Big and little Cuppers came, by car and train, from as far west as Nebraska and as far east as Vermont. They crowded Dee and Jane's house, set up quarters in the barns, or stopped with neighborsand a jollier gathering you couldn't have imagined I was asked to their final Saturday night supper, when they sang old songs, drank beer and cider, reminisced. Dark Cuppers and A Grand American Tradition blonde ones Vermont accents and Alabama drawls doctors and farmers all with their differences of taste and politics, yet as close and harmonious in spirit as a group could be. From where I sit, it's a great American tradition not just family reunions, but the ability to get along as one harmonious family, regardless of differences of taste whether it's taste for politics or farming, beer or cider.

I 4 Figure Salary Gives Boss Right To 'Cuss9 Film Aide. Court Says I Los Angeles, Dec. 12, (Fed eral Court records indicated today that a four figure weekly salary is a qualification for the privilege of getting cussed out by your boss in a Hollywood film studio. Harry Cohn, top Columbia exec utive, was defending the studio yesterday against Director Charles Vidor's suit to breach his contract.

Vidor claims that Cohn's profane tirades unnerved' and unsettled him, and he wants to wash out his agreement reputedly paying him $2000 a week even while he's testifying against his boss. "I never called Mr. Vidor a until directed 'Cover Girl' Vidor's first big success) Cohn testified. "Before that he made cheap pictures." In those days, Vidor's salary was $250 a week. 1 Cohn readily admitted that on occasion he addressed his ace director with blue tinged adjectives, as Vidor charged.

"Oh yes, I used to call him a Hungarian Cohn testified with a wave of his arm. "But we were good friends. That's the way I expressed my friendship." U. S. Judge Ben Harrison looked a little puzzled.

"Did he express his the same way?" he asked. "Sure. Same way. That's the kind of relationship we had," Cohn replied. He added later that Vidor "could call me anything he liked," and that at studio luncheons everyone was free to "bawl out the boss" (himself) without fear of reprisal.

Cohn, however, firmly denied testimony of Mrs. Doris Warner Leroy Vidor the director's wife and daughter of Harry Warner, 3 5 0 president of a rival film studio that Cohn tried to block her mar riage to the director by phoning her that Vidor was a tough and had "had affairs with every woman on the lot, all my actresses." Judge Harrison, frequently taking a hand in the questioning asked Cohn to describe his duties as executive producer. Cohn said he selected actors, writers and directors, considered stories, supervised cutting of pictures, attended previews and took care of shipping problems. "And," interposed Judge Harrison, "collect the money?" "I try to, sir, I try to," Cohn re plied. Charter Presented To New Gty Union James L.
