survey naming a Democratic possi
bility as their choice, Mr. Truman
i» the overwhelming favorite for
the White House in 1948.
As an earlier survey shows, labor
union voters are, moreover heavily
Democratic in their party prefer
ences 70 per cent preferring the
Democratic party, 30 per cent the
Republican party.
However, Mr. Truman does not
as a candidate stand any stronger
with organized labor than with the
rest of the country. The Democratic
candidate preferences of union la
bor differ in no important respects
from those of all Democrats.
Mr. Truman is the choice of 65
per cent of labor union Democratic
voters in the survey and the choice
of 67 per cent of all the Demo
cratic voters in the country.
Henry Wallace, the favorite of
labor leaders for the vice presiden
tial nomination in 1940, runs sec
ond. He is the choice of about two
in every ten.
After Wallace in the list of Demo
cratic choices of labor union voters
come General Dwight D. Eisen
hower, Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes, former Secretary of
State Edward B. Stettinius, Jr.,
Fiorello H. LaGuardia, James Far.
ley, and Mayor William O’Dwyer
of New York City.
The results of the survey stem
from replies to the question:
‘What man would you like

Choices
Among labor union voters in the
survey who name a Republican as

same proportion as among all GOP
voters in the country. About twice
is many name Dewey as name his

ICKES TO CHECK
BOMBS, RE FISH
Government Group T c
Study Aftermath Of Atomic
Shells On Finny Tribe
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 — UP) -
How will the atomic bomb explo
sions in the Pacific affect the fish?
The government intends to find
out.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
named a four-member scientific
“task force” today to determine
what happens to fish life in the
Bikini area during the atomic
bomb test on warships.
Ickes. in an announcement that
svas made public through the joint
Army-Navy task force conducting
the tests, appointed Elmer Higgins,
chief Fishery biologist as his liai
son officer with the Army-Navy
group.
io iTiaKe purvey
Under supervision of the fish and
wildlife service will be a group of
three scientists to conduct the sur
vey before and after the bomb
explosions.
The three scientists are Vernon
Brock, loaned by Hawaii, who will
have immediate charge of the field
work; Dr. Leonard Schultz, cura
tor of fishes for the Smithsonian
institute, and John C. Marr, biolog
ist of the Fish and Wildlife service
of Pacific coast.
A crew of fishermen is being
recruited.
Scientific personnel and equip
ment will leave the United States
late this month aboard the Coast
and Geodetic survey ship Bowditch.
Preliminary surveys will begin in
the Bikin area early in March. A
second atoll outside the bomb zone
will be selected as a "control” area
for comparing results with waters
unaffected by the bomb.
Fear* Allayed
The announcement said that al
though first word of the atomic
bomb test gave rise to concern ovei
possible damage to commercial
fishery resources, the designatior
of Bikini had "largely allayed such
fears.”
Earlier Gov. Mon C. Wallgrer
asserted that the atomic bomb tesl
should be called off if there was an^
possibilty it would damage the
salmon indust ryin Washington anc
Alaska.

Hollywood
By ROSALIND SHAFFER
AP Newsfeatures Writer
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 12 — men
you go to see Lana Turner, Bette
Davis, Dana Andrews, Humphrey
Bogart, Joan Crawford, Gregory
Peck, or any of your favorites in
some novel which has been made
into a film, do you resent the story
changes?
If you do, you’re one of a multi
tude. Whenever studios make a
film from a novel there is always
a deluge of mail telling them not
to change the story and stick to
what the author wrote.
Sauce for Gander
After all, if it's good enough to
be popular, the outraged fans re
mark, it should be good enough for
Hollywood.
If you’re one of these, you might
as well brace yourself, for there’ll
be some changes made in many a
novel readying in the film work
shops. There are many reasons
why this must be so.
“Forever Amber”
One reason the public has learn
ed to identify readily, is censor
ship. You’ll see an example of
that in “Forever Amber” when
that sizzler starts curling the cel
luloid. Amber dies in the film be
cause the film code says that those
who do wrong must pay the pen
alty. In the book she was left on
her way to a big and cruel sur
prise. and you had to imagine your
own ending.
Time Limitations
Another limitation in film mak
ing is that a picture must tell a
story in a limited time; the novel
ist has no such limit. You may
remember when half the country
spent most of a month reading
“Gone With The Wind,” and be
fore that, “Anthony Adverse.”
It’s no wonder that much of the
story had to remain between two
covers, and couldn’t get on a
screen.
Only Craftsmen
Contrary to what you might
think, a screen writer isn’t a de
mon of conceit with a mania for
changing better men’s works. He’s
only a craftsman, sometimes a
genius, often less inspired. But
under the compulsion of cutting the
cloth to his pattern. His pattern
is the eye of the camera, and he
must present the tale so that it
appears as action. He can’t use
the fine embroidery of the novel
ist. the descriptions, the philosophi
or psycnoiogicai discussions.
If Gregory Peck is to be
portrayed as a man with a
mental aberration, as in “Spell
bound,” he is shown wandering
about in the middle of the night
with an open razor.
Sincere Love
When Lana Turner and Johr
Garfield appear in "The Postmar
Always Rings Twice,” you’ll see
not the sordid physical passion o:
the novel, but a deep and sincere
* love affair. This is partly censor
ship, but more importantly, i
brings audience sympathy to' the
pair, but not to their crime.
Next time you see a novel made
into a movie, instead of knocking
it to your friends, think it over
or better, talk it over with them
You may find evidences of some
surprisingly fine work, once yoi
accept the fact that the earner;
has to tell a story in its own way.
