TAXES COMING IN
 VERY SLOWLY
(Continued from Page D

The $400,000 paid in so far Is from small property owners, of course. The factories of the city, which pay the major part of the local taxes. will not send in their checks until the final day of col lection so as to save interest for themselves on their bank accounts. The factory checks will amount to about $1,000,000 or over.
 Under the present charter of the city of Waterbury, where the first installment due in May remains unpaid, the interest charged on the bills will date back so that the penalty will apply to the entire bills of property owners.
 There was a small line of prop erty owners waiting in the tax col lector's office this mofning but 1t is expected that 1t will grow to- wards the end of the week. Col lector Ennis urged all those desir- Ing to pay their taxes to appear early so as to avoid the usual last minute rush which occurs on the final day. which this year will be Tuesday, October 31.

 New York, Oct 24.-(UP)--Seri- Dus potential danger to the free dom of the press--particulariy the freedom of American newspapers and press associations for unbiased reporting of foreign news--is con tained in the agenda of the Inter- national Press Confesence meeting in Madsid November 2.
 This meeting marks another stage in the campaign waged un- ceasingly since the war by Euro pean governments and foreign off, fees to clamp down upon Ameri- can and other foreign correspond ents ontrol to stifle reporting of news distasteful to the exsiting governments and prevent unbiased news reahing the outside world.
 Now when there is more wide- spread and rigid restriction of the freedom of the press in Europe than at any moment since the war the potential menace is certain items of the Madrid agenda to the press of the United States and England and Scandinavia-last re- maining major nations where conn piete freedom of the press exists and there is no censorship of out going or incoming news--is unus- ually significant.
 The preparatory committee rec ommends the following subjects be discossed:
 Means of assuring the cor rection of false news.
 2-Right of answer.
 3--Methods of stimulating news likely to lead to rapproachement of nations and peoples.
 Incorporation between official press agencies.
 g-Creation of an International Tribunal of honor"
 6-Means of assuring that the newspaper profession be exercised only by competent persons giving adequate guarantees"
 European conceptions of govern mental control and inspiration of the press for nationalistic purposes and European ideas of government controlled "officiaI' press associa- tions are generally so repugnant to American conceptions of the role of the press that many of the scheme behind the items of the agenda will be found tntirely in- acceptable to the American press.
 The agenda is q direct outgrowth' of the Copenhagen press confer enee of January 1892, which this writer attended representing the United Press. At that conference the American organizations repre- sented (UniteN Press, Consolidated Press, Universal Service and In- ternational News Service) refused to subscribe to the principal ideas because of their conflict with tra- ditional American concepts of the independence of the press and freedom from governmental inter- ference.
 The fifth item proposing estab- lishment of an international trib- unaP occasioned the bitterest con- trOversy. As outlined at Copen- hagen 1t envisages an "interna- tional court" of Journalists before which newspapermen would be

RUSSIAN PICTURE IS
TYPICAL SOVIET STORY

Yesterday a small group gathered in
the Hippodrome Theater, K street near
Ninth, to witness q preview Of the
Russian made talking picture, Golden

produced by the Workers Of the U. 8.
Soviet Union. This film, brought here
by the washington Theater Guild, a
group endeavoring to bring Russian,
French and German pictures to WASH.
ington and establish theater devoted
to exhibiting them, proved to be typical
of the creed of the Union In that It
presented a well-woven story OF Russian
peasantry before the revolution and the
Five-Year Plan.
viewing this picture from the stand
point Of the artistry Of its actors, cine
matcgraphy and dictatorship, one can
understand why such films have been
accorded some recognition in New YORK.
Throughout Golden Mountains" runs
delightful background OF pre-war RUS
sian folk music and more recent com
positions by Shostakovitch Of the staff
of the Red Putilov' factory in Lenin-
grad. where the film was produced. Its
theme Is that Of the social problem
under which Russia labored after the
World War and Is combined in an effort
to explain one Of the tangles OF its
present day life. with depletion Of the
awe and fear the peasant class held for
Russia Matuska" and their subsequent
revolt
Pehr Petrovitch, played by one OF the
workers, Is its hero-a peasant who
came to Leningrad to find the "moun-
tains Of gold and rivers Of wine" sung
of so often in folk songs. He finds only
hard work and little pay, but he re-
fuses to join other workers In protest
Seeking to win his support, the factory
owner presents him with silver watch
with chimes that tinkle on the hour.
Pehr Petrovitch is delighted until he
discovers the factory owner Is the same
master" from whose oppression he IS
trying to escape. Disillusioned and
angry. he then joins forces with the
revolving faction and swears future
loyalty.
Whether or not the guild will meet
with success in its endeavor Is highly
problematical, for it is beginning under
two ificulties-midnight shows and
finding a suitable place to present these
films. Golden Mountains" will be
shown again tonight at 1880.
