FDR SAYS WAGE CUTS
WILL BE DISASTROUS
Washington, Jan. 26. Main
tenance of the worker's power
to buy what he needs, according
to President Roosevelt, is a pri
mary objective in the adminis
tration's business - betterment
campaign.
At a regular press conference
late yesterday, the President
Pointed out that the way to get
rid of the recession is to cut
Prices, not wages.
He declared that, "If indus
tries reduce wages this winter
and spring, they will be delib
erately encouraging the with
holding of buying. They will be
fostering a downward spiral and
they will make it necessary for
their government to consider
other means of maintaining
Purchasing power."
The reference to "other
means" was understood by some
commentators to mean added
legislative control over hours
and wages, new public works,
and more relief spending.'

Seniors Applaud
Comedy Success
At Special Show
Play Is Satire Of Wild Holly
wood Life; Enjoyed Long
New York Run
It's "Tonight at 8:30" for the
formal opening of the current
Playmaker attraction, "Boy
Meets Girl." After several weeks
of intensive rehearsals, Howard
Bailey, who directed the pro
duction, pronounced his group
fit for performance.
Last night several hundred
seniors greeted this comedy with
enough laughter and applause
to indicate that it will be a hit.
Although but one of the pro
tracted series of satires upon
the wild and often ludicrous
tempo of Hollywood life, this
play, the work of Bella and
Samuel Spivack, was a far
greater success than any of its
successors. It enjoyed a long run
in New York and various
errouDs have presented it on
tours.
"Boy Meets Girl" is a behind
the scenes picture of a prosper
ous Hollywood studio. Its title
is derived from the cynical re
marks and writings of the team
of Law and Benson, who are
successful because they always
have "boy meets girl," "boy
loves girl," and "boy gets girl.
However, when Susie, a stu
dio waitress, finds herself an
expectant .mother,, things ..really
begin to happen. Midst a maze
of hilarious episodes, the baby
"Happy," is born, and becomes
a sensational child movie star.
Susie 'is supposed to marry
Larry Toms, a cowboy star who
has been featured with Happy,
but doesn't. Law is supposed to
retire to Vermont and "really
write," but doesn't.
And when the play and the
laughs are over, Law and Ben
son remain in Hollywood to
write still more about "Boy
Meets Girl."
