FOREIGN FILMS | FACE FURTHER 1 WIN ITALY

fi

State Monopoly Set Up To Curtail Outflow Of Gold

Home, Get. 14.—The Italian government has a new monopoly. Henceforth it will act as the only importer and distributor of foreign films in Italy because it wants to curtail the amount of gold Italy spends on non-Italian films. By a recent decree. Fascist authorities established a state monopoly which will deal with all films for Italian consumption not produced in national studios. The government controlled ENIC (Ente Nazionale delle Industrie Cinematographiche), has been selected to exercise this monopoiy. Film circles say that Felice Guarneri, minister of foreign trade and exchange, categorically ruled that non-Italian films are no different from any imported merchandise. He concluded that under the old contingent system too much Italian currency was permitted to leave the country. Prices To Be Fixed The monopoly, which would arbitrarily fix the price payable for foreign films, is said to be Guarneri’s brain child. Foreign films will be obliged to accept the prices fixed by ENIC for the^r films or cease to do business in Italy. One American distributor said that Guarneri feels that" he will ultimately be able to force foreign producers to accept Italian films as part payment for those purchased abroad. ■ '‘Guarneri,” said this American, “has one thing in common with many Italian film moguls. He believes that Hollywood needs the Italian marfcet and will accept any terms that are dictated rather than be frozen out completely.” Italians themselves add that the monopoly is merely a temporizing measure until Italy becomes selfsufficient in the motion picture domain. It is reported that the local industry has adopted a “FiveYear Plan” which will be pursued Until foreign films are eliminated completely by 1943. Italians do not fear any immediate consequences even if the monopoly fails to function. There are I19W more than 100 foreign films in Italy (under the old quota system) in addition to some 70 produced in local studios. Regardless of the reception of the ENIC monopoly these 170 films will take care of Italian needs until next season. Only Hope in Public , American distributors are counting on a revolt by the Italian public. They say that the Italians liave become "American film minded” and that they will not take to having Italian films crammed down their throats. Others, more pessimistically minded, say that man is a creature of habit and that Italians will become accustomed to the local product within a few years. American rum circles do not yet know what disposition the governihpJit intends to take with the money belonging to American producers frozen in Italian banks. tp to now. Americans have been able to withdraw relatively small syjfns from time to time. In order to' liquidate their accounts in Italian banks completely, they w^ould have to -wait, many years. .

It is reported that Premier Benito Mussolini is very much displeased with Hollywood fof three reasons: Alleged “leftist” activity among American actors and openly avowed sympathy for the Spanish government in its civil war conflict.

Survey Shows Aviation Jobs Rising Yearly

New York.—Aviation jobs in the United States will increase more than 33 per cent in the next five years, predicts Dr. Carl Norcross ot the New' York state education department. He estimated on a basis of a tw r oyiar study that the present number of 60,000 jobs will increase to approximately 97,000 by 1943. Airline personnel has doubled in the past five years and will grow between 12 and 1.7 per cent each year during the next five-year period, he said. Aviation factories, now r employing 40,000. are expected to increase their personnel to 64,000 by 1913. The aviation industry is growing at the rate of 10 per cent a year, Norcross said, with factories offering the greatest number of new jobs in the immediate future. Grow th . in jobs in airports, not connected with air lines, will be steady, but will proceed at a somewhat slower rate. Dr. Norcross believes.

fFhere are 47 bells in G. H. S. Jbat are supposed to ring 20 times -

The theme will be illustrated by a brilliant street parade of 20

floats.

The Veiled Prophet celebration corresponds to New Orleans’ Mardi Gras, although not such a large scale, and opens the winter social season in St. Louis. The three-hour parade Will follow a route through the central and downtown streets of the city and is expected to be witnessed by more than 300,000 persons. The songs from which the floats will take their themes range from patriotic anthems to jazz tunes; from “My Old Kentucky Home” to “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” and “The Man on the Flying Trapeze.” The 1938 celebration will mark the fifth time in the history of the Veiled Prophet that a musical theme has been chosen. In 1889 the parade theme was “Comic Opera.” In 1897 it w T as “Old Songs.” In 1913 it w r as “Songs, Poems and Plays,” and “Food, Music and Dancing” was the theme of 1914.

INVENTIVE LID PUT ON SMOKE FROM INDUSTRY

New Type of Air-Cooled Furnace is Devised by an Ex-Boxer.

Hot Springs, Ark,, Oct. 14.—The dream of smokeless towuis seems to be nearer a reality. Ray Bell, former boxer, has invented an air-cooled . furnace constructed on zoning^psinciples. It brings in air from the top and materializes almost complete combustion. Joseph A. Grant, chief boiler inspector for the state of Illinois, endorsed the furnace and said that Bell’s patented invention was a “golden opportunity” to make state controlled Institutions smokeless. Illinois officials have two contracts with Bell, whose invention has been tried in a local laundry for several wneks. St. Louis Finances Obtained When Bell mentioned to a friend, Dr. J. P. Randolph, what he was working on. the physician became interested and studied the invention personally. He wks convinced that Bell “had something.” He interested Tom Ray, St. Louis financier, in the project, and Ray came here to be “sold” on Bell’s inven-

tion.

Beil’s prowess at pugilism was proved poor In a few years of competition and he stopped fighting to

“meddle” with machinery.

Grant said he did not hesitate to state that he had brought to Hot Springs every instrument and device demanded by Illinois in connection with boiler testing. /

Surprise for Inspector

“I tried my best to make it fail I Dakota to function,” Grant said. “When 1 first Iboked at the smokestacks over the laundry and did not see any smoke coming out, the natural conclusion was—no fire was in the

boiler.

“But I visited the engine room and found the boiler popping, but could place my hand on it and not be burned. “Briefly, this has been a revelation to me. I subjected the boiler to every test I knew and experimented with some I didn’t know. I am convinced that it is absolutely perfect. It certainly is a remarkable invention, and if put into general use in any city, the smokeless town we have been hoping for will be a reality.”

Manila, Oct. 14.—A program of economic planning Without economic dictatorship is now taking shape under the guidance of Manuel Roxas, considered one of the ablest political leeaders the Philippines has produced. Roxas retired from active partisan politics after 15 years in the Philippine legislature to become chairman of the National Economic Council. The job he has outlined may prove to be one of the most important contemporary developments in the Philippines, which still depend on American market preferentials for about 40 per cent of the national income. “I think we shall have to visualize,” Roxas said when he retired from the National Assembly, “the Philippines 10 or Id or 20 years from now when we shall be, I hope, 25, 30 or 40 million people. “We shall plan for the Philippines now-, and until the country reaches that stage of development. to provide for the welfare and happiness of this population, to give work to the people, to promote social services and Justices and insure every man and woman of this country not only so cial security but an opportunity to share in the blessings of enlightened civilization.” To Guide Enterprise Roxas’ job is based on the announced policy of President Manuel L. Quenzon w'ho appointed him to attempt to provide the most good for the greatest number through guided, but not regimented private enterprise. He plans surveys of soil and climate to encourage efficient, agriculture, and employment of technicians and experts for research. He expects to organize studies of foreign and domestic market requirements, credit facilities, transportation needs. and power development. “With these means at our disposal we shall give direction to our economic development,” he said, “by encouraging expansion where it is most desirable. Our method will be to create conditions so favorable to the intensification of certain productive enterprises that it will be reasonable to expect capital to avail itself of the conditions.” Roxas will concentrate special study of the foreign trade, w'hich wRl be one of the greatest problems if the Philippines begin to lose the market preference in the United states in 1946 as schedul-

Cleveland Starts Campaign To Make Rich and Poor Vitamin Conscious

Cleveland—The Cleveland Health Council, theorizing that the city’s diet largely is inadequate, is striving to make the citizens here the most vitamin-conscious of any in the United States. Radio, nurses, physicians and public health organizations—virtually every medium possible—are being used to tell rich and poor, alike, of the importance of vitamins in their breakfast, lunch and dinner. Families* of low-wage earners are being warned against trying to live healthfully without adequate vitamin contents in their diet. They are being told how to get the best food to keep them going properly despite their limited finances. The well-to-do are being taught the art of more judicious mon£y spending to get the most advantag'e from the food they and their children eat. The council is showing the city’s general public how many vague illnesses and fatigue are attributable to improper diet and how the

right soft of food is as vital ag sunshine, fresh air and exercise. Mrs. Alice H. Smith, leading Detroit dietitian, who Is in charge of the educational program sponsored by the council!, has suggested that a study be made to show hbw the simple addition of inexpensive food, such as milk, to the diet improves adult health and children’s

growth.

“The family of the average workingman needs the most help,” Mrs. Smith said. “The indigent, when there is adequate money for relief, have a better diet than the low-salaried working people. “These are in the majority. “In Detroit, we found border-line families able to spend on the average only 6 cents a meal for an individual.” In Detroit, Mrs. Smith was a member of the nutrition staff, department of public welfare, assistant dietitian at Grace hospital, a nutrition instructor in Wayne University and dietitian at Jennings hospital and the city physician’s

office.

LOOKING FORWARD

Any farmer who is tempted to flirt again with the Republican party need only to turn back the clock to 1932 to be disillusioned. He needs hut to compare his own situation with that of the Hoover administration and realize how close he was to bankruptcy in that era. He has only to count his ow r n pocketbook to find the answer. The reply of the Democratic party to the plight of the farmer was an increased buying power for the foods he raised. The farmer knew that there w'as little use raising

foods or cattle, if the people in cities had no money with which to buy. They knew that the old low r of supply and demand had not been repealed, especially when the forces that represent demand upon the ability to pay. The reason for 10 cent corn and 40 cent wheat was no secret tq him. He knew'. For the first time the farmer, as representing a great industry, no longer had to pay subsidies to manufacture. For the first time his income level was raised to that of industries. He prospered under the first farm law until that was nullified by the Supreme court, but even that decision could not check the efforts being made in his behalf. Cheaper credit saved his farm from foreclosure. He did not ask tor charity, hut for justice when the government provided low interest loans to help him during the depression that had come upon him. Uncle Sam, not Shylock, became his refuge. The national Income of all farmers in the United States was raised over 100 per cent from 1933 to 1937. In Indiana, it was even higher for th farmers of this state received ,as a total, $1.17 for every 50 cents under Hoover. Changing 50 cent pieces into a dollar, and 17 cents is mathematics which no Republican can waveaway as unimportant. Indiana farmers will follow the

EMPLOYMENT INCREASES

“Business is better” is the word spread by every business man, every industry and every worker. This means that more men are employed. It means that those who have been idle are again on pay

rolls.

Depression strikes quickly. It grows like a snow' ball on the downhill roll. First it is one man who has lost a job. Tomorrow the clerk in the grocery store loses his employment. The next day workers in distant factories feel the stress. That is what happened when the manufactured recession occurred in 1937. Business men attempted to show' that they and not the President run this country. Big Business wanted to show that this “New' Deal foolishness” must stop. But when the recession reached its bottom, it was the New Deal to which business again turned for aid and supoprt. The answer to unemployment is more jobs. The answer to distressed business is more customers. The answer to depression is increased purchasing power. The administration applied this

billions of dollars for new' improvements. Indiana joined w'hen the state turned losoe seven millions for its needed institutions—and had the money. Every city, Republican and Democrat, have asked and received the aid from the national funds. The result is just becoming apparent. In every city, men are again being called hack to work. In South Bend and Fort Wayne and Gary, men are again at work in private indusry. In New Castle and other industrial centers, again factories are open. The money will give an opening for surplus labor. For every job offered through TUiblie employment, others are heir;.? hired in private industry. ’The department stores are increasing their staffs of clerks . Grocery stores are hiring more men and women. Once again, business follows its unescafiable law. New purchasing power has rescued exhausted business. Those Who attack the Democratic policy and rail against Roosevelt are faced with one inescapable fact. Business

is better.

CHRISTMAS SEE AS JOB FACTOR DURING OCTOBER

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 14.—Factories. confectionery, toys and games, fancy paper boxes, jewelry, silverware, glass and other items designed for the Christmas trade are among the Indiana businesses which normally expand their employment from September to October. “Our seasonal variations in employment studies for 137 industries show that in normal years 34 industries expand and 27 contract

employment two per cent or more from September to October,” Martin F. Carpenter, director of the Indiana State Employment Service, said today. “Fifteen lines ordinarily reach the peak of their employment during October and nine other lines reach their sub-peak. Employment is at its low'est level during October in only one of the industries

studied.

“With other ♦ban seasonal factors also indicating an acceleration in business, it appears at this time that October may be one of the best months of the year for employment opportunities,” Mr. Carpenter said. “Although Christmas gift buying will have little bearing on employment in retail stores (or from 40 to 60 days, this influence is noticeable during October in wholesale trade and in certain lines of manu-

facturing.

“The colorful autumn foliag-e which attracts thousands of visitors. to southern Indiana hill areas throughout October is another seasonal business stimulant. This factor should provide numerous temporary jobs in garages, tilling stations, hotels, restaurants, and other establishments catering to tourists w'hich are located in certain cities and along highways through

the territory.

“Employment ordinarily reaches its crest during October in plants producing bakery products, confec-

preparations,

food preparations, bags, toys and games, fur goods, springs and mattresses, furniture, stoves, glass, gas. and for the sheet metal and roofing, fancy and paper boxes, fitting trades. Hotel employment may be expected to reach its autumn peak, equivalent to that

attained in May.”

The 34 industries which normally expand employment from Septem-

ber to October are;

Confectioneries, about 21 per cent; agricultural implements, about 13 per cent; theaters, about 7; stoves and furnaces, soap, gas and electric fixtures, and food preparations, more than 5 per cent; lamps and reflectors, fur goods* mens’ furnishing goods, and musical instruments, all approximately

4 per cent.

Those increasing two per cent or

more are:

Buttons, sheet metal work and voting, fancy and f>aper boxes, shirts, smelting and refining, patent medicine, tobacco, woolen and worsted goods, hotels, jewelry, women’s clothing, silverware and plated ware, glass, toys and games, mattresses and bed springs, knit goods (fabrications), boots and shoes (rubber), lighting equipment, druggists’ preparations, paper goods, plumbing and steam fitting, wood turned and carved, and electrical machinery. The industries wbocb normally decrease employment include canned and dried vegetable factories; ice manufacture; ice cream; beverage; butter and cheese; general contracting; sti’eet, road and sewer construction; paving materials; brick, tile, and terra cotta; clay products; marble, slate and stone

work, cement, lime, painting and decorating; car (electrical and steam railroad); machine tools; tin and tin cans; non-ferrous metal alloys; bituminous coal mining; oil, gas and water (drilling and plumbing); petroleum refining; pumps and pumping equipment; radios and phonographs; and

laundries.

INDIANAPOLIS AERIE NO. 21T, FRATERNAL ORDER OF EAGLES

Editor, The Post-Democrat, Muucie, Indiana. Dear Sir: I speak in behalf of 14,000 old people, 2.400 blind and 30,000 orphaned children of Indiana who are the recipients of federal-state-county public welfare assistance. It was written as the law of Indi ana in 1936, with hardly a discernable voice in opposition, that these persons, meeting rigid requirements and shown to be in need, should be granted a pension or public assistance at standards “compatible with decency and health.” Now. while I am strongly in favor of keeping local property taxes at the lowest rate, I also strongly resent the concerted efforts of the agents of the farm bureaus and the organized corporations to make the orphans, the old folks and the blind the object of their taxsavhig attacks. They have done this by

classing these unfortunates, who have utterly' no chance of bettering theif lot through self-heT#, as “reliefers.” They go before fax review' boards aiid wail about the tremendous costs of relief and then instead of looking to township relief budgets they start whittling on the 20 per cent which the county puts up as its part toward the payment of public assistance for the orphans, the blind aftd the deserving old folks. They disclaim attacks on actual payments to the needy aged and others, saying they are cutting down administrative costs; yet it has been the money which has been paid out for first grade administration and investigation which has kept over 30,000 ineligible persons off the public assistance rolls. As a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, which originated the old age pension movement in this country, I would like to remind those who make no distinction between “poor relief” and /mblic as . si stance for the aged, that there is a vast difference. They operate under entirely different laws and by widely separated authorities. The township trustee is overseer of the poor. The public welfare department receives applications of those seeking pensions. It is the law in Indiana that the state will join with counties and the federal government to pay pensions or public assistance to needy persons meeting strict requirements. If the professional tax-savers want to urge separate counties to welch on their part of the payments to the deserving aged, blind and widowed mothers, I hope they will be willing to take the responsibility if it comes about that federal and state funds are withdrawn from the county and local property owners are asked to pay the other 80 per cent of the bill. , Whenever welfare departments are given the slightest authority over poor relief, it will then be time—and not until then—to talk about “welfare relief.” Welfare aid is “public assistance”, based upon rigid requirements and high standards, but if it is the thought to take a#ay from the needy aged that Which lawfully has been granted to them, then mayble we bad better let down the bars, grant pensions to every one and call it “relief”. I’ll assure you the cost would be nearer $100,01)0,900 than $20,000,00© for the whole state. Let’s he fair and look to the township trustee’s budget when we are talking about general relief; to material appropriations when we are talking about WPA costs, and to the county welfare budget when we are talking about akl for dependent children, the blind and old age pensions. Very truly yours, J. Pierce Cummings, Past Worthy President Fraternal Order of Eagles, Member, State Board of Public

Welfare.

GROSS INCOME TAX DUE

I

Indianapolis, Oct. 14.—Gross income tax returns covering income received during the third quarter of 1938—July, August, and September—are due October 1 to October 15. Clarence A. Jackson, director of the state Gross Income Tax Division. announced today, with a prediction of a large increase in the number of quarterly payers, “Gross income tax return forms and information and assistance in filing the forms have been made available in the one hundred and fifty auto license branches throughout the state and, at some two hundred and fifty addition disrlbutron points,” Mr. Jackson said. “The location of the additional distribution points will be announced m your local papers.^ Although quarterly returns are required by law only from those whose tax exceed $10 for the quarter, many taxpayers owing less than $10 have found it a sound policy to take advantage of the opportunity to pay quarterly, Mr. Jackson pointed out, saying that the state Division has been operating on the theory that quarterly tax payments are a convenience to the taxpayers. The nmnber of third quarterly returns is expected to be swelled by the addition of many returns from farmers. The forthcoming taxpaying period falls near the close of the harvest season and offers farmers an opportunity to pay at a time when they are best able to do so. Many people of other occupations report the quarterly plan Is a distinct help, since it helps prevent the full tax from coming due at the close of the Calendar year when the holiday season offers so many other opportunities to spend ready cash, the director reported. All taxpayers are entitled to an exemption of $250 per quarter; retail merchants are granted an exemption of $750 per quarter from “receipts from selling at retail” as defined under the Gross Income Tax Act. This exemption, however, it not in addition to the regular exemption. Penalties for failure to file returns when due range from 10 per cent to 50 per cent of the tax due, with interest payable at 1 per cent a month from the date the tax was due; the minimum penalty is $2.00.

With an impressive attendance record of 943,412—an increase of 41,899 over last year’s figures at this time—the Indiana state parks are preparing to accommodate additional thousands of park visitors before the season closes, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, reported

today.

Missing the million mark so far by only 56,588, it is anticipated by park officials that the 1938 state park attendance record will far exceed last year’s total of 1,064,700. The leaves in some parts of the state already are beginning to turn, and many Indiana motorists are taking advantage of the miles of recently-opened improved state highways to make early autumn excursions to the Hoosier parks. Later on, when the scenery throughout southern Indiana has turned into a riot of color, the state parks will play host to thousands of nature-lovers and outdoor enthusiasts from Indiana and ireighboruig states. Brown County, lovely as it is in the. fall, shares its popularity with other state parks in southern Indiana, and McCormick’s Creek, Spring Mill, Shakamak and Clifty Fail all are expecting their attendance to increase before the end of the season. In anticipation of the fall rush, Staste park att<4hdants have cut approximately five-hundred cords of wood to be used by picknickers and campers seeking outdoor recreation in the state parks.
