The screens Of theaters included in
the membership Of the Allied States
Association Of Motion Picture Ex-
hibitors will not be used for political
propaganda purposes during the forth
coming presidential campaign, accord
ing to an announcement made at the
headquarters of the body here today.

Disturbed by the thought that promi-
nent persons in the film INDUSTRY VINO
are active in the major political parties
might be able to influence the screen
in favor of candidates they are sup
porting. the board Of directors OF the
association at a meeting in Chicago
Monday resolved to take this stand In
connection with independently owned
and operated motion picture theaters:
The announcement, by Arbram r.

Oppose Propaganda.
"The allied Independent theater own
ers, controlling majority OF the neigh
borhood and small town motion picture
theaters, as well as some downtown
frst-run houses, hereby declare that
they will not, under any circumstances,
allow politically-minded producers to
Use their screens for propagana pur-
poses. The sole function Of the theater
Is to afford entertainment, and the pub
lie and all candidates for oflce are
cautioned to disregard the expressed or
implied claims of motion picture execu-
tiyes that any considerable number OF
screens can be delivered for political
uses
"The allied independent theater own
ers recognize that the public is inter-
ested in newsreel shots Of the candi-
dates and in hearing their more impor-
tant utterances. But strict neutrality
must be maintained; and should it be-
come evident that one candidate Is be-
ing favored over another, the reels viii
be cut or rejected to preserve that bal
ance which the public demands and
which is consistent with the primary
duty Of furnishing entertainment, not
propaganda, to the public"
The association, according to Mr..
Myers, Is national in scope, embracing
in its membership local theater owners
organizations in IS States. No group
from the District Of Columbia, how
ever. is included.

DR.. Holmes replied: I'VE have not the
slightest intention Of misrepresenting
anything particularly in a letter ad-
dressed to the President by SO many
well known citizens. We based the
statements in that letter on magazine
and newspaper articles by reliable cor
respondents; on the news reel photo
graphs taken at the time, and on the
testimony in the courts and before the
coroners jury in Washington.
In view Of these sources of informa-
ton, We are at loss to understand how
the facts could be misrepresented. We
would genuinely appreciate being cor
rected by you IL we are in error. We
would be the first to acknowledge error
and express our humble apologies If we
have addressed communication to the
President unwarranted by the facts"
The original protest condemned the
Presidents action in using troops

warranted"
Communist Label Criticized.
His attempt to label the bonus
marchers as Communists and GRIM

as to all but a handful" and utterly
unjust to hundreds of thousands of
starving unemployed" The protestants
expressed fear the Federal action
would encourage similar violence by
State and municipal officials"

Poppy Sale VIII Be
Held Here SATURDAY. v

Plans are completed according to
Mrs. R. P. Inskeep, President of the
Ridge Igo unit Of the american Le-
gion Auxiliary, for the poppy sale
which will be held Saturday The
poppy has white label attached
to it which bears the cmblens of
the Legion and the Auxiliary On
one side of this label are the words,
I'm Menorian'', On the other, vet
eran Made Poppy.
This is the public's guarantee that
the poppy has becn made by a dis
abled veteran and that all the mon
ey paid for it will be used for the
welfare of the disabled and their
dependents. The label assures you
that the vast organization Of the
Legion and Auxiliary stands behind
the flower, vouches that it is veter-
an made and pledges that the best
possible use will be made of the
money given for it. Z
Those selling poppieS receive no
pay, they are the statesmen for the
men of the hospitals. These men
have been busy for months making
the little flower, an occupation
which keeps minds and hands busy.
And when you see the bright red
poppy, remember that, though the
gas and fumes, ceased taking toll
of lives and limbs, lungs and eyes
and minds when the Armistice was
declared, the war goes on for
thousands of those who fought.

PROVISION IN ECONOMY BILL
INSERTED BY l.. W. DOUGLAS
STOPS REMOVAL LOCAL POST
Congressman Douglas Vigorously Opposes Efforts
To Cut And Reduce Well Planned
National Defense System

United States troops station
ed at Camp Stephen ID. Little,
NegaIes, will remain here until
at least July 1888.
The above information is con-
tanned in a letter received Monday
by the Nogales International from
Lewis w. Douglas, Arizona's only
Congressman at Washington.
The letter reads as follows:
Washington, D. G.
May 16, 1882.
Mr.. Craig Pottinger
Nogales, Arizona.
Dear Craig:
Knowing Of your interest in ma
tional defense and the retention of
the Army posts at Douglas and No
gales, I wish to say I have been
and am now intensely interested in
the defense of our country The
National Defense Act of 1920 rep
resents the result Of long years Of
experience eliminating in the World
War, and the advice Of the best
brains Of the country. It sets up a
system of national defense not for
temporary use but for permanent
Use, designed to meet the various
needs Of defense system.
cts foundation is the regular es-
tahlishment presumably to consist
of a small well trained efficient
group Of professional soldiers, COM
manded by we'll trained, efficient
and experienced officers. It was
planned that from this group IN
formation and experience in train
ing and in tactics would be trans
lnitted to the c. M. T. c., r. o. T.
c., Officers Reserve and National
Guard. While am opposed to re-
duction of the G. M. T. c., r. 0. T.
c., Officers Reserve, or National
Guard, nevertheless, feel that since
all of these component parts rest
finally upon the regular establish
ment any endeavor to cut the en-
listed personnel, now greatly under
strength, or the commissioned per-
strength, would be a blow not only
to the professional group but also
to every other group dependent up
cn it.
Since the G. NJ. T. c., r. O. It. c.,
Officers Reserve and National
Guard by reason of their political
influence have many friends, and
since the regular establishment by
reason of it's lack OF political in
fluence has few friends, have been
confining my efforts to the regular
army while the work with respect
to the other component parts has
Nogales international., 1932-05-25

been delegated to other members of
Congress.
I'm short, you may rely upon me
to oppose as vigorously as possible
efforts to cut and reduce our well
planned system of national defense
Insofar as the removal of Army
Posts from Arizona is concerned,
permit me to advise that at my in
stigation there was inserted in the
Economy Bill a provision prohibit
ing the transfer of officers from
Post to Post during the fiscal year
1888. This will at least hold the
troops at Nogales and Douglas un-
til July, 1888.
with best wishes and kindest
regards, I am
Very sincerely yours,
'L. w. Douglas"

SALOON TAX
WILL STAND

The recent increase in license tax
paid by saloons in Mexico will stand,
President Ortiz Rubio of Mexico de-
clared in radio address a few
nights ago in answer to opponents
of a higher tax
Under the ruling, the increase
amount to 1000 pesos ($33O}, per
month, for first class saloons.
This means that first class bars;
will pay total of $500 per month";.
the old tax having been $500. The
old tax for second class saloons was
500 pesos and $50 pesos for third
class.
