They're the same extras .too Ilut they're carrying broad swords instead of six-shooters. "This is just a western in ar mor." said Louis Hayward. star nf the "The Black Arrow," being filmed from a Ronert Louis Stevenson story. "We've got the vilian and the ranch (only it's a rustle) ;nd the pirl and the chase. What more do you need?" And all this, he added, without' major deviations from the Stev enson stf-ry. The cast and crew contribute minor deviations as they go along on this highly informal picture. Anv ideas on how to kill off more characters are eagerly accepted. Save Salaries "Cut 'em cut of the picture and save on their salaries," Hay ward explained succinctly. So far. Hayward and his lady Janet Blair, are about the only ones who finish on their feet. "I hope nobody, has any more economical ideas,'" he said. Nearly every stunt man in Hollywood found employment bn "The Black A r r o w." It's crammed with duelling- on the battlements, dives to the moats and horseback charges. Fifteen stunt men bite the dust in the final charge on the castle. They have to look out for themselves., But their horses wear mattresses, painted to look like armor. A representative of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals watches every battle scene. They even make sure the horses don't have to travel too fast. Columbia has a way to make the nags look jet-propelled though.

The new Lana Turner is a dramatic actress who doesn't wear a sweater even to keep warm. Miss Turner has turned a cor ner in her acting career, and, she said, the road ahead has no curves. The Metro-Goldwyn-M a y e r bosses started aiming their glam our queen toward important straight dramatic roles when they starred her with John Gar field in' the grim "The Postman Always Rings Twice." Then Carey Wilson producer of "The Postman,", asked for her in "Green Dolphin Street." The spectacle production, also starring Donna Reed, Van Heflin and Richard Hart, was sneak previewed before a preview blase audience. They saw a com pletely new Turner personality from hair-do to acting scope. Heavy Drama The star's usually blond hair was brunette. Instead of the light role she played a few years ago, she had a dramatic part. She por trayed a dominating- woman who undertook to mold others, re gardless of consequences, and then found she had to do a big job of remolding herself. This woman ruins three lives and creates spiritual havoc wherever she goes and she goes from England to New Zealend. It was a completely different Lana Turner. The usually imper turbable -fans sat amazed as the picture ended, then burst into applause. The picture, which contains earthquake scenes guaranteed to shake movie-goers out of their seats, has been since 1945 in preparation and productions. The first postwar "big spectacle," it was delayed for months by shor tages of materials in the vast quantities for the sets. "Green Dolphin Street"' is from a novel by Elizabeth Goudge which won the first $175,000 MGM award. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Stewart were at King's Lake near Valley Thursday to visit Mrs. Stewart's father.

KELLOGG FEEDS Live Stock Specialties ARE "OUR OWN BRAND CHICK GROWER" Telephone 192 xy, Labor Leaders' Messages Call For Repeal of the Taft-Hartley Law WASHINGTON (U.R) Texts of Labor Day statements by Wil lir.m Green, president of the American Federation of Labor and Phillip Murray, president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations: By PHILIP MURRAY American workers face arf im nrcedented challenge on this Labor Day of 1947. The Taft-Hartley Act wa de signed to wiDe out many of the rains tht oreanized labor made during th" past several decades. The Wage-Hour Law was weakened so that it lost much of its usefulness to the lowest-paid workers of the nation. Funds of governmental agen cies whih mieht have been of real assistance in providing facts f and personnel to aid in the col lective bargaining process were slashed unmercifully under tbe deceitful slogan of "economy." Nor is the end in sight, Repre sentative Fred Hartley, co author of the Taft-Hartley Act, promises even more severe anti labor legislation next year. Oth ers who speak for big business arc anxious to support his efforts. All American workers not just those who belong to labor unions should rally on this La bor Day to support the groups which seek to prevent further turning back the clock on man-agoment-labor relations. The blows which have been dealt organized labor will be felt sharply by the farmer, the mer chant and the professional man. When labor's interests are effec ted adversely, the entire public suffers. We cannot ignore the reper cussions throughout the world that result from each new at tack on the rights of the working mMi and women of this nation. This is extremely important to remember, because most of the world is looking to the United States for economic aid and for preservation of the spirit of de mocracy. Throughout the world there is fear that our nation is turning its back on civil liberties, tolerance and progress. To maintain respect and admi ration, we must move forward. We must demonstrate by deeds and not by words that we can make democracy function suc cessfully and produce for its peo pie more and more of the good things of life. Our recent course Jias been away from those things which Americans want and need most. Short-sighted men with greed for power have been responsible for this. Our course must be changed if we are to avoid eventual disaster. Labor Day is a good occasion on which to point these thines out. It is a good day. too, for those of us in organized labor to pledge we will do evervthing within our means' to wipe the in famous Taft-Hartley Act from the statute books. " We must lay the foundation for new legislation that will help , not harm the people. We should . work for hipher minimum wages, a sound national health program, : expanded social security, better i educational facilities, more and ! better homes and a halt to perse j cut ion of minorities. The nation's unionists can help achieve these goals through or ganization of workers who do not vet enioy the benefits of union- 'm through strong political tion in all parts of the nation 4V,rou,i intense activity in every nhpse of our work. We must set the stage to meet the demands of the American people. Labor again dedicates it self to this task. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Wetenkamp and daughter, Marianne, left Sa urday for a two-week trip to Denver. En route they stopped at t Lincoln where they were joined j by Mrs. Ed Smith, daueher of the Wetenkmns, who will make the Wetenkmns. wl the trip with them. Kead The Journal For News.

Bv WILLIAM GREr.N This year Labor Dav finds he ration' workers existing under the ominous shadow of the most ODDres.cive ati-labor law ever enacted by Congress. There can be no real bono of future nmgress and the eninv ment of the free, American way of life for the wap-cncs of our country while th Taft-Hartley Act remains on the statute books. As vet. the full imrjart of this reactionary law hs not been felt ' by labor, but as time rocs on its provisions will stifle tr provh of organized labor, weaken the trflde union movement in our land and make it increasingly difficult for American working men and women to keop their heads above water. The American Federation of Labor does not propose to sub mit such repressive and repres sive conditions. On this Labor Day. I call uoon every member of our organiza tion to join in an unrelenting campaign for the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. j As true Americans, the mem bers of the American Federation of Labor wll rally to meet this challenge. We are determined not to let our freedoms be throt tled. We are ready to fight with every legitimate weapon at our command to protect our ri,7ht to improve working and living conditions for ourselves and our fellow workers. We will not will ingly supinely permit the forces of reaction to capture con trol of our country. Let me make this clear. The American Federation of Labo' has just begun to fight. We will use our economic strensth to the fullest extent to protect the rights of our members in crn- tract negotiations with employ ers. We will take advantage of every opportunity to challenge the legality of the slave labor law in courts. But even such measures arc not enough. In the coming vear. labor must exert its political strength as never before in his tory. We must unite to defent for reelection every member of Congress who voted for this ob noxious law. We must join in electing to our national and state law-making bodies candi dates who are trulv representa tives of the will of the people ad will not succumb to pressure bv the selfish, big-buinecs interests now dominating the 80th Cong ress. Only in this way can we bring about the promot repeal of the Taft-Hart'ev Act. Only in this way cm we succeed in the en actment of social justice legisla tion which is so acutely needed by the American people, like health insurance, cn adeouate housing program and a mini mum wage measuring uo to the standards of health and decency. Today full employment has become a reality in America. The goal of sixtv million jobs has been reached. But this surface prosperity is based upon a num ber of temporary factors, such as the huge export demand and consumer shortages resulting from the war. Now is the time to bui'd for rrmaent prosper ity which will eliminate poverty and needless human suffering. This kind of prosperity is with in our grasp. It reouires the full est cooperation between free la bor and "free management, with povernmpnt intervention limited to the establishment of minimum standards which will assure de cent homes, decent- wage floors and decent healthy conditions I for I the American people. In K'itiner for the repeal of the -Taft-Hartley Act, labor is striving for the attainment cf these goals. 'Burgers . . .
