seeing it | that way, 50 he flew out to Reno and | spent the day at her bedside.
