things very well, says George Bernard
Shaw-after the British show them
how.
A Bournemouth theater manager
sent the noted Irish playwright an
American clipping. calling the talking
picture of How He Lied to Her Hus-
band" the worlds biggest flop.
There's not a word of truth in it,
Mr.. Shaw wrote in reply American
experts insist on frequent changes of
scene and long intervals of silence dur
ing which the film Is movie and not
a talkie
IT have repeatedly challenged them
to produce my plays on the screen Just
as they are produced on the stage.
They declared it impo ssible, they could
work only on condition of being al
lowed to adapt the play to their tech
nique instead of adapting their tech
nioue to the play.
British International Pictures ac-
cepted the challenge and achieved the
feat that Hollywood found impossible.
How He Lied to Her Husband was Sc
lected because it pushed the test to
the utmost. But Americans will do it
very we'll when they've got over the
first shock. They always do when

In making public this letter Mr..
Shaw said he was satisfied that in
serious dramatic work, conditions are
essentially the same for the screen as
for the stage.

HULL MAKES PLEA
FOR PARTY UNITY
Committee Farley Here Urged to
Plan Crusade for Popular
Government.

In advance of the Democratic parley
here this week, Representative Hull Of
Tennessee issued statement last night
in which he urged the Democratic Ma
tional Committee to "gird itself for the
patriotic task of promoting unity and
harmony among Democrats everywhere,
to the end that this great historic or
ganization may next year be fully
equipped and prepared to assume these
manifold and outstanding responsible
ties Of leadership and service to the
Nation"
Hull advocated that the Democrats
conduct a crusade for new birth
and revival of the ideas, doctrines and
spirit which underlie popular govern
ment."
THE breakdown of dominant bust
ness ard political leadership" he said
during the past 10 years has been SO
complete as to raise very acutely the
issue of popular government. This lead
ership, including the Hoover admins
tration. was as unconscious Of the awful
panic "a hours before it broke in Oc-
tober, 1929 as the inhabitants Of the
southeast corner of the moon.
Millions of people are hungry, while
American farmers are. burning their
wheat for fuel. The processes OF pro-
duction, distribution and consumption
are hopelessly out Of equilibrium, with
the result that 100000 able-bodied
persons in the civilized world are I'M
employed and seeking soup houses and
bread lines, while vast surpluses in most
lines are everywhere piled up behind
impregnable tariff walls, which hope
lessly prevent even the most profitable
exchanges Of barter between nations. y

COURT Will ENJO|N
f. B. M'LEAN SUIT
Publisher to Be Ordered to
Halt Divorce Move in
Mexican Tribunal.

Edward 3. Mclean, millionaire pub
Usher, will be enjoined, ending further
order of the District Supreme Court,
from prosecuting the divorce proceed
ing which he recently instituted in Mex
leo against his wife, Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean. The suit comes up for hear
ing in the Mexican court, March Is.
Justice Jesse c. Adkins. after hearing,
today declared that he would sign the
temporary injunction.
When the American Security & Trust
Co., which with the publisher is trustee
of the estate of his father, John r. Nc
Lean, had reported there had been no
ircome from the Mclean estate since
the issuance of the January order of the
court to pay Mrs. Mclean $500
monthly, the court intimatcd his 1nten-
ton to dismiss the rule. Counsel for
Mrs. Mclean then Withdrew the appli-
cation for contempt against Mclean
and for his arrest
Through Attorneys Julius I. Peyser
and George E. Edelin, the publisher
asked the dismissal OF the petition for
Injunction, Sequestration of his property
and the rule for contempt. He pointed
cut that he is not in default of the order
of January II, as shown by the answer
of the protestee, and asserted that the
prosecution of the Mexican divorce ac-
ton would not affect the consent de-
cree under which the trustees of the
Mclean estate ere to make the pay
ments to the wife. He asserts that
there is no showing that he has been
in anywise in contempt of the court as
he was never personally served with the
rule to show cause.
Mclean tells the court that his wife
knew of the financial condition of the
Mclean estate, the income from which
had been overdrawn, and knew she
could not expect to be paid up to this
time. He explains that his statement in
the application for the Mexican divorce
that there would be mo controversy
regarding pensions for support" meant
that he expected the consent decree of
January II to be carried out.
Attorneys Nelson Harrison and Albert
W. Fox appeared for Mrs. Mclean, and
will present the injunction order to
Justice Adkins for signature.

BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
jenkins Measure Restricts
Admissions to U. S. for Two
Years to Aid Labor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The jenkins bill to restrict immigra-
ton for two years as an aid to en-
ployment was passed today by the
House.
The opinion that the majority OF the
people want suspension of immigration
had been expressed while before by
Chairman johnson of the immigration
Committee.
At the outset of the session, there
were several fiare-ups reminiscent OF
the tumultuous Saturday night session,
when several members almost came to
physical contact.
Speaker Draws Applause.
Speaker Longworth, who was charged
Saturday night by opponents of the i'm
migration bill as being unfair in per-
hitting the measure to come up for
consideration under suspension Of House
rules, answered the charges and drew
applause from both Republicans and
Democrats.
1.-The chair is very jealous of the
reputation he may have for fairness, I"
he said. 1.-THE chair never has and never
will consciously do something unfair"
Longworth explained he had chosen
this course when it became obvious that
opponents were eX1auStlng every par
liamentary recourse to delay the bill.
Charges Neglect of Some.
Representative Cooke, Republican.
New York, said the jenkins bill failed
to care for the foreign born wives and
children of Americans. He added that
$500, 600 600 annually was sent abroad
to relatives by people legally here. The
money would be spent here, he said,
If the wives and children were per-
mitted to enter.

ATLANTA CENSUS
APPEAL DEFEATED
D. C. Supreme Court AffirmS
Denial of Mandamus to
Show $50, 6e1 Population.

The District Court of Appeals today
affirmed the decision of the District SUI
preme Court in denying a mandamuS
sought by 6he city of Atlanta to require
w. M Steuart, director of the census, to
report the population of the munich
pality of Atlanta as the official popula-
ton of the city of Atlanta.
The city, some of It's newspapers and
business men sued the census director
in an effort to force him to show a
population of $50, 691 instead of 270, 1866.
The Court of Appeals in its decision
today held that the national census is
exclusively within the authority of the
Congress of the United States, and that
the director of the census has been
designated as the administrative agency
through which that authority shall be
exercised, and that his decisions may
mot be contradictory mandamus, unless
arbitrary or capricious. The opinion
was rendered by Chief Justice George
E. Martin.
Intended Adding FOotnOte.
Mr.. Steuart had expressed his inten-
ton CT adding a footnote calling at
tention to the act of the Georgia Legis-
lature for the establishment of the mu-
nicipality of Atlanta, and giving the
figures for the component boroughs with
a total of 360,69 but the AtlantanS
wanted the larger figure so as to give a
better standing to their city in the list
of cities of the United States to be pub
lished by Steuart and sought the aid of
the courts.
1T is true as claimed by the appel
lants." says Chief Justice Martin, "that
cities are municipal corporations created
by the authority of the State Legisla-
ture and that municipalities may be
consolidated or portions set off from
one and annexed to another at the
will of the Legislature, and that the
area of a city and the density of its
population are exclusively within the
discretion of the Legislature, yet it must
be remembered that the national census
is exclusively within the authority of
the Congress of the United States, and
the director of the census has been
designated as the administrative agency
through which that authority shall be
exercised. The director is necessarily
invested with discretion in matters of
form and procedure when these are not
specifically provided for by law, and
the exercise of this authority cannot
be controlled by State legislation
Discretion Of Director.
I'm this instance the director, In
the exercise of his discretion, has de-
cided that the legislative purposes
respecting the census win be best
subserved and the public more fully
and more correctly enlightened by set
ting out detailed statement of the
circumstances when reporting the
population tof Atlanta"
