ATLANTA, ANP) — The Wil
liam Reeves’ suit asking equal
pay for Atlanta school teachers
was dismissed Wednesday morn
ing in United States District
court upon the request of the
plaintiff’s attorney and another
is to be filed next week. Another
ieacher will be the plaintiff in
the new suit, according to Atty.
A. T. Walden, who it acting for
a local citizens’ committee co
operating with the NAACP.
Dismissal of the old sn\t was
asked by Waldien on the grounds
that Reeves did not have a case
inasmuch as iie was dropped
from the city school system af

HOLLYWOOD, (AXP) —Ruby
Greene, when a cute little
wide eyed kid down in Kinston,
N. C.. never dreamed she become
the bride of a U. S. naval officer
and be right in the thick of
things when a war started. She
might have dreamed about being
a movie actress — most femin-

but'she didnit believe they’d ever
^Yet'.that^S what has happen
ed, ‘to date, to Ruby, who is
now Mrs. Tilman Golden.
To tell the story backward,
Boby Golden, who has been studio
cook for Lum and Abner during
the filming of their latest pie-
ture, “Dollar a Year Man,” has
been cast for a speaking role in
fKeir next picture. That’s de
finite. It came about like this:
Lum (Ciiet Lauck) and Abner
Tnffy Goff had just enjoyed oni'
of Ruby’s luscious Southern Inn
cheons served in their bunglow
on the lot where they eat, sleep
and broadcast during filming.
“Ruby,” said Abner, “yon
deserve a bonus. Name it and yon
have it."
“Well, Mr. Abner,” answered
Ruby witt heri infectious smile,
“Fd like right well to be in .;i
Lum and Abner picture.”
“And yon can be,” spoke up
“Abner, have her written into
the next script. And pass^ me
another helping of that good
com bread.”
Mrs. Oalden, wife of Chief
Petty Officer Tilman Golden who
is one of the few Negro service
men holding such a rank, came
to Hollywoo.d after Pear Har
bor. When the Jap bombs fell in
that attack, she and her hus
band were On Hickman field in
the officers’ quarters. They were
unhurt. But with war on. Golden
sailed on his destroyer anJ Ruby
mailed back to Hollywood.
Here, recently, she has ap

as “Cabin in the Sky” and
“Stormy Weather,” in both of

Laundry Worker b
Essential Employee.
WASHINGTON, — Laundry
workers are essential to the war
effort and therefore eligible t-/
the same preferential treatmeat
now accorded other esesntial war
industries under stabilization
plans now in operation through
out the countrj.
The War Manpower commiss
ion has passed the word along
to its regional dirertors irith
instructions to classify laundr
ies as “loccally needed.” The
new treatment extends to the
referral of workers by the U.
S. Employment service, protec
tion from labor piracy and sta
bilization of their existing labor
force, but does not provide for
occupational deferiuent under
the Selective Service aet.
