Ex-Hollywood Actor Is Now a Carpenter
PEARL RIVER, N. Y. — Would you give up a movie career, with 75
pictures to your credit, for a job as a carpenter?
Unbelievable as it seems, George Ingham did.
Known professionally as Geoffrey Ingham, he appeared in “Along
Came Jones, with Gary Gooper;
•‘Dolly Madison,” with Ginger
Rogers; “Canyon Passage,” “For
ever Amber,” and “The Killers,”
among others.
George is drawing his trusty
six-gun w hile Gary Cooper talks
to some rowdy cowboys during
a saloon fight in a scene from
’ Along Came Jones.”
George was never a star, but
for 15 years he worked regularly
as a supporting player. However,
movie making to George Ingham
was not “glamorous”; it was just
a way of making a living . . . and
a very hard way, he insists.
Before going to Hollywood, Ing
ham appeared on the stage in
a number of plays. He is from
Springfield, Mass., and got into
acting while attending Boston
University.
But all his life George Ingham
has loved to build things, and
while in Hollywood he operated a
very profitable custom furniture
business.
When the six foot-three Ingham
decided to return East, it was not

These most active candidates
for the Democratic nomination,
which requires a majority vote

touring the west. Kefauver was in
North Carolina, ready to swing
into his home state of Tennessee

Deck Officers Vote
Not To Picket
East Coast Ships
SAN FRANCISCO, (£>)— Ten
,
sions eased Thursday after the
AFL deck officers voted not to
picket east coast and foreign flag
ships entering strikebound Pacific
coast ports.
Instead, the Masters, Mates and
Pilots Union decided to arbitrate
its dispute with the Shipowners’
Pacific Maritime Association.
The deck officers had threat
ened the boycott after shipowners
discharged all but the captain and
first mate from ships tied up by
the 18-day-o*ld strike by the AFL
Sailors Union of the Pacific.
The MMP demanded that the
master and at least three mates be
kept on tied-up ships at. regular
pay.
PM A, through President J. Paul
St. Sure, said:
“We will enter the arbitration
procedure in the hope that any
unresolved matters may b e
worked out harmoniously in the
general interest of waterfront
peace.’’
No progress has been reported
in efforts to settle the sailors
strike. The union demands a 5
percent wage boost and Saturday
overtime pay at sea. Shipowners
refuse to arbitrate unless guar
anteed a one-year contract with
a no-strike pledge. The union
wants any agreement subject to
cancellation on 6 days’ notice.
