HOLLYWOOD NOTES By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (#—The i- j mate theater, already beset with }a variety of ills, faces another trouble—the loss of the balcony audience.

You sore because a guy from the neighborhood got a few good breaks and married a girl whose old man happens to have a little money?” Doyle gripped hie glass so hard his knuckles turned white. “That’s right. Also, once upon a time, a long, long time ago, you gave your ma a nine-hundred-dollar radio- phonograph combination and a sixteen-hundred-dollar tel- evision set.

For the last two years your old lady has been liv- jing on home relief and what us vas | neighbors could make her take. And why? Because you're yellow. Because when the first really big . | problem in your life came along, you turned chicken.” “That's a lie. A dirty lie,” Man- dell said. He swung a halfhearted right at Doyle’s head. Doyle let it slide over his shoul- | der and sank a right and a left into Mandell’s stomach that sent him reeling back, gasping for | breath. Doyle followed him, flat- footed, landing blows almost at will. “Don’t come that stuff on me, Barney. I handle a lot tougher guys than you every day of the year. | His back to the wall, Mandell jcocked the lethal left that had won most of his fights, then held it.

No wonder Pat des- pised him. Back of the yards, there was only one yardstick of conduct. A man took care of his own. He could get drunk seven nights a week. He could be on the horses or shoot craps or play poker. But he showed up for work Monday morning, if he had to show up on crutches. He could earn it, or beg it, or steal it, but he saty to it that there was on the table. And By Day Keene didn't want to knock him out.

We aren't friends any more.” Pat looked across the. kitchen at his sister, “. that goes for you, too, It catch you walking the floor nights or bawling about Barney any more, I'll smack you, too.” “O.K.,” Mandell said. “I'll go.” He turned down the brim of his hat so the bloodstain wouldn't show. Then, taking the money he’d got for his watch from his. pocket, he peeled off a twenty- dollar bill and pressed the rest of the roll into Rosemary’s hand. Rosemary looked at her brother, then back at Mandell. The corners of her mouth turned down, “What's the money for, Barney?” Mandell ck her fingers around the bills, “Please, Rose- mary. For old times’ sake.” His smile was too quick and tight and twisted. It gave him the appear- ance of crying. “Give it Ma, will you, kid? Tell her I forgot to drop it off. And thank everybody for me, for being so to her, while I—well—kind of forgot.” P bas looked at him thought- fully. ‘ Rosemary caught at his arm as he started for the door: “No, Bar- ney. Wait.” Her lower lip quiv- ered. “There's very wrong here.” Mandell used his middle 7 to flick a tear away from ler, one of her eyes. “Uh-uh. Careful. Or Pat will smack you, too.

As he remembered, on the day before he had committed himself he had made certain that Ma would be well taken care of. He had drawn his money from the bank, some thirty-eight thousand dollars. He had taken a thousand for his own use. He'd given the rest to Gale to put into her check- ing account, with instructions to his mother a check for seveny-five dollars a week until he was well Gale ha kissed him and promise she Then where-had the money gone?

True, the boom has been spurred along by the defense program. But the greatest sustaining force has been the increased civilian de mand, the production of more cl- vilian goods, and the big expansion of plant and equipment—much of which has been aimed at the civil- ian market of the future.
