De Mille Asks House
Committee Probe Of
Union Assessment
WASHINGTON (UP)— Mo-
tion Picture Director Cecil If.
DcMillc wants the house com-
mittee on Unamerican activities
to investigate the labor union
that barred him from a high-pay-
ing radio show
DcMillc says lie could not
take a SiOK.OOO a year radio —
job because he refused to pay
a SI.00 union assessment. He
terms the union’s action "un-
American and unendurable."
DcMillc wrote Representative
Karl Mundt—a member of the
committee - after Mundt had
asked 100 leading counselors of
American opinion for their defi-
nition of unAmerican activities.
DeMllle'n union batllc be-
gun in Hie recent political
campaign. The AF of I. Fed-
eration of radio artists as-
sessed its members one dol-
lar each to fight a proposed
amendment to Hie Ualifor-
iiia constitution. I'|| I o II
beads said the amendment
was anil-union.
DcMillc refused to pay the dol-
lar because the assessment was
political. The superior court of
I/is Angdcs upheld the union’s
position and DcMillc had to pay
or leave liis radio job He <|ui'.
Now ho says "the right of a
union to keep a man from his
job involves the shocking con-
cept that union by-law take pre-
I cedent over the con titutlon.'

IMAGINE!
LONDON — (UP) — The
British Vicar of Lancing be-
lieves that, if .ill men are
created equal they should lie
hurled the same way.
However, the Church <>f
England does not agree with
him. So the Vicar is fighting
a losing battle'.
Lancing’s old cemetery is
full. The committee of the
Church of England has de-
cided that Lanclng's new
cemetery should have three
classes of grave plots — the
same as in England's larger
cities.
The Vicar has protested
this ruling until he is blue In

MOSCOW (UP) — Red army
troops have captured intact an
enormous underground arsenal
and secret aircraft factory—one
of the largest in Gwman.y.
The Moscow newspaper Prav-
da says the huge underground
factory v.’as disoovered liy
troops battling their way into
the encircled Silesian capital of
Breslau.
The giani ammunition dumps

by foreign workers — pressed
into shivery by the Germans’

Pravda say- the underground

houses, waterwork team heat-
ing plants, motor and great
lathes. The Moscow newspaper
says it covers an enormous area
marked an virgin forest on the
map.
But once* in the forent. the
Russians found that it actually
is heavily populated and criss-
crossed with concrete walls —
invisible from the air The bar-
racks for the slave laborers are
surrounded by a dog traek —
where a pack of dogs especially
trained to hunt men was kept.
The barracks are cleverly
camouflaged with nets and
acres of artificially planted
trn'H.
The gate to the whole arsen-1
al and aircraft factory is reach- .
ed bv a putli under the stumps |
of ancient pine trees.
The Russian report- says the .
