Two powerful motion picture pro-

dent of United Artists and the
new Twentieth Century Pictures,
and Samuel Goldwyn, head of
Samuel Goldwyn Productions, to-
day quit the Association of Mo,
ton Picture Producers-the Will

In a statement issued in their
behalf by Schenck, it was stated
that they objected to the policy
which permits the association ito
be run by the distributors of New
York who happen to be the bosses
of producers belonging to the as.
ISOLATION"
Further, Schenck declared:
"These gentlemen in New
York who attempt to dictate
production policies without
knowing the temperament of
the actors, directors and writer's
with whom they are dealing
have succeeded in bringing
about a partial decentralization
in their studios"
GoldWyn organized producers

D R j NJ MAJOR
.LOSESG. v. JOB

Ray Heimberger's absence was
so conspicuous at the George
Washington-Auburn football game
Saturday that students decided to
inquire as to his whereabouts.
Heimberger had been drum
major of the G. w. band for the
past two years. He became proml-
nent for his trick in tossing his
baton over the goal posts and
catching it when it came over the
other side.
Students at Saturdays game
missed his well-known trick, and
started to investigate. 1t developed
that Louis Malkus, band director
removed the drum major because
of "incompetency." In his place
Malkus put Justin Lowry, a pro
fessional.
Heimberger was selected two
years ago from among a groW Oh
20 applicants for the post OF drum
major.

FARM STRIKERS
VIOLENT IN
IOWA AREA
Market-Bound With Cattle,
Man Is Beaten; Trucks
SuppIanted by Trains

DES MONIES, Iowa. Oct. "a T..
N. SO.-Violence flared in the
farm strike today when market
bound truck driver was attacked
after he defied orders of highway
pickets to return to the farm with
his load of cattle.
Thine outbreak occurred near
Sioux City.
George C. Brown, trucking a
load of cattle, was overtaken by
two automobile loads of striking
farmers and ordered to turn
back with the cattle.
He refused and one of the
strikers beat him over the head
with his fists. The strikers then
fled.
Brown continued to Sioux City
where he reported to incident to
Sheriff William Tice.
First Violence Noted
1t was the first violence Of
current strike which leaders prom
ised would be peaceful. The
strike last fall was marked by
frequent highway clashes. One
man was killed and hundreds
were wounded.
Farm products receipts at Sioux
City declined further today ana
receipts at South Omaha, where
ire strike was not felt until last
night, were reported to have drop
ped sharply this morning.
Two hundred and fifty Potta-
wattamie, Harrison and Mills
county farmers blockaded a main
highway east of Council Bluffs
last night and we're reported to
have turned back a number OF
trucks bound for Omaha.
Rails Supplant Trucks
Picketing also continued in the
Sioux City section. No farm prod
ucts at all reached Sioux City over
two important Iowa arteries, it
was reported. Rail shipments in
creased, however, thus partially
offsetting the effect Of the high
way blockade. The same was true
at Omaha.
A third picket camp was es-
tablished near oakland where 125
farmers stopped market-bound
trucks and persuaded their drivers
to turn back.
The strike also continued to
gain the support of truckers and
produce houses in. Southwestern
Iowa. :,
A creamery at Griswold closed
until further notice. Three pro-
duce stations halted operations at
Elliott and six Walnut merchants
dealing in farm produce agreed
to stop buying as long as the
strike is in effect.

LIBBY TURNS TO LITERATI

For a Visit

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Libby
Holman, back on Broadway again,
has gone literary-and informal,
too.
The widow of Smith Reynolds,
tobacco heir, appeared with Louis
Bromfield and George Hawkins,
authors, at the swanky Mayfair
Club. She denied she planned a
stage comeback.
And while such celebrities as
Marilyn Miller, Helen Broderick,
Louella Gear and Colleen Moore
wore their best bibs and fuckers,
Miss Holman and her author
friends were attired in street
clothes.
Unmindful of the furore her
lack of evening dress had Gre
ated, Miss Holman danced with
her escorts to the tunes of Al
Goodman's orchestra until nearly
4 a. m.
She told friends with whom she
chatted that she has no intention
of returning to the stage, despite
reports to that effect.
Others at the party included
Lita Grey Chaplin. Georges Car
pentier, Marion Nixon, Blanch
Ring and Lady wilkins, wife Of

RED TAPE

CHICAGO, Oct. "a Q.N.sO.
More than 10000 persons who
cheered Alfred E. Smith at Cen
tury of Progress, today weighed
the effects of the former PreSl-
Dental candidates speech yester-
day in which he assailed Govern
ment interference with business
and urged that the fair continue
next year. He said:
"It may be urged that indus
try's aims sometimes are selfish.
It may be that there are times
when it needs Government reg
uIatiOn. But it is still vastly su-
periOr to Government control Of
business and of all human ef-
fort"
Smith made no direct thrust at
the Government in Washington,
but declared that a Century Of
Progress had succeeded despite
the "red tape" and the "clammy
hand" of Government.
The former Governor Of New
York will return East today or TO-
morrow.

O.N.S0. The Presidents re-
marks relative to money and

THAT he believes in fur.

3.-That he plans to stabilize

that price level, and to control
and stabilize the value of the

Comes Too Late
In general the announced posi-,
ton and program are unfor.
tunate, the argument for initiation
had quite largely lost its force by
the time it was adopted as a
policy last spring, as deflation had
proceeded so far that initiation
or mere relation would not cor
rect the train of evils wrought by
deflation, but for the most part
merely add another train of evils
The six months of effort to in
flate have achieved very little
general relief through monetary
measures, as NRA claims most o1
the honor for such improvement
as has come.
