Few Rise From Ranks To
 Heights
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

| HolIywood.--So much has been said recently about the high sal- aries and the wage slashing in the movies. 1t seems only fair now to take a peek at a group which never has earned enough money to have It's salaries cut the extras-17,541 of them.
 By far the largest individual group in the film industry, these extras always have presented a mystery to Hollywood. How do they live? For years I have heard that question asked. But never yet has anyone been found who could answer 1t.
 Even the extras themselves don't know. They just seem to struggle along somehow, existing for days at time on nothing but toast and coffee--without cream.
 There was time when the extra ranks were open to all comers. A boy or girl landed fin town, started making the rounds of studio casting offices, and that was all there was to 1t.
 He or she got jobs-sometiDics. That's the way large percentage | OI our BIdTS Oi tuG Oiu StiGut udyb | broke into the movie game. Clara | Bow. Janet Gaynor. Charles Far rell, Gloria Swanson, Norma | Shearer, Richard Arlen, George ,, O'Brien and a great many others all started that way. But the extra ranks soon swelled to unmanageable propor- tions. Casting directors became | un hnl nd v,fth fnh A "a that they had time for nothing else. So the Central Casting Bu- reau was organized. Through this bureau, supported by all ma- jor studios. came the calls for all extras with no charge to them for the service.
 Shortly after the bureau was opened nearly 12.000 extras were registered. Each was classi. fled as to age. height. weight, complexion and type. That sim plifled things greatly for casting directors. They stopped inter- viewing all extras.
 Each night they simply phoncd Central Casting and gave their orders for the number and type of extras which wuold be required the following day. Central Cast ing did the rest---called the ex- tras, told them when and where to report and tried 10 equalize the amount of work given to each. SO that one wouldn't recieve six days work while another got no work nt all.
 Almost simultaneously with the coming of the talkies conditions changed. The number of regis- tered extras had Increased rap idly and because of the difficulties encountered in handing the early sound equipment very few pie lures were made which required the services of large number of people.
 That meant that the number of extras registered far exceeded any possible demand for them. So the bureau doors were closed 10 all new applicants--except q scattered few exceptionally tai. ented ones who were recommend by various casting directors. t To-day 1754t extras are regis

 Not only has the demand for extras diminished, but the hope of ever rising above the ex- tra ranks to-day is infinitely less than 1t was during the days of silent pictures.

GEORGIA DEFEAT IS

R e al Test of Candidates Foreseen in Nebraska
 Primary, April l2
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

WASHINGTON, March 25. For the Presidential aspiration of Speak CT John Nance Garner, the tax battle in the National House of Representatives has taken on as poets of extraordinary significance. Just now, the situation has not added anything to his candidacy and gives no comfort to his sup porters.
 Leaders of the movement for the Speaker have presented his great record of leadership since he as sumed the mantle of the late Nicholas Longworth as proof of his availability. That has been slightly dimmed by the defeat of the manu- factures' sales tax, and his tem- porary loss of control of the House thereby.
 It is still possible for MT. Garner to regain his prestige in the e. making of the tax bill, which is likely to be long process.
 His defeat in the Georgia pri- mary by Gov. Franklin D. Roose- welt is being discounted on the grounds that Gamers proxy, Judge c. H. Howard, was without out standing popularity there. A more clearcut Democratic test is expected on April 12, when the Nebraska primary will be held. There are three entries in that race = Gov. Roosevelt, Speaker Garner and Gov. w. H.

Horrors of
 Var Not for
 Publication
Chief of Signal Corps Will Not Allow Pictures to
 Be Printed

WASHINGTON, March 25. = The War Department has refused to permit publication of certain battlefield pictures on the ground that they would be repungent to the Gold Star mothers of the United States.
 This decision was made by Maj. Gen. Irving j. Carr, chief of the Signal Corps in response to re- quest from George P. Putnam, New York publisher. Putnam has wanted to use the pictures, it was said, in a book depicting the hor- TOTS of war. a4
 The National Council for Pre- vention of War in a press com munication quoted General Carr as telling Putnam:
 ITO give out any such pictures would be against public policy. It would not be ethical. It would not be decent. Think of the Gold Star mothers the country sent to France.
 "Over there they saw the love- ly cemeteries in which lie the dead of the A. E. F. Perhaps their boys lie there. These mothers car ried home in their minds beautiful pictures of these well-kept resting places. That is what they should have-we cannot spoil these mem ories."

Meher Baba Ora His Way

Indian Spiritual Leader h. tends to Break Re-
 ligiious Barriers

BOMBAY, March 25. Meher Baha. Indian spiritual leader call- cd the Messiah, left here for Q crusade in America where he in- tends to break all religious bar riers, destroy American material ism and amalgamate all creeds in a common element of love.
 Eight years of observing si- fence will break upon his arrival in New York City where he plans spiritual retreat similar to Ma hatma Gandhis.
 Meher Baba was interviewed before he left by means of a blackboard. He said Gandhi had promised to join him in the Unit ed States as soon as his political work here is finished, perhaps a year hence.
 Many Indians regard Meher Baba as Gandhi's spiritual ad- wiser.
