Taft noted that most of the questionnaires went to business men, with only a few in other categories represented in the answers.

Miss Wall formerly worked for Republic pictures, appearing in "Girls of the Big House" and "The Madonna's Secret" Her associates will tell you she's a "grand trouper." And that's the highest kind of praise. brought directly here. 1 Local fans who last saw Lloyd as a villain in "Lady in the Lake" and just before that as a G-man in "House on 92nd St." will be pleased to learn that it's his turn to be a "good guy' 'again in the role he's now undertaking, that of the head of Goose Bar ranch. He hadn't much time to do more than snatch a moderate amount of sleep before he went to work this morning at the Fairgrounds.

Because of weather-delay, the studio advanced the arrival of Nolan and Miss Wall. They are the last of the cast members to arrive. A native of San Francisco, and son of a shoe manufacturer, Lloyd Nolan always wanted to be an actor, so he talked his parents out of any other career ideas. Then he acted in college, little theatre groups, in Broadway plays and finally came into the movies where he is now making three pictures a year for 20th Century-Fox. Worked On Steamer After five years of Santa Clara prep school, Lloyd entered Stanford University, only to be flunked out at the end of his first year.

That decided him to go to sea. working his way around the world on a tramp steamer. So distinguished a sailor did he become that he ran the boat on the rocks in Marseilles and, on docking in New York, the boat burned. Nolan returned to Stanford to continue his education. One summer he and another student did a vaudeville sketch Lloyd's first acting job.

This experience was short-lived, however, but in 1927 he gained valuable acting experience when he joined the Pasadena Community Theatre, working with Victor Jory and others who have since become famous. After this experience, Lloyd worked with Edward Everett Horton in "The Queen's Husband" and at the conclusion of this show, he decided New York was ready for him. It wasn't Finally, after many disappointments, he met the director of the New York Theatre Guild, who gave him a part in the road company of "The Front Page," where he understudied Roger Pryor and played a small part. Bette Was Usherette When the show finally returned to New York, Lloyd went to Cape Cod Where he worked as a stage hand in the Dennis Theatre. Here he met the late Alice Brady.

Bette Davis was an usherette in the theatre. Impatient with being a stage hand, Lloyd came to New York with the "Cape Cod Follies," which proved an instant flop. His next engagement was in Hoboken where he (riMM ton to Tw Two) Order Non-Union Workers To Bury Bodies 0M17 CLEVELAND (JP) An official at Lake View cemetery ordered 63 non-union workers to enter the burial grounds today in an attempt to resume interment of about 117 bodies that have accumulated for more than six weeks. Burials at Lake View have been held up since April 18 by a strike of AFL grave diggers and other employes, with these two exceptions: A minister and his two brothers last week ignored picket lines and dug a grave for their 72-year-old mother. Yesterday, three newly-hired employes dug another grave.

C. B. Gleason, executive vice president of the Lake View cemetery Ass'n. said he hired 63 new workers after strikers ignored his final order. This he described as four cents hourly wage increases plus a guaranteed 47-week work year.

The union is asking for 10c an hour wage hikes and two cents additional an hour for each week the strike lasts. LIVES TO TELL Seldom does the pilot of a crashed airliner live to tell what happened, but Capt. Benton R. Baldwin is an exception. He escaped with bums from DC-4 that crashed at La-Guardia Field, New York City, killing 42 people and is expected to in investigation of cause pi the disaster.

In real life she is the sister of Miss Lucille Wall, originator, and current portrayer of the part of Portia of the radio serial, "Portia Faces Life," and Belle Jones in "Lorenza Jones." As a movie mother, Geraldine WaU has been most successful in getting her progeny married off. She no sooner finished playing Van Johnson's mother in his latest film, "High Barbaree," than the bobbysoxers' idol took a bride.

As June Haver's mother in Miss Wall's most recent picture, "Scudda Hoo, Scudda Hay," the the maternal actress saw her erstwhile "daughter" wed soon after its conclusion. As young Arthur's "Wyoming" mother she's frankly warning him of the hazard involved. She's even casting a wary eye on "Butch" Jenkins, her son in "Boys' Ranch" altho he's barely past kindergarten age. Two Days On Train Traveling since Sunday night, Miss Wall, wearied by the long train trip, reached Columbus last night at 10 o'clock and was in Lancaster about an hour later. With her came Lloyd Nolan.

He and she are Rob and Nell McLaughlin in the movie here, parents of Ken, played by Arthur. Somewhat revived by a beautiful full-moonlit drive on the auto trip from Columbus here. Miss Wall graciously consented to a late interview because the start of work early this morning would allow her no time today. She was smartly dressed in a tailored suit and dark turban wound about her dark hair. Her eyes are blue, her features mobile, her smile ready and charming.

Her manner is informal, somwhat sophisticated. Miss Wall's mother was bom in Canton, but the latter's family moved out of the state when she was quite youne. The actress claims New York City as her birthplace and former home.

He said the cabinet session is not an emergency meeting but is merely advanced from Friday to accommodate the President. Aside from the limited period for presidential action on the legislation, there is also another time element nvolved. The bill on which the Senate completed congressional action yesterday is designed to take effect July 1. That means hundreds of thousands of revised withholding tax instructions and forms must go to employers in the next three weeks if the bill becomes law. Most withholdings would be cut 20 or 30 percent the first of next month.

Speculation Rife One Democratic official on Capitol Hill told reporters last night that unless Mr. Truman has a last-minute change of mind he will veto the bill. But speculation continued rife. The Senate approved the measure in its final form yesterday, 48 to 28. The House voted for it Monday, 220 to 99.

A two-thirds majority in both houses would be required to override a veto, and Senate Republicans concede they simply don't have the votes to do so. The measure provides for cuts ranging from 10.5 to 30 percent off present taxes over a full year, but only 5.25 to 15 percent for this calendar year. In addition, it would grant persons over 65 years of age an additional $500 personal exemption. Schedule Listed 1 The schedule of cuts: Of net income, after exemptions and deductions, of $1,000 or less, 15 percent in 1947, 30 percent in 1948 and subsequent years.

Frank Krebs, acting chairman of tha state liquor board, warned today that severe penalties would be ordered for violators of the rules against sales to minors. "Persistent and flagrant violators, face revocations of their per mits," he said. Walter Mitchell, another member, added the board would back the enforcement division "100 per cent." "Where we find that the desire for profits exceeds observance of the liquor laws and regulations and disregards respect for common decency, offenders may expect no mercy from this board," Mitchell declared. As the summer school vacation period neared for most Buckeye youngsters, Lt. Floyd Moon, acting enforcement chief of the liquor department, instructed agents-in-charge of the state's nine enforcement districts to watch taverns and night clubs closely for infraction of the state law banning sale of 3 2 i anyone under 18 and rf beverages 'with greater alcoholie content to persons undfr 21.

"Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8 have been designated by me as 20th Century-Fox Movie Week-End in Lancaster. "We will honor the 20th Century-Fox studio of Hollywood on these two, days as a festure of appreciation for what this company is doing for the city of Lancaster. "The tact that 20th Century-Fox selected Lancaster as a typical American town, the natural beauty of the Fairfield County Fairgrounds, and historic Mount Pleasant, as the location and settings for the filming of Technicolor scenes to be shown in the production, "The Green Grass of Wyoming," gives us Lancastrians a sense of great pride and satisfaction. "We are grateful, too, to know that this 20th Century-Fox picture will draw international attention to the natural beauty of our city's surroundings when the movie is shown in cinema houses of the world.

"Let us cooperate at all times with our distinguished guests and show them every courtesy during their stay here this month. Good impressions they obtain here will enhance the community's well-being and broaden its reputation as a hospitable and aggressive center. "Cognizant of the position in which Lancaster is placed, and the great value of the program being carried on by 20th Century-Fox here, as mayor of the city of Lancaster, proclaim Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8, as '20th Century-Fox Movie Week-End' and urge every Lancaster citizen to participate in the festivities arranged for these two days at the Fairgrounds."
