THE NEW YORK SCENE
BY PAUL HARRISON
NEW YORK — The first thing to boom mightily
under NRA influence was the flag' industry, Broad
way has gone very red, white and blue. . . . Even
up at Columbus Circle the communist orators seem
to have bedecked their soap boxes with more flags
than usual, and to have tuned down their denounce
ments of the American Fascisti” . . . The Blue
Eagle isn't everywhere yet, but he’s coming along.
And the smaller the establishment the bigger the
placard; there's a big one on a tiny watch repair
cubby-hole which couldn’t possibly hold more than
one workman. There's one, too, on a Fifty-seventh
Street speakeasy, on a junk wagon, and on a cart
of an Eighth Avenue fruit vendor . . .
In the teeming side streets of the garment dis
trict though, here are still strikes and lockouts,
picketing, and haranguing by cross-purposed- union
oganizers, Even these things, however, have a
pleasant aspect or two; at least, they have brought
romance to Thirty-eighh Street. A young man car
rying a sign announcing that the workerg of a cer
tain furrier were on strike, observed and admired
a pretty brunette, who bore a placard declaring that
she and sundry others had been locked out by a
millinery concern. . . . They paced the same side-.
walk, these two, passing each other so often that
it finally seemed bad manners not to speak. After
that they walked together, and talked of many things
besides jobs and wages. You can see them there
any day now, happily strolling hand in hand, and
probably speculating on whether the New Deal will
let them afford a little apartment up in the Bronx.
- All in all, Broadway is pretty happy about the
Administration’s code., A lot of shrewd showmen
believe that more leisure for the people who are
working is just what the doctor ordered for the the
atrical industry . . . Those untiring statisticians
on the magazine Variety have calculated that the
rialto was 50 per cent dark last season, with eight
theaters that didn’t open at all. But the 1933-34
season looks brighter, even from this distance. . . .
¥or example, there are no less than three big musi
cals scheduled” for next month. Irving Berlin has
polished off the last note on the tunes for “As
Thousands Cheer,” which will satirize these days
of the rumored upswign. Marilyn Miller, Clifton
‘Webb and Ethel Waters are among the principals.
« « « The very mad Joe Cook, together with the
unchastened Dave Chasen, Harriet Hoctor and oth
ers already are galloping through rehearsals—in
two theaters—of the piece to be called “Heold Your
Horses.” This is going to be a near-Victorian bit
about Diamond Jim Brady, “Nigger Mike’s” saloon,
Rector’s and other people and places of once-ypon-a
time. . . . Best news of all about the Cook show
is that Johnny Green has written the music. The
handsome, affable and thoroughly modest Mr. Green
who wrote “Night Club Suite,”” reminds you of
George Gershwin. And his music, it's said, even
reminds Mr. Gershwin of Gershwin. . . . The third
early musical is, ag usual, the opus of Earl Carroll.
Only this time he'll combine mystery and nudity, or
ectopasm and epidermis, in something titled “Mur
der at the Vanities.” Between each homicidal act
th customers will be entertained by Rufus King,
Olga Baclonova, Jean Adair and many lovely ladies.
Marked “indefinie”, but also on the future book
for September, are the “Ziegfeld Follies of 1933, to
be produced by Miss Billie Burke and the Shuberts,
and George White's “Scandals.” Mr. White is try
ing to lure Mae West to star in it, but if it comes
to a luring contest, Mr, White may find himself in
Hollywood instead. . . . Then there will be all sorts
of straight dramatic diversions to brighten life
along the Gay Way in the autumn.
The papers reported the other day that tne emall
eat industry in the U. 8. is whip-making, and that
there are only 27 whip makers left. Mr. George S,
Overin, however, would like to bet that there aren’t
that many; also that his establishment is the largest
and oldest of the lot.
Overin is a pleasant young man whose great
grandfather started making whips down on Houston
street in 1824, After four generations the business‘
ig still going strong, and the present owner has
an 8-year old son who is already learning how to do
round, square and fancy braids in leather. |
Of course there's little demand for driving whips
these days, but go many people have taken to the
saddle that the small concern now makes about 20,-
000 riding crops a year. There are 136 styles and
sizes of ordinary park-riding crops; also several
special kinds—the “jumper’s bat” for steeple-chas
es, the polo whip and the hunting crop. Polo whips
are thin, tapering and 42-inches long. Hunting
crops have those crooked stag-horn handles, which
are there for a purpose—opening gates without dis
mounting. They alse have long lashes on the other
end—to keep the hounds from under-foot.
You can pay up to $75 for a riding crop, which
of course, doesn’t include the gold and diamends
which have been set into a few of them. Jay Gould,
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, as well as. several
of the Vanderbilts and Hope Williams aye some of
the customers. Overin also makes policemen's bil
lies, blacksnake whips for circuses, western ranches,
and a special kind of riding crop which the English
call a “chowrie,”” made of horsehair and used for
flicking flies.
In recent years the firm has gone in for pelo mal
lets, and now supplies most of the army posts in
this country as well as civilian stars like Winston
and Raymond Guest, Tommy Hitchecock and Michael
Fhipps- The heads of mallets are of rock maple or
bamboe root; the handles of malacca, panang or
moonah. The heaviest mallets, and a lot of them,
too, are made for Lieutenant Harry Cullins, two
goal star of the Governor's Island amy post here.
He is the Babe Ruth of polo, and last year figured
up proudly that had broken 54 mallets in one season.
Meanderings: There's a wealthy New York wo
man, Mrs. Roderick Tower, who never has ridden
on a subway. And an elderly attorney, Mr. Eustace
Seligman, who has seen only onn mcvie 1 his life;
and that because he thought it v9s a stage show
when he bought his ticket. . . . 7>: ~aes Browning—

TIME FOR BUILDING AND REPAIRS
Now is the cpportune time to build new
homes and repair property that is becom
ing delapidated and unfit for occupancy.
A few dollars spent now on repairs and
painting will prove a good investment in
order to rehabilitate such property that
is depreciating in value simply for the
lack of improvements.
~ There are many buildings in this city,
homes and business property which can
be put in good condition at a moderate
cost, but which will be beyond redemp
tion if work is put off much longer. To
day we can still get in on bargain prices
for material and labor—but tomorrow
will find a different condition. The whole
sale price level has advanced, and now
the retail level is beginning to follow. This
suggestion does not need an affidavit to
support the true condition, "but the un
prejudiced - statistics of advancing prices
bears out the statement.
Delay in such repairs is false economy ;
while a dollar may be saved now many
dollars will be lost in the near future.
} THE INCONSIDERATE DRIVER
The American public has a war to fight
every year. The war is against the acci
dent menace—in industry, the home, on
the highways and elsewhere.
~ This is not an empty parallel. Automo
bile accidents alone actually cost more
lives than war. They create as much suf
fering, They are even comparable to war
in the conomic waste they entail.
On a number of fronts this war has been
successful. In the industrial field, tre
mendous progress in accident prevention
has been made. The roster of important
industries which operate for months at a
stretch without a single mishap of impor
tance. is constantly growing. The life and
health of workers in every producing field
has never been better guarded, because
the management has been tireless in in
stalling the doctrine of ‘“‘safety first’’ into
its employes. ;
That is also true of children of school
age. Thousands of young lives have been
saved through courses on caution and ac
cident prevention. The great failure has
been in the field of the automobile. Most
yvears have seen decisive advances in the
number of deaths and injuries over the
last. Reductions, the few times they have
occurred, have been small. The reckless
and inconsiderate dfiver has scored vic
tory after victory. The result is that our
public streets and highways have become
places of carnage.
The never-ending war against accidents
must be fought with increasing vigor if it
is to succeed. The dangerous driver is a
public enemy. He should be given the
treatment he deserves.
REPEAL OF NUSIANCE TAXES
. The unjust and despicable nusiance
taxes enacted under the administration of
President Hoover, has grown beyond tol
erance and endurance, especially the tax
on bank checks and gasoline. That a gen
eral repeal measure will be introduced in
the next congress is assured by Congress
man Doughton, of North Carolina, who is
the chairman of the House ways andl
means committee. In speaking of the pro
posed repeal bill, Congressman Doughton,§
said: ‘“No. 1 in the list of nuisance levies is
the tax on bank checks, describing it as
““an onerous, infernal nusiance”. |
Continuing, the congressman, said:
“Just what changes will be made in the
law I am not prepared to say at, this time.
But T do feel certain many loopholes will
be closed.
~ “We are going to try to see that such
persons as J. P. Morgan, who paid no in
come taxes in recent years, will be reach
ed. Our sub-committee is examining the
law under which Morgan and others were
‘able to claim deductions that permitted
ithem to pay no taxes.
“There are a number of equities in the
‘law which ought to be corrected. It is nét
intended to raise a larger amount of rev
‘enue, unless Treasury conditions. require,
but to readjust the burden along more
equitable lines.”
All of which will receive the hearty and
general endorsement of the public. The
nusiance taxes, as originally enacted into
law, were put on at a time when the coun
try was facing one of the largest deficits
the nation has ever known. The cry for a
balanced budget was nation-wide, causing
congressmen and senators to grow panicky,
and without serious and calm .considera
tion, they grabbed at every bubble afloat
on the budget sheet where a dollar was
seen in the wayv of increased revenues,
consequently, the precent iniquitous nusi
ance tax measure was enacted into law.
| A NEW USE FOR COTTON
For sacking and packing agricultural
and commercial products cotton bags are
being used almost exclusively. In fact,
there are few commodities that could not
be used to better advantage for shipping
than being packed in cotton bags.
The latest use which has been intro
duced in the cotton bag line is the pack
ing of oranges for shipment. Last season
Florida shipped 3,000 carloads of oranges
in cotton bags: California used 250,000
cotton bags in shipping fruits from that
state. It is said that shipments of fruits
in cotton bags are much more satisfactory
than shipmen*s made in wooden crates.
~ With a spirit prevailing for the utiliza
tion of cotton in all forms imaginable, it
does seem out of line for farmers to use
jute bagging instead of cotton. The cot
ton bagging would answer the purpose
just as well as does the jute, a foreign
product. If the cotton growers will insist
on merchandise they buy being wrapped
with cotton products, the consumption will
show a marked increase.

A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
Mayor Dudley is to be com
mended for his action in call
ing a meeting of a committee
composed of councilmen and
members of the Board of Edu
cation to consider making ap
plication for a loan from the
public works fund for munici
pal improvements,
' Under the provistons of the act
appropriating the public works
;'fund,, loans to maunlicipalities,
counties and states were made
easy to secure. For such improve
ments a 8 paving and repairing
‘streets, extension of water and
sewer mains and for the improve
ment of health and sanitary con
ditions, red tape procedure has
been eliminated. It is purely a
business proposition on the part
of the federal government to ex
pedite the early recovery of con
ditions and to reduce the unem
ployed number as greatly as pos
sible. In cases where municipali
‘ties are heavily bonded or other
wise in debt, the government pro
poses to aid them to secure Ssuf
ficient funds for immediate neces
sary improvements without em
barrassment or burdening them
with an ironclad agreement that
might work a hardship on the tax-\
payers. However, it should not be
understood that this fund is be-!
ing used as a dole system for aid.
It is purely a business proposition
and is loaned at a low rate of
interest and on liberal terms for
repayment. However, if the issu
ance of bonds is found to be
cheaper for the tax payers, good
and wel, but the delay in realizing
money from a bond issue, adver
tising for leave to hold an election
—authorization and wvalidation of
such bonds by the courts — and
last, but not least in importance
ig the unsettled condition of the
bond markets as of present time..
A bond election might defeat the(
whole plan of securing immediate
ly emetrgency improvements to say|
nothing of reieving the unempoy- |
ed situation. ‘

It has been a hard race for
those folk who have been just
“a step ahead of the sheriff”
for the past two or fie
years, and to have gained' a
lap or so is a mighty good
feeling.
The recovery administration, in
augurated by President Roosevelt,
is increasing the distance between
the sheriff and the debtor, and if
times continue to _improve, the
sheriff will be ‘taking the place of
the snail in the race. It is a good
feeling to know that one is out of
distance of 'the sheriff, with a good
job ana better times ahead. That
condition is the outlook now with
substantial business increases .to
back it. Keeping courage and
working with a determination. to
win finally result in success.
For some time we dreaded
visiting around among the:
merchants and citizens with
whom we came in contact on
the streets, but it is different
now. Everyone we meet is
chocked full of optimism.

WIER SPEAKS TO
KIS O N
Secretary of Chamber of
Commerce Discusses the
NRA in Athens
“The blanket code 1s proving a
real blanket for some industr’es,
in that it's making them swe it,”
said Joel Wier, secretary o. the
Chamiber of Commence, vpeaking
hefore the Kiwanis club Tuesday
at the Holman hotel.
Mr. Wier spoke on the NRA as
applied to Athens and said that
many industries which were ser
iously affected by the blanke¢ code
will be aided when the code for
that particular business is put into
effect.
. “One of the principal mistaken
ideas people hold about the NRA
is that it forbids the firing of em
'ployes.” Mr, Wier :said in part.
l‘This is not so. It is a code for
ot only the employe, but the em
!plc-yer, and should the employer
find his worker has had his hours
Tcut and his wages raised and is
ot giving better work, propor
tionally, that before, he can and
will, and has fired the worker.”
~ The speaker briefly sketched the
functions of the committee which
will pass on exemptions, He'also
read portions of the retail dealer’s
~ode, and told of the changes whick
which have been since August 1.
The attendance prize Tuesday,
given by G. T. Henry, was won
by J. C. Wardlaw, acting presi

BEBE DANIELS IN
“COCKTAIL HOUR,”
AT PALACE TODAY
“Cocktail Hour” is at the Palace
tonight with Bebe Daniels in the
starring role.
This = picture deals with the
ever timely subject of whether a
woman should go out and taste
life before she settles down to
married life. The leading charac
ter in this film is said to be mod
eled after a noted New Yokr com
mercial artist.
Cynthia Warren is beseiged by
offers of marriage; but she wants
to be independent of any obliga
tions. A young Prince is madly
in love with her but she spurns
him, as well as a wealthy business
man. How she is reconciled to the
fact that she had been wrong in
her ideas and ideals all the time,
forms the theme of the production.

of the proposed gala week to be

depends on how well Mr. Gunn
