CABLE MERGER DEMANDED BY POSTAL CHIEF f. T. & T. President Asks Communications Bill Be Changed. Bv I'nifrd Prttn WASHINGTON, May 11. Sosthenes Behn, president of International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, today demanded amendments of the Rayburn communications bill to permit consolidation of Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. "We believe consolidation of the telegraph communicatioas service of the United States,” Mr. Behn told the house interstate commerce committee, "is in the interest of the public, is in the interest of the companies themselves, and if such consolidation is properly regulated and carried out, is in the interest of labor.” Mr. Behn denied this his corporation was in favor of consolidation merely to rid itself of the financial burden of the Postal Telegraph. He emphatically stated that labor would not suffer through consolidation. "I should like to go on record,” he said, as stating that no consolidation of any kind would be accepted by the International Telephone and Telegraph Association or the Postal Telegraph which discharged the employes because of the consolidation.” Earlier, R. B. White, president of W’estern Union Telegraph Company, urged that the bill be amended to cover “all facilities used for the transmission of public or private messages regardless of ownership of such facilities.

The Theatrical World Wallace Beery Hits Another High Spot With Performance in ‘Viva Villa’

IF you go in lor gun toting and cannon-firing movies then "Viva Villa” is right on your amusement menu. If you are a movie fan of Wallace Beery and ninety-nine to one you are, then this picture presents your favorite in a rip-snortin’, two fisted role with a comedy side at times that should increase Beery's great following. Even before this picture was released, I heard many people say that "Viva Villa” was one picture they wanted to

see when it landed in town. It is a glorified western with a Mexican setting. The producers admit from the first that it fictional bio g - raphy although Wallace Beery is cast as Pancho Villa, the "bandit.” Henry B. Walthall as Madero who honestly favored the revolution and

the overthrow of Diaz and Joseph Schildkraut as General Pascal, the traitor of the revolution, as well as the cause of the downfall of President Madero. Hundreds of troops and peons take part in many moving battle scenes and raids in "Viva Villa.” To the credit of Beery’s acting ability, he is the central figure among hundreds. nun r T''HE director permits the movie patron to see villa’s boyhood life, as played in the early scenes by Phillip Cooper. The persecution of the peons in the hills made an everlasting impression upon the boy.

of the # wearer was pretty, a man of bid temper when in drink, but a loyal friend to the oppressed. This conception of the character gives Beery, even when he is a bandit, or leading a revolutionary bond of peons, human characteristics which are admired in all men. Beery’s fine sense of he-man comedy comes in splendid use as he has one comedy scene after another with Stuart Erwin as Johnny, a newspaper correspondent writes his stories of battles before they happen. Some of these human comedy scenes between Beery and Erwin are splendid theater. This picture has a lot of defense and the battes often are inhuman, but remember Villa was fighting and killing for the poor people who wanted justice. His reward, according to Hollywood standards, was to be shot to
