However, so many young people mostly girls have written to express their reaction to the father-daughter letters which ap- peared in this column last Sun-day that I'd like to let you see what one or two more of the younger generation think about this old world. SAYS ONK The thing that has the younger generation down right now is the war. They don't like it and why should they? Says one: We aren't soft ire are realists. We would rather fight FOR something, than against every-thing.

The father's answer is 6 rather good picture of the generation he represents. He is hiding behind words. He hasn't learned that it is easier to cross a physical frontier (to build California, for instance) than to cross a mental frontier: to plan, and see that the plan If carried out in a world free from. war.

Atty. Jesse Kramp- ton stated that time would be satisfactory to the prosecution. I am not going to ask for any continuance of the Rittenhouse case," Rummel assured the court. At the time he disclosed he her dues to the union while she was out having a baby; that she was refused re-employment until she obtained clearance from her union; that the union withheld clearance until certain claims asainst her were paid to it, that the woman did not have the money to satisfy the union's claims and so was refused work.

The 19- year-old of 1930 thought nothing could be as terrible as the office Issued the grand theft complaint, he countered with the statement that Cooper was trying Husband Accused of Opposing Appearance at Film Premiere Union Secretary Claude Dexter, the record was made to show that Mrs. Stillman had been an official of the union at the time it made the closed-shop deal with her employer and it was indicat to cover up the real purpose of "I want to be an actress," said the wife.
