Work Begins This Week on Engineering Wing to East Of Plant 2.

The Allison airplane motor division will further expand its plant facilities in Speedway City, Otto T. Kreusser, manager, said today. Work will begin this week on a new engineering wing on the east side of experimental Plant No. 2. The building is to be 125 by 200 feet and will house drafting rooms. Cost of the building was not revealed. Plans were completed last week and are to be carried out by Lloyd Allen, Allison's architect. This enlargement project is the second in the last several months. A $2,000,000 addition to Plant No. 3, the main production unit on W. 10th St. is near completion. The experimental plant is north of Plant No. 3 on Main St. in Speedway City. Additional .government orders for liquid cooled motors are expected in the next few weeks. Although originally intended as an experimental plant, Plant No. 2 has been serving as a production plant to supplement tacilities on W. 10th St. The experimental plant is reported to have turned out about 20 finished motors in May.

T0 WAR NOTED ‘Let’s Stay Out of It’ Attitude Strong, Legion Head Says After Tour.

The overwhelming majority of want to become involved in the War abroad, Raymond J. Kelly, National Commander of the American Legion, said today. Mr. Kelly, who has just returned to Legion headquarters here after

.|tourihg the United States, said that

this feeling of “let’s stay out of it,” was gaining momentum -every day. However, Mr. Kelly said, “as the richest, most powerful and most fertile nation on earth/we can _not sit idly by and let a world in which militaristic powers rule engulf us.”

Cites Legion Program

The Legion, for the last 20 years. has been a “voice in the wilderness” constantly advising the nation to arm to protect itself, according to the National commander. “The Legion has sponsored legis-

of at least 280,00 men and a national guard of 426,000” he said. “We must build up our nation’s defenses so that nations will respect our strength and legitimate demands. “We are a peace-loving people but a situation has arisen and we must meet it with adequate defenses.” Conscription Favored

He said the Legion also has recommended in’ the past and is still in favor of the conscription of all’ power, labor, industry and raw materials needed by the Government in war time. By this conscription the country would take the profit out of war, he declared. *‘The weight of war must {not drop on the shoulders of the man who carries a rifle and his family but on every American.”

Other winners were Alfred Zim-|

New Film Poll Promises Really Representative Vote

with the calendar year. °That's not so important, but the next two innovations are. A really representative selection is promised, since the trade magazine is polling not only newspaper, syndicate. and magazine critics, but exhibitors and, film directors as well. And the poll is putting special emphasis upon the selection of outstanding directors, in addition to performances by adult and child stars and supporting players. Going to three divergent groups for an opinion, Film Daily should get the most accurate estimate of the public taste to date. The exhibitor, who earns his daily bread by the activity at the boxoffice, may be counted on to judge excellence from a commercial standpoint. The professional critics may view commercial success more objectively, and base their judgment, as in the past, upon such qualities as imagination, courage, sincerity, important innovation and the evidence of talent in all branches of a production. C8 2» 2 oS THE DIRECTOR, who certainly knows more about movie making than either of the other two classes, should be able to add an authoritative voice that is reasonably uninfluenced ‘by studio politics. The good director, bhesides having an intimate knowledge of a film'ssstrength and weakness, has thes viewpoint of an artist.-Most often he 1s one of the

““hired help,” just as are the actor,

the cameraman and the script girl. He is interested, naturally, in the financial success of his own pictures. But in appraising a whole year’s Hollywood output, such a success won't be his sole criterion. “Film Daily is| asking for nominations of the year's 20 outstanding directors. In making this re-

is tacit recognition that.today the director is virtually the backbone of production.” | This is all too ‘true, though the recognition is “tacit” through no desire for Speyer on anyone's part. The simple and natural fact is that the public has hitched its admiration to a star, and givén glamour credit for every nicety of production. There’s- nothing wrong with such an attitude as far as it goes. But the average movie patron very likely is cheating himself out of some enjoyment if he ignores the other factors in the comgpleted picture. Unless it results in a captious or omniscient attitude, a little technical knowl=

patron. As for the rest, their sins and virtues are practically ignored. Yet the director is the man who sets the. mood and pace of a production. If he is good, he can build up a climax of suspense or comedy. He can invest a com-mon-place turn of plot with new interest. He can, by a deft and imaginative use of the camera, save time and words and tell his story with infinitely more power and apreal. He can coax a responsive young player out of hamminess and | self-conscious-ness and indifference and set him upon the road toward success. A bad director, of course, ean, and does, do exactly the opposite of the above. But at his best, he is the key man once the picture gets under way. And he deserves more recognition than he gets.

the season of 1940-41. No company wants to acknowledge any lack of confidence or security, so each one has issued schedules and budget reports which would be impressive even in movie boom times—48, 50, even 52 Class A features, with a generous sprinkling of extra-colossals. A sober guess would be*that each studio will make about 30 features, especially now that double bills seem definitely doomed. n 2 EJ

BEFORE A CHEERING studio mass meeting, Harry Warner made an impassioned appeal for the stamping out of Fifth Column activities. The colony has buzzed with rumors of a strong undercover element working against the completion of anti-totalitarian pictures. And now the Warner studio itself has shelved plans to produce “The Secret Army,” story dealing with Fifth Columnists in the United States. No expldnation was offered, but it's said the Federal Government has asked the movie companies to skip inflammatory material for awhile, ~ Metro still owns “It Can't Happen Here,” but is planning no action on it. . . . Paramount, on the other hand, is reported to have been encouraged in going ahead with “Invasion,” which would deal with an actual attack on this country.
