OSCAR UNDE ERW0OD' HOPE DEMOCRAT |C' PARTY, SAYS k|LBY.
Following Trip, Governor Says Alabama Senator Is Looked Upon as the Standard
 Bearer of Party
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HEEAl.D ! Montgomery. Ala, Dec. 2I l

"Oscar w. Underwood is the hope of the democratic party and the fear of the republican party" This first comment was made today by Gov. Thomas F. Kflby in' a statement re garding his observations in Wash ington and White Sulphur Springs. W Va, while attending the annual conference of governors last week. At the conference of the executives of American states, Governor Kilby met representatives from great m majority of the states. democrats and republicans. At Washington he con ferred with leaders of the govern ment and representatives of the democratic minority.
 Everywhere I found that Senator Oscar W. Underwood is regarded as one of the outstanding men of the na- tion," continued Governor Kilby. Democrats in the Senate and House and out of public office look upon him as an admirable leader and the hope of the party. Republicans re- spect and admire Senator Underwood for his courage, determination and wisdom in affairs of the government and praise him because of the wise leadership which he has shown.
 "one prominent republican of the west told me that if Oscar Under wood had been the democratic nomi nee for President two years ago he would have received the support of a large number of independent vot- CTS, In Washington Oscar Under wood is looked upon as a real leader and everywhere the statement was made that he, as the democratic nominee for President two years hence. could carry the east and west and could command the solid support of the south
 south's Leading Man
 My observation gained from dis cussions with democrats and epub- licans is that Senator Underwood is the south's leading man and one of the leading public men of the nation. T. is good to know that a citizen of Alabama commands such admira- ton and respect and to make himself the hope of his party and the fear of the opposing parties"
 Governor Kilby said all democrats regretted that Senator Underwood had seen fit, because of his health, to give up the leadership of the democratic minority in the Senate, which will be organized on or after March 4. and that everywhere Ala bama's senior senator is being looked upon as the man for standard hear- CT of the democratic party in the campaign of 1924.

M |SSION TO FIX WAR CLAIMS, J. $. SUCCESTIO ION
American Proposal Kept Out of Channels of Diplomacy Until European Attitude
 Made Known
Ry Associated Presa

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-A plan under which an American commits sion would determine how much Ger many should be required to pay the allies in separations, has emerged from the effort to find way for extending American aid toward so- luton of the economic troubles of Europe.
 Although discussions of Inc pro- posal have been kept thus far out side the formal channels of diplo- macy. the exchange of views has developed a thorough understanding in authoritative circles that the United States, Great Britain and Germany are willing to assent to the creation of such commission.
 The plan now is before Premier Poineare of France and he is ex- pected to make a decision after he has concluded a series of conferences with industrial leaders of his own sumed that 1t will be communicated later to all the nations interested in reparations commissions.
 Officials silent
 , Officials of the Washington gov ernment who, from the beginning of the present discussions, have been unwilling to do more than hint that way Is being sought to render aid toward a European settlement, re- fused today to discuss the plan for an American commission. Secretary Hughes. however. did issue a state ment saying that the government" had presented no proposal" on the subject.
 The procedure by which all of those directly interested are sounded out before any definite 'proposal3 is subscribed with government author ity behind it, Is the usual method em- ployed in negotiations of great deli- cacy The secretary's statement re- called an assertion made few days ago by White House spokesman, who said in discussing the American attitude toward Europe, that it would not be proper to display on the stage all that was taking place behind the scenes.
 The plan for an American commits sion first was disclosed early today in an Associated Press dispatch from London where the proposal has been actively under discussion. The dis patch credited the Chamber of Com merce of the United States with hay ing first laid the suggestion before Secretary Hughes and 1t was learned here today that much of the actual which has taken place since that time, has been conducted on be- half of American industry by of ficials of the chamber.

Services Planned
For First Baptist Church

To assist in the series of special
meetings which are beginning in the
First Baptist ehrch OF this city on
Sunday night, Rev. Desmond Hey
Tiger, the new pastor who began his
work last week, has secured Rev.
Edmond Hams, of P~arsippany. Rev.
MIR. Hams will full charge
of the musical end of the services
and will direct the large choir that
is to be in attendance throughout the
two weeks.
The song leader will take charge
at the first meeting. He will preach
the sermon on Tuesday night of the
first week but for the remainder OF
the time will occupy himself prin-
cipally with the music. Rev. Mr..
Hams has a pleasant ringing voice,
is an excellent cornetist, and the
church considers itself fortunate in
securing him for the services.
Mr.. Haines is a duly ordained
Presbyterian clergyman. He has
been in the ministry nine years and
seems to be still going strong in
spite of the bad reputation he a
to live down. His reputation Is bad
because at n time In his rather
busy career he was an actor and
played Simon Legree In Uncle Toms
Cabin. Not only Legree, either. for
he says himself that he played every
part in the show except the blood
hounds. His was the time of the
itinerant road company.
When the former bad man" OF
Uncle Toms Cabin failed to be any
longer attracted by the lure OF the
stage he quit the road companies
and went into vaudeville. This line
also palled after awhile and the one
time actor chit the saw dust trail

PRESS COMMENT
Children and the Movies

A QUESTIONABLE was sent out
lately to three thousand ChicaG,
school children. Its object was
to get some light on the childrens
tastes and habits as regards NOV
ing pictures. The replies were
indicative of the need of super
vision of children'S attendance at
the movies by their parents and OF

ing or censoring of movies that
are seen by children. 1t is not
surprising that eightv-Seven per
cent of the children who answered
these queries attend movie per-
| formances at least once a week.
1t is little surprising to find that
the 2,610 pupils of six schools who
attend movies spend in the aoora-
gate 1920 a week which would
amount in a year to about $4,000
Attendance two or three times q
week was general, and a very large
proportion of the children went
oftener. The maximum was reach
ed bv one who answered: 81 go
to the movies nine times a week
every night and the afternoon on
Saturday and Sunday" Mrs. f. L.
Moulton, who sent out this cues
tionnaire in behalf of the Illinois
Council of Parent-Teacher associ-
tons, comments that the number
of such replies as 81 always go
every Friday night, as there is no
school the next day shows that

day night, Saturday and Sunday
about as regularly as the old-fash-
Toned child used to go to Sunday
school on Sunday.
Some of the children'S answers
to the question, "What kind OF
pictures do you PREFER" were an
amusing combination of attempts
at what the children thouoht they
ought to say and genuine state
ments of the things they really
liked. Here area few samples:
"The pictures I like best are
those which scare you" Good
sensible pictures where people are
very poor and grow rich Guns
and police wagons, because people
are all sad and excited" Travels
with Burton Holmes" "Mvstery
but not too deep" "Lots of frht-
ing when men are brave and fight
for a girl" Good books like
'Pollyana,' ;" "How things are made
pictures of fisheries, etc, and good
Western scenery" Educational
pictures like The Lincoln High-
wavman.
Mrs. Moulton sounds a hopeful
note when she says: "The public
ity given to surveys and discus
sions of this subject are arousing
both parents and teachers to the
vital need of Improvement in the
films on which boys ard girls
spend their leisure time"
