Labor Editors Back Foreign
Policy Os The President
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—Fifty
two out of 55 of the Nation’s lead

only a handful agree with Mr.
Lewis’ views.

else believes the Western Hemis

erwise,” Hugh Cfiulthome, Edi
tor of the Electrical Union News,

enough for me.”
The editors polled were from

Ayres, Barrymore
On Screen In
Kildare Thriller
Dr. Kildare has a tragedy, a
great problem, and an adventure
in the field of symphony music
in “Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day,”
latest in the popular Dr. Kildare
series, with Lew Ayers, Lionel
Barrymore and Laraine Day,
at the Dolly Madison today and
Friday. As usual, a notable guest
star appears, this time in Nils
Asther, noted Scandinavian star,
who has appeared opposite Gar
bo and many other screen charm
ers.
The story deals with the prob
lem presented by a famous or
chestra conductor who is grad
ually growing deaf. Ayres and
Barrymore grapple with the
problem and find a solution. It
brings in the story of the ro
mance of the older doctor, who
loved a musical composer, and
in the climax Asther, as the con
ductor, conducts the dead girl’s
symphony. For this Barrymore’s
own compostion, “Tableau Rus
se,” recently played by a number
of symphony orchestras, is play
ed. Barrymore also plays parts
of his own music on the piano.
He took time out from milk
ing the cows at intervals to
count the ball-shaped clouds
moving by during the month.
Chicago Club
Names Most
Heroic Family
CHICAGO. The last thing
that Mr. and Mrs. George Cas
cino ever expected, surely, was
to be singled out of the several
million Chicagoans as the city’s
“most heroic family of 1941.”
But that honor has come to them
through the discriminating Union
League Club which on August
27 handed them an impressive
parchment and saluted them as
"a true American family.” •
SSIS a Week Goes Far
Tlie Italian immigrant couple
ate the recipients of the Club’s
first family-life award. Their
achievement is recorded in the
lives of their five children, all
doing well in their vocations and
professions, all excellent citizens.
But the remarkable thing, to the
Union League Club, is that this
achievement has been “wrought
in an adverse environment and
with the least of material advan
tage.”
The Union League got interest
ed in this family through one of
the Boys’ clubs it operates for
under-privileged youth in the
blighted areas of Chicago’s West
Side. The Cascinos co-operated
with the Club from its start, and
their youngest son, Anthony, has
been employed by the Club for
a long time. The sls a week he
earned helped keep his family
going for a long time and play
ed its part in his own and his
brother Joseph’s college educa
tion.
For Mr. Cascino has never
earned much. Coming to the
United States from Italy as a
youth, he worked as a street lab
orer and at other similar jobs.
Later he got more skilled work
at a machine, but pay was un
certain because his company was
near bankruptcy. Mrs. Theresa
Cascino helped by finding work
in factories when she could leave
•her children. She brought her
mother from Italy to keep house,
but finally gave up her work
outside fUe home because she,
felt her children needed her to

Children Have Excellent Records
The neighborhood in which
the family lived was one which
sociologists say produces delin
quents. But the five small Cas
cinos came through unscathed
morally and mentally.
All have made excellent rec
ords. Angelina, the oldest, was
