He | was as a heavy in an adventure Hayden’ By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (#—What happens to an actor’s career after he con- fesses he had been a Communist? Some actors have fallen to ob- seurity, others have managed to continue their careers. One of the latter is Sterling Hayden, the tall, rugged ex-seaman who testified last year in Washington that he had been a member of the Commu- nist party for six months in 1946. Hayden has always been free to speak his mind, so I directed some pointed questions at him: How did the Washington head- lines affect his career immediately afterward? “If anything, I was in a better position than I was before,” he replied. “Before I had testified, there was a cloud over my name, a sort of uncertainty about whether I was ‘safe’ or not. Producers were naturally afraid to cast me. After- ward, everything was out in the open. “As to the immediate reaction, I don’t know. Nobody wanted to hire me, because they didn’t know how public opinion would turn. I never heard of any producers»who said they wouid not hire me. There may have been some, but my agent didn’t tell me of any.” How did the situation break? “I went to Y. Frank Freeman (head of Paramount, where he had fiously been under contract) land told him I needed a job. After I left, he called the talent | said the only part he could offer me Picture. He said it would be less . | money than I had been getting, but Louis R. Chavez, Gilbert V. Og- den, Charles E. White, Joseph E. Bingleton, William G. Jaycocks, aydon C.

He has made eight pic- tures in a row, including “The Star” with Bette Davis and his curre'’ “Flame of Timberlane” with Ann Sheridan. What was the personal reaction to his confession of Red member- ship? “With two exceptions, I have had no adverse comment made to me personally. The two exceptions were a couple of guys I knew in San Pedro and whom I suspect of still being Commies. “I have had no adverse reaction on the tours I have made all over the country for Compo (the film industry’s public relations cam- paijn.

Tar Will mmunist Label Does Not Give County Commissioners Lawmaking Power |Return To Ring TALLAHASSEE # — Florida voters will decide next Tuesday whether to grant their county com- missioners law-making powers. One of the 11 constitutional amendments to be voted upon in | the general election Nov. 4 would enable counties to obtain charters | under which they could “regulate | and govern” themselves in respect to “local and internal affairs not | directly related to any state func- | tion or responsibility.” Florida’s 67 counties now. are only administrative sub-divisions of the state. County officers have | no ordinance making powers. They ‘only administer laws made for |them by the Legislature. County | laws are the so-called “local bills,” which crowd the calendar of every session of the Florida Legislature. For example, if Leon County wanted to order all dogs in the county muzzlec, it would have to ask the Legislature to pass a local bill prohibiting dogs from running at large in the county without muz- ales. The pi “home rule” amendment would change this sys- tem by permitting the county to obtain from the Legislature a charter under which the county commission could make its own law in such a purely local question as muzzling dogs. The amendment would put coun- ty government on the same basis as city government. All incorpo- rated cities in Florida operate un- der charters granted by the Legis- lature. These charters grant the cities the right to make their own local laws on most matters. “home rule” amendment offered their proposal on the ground the present system of county government was out- moded, inefficient and uneconomic. They also argued that many of Florida’s counties now are as ur- ban in character as incorporated | cities and that the people of the counties were entitled to have self- government in strictly local mat- ters. Chief arguments against the amendment are that it is too broad and that its terms are ambiguous. The amendment says “‘the Legis- lature may authorize the adoption of charters by the several counties jata primary, general or special election, which charters may be altered or amended only by the method by which they were adopted.” The charters, in the words of the amendment, “‘may designate the name of the county, regulate the powers, duties, and jurisdiction of | all county officers, and designate | their classes, terms and jurisdic- tion, and provide the manner of their election and compensation.” The amendment specifically bars any county charter from impairing the powers of any constitutionally created court or the county school board. Nor would any charter be permitted to affect the levy, im- position or collection of taxes for state purposes. Opponents. of the amendment argue that under its broad terms it would be possible for each of the 67 counties to come up with an entirely different system of local government and bring about com- plete administrative and financial chaos at the county level. Supporters dismiss this -suggest- ion as ridiculous. They say the PEOPLE’S FORUM li ff i ef ff : HE ? / i i é of Hf H i “FEPC BILL” Editor, The Citizen: If Mr, Sam Harris, who criti- cizes Sen. George Smathers for his. opposition to the FEPC, in the People’s Forum, thinks “Fair Em- ployment Practices Law” merely means fair employment he has | another guess coming. He and all the rest of the folks who believe it to be just a high sounding gen- erality. Compulsory FEPC, as drawn up by it’s sponsors, calls for beauo- cratic invasion al all .privacy in business and management at every level. It means that séme long- hair from Washington could --- and would come down here and tell who to hire and who to fire in | your business. Specifically, it calls for a cer- tain precentage of each minority tacial group in even the smallest enterprise. It is all drawn up, only awaiting ratification by Congress. ming this down our throats, it would be in effect, another instance of an articulate minority ruling over an inarticulate majority. Responsible leaders of the color- ed race are not the ringleaders. They realize only too well how many graves would be the conse- quences which must follow any such arbitrary course! It is the Radicals with foriegn ideology who are pushing this through -- such Communist front groups as “Americans for Demo- cratic Action.” Two few of the general public are aware of what is going on or what this FEPC calls for. And it’s most rabid proponenets are very hazy and general about it. They don’t want you to know. Yours for a Republican Presi- dent>come Tuesday, November 4, 1952.

Ameri- amendment is entirely permissive, that no county would be forced to | operate under a home rule charter unless it wanted to improve its | governmental system. | They concede that a sparsely- populated rural county like Liberty might seek a charter differing quite radically from that sought by a populous urban county such as Dade, but hold this is right and proper since the local problems of Liberty and Dade Counties are as | different as day and night. Probably the most headted ob- | jection to the amendment stems |from the provision that a charter | could provide the manner of elec- | tion and compensation of county officers. Opponents of this clause, led by county office holders, say this means a charter could provide for elimination of elective county of- ficers other than a supervisory board such as the county commis- sion. Under a charter, the opponents say, a county commission could do away with officers such as the sheriff, assessor, tax collector and supervisor of registration, and ap- Point a county manager who would employ assistants to handle law enforcement, tax collecting and other county functions. Supporters of the amendment contend it probably would be a long stride forward if counties | were to abolish elective offices and | adopt a county manager system. | And under home rule,” support- ers of the amendment argue, it would be possible to do away with what they term the antiquated and unfair fee system and put county officials on sensible and just sala- ries, - give him all of the land west of the Mississippi. - Comes Nixon with the “sob rou- tine” --- America is again deeply moved, Now comes Eisenhower, react- ihg to Truman’s alleged charges of racial and religious bias: (Quote from the Miami Herald, October 21, 1952) “I get so angry that I (Eisenhower) start to choke.” Allah be praised!!!

The enlisted man, Robert George Marmon of the U. S. S. Roanoke is being discharged today and says it feels like the world’s beginning all over again. Questioned on what he intended to do, I found he was going BACK to boxing, and that he was a prominent contender in the middleweight class before join- ing the Navy in 1947. A quick check confirmed this. It also con- Airmed the information that Bob Marmon was winner in the first Golden Gloves bout, and also the first boxing match ever to be tele- vised. This was in the Arena at | Philadelphia in 1947. He told me that he had been in the Navy four years and ONE DAY and the one day seemed very im- portant in his mind, He joined the Navy one day in a fit of boredom when it suddenly seemed he wasn’t going anywhere, and he wanted to see the world, This wish he got, his tour of duty taking him to every country in the Mediterran- ean, the Red Sea, the China Sea, and back to Lisbon and Antwerp. He has been on the Roanoke ever since she was commissioned in April, 1948. Although Bob has only been in Key West for six weeks, he likes it here very much and would like to eventually make his home here. Other statistics on a young man leaving the Navy: Bob is 25 years old, is going back to Philadelphia | where he will live with his parents at 2732 West Thompson St., Phila- delphia, Pa. He’s a good looking youngster tying to grow hair after a crew cut and we hope he doesn’t get his face all mashed up in the ring, but if he can get back his old form, he probably won’t. One other statistic, an important one gals, HE WANTS TO GET MAR- RIED! No, he doesn’t even have a girl friend, Motions of the penguin’s “wings” when swimming under water are quite similar to those of birds in flight. ‘ MAN’S INCORPORATED “THE STORE OF QUALITY” Misses’ and Children’s Store Here — We Are Prepared To Take Care Of Your Needs LADIES SWEATERS $1.98 — $2.98 $3.50 — 95 TWIN SET SWEATERS $2.6 $3.50 — $5.95 Boy’s Jackets, sizes 2 to 18, $2.98 to $10.95 Ladies Toppers $5.95, $10.95, $15.60.and up Ladies 2 pc.
