Back in 1916, Cullen B. Tate, a red-headed youngsters who of course was hicknamed ‘“Hezi,” worked in Mr. DeMille’s company as second prop boy. He was constantly on the jump, scurrying about the studio—and all over | Hollywood, for that matter—in search of anything from an abacus to a zebra for use in picture making. One day the director said, “Get me six sheets.” Tate wasted no time on a reply. He dashed away and in the remarkable interval of 42': minutes returned with six sheep. =

DISTILLED EYE-WASH is, as you doubtless know, the chief byproduct of the Hollywood studios’ journalistic industry. It is made in the press departments during |

the process of trying to get the names of the studio stars into print. Anyone on a newspaper movie | desk can tell you that it is a harmless solution. After you have been | soaked in it long enough it be- | comes amusing, rather than irri- | tating. You even begin to feel a | certain sympathy for the boys in | their straining effort to manufac- | ture a new high in literary fantasies. They're sitting up nights | and cudgeling their brains, and your heart goes out to them. But once in a while they turn out something that disturbs the reader’s rest, keeps him awake nights | as he turns over all the startling | implications and possibilities in his mind. = un »

THAT'S too much. And that's what happened to me the other after reading the Warner publicists’ latest saga of | Olivia de Havilland’s popularity. | | |

ALSO from Paramount, brutally frank communique: “Madeleine Carroll and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. have the leading roles in Paramount's ‘Safari, story of African adventure, but lions, leopards, elephants, mon- | keys and hyenas appear in the | film.” { Don't let the stars scare vou | away, folks—maybe they'll have bank night, too!

INVENTORY OF NATION TAKEN

Resources Planning Board Warns of Problems Affecting Defense.

WASHINGTON, July 28 (U. P)). —The National Resources Planning Board today published cn inventory of the nation’s human and physical resources, warning ef problems in population, transportation, communication and the use of minerals that may have important effects on national defense. “Co-ordination of railroads, waterways, highways, airways and pipelines so that each carries the traffic

it can bear most efficiently is one of the major problems facing the transportation industry today,” board reported. “It recommended planning” to provide

“more effective better and

(cheaper public services.

Ponders Television Future

In the communications field, the board noted the development of television and posed the question of its possible effect on the moving picture industry. Facsimile broadcasting—the sending of printed matter by radio—might require serious changes in the newspaper business, thus affecting the paper

industry ahd indirectily the lumber | (industry.

The board recommended “conser vation and prudent utilization” of petroleum, natural gas and high grade coal deposits by promoting greater efficiency in production, greater economy in use and more widespread utilization of low grade fuels and water power. Elderly Ratio to Increase Estimating U. S. population in 1940 at 131,993,000, compared with 122,775,046 in 1930, the board forecast a 1980 population figure of 158,335,000. In the 50 years following 1930 the number of persons over

This trend, however, “will not nec- | f

Uniform Charge For RED CAP PORTER SERVICE

In order to improve and standardize Red Cap porter service te the public, The Indianapolis Union Railway Company announces that, effective August 1, it will make a flat charge of 10 cents for

each bag or parcel carried at Union Station, Indianapolis,

This

will place the porter service upon the same basis, with reference to uniform price, as now prevails in the parcel room and locker

service, '

By thus substituting a fixed payment plan for the custom of tipping, with its accompanying irregularities in the amounts paid, the Railroad will be able to place its Red Caps on a uniform wage basis. In addition, the new plan will eliminate controversies and legal complications which have arisen under recent Federal legislation regarding the status of Red Caps as employees and the status of tips as compensation for their work.
