COLQUITT ENDORSED
FOR RAIL BOARD POST
Group of Hoover Democrats of
Lone Star State Call on
President.

BY the Associated Press.
A group of leaders of the Hoover
Democrats of Texas called on the Pres
ident today to inform him that they had
a real working arrangement with the
Republican organization of the State,
headed by r. B. Creager, national COM
mitteeman.
Leading the group were former Gov.
o. B. Colquitt and Alvin Moody, chair
man of the Hoover democratic organiza-
ton of the Lone Star State. They said
patronage was not discussed, but Mr..
Colquitt already has been recommended
for position on the railway mediation
board which has been held by former
Gov. Pat Neff of Texas, whose renom-
nation failed of action at the last ses-
sion of the Senate, although favorably
reported by the interstate commerce
committee.
Senator Moses of New Hampshire
called at the White House during the
forenoon to indorse Mr.. Colquitt for
the place. The Creager organization
also is supporting the former governor.
Members of the delegation said Mr..
Hoover had expressed appreciation OF
the fine majority given him by Texas
last November and intimated that it
had come as a very pleasant surprise as
he had been doubtful that Texas would
swing into the Republican column.

MOVIE ATTENDANCE
NOT CUT BY RADIO
Will Hays Figures Show In.
crease of 5 Per Cent Over
That of 1928.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

If radio has had the effect of keeping
people at home more, the motion pic
ture industry has not felt it in any loss
of attendance. Figures from VIII Hays,
car Of the movies, show that motion
picture theater attendance in 1929 in
creased Is per cent over that of 1928,
Yet 1929 saw more than 100000 addi-
tional radio sets installed in American
homes.
The attendance in motion picture
theaters last year was about 100, 900 900
a week. This year, according to the
figures made public by Mr.. Hays during
recent visit here, it averaged 115,O00,-
600 week. An appreciable increase is
also anticipated in 1880.
Interest in sound pictures, product Of
the same electrical Laboratories that
produced radio, accounts for the in
crease in theater attendance, according
to Mr.. Hays. Because of the increased
production Of quality pictures for circu-
lation in the first half of 1880, he adds,
there will be a still further increase.
The movies have no qualms about the
encroachment of radio, and are pro-
ceeding with their normal expansion
plans.
Out in Hollywood some apprehension
has been felt lest television, still only
a promise, should wreak havoc with the
film industry. Leaders in the produc-
ton end of the industry, however, are
resting securely in the belief that even
If television broadcaSting Is done from
films some one will have to produce the
pictures. Nor do they fear that tele-
vision will keep people from going to
theaters.
When television comes it is the con-
fident belief of many far-sighted lead
orr in both nj
radio industries that its most important
use will be in theaters. There the tele-
vised subjects will be flashed on screens
as they are received, either by radio or
wires. William s. Paley, president of
the Columbia Broadcasting System, has
expressed the belief that the gregarious
instinct will lead people to attend thea
tiers, lectures and concerts even when
they can witness and hear the perform
ances at their firesides through the
medium of an instrument like the pres
ent radio receiver.
Nevertheless, the motion picture peo-
pie are not overlooking the possibilities
of radio. Their sound recording stats
are almost invariably former radio tech
nicians, for the engineering problem Of
recording is much the same as that of
broadcasting. One meets radio engi-
neers everywhere on the movie lots Of
HOLLYWOOD.
At least two of the big film producers
have stronghold in the radio struc-
ture. Paramount owns a half interest
In the Columbia Broadcasting System
and uses the facilities of that network
to exploit many of its stars and their
pictures. Radio Pictures is a subsidiary
Of the Radio Corporation of America,
which owns half interest in the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., the other great
national network. The other producers
have long tried and are still trying TO
gain foothold In radio by the purchase
Of broadcasting stations.
