"CHIEFS STRESS ECONOMY IDEA

Barkley, Harrison, Byrnes Believe Congress Will - Avoid New Taxes.

‘WASHINGTON, Jan.26 (U.P) .— Three Democratic leaders—Alben W. Barkley, Ky. Pat Harrison, Miss., and James F. Byrnes, S. C.— said today that Congréss wis determined to cut Federal expenditures sufficiently to avoid new taxes or an increase in the national debt limit. : The economy drive pushed forward yesterday when the Serfte, without a single protest, approved a $251,822,588 emergency defense appropriation bill reduced $20,000,000 below budget estimates. . Simultaneously, the House sent to the Senate a $1,032,154,612 Treasury-Postoffice bill, representing a budget cut of $11,491,900. Previously, the House had chopped $94,500,000 from budget estimates in approving $1,100,187,000 for independent offices. . : “Congress is trying to cut down,” Said Mr. Barkley, “so as to avoid new taxes or an increase in the national debt limit, neither of which is a happy prospect.” Lauds. Commitice’s Work

The President, in his annual budget message to Congress asked for $460,000,000 in new taxes. Mr. Harrison, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said the chances of avoiding such legislation ~—especially undesirable to an election year—are “promising.” “I've never seen sentiment stronger in Congress for retrenchment so \. as to balance expenditures and revtenue,” he said. “That’s a healthy condition. It is only by that kind lof procedure that we are going to avoid increased taxes or an increase in the national debt.” Mr. Harrison said House and Senate Appropriations Committees thus far had “done a beautiful job” in trimming supply bills below budget recommendations, and that “that’s the only solution to the tax problem. “I hope the Senate won't fall back now.” Mr. Byrnes, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said there appeared to be “a greater disposition on the part of both houses of Congress to accept-the recommendations of the Appropriations Committee.”

Economy Campaign On

“The Senate’s action in approving the first deficiency bill without a single dissenting vote indicates a disposition on the part of Congress to accept reductions in appropriations so as to avoid. levying more taxes or increasing the statutory debt limit,” he said. Some Senators said that some House cuts, made as the result of drastic points of order raised during tlebate on supply measures, undoubtedly would have to be restored, but that a general economy camPpaign appeared to be under way. The House, in approving the independent offices bill, eliminated $150,000,000 in contract authorizations for the U. S. Maritime Commission. In trimming the first deficiency “bill, which carries funds to be used mostly for the Army and Navy, the Senate eliminated $6,075,000 for purchase of 81 scout bombing planes for the Navy. National defense advocates made no protest. Meanwhile] Senate Administration Jeaders predicted action by the Foreign Relations Committee on a proposal to expand the Export-Import Bank’s capital by $100,000,000 to assure a non-military loan to Finland. Democratic Leader Barkley indicated that he might ask Committee Chairman Key Pittman (D. Nev.) to call a meeting early next week, prior to the regular Wednesday meeting, to discuss the proposal which al_ready has been approved by the ~ Banking Committee. Friends of the legislation said they would be willing to accept amendments to guarantee that no

book until its publication, and her total literary labor added up to 1037 pages. Shortly after its appearance in the book stalls, David O. Selznick

bought the screen rights for $50,000 and the famous hunt for Scarlett O’Hara began. Mr. Selznick interviewed 1400 candidates and screen-tested 90. These tests took up 149,000 feet of black and white film, and 13,000 feet of technicolor shots. All this cost the producer the tidy sum of $92,000, as against & “mere” $10,000 spent on casting the other 59 principals. The most spectacular shot of the film, the Atlanta fire scene, was made. on the night of Dec. 15, 1938. And the occasion was doubly" important. For on! that evening Mr. Selznick first met an English actress named Vivien Leigh, who was present as a spectator.

Huge Staff at Work

The producer was struck by her resemblance to the description of the elusive Scarlett. He suggested a screen test. It was made and approved on Jan. 16, and Miss Leigh suddenly became the most talked-of woman in the United States. While Miss Leigh «was being coached in Southern dialect, the late playwright, Sidney Howard, was finishing up a year’s work on the screen play. However, he was killed in an accident last summer before seeing a single scene of his work on the screemw Other technicians were busy. Art department workers prepared 3000 sketches in color, visualizing each scene of the entire picture. Walter Plunkett made more than 400 sketches of costume designs, which eventually materialized into 5500 separate wardrobe items.

Cast Is Star Studded

Actual production was begun on Jan. 26, 1939, and finished on Armistice Day, under Victor Fleming’s direction. A total of 59 technical workers are given screen credit for their part in the production, besides the 60 principal players, plus hundreds of extras. The film's stars, as everyone knows, are Miss Leigh, Clark Gable, Leslie Howard and Olivia de Hayvil-

Thousands Battle Zero To See ‘Gone With Wind’

Munson. However, the Southern epic boasts many other players who usually have star or feature billing in less pretentious movies. Among these are Victor Jory, Harry Davenport, Jane Darwell, Jackie Moran, Cliff Edwards, George Hackathorne, Roscoe Ates, Eric Linden, William Bakewell, Isabel Jewell, J. M. Kerrigan, Ward Bond and Lillian Kemble Cooper. By the time “Gone With the Wind” had its Atlanta premiere in December, an estimated $5,000,000 had gone into its production. And if -Atlanta’s enthusiasm could have been translated into dollars, Mr. Selznick would have earned back his investment and reaped a profit on opening night. The film opened shortly afterward in New York and Hollywood. And now Indianapolis gets the picture in the first week of its more extended release. According to a. Gallup Poll estimate, 56,500,000 persons were waiting to see. the picture before its release. Among Indianapolis’ quota of expectant fans, 90,000 will see “Gone With the Wind” during its local engagement, according to Loews calculation. :

matic - troubles with the United States and Great Britain continued unabated. Dispatches from Shanghai dis-

closed that a Japanese warship had halted and boarded the British coastal steamer Wing Sang, off Foochow, but it was not indicated that the action was in retaliation for the seizure of 21 German seamen from a Japanese liner by a British man of war. The Japanese, although angered by the British action, often have stopped -foreign vessels off the Chinese coast during the China war. Japanese newspapers displayed increasing anger against both Britain nd the United States, urging that he Japanese Government take a tiffer stand against abrogation of he 1911 commercial treaty with erica. In Washington termination of the rade agreement brought renewed enfands by some Senators for the nited States “to get out of the

n embargo on shipments of war aterials to Japan.

Debate Rumanian Oil Angle

| The tense situation over Ruanian oil, needed by both Britain nd Germany for their mechanized ar machines continued. In Bucharest, it was reported that umania is nearing completion of plans for a series of Government commissarfats controlling not only oil but all key commodities. Reports published abroad that Germany had demanded an increase in its share of Rumanian oil were denied officially. Germany already had contracted for about 30 per cent of Rumania’s oil. However, there have been great transport difficulties ecause the Danube had frozen over nd ‘the sole practicable railroad hich extends from Rumania to ermany via Russian-occupied Poland had not functioned satisfactorily. | Discussing the oil control, a Govnment spokesman said it was imed as an internal matter, to bring about better administration, and not because of any external factor, Rumania did not intend to favor any belligerent power as

against others, he said. ’ er Enyoys Confer Official circles in Berlin said today that the German envoys to Rumania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Jugoslavia and Greece had been in Berlin for a few days for a conference but that all except the minister at Athens had now returned to their posts. Well informed quarters intimated that the envoys discussed the delicate Balkans situation and problems which might arise at the Balkan Entente conference at Belgrade Feb. 2. ; A brief dispatch from Istanbul may “be significant of the game being played in southeastern Europe and Asias Minor. It said Gen. Maxim Weygand, French commander-in-chief of the Allied armies in the Near East, is conferring secretly with Turkish military leaders,

‘Turkey Bound to Allies

Presumably they talked of allied and Turkish military collaboration if war breaks out in the Balkans or Near East. Turkey is bound to the Allies by a military alliance to fight in that region if they fight, although there is an escape clause providing that Turkey does not have to fight Russia unless inLvaded. : Turkey has a strong Army. There are probably 300,000 men now under arms, with trained reserves which would quickly raise the number to 1,000,000. The British and French already have a large force in the Near East. £ The Russian Army newspaper Red Star the other day estimated the Allied concentration in Syria - and Lebanon under Gen. Weygand at 300,000 men, with another 100,000 in Palestine. The French have a big reservoir to draw on in the Moslem countries of the Red Sea region and Nortl Africa.

Aerial Activity Increases

French scout planes reported that the Germans were moving field guns and materials into the Vosges mountain sector of the Western Front and were rapidly digging new gun pits and replacing others. Military informants suggested that the Germans might be preparing for an attack of some sort in the Vosges sector, at the east end of the front where the Rhine turns southward toward the Swiss border. Clearing weather brought increased aerial activity on both sides. The French made numerous flights and the Germans continued flights deep in eastern France, It was reported that one French reconnaissance plane flew into central

man chaser planes, climbed as high as it could and escaped.

CANADA WATS ELECTION DATE

Voters to Express. Attitude Toward War Policies of Prime Minister.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 26 (U.P). —The Government was expected to set a date for a general election, following the hasty dissolution - of Parliament, so Canadians can make known their attitude on Prime Minister W, IL. Mackenzie King’s war policy. | The 18th Federal Parliament was dissolved last night four hours after it had convened, on orders of the Governor-General, Lord | Tweedsmuir. In those four hours, opposition parties had bitterly denounced the weakness of Mackenzie King’s war effort. i :

Censure Vote Wéek Ago

The Legislature of Ontario, one of the nine Canadian provinces, censured the Federal Government by a 44 to 10 vote a week ago for the “so little” war effort and the resclution was read to Parliament before the dissolution. Opposition leaders pounced upon t. ; ! R. J. Manion charged that the Government had hampered Britain's plan to establish an air training program in Canada. He said the Government planned to have only 50 British pilots trained in Canada each year and that it would take 500 years to make up a one-year quota of pilots at that rate.

Conservative Hits King

When the plan for dissolution became known, H. H. Stevens, Conservative, said that it was done “so that Mr. King could avoid meeting the House and giving an account of his efforts.toward the prosecution of the war” ©" "= "x J. S. Woodsworth, leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, said that normally, war contracts let by the Government would have been tabled in the House for inspection, as would the reasons for the appointment of variou War De-
