EQUITY SUSPENDS
CONTRACT BATTLE
Temporary Armistice Goes
Into Effect as Peace Is
Believed Near.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August IT.
The battle of the Actors Equity Associa-
ton to enforce closed shop In the mo-
ton picture industry in Hollywood was
suspended indefinitely tonight.
President Frank Gilmore Of Equity
announced at closed meeting Of men,
bers here tonight that the order Of the
EQUITY Council forbidding Equity men,
berS signing regulation. contracts OF the
Motion Picture Producers, Inc, had
been withdrawn temporarily. The
EQUITY action will allow all members TO
return to work in Hollywood studios
under the contract which Equity has
been attempting to outlaw.
Gilmore said he had received assur-
ances from theatrical union ofncials In
wood temporarily and return to New
York, they would cooperate with him
at that end.
What Gillmore'S. departure would por-
tend in connection with the Hollywood
struggles between Equity and the Mo-
ton Picture Producers, Inc, remains in
doubt. While the meeting was in prog
ress, Equity supporters Would not adj
nit that departure Of their president
meant an S0Q Oh CnS pdCLic 10 IOICS tLlS
producers to accept 100 per cent Equity
casts, or to accept a later Equity offer
Of 80 per cent Equity membership in
casts.
The Equity president plunged imme-
diately into the reading Of long state
ment when he took the platform at the
meeting with the usual formalities. He
waxed bitter against persons who sign
ed regular contracts and replied to
Ethel Barrymore's recent statement Of
criticism. Miss Barrymore termed the
Equity vote of confidence on the 80 per
cent basis, asked for and obtained by
Gilmore "a solution that is not solu-
ton" She said an agreement once had
been reached with the producers and
had been allowed to slip away.
Gilmore asserted he could not un-
deyStand her attitude on her statement,
stating that she was not present at the
meeting during which she said an agree
ment had been reached.
Indications during the meeting were
that Miss Barrymore's statement had
developed strong reactions in some fac
tons of Equity, and while Gilmore did
not so state directly, he inferred that
Miss Barrymore's attitude had had bear
ing on his decision to return to New
York.

Right to Remove
Child's Body Put
Before u. S. Court
Father Seeks Decision
When Denied Permission
By Philippine Bishop.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court was asked yes:
terday to decide whether the father OF
a child buried In Roman Catholic
cemetery in the Philippines has the
right 10 remove the body for burial
elsewhere notwithstanding q canon OF
the church prohibiting 1t.
Ramon A. Arnaldo asked the court
to review q decision Of the Philippine
Supreme Court which held, S to 4, that
he could not remove the body Of his
daughter, Hidlegarda, who died when 2
years of age. She had been placed in q
vault in the Roman Catholic cemetery
at. Capiz, in the province Of that name.
Armed with a permit from the health
authorities, Arnaldo was denied permits
sion to remove the remains by the
Roman Catholic Bishop Of Jaro. He
appealed to the inSular courts which
sustained the Bishop, holding that
Arnaldo had no constitutional right to
custody Of the body. l-..

JURY SYSTEM ADOPTED
FOR TRIALS IN POLAND

WARSAW (P)-A unified penal code
providing for the introduction of the
jury system in criminal cases and g
10-year imprisonment sentence fol
political offenses has BEEN put into
effect In Poland.
The new code, which will replace
the four codes introduced after the
partition of Poland by the Russians
the AuStrians and the Germans will
bring all parts of the country under 9
single system. Until the passage OF
the new code the jury system was
used only In that part of Poland which
was Austrian before the war.
Members of the Polish feminist
movement object to a special decree
which provides that no woman can
serve on a Jury. They argue that the
Polish constitution gives equal rights
to men and women and says that
'public of1ces are available to any
citizens"

FRENCH MEDlCS FIGHT
FOREIGN.B0RN STUDENTS
Attempt to Prevent Government
From Granting Special Privi-
leges to Them.

PARIS R).-French medical students
are trying to prevent the government
from granting special privileges to
foreign students.
They object, in a petition sent the
minister of public instruction, to pro-
posed decree enabling foreign students,
naturalized French, to qualify by pre-
senting school certificates from their
own countries instead of taking the
French baccalaureat, equivalent to
about two years In American colleges.
They also object to foreign students
being able 70 avoid military service by
becoming naturalized after their tlair-
tieth birthday, thereby getting the bene-
fits both Of foreign and French citi-
zenship.
These objections are based chiefly
upon fear of rapid increase In the num-
| Der of licensed physicians, already
considered too numerous to make pros
perity certain.
