FILM “YES MEN" GIVING WAY TO STRONGER MINDS Hollywood. California —(INS> No •'yes men” need apply Contrary to the opinion that the called “yea man" Is the principal job holder In a studio, at least one film producer aaya he has no use for the agreeable fellow Louie B. Mayer likes men about him who ran say “no” when they believe it’s the right answer, and say so In no uncertain terms. ■ Whether It be as business executive or film director" says Mayer “the man who sayn 'yes 1 at the proper time Is, In the final analysis, the really sue cessful worker. The ability to <lo this wisely Is the maik of sound Judg ment” Mayer contends, often gets far ther than fast thinking or flashes of brilliance. “1 have known business men," he says, "who. though seemingly slow in their mental processes and possessed of apparently imagination could when crises came, big or little, steer their business courses invariably in the tight direction. There was none of the flare that gives fascination to chat acters about them but unerring precision in big problems. "What, then, is the basis for sound judgment that makes a man able to judge wisely? It is ability capable of development and training. "Take for instance, Kink Vidor's direction of “The Big Parade" for a more recent case, Clarence Brown’s direction of "The Trail of 98.” Here were productions in which great crowds wete used under unnatural difficulties and often gave hardships. The slightest mistake would have been costly. Accuracy was the fundamental that the structure of direction was built on in each ease. Tried by no guess work at any time. The director had to know whea to say "yes" or "no", and this meant he had to reason out each step and see things straight. "Thus the film director, besides having dramatic perception, has above all things te have that gift of accuracy and analysis that, say. the successful business man has. Colleges can develop the ability to use accuracy; practice makes perfect, but after all the foundation of it is judgment.” — -o —, OBITUARY Esta Mae Tague Green, daughter of McLellen and Martha Tague, was born near Pleasant Miljs Indiana.

Indians Are Gradually Losing Racial Identity; Being Engulfed By Civilization
By Clem Whitaker, INS Staff Correspondent Sacramento.—Engulfed by.the onward rush of a civilization he fought valiantly but vainly to stay, the rod- , man is gradually yielding his proudest heritage-i acial Idonty, The blood of the conquered la minglt h>g with the hlood of the conqueror. Such, at least, are the findings of ; the pslefitce council — Gov. Young’s executive cabinet. And the state, while it can help the Individual Indian, Is powerless to help him in the I perpetuation of his race, according to A. It. Heron, state director of finance. Passing of Indians ' Heron, in fact, believes that tile white man can best help the red man by assimilating him. And regardless of sentiment or one's beliefs, the present Indian, as a distinct race, Is passing from the stage, he informed the white chiefs. No less than 100,000 native Californians now have the blood of the 1 original, but "vanishing American" flowing in their veins. Heron ventured. and in addition, there are some ' 100,000 Mexicans living in the state who are actually part Indian. “Economically it is perhaps best that the Indian rgee disappear be absorbed," declared the statp official. "Attempts to help the redman have, in the past, floundered largely because of sentimetnal considerations —the desire to perpetuate a once proud and great race, rather than to help the individual to meet present day problems. I feel that we can and must help the Indian, but’ we cannot perpetuate his racial Identity." Abject poverty, ill health, underi nourishment, Isolation from the world
of labor, inadequate school futilities, lack of medical and hospital care, barren acres, hall-starved cattle such are the barriers that confront the average Indian In California today. as painted by Dr. Walter M. Dickie, chief of the state department of public health, in his report to the council. Dlckje declared the average earnings of an Indian family today to be 1731 aunualfy. And the minimum subsistence budget for such a family, as computed by his department Is 11,117.20. "We cannot cure their ill,” he su'd, "until we first till their stomachs. Medicine can do little for the man who is half-starved." Health Program The health director favored bringing the young men of tjie Indian tribes out of their mountain lands, into tile valleys and fertile costal regions, as one move toward relieving tile problem. The old Indian cannot be induced to leave the land of his forefathers, he said, but th'.' young braves, after a few summers in the j valleys, probably would remain ami merge with the white population. A committee of the paleface cabinet, comprised of William John Cooper, state superintendent of public instruction, Mrs. Anna 1,. Saylor, director of social welfare, Fred G. Stevenot, director of natural resources. Dr. Dickie and Heron, was appointed by Governor Young to bring in recoin mendations on steps to aid lite Indians. o USE Llmberlost W-rhina Powder
