A picture within picture may
aptly describe James Cagney 5
latest for Warner Bros, LADY
Killer" which is now playing at
the Carolina theatre, for in Ii
Cagney appears as motion pie
ture star.
While many in Hollywood rec
ognize in the role that Cagney
plays the counterpart of anothcl
male star in pictures, who actual
ly rose to screen prominence by
the very methods that Cagney
uses to attain stardom in Lady
Killer" the important feature
about the latest Cagney opus is
the fact that in his new role he is
called upon to portray as a movie
actor the very roles that has led
to his present popularity in pic
lures.
Mae Clarke, who two years ago
helped Cagney spring to fame in
Public Enemy by standing for
the pushing of grapefruit into
her face. again is on the receiv-
ing end Of the typical Cagneyan
mannerisms when it comes to ham
ding refractory "moll" sweet

COAST SHIPS

Two Battle Seas and Third
Is Aground On Pa
cific Coast

PORTLAND, Ore. Dec. 49,
UP) -WindstormS that reached
hurricane proportions caused two
vessels off Pacific shores to send
sos calls yesterday and drove an
other aground in The Columbia
river.
The lumber freighter Henry L.
Wilton, 454S ton vessel owned
by the Union Sulphur Co., Inc,
and carrying a crew of 80 men
enlisted chiefly in New York, was
in distress off YaQuina Head Ore
gon near Newport.
sos calls were sent out by the
Wilton. Captain J. Sundberg or
dered the deck cargo Of lumber
jettisoned early yesterday after
battling winds that reached We
locity of IS miles an hour. Part
of the cargo was swept overheard.
The Wilton last night reported
its shaft alley flooded with water,
and water also in other parts OF
the vessel.
The Lilo. General Petroleum
tanker, was % miles from the
Writon and had the wind behind
it as it drove through towering
waves to aid the vessel. The
Italian steamer California also
was proceeding to the scene.
The coast guard cutters Che
Ian. out of Puget Sound, and Red
wing, from Columbia river, speed
ed to help the Wilton.
The Redwing left the lumber
freighter Charles L. Wheeler, a
Mccormick line vessel, aground
on the Washington side of San
Island in the Columbia river. The
Sheeler, carrying a crew of 20
men, was driven onto the island
beach after failing IN an attempt
to anchor and ride out the storm,
The RedwiEg's officers believed
the Wheeler was in no immediate
danger of breaking up, although
it was pounded by unusually high
river waves. Two tugs were stand
ing by and expected to float the
Wheeler at high tide if the wealth
er moderates.
An sos was received from a
small Japanese tramp ship, the
Ychi, plying between Japan and
Hawaii.
The Yuci radioed she was 800
miles west of Honolulu and in

EXTEND LIFE
OF AUTOCODE

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. CUP.
The automobile code. due to ex-
pire December 81. has been ex-
tended until next June at the re-
ouest of the Automobile Cham
nor Of Commerce, code authority
for the industry, Recovery Ad-
ministrator Hugh s. Johnson re-
vealed Sunday.
This is the second code TO be
extended at the request OF the
industry involved. The Amerl-
can Iron and Steel Institute
which serves as code authority
for the steel industry, made
similar request and was granted
an extension. The NRA cOnsld-
cred that these two requests, rep
resenting two of the nation $
greatest industries proved the
value and the SoundnesS OF the
code system devised by the ad-
minlstration as a path toward IN
dustria! recovery.
The automobile code was ex-
tended without alteration. The
national labor board had asked
that when the temporary code
expired, it be amended TO elimi-
nate the so-called merit clause IN
the collective bargaining prOvl-
sion. This provided that despite
the collective bargaining guaran-
tees of section IA of the nation
al industrial recovery act, en-
ployers should have the right to
hire, discharge or advance en-
ployes on a basis of individual
merit. irrespective of union af-
filation.
General Johnson took the at
titude that President Roosevelt,
in an explanatory statement last
fall explaining this clause, had
made it clear that it could not be
used as a subterfuge to permit
discharge of members of unions
not approved by automobile COM
panies. In view of this state
ment, regarded as having pulled
the teeth from the merit clause,
the NRA decided it was unneceS-
sary to seek any change in the
code before its extension.
In view of the presidents set
by the automobile and steel in
dustries, it appeared probable
that other major industrial codes
made effective on a temporary
basis also would be extended. No
requests for alterations have been
received from major industries as
far as could be learned.

SALES TAX IS SAID TO
CUT EXPENSE HERE

iContinued from page one)
county for the first three months
are below the average collections
for the entire year as our collec-
tions are being improved from
month to month. But, after al
lowing for the reasonable in
crease in the sales tax collections
in your county which are antlcl-
pated, it will be observed that
the property owners in your
county are relieved Of properly
taxes in the considerable amount
shown and that the sales tax col
lections in your county Will De
far less than the property tax re-
lief afforded.
The sales tax payments are
made by all of the people IN the
county rather than those VINO
happen to be owners Of property.
If the relief afforded property
taxpavers in your county IS not
fnIIv reflected in the actual lev
los made in your county for 1888
taxes it would not be because
the relief was not afforded by
1888 legislation. it would be on
account of levies being made for
purposes which were not included
in the levy of 1882 or for in
creases in debt service require
ments or relief work. In saying
this, we are not criticising any
local authorities as situations
have arisen in some counties on
account of debt service require
ments, relief purposes, ETC., for
which local authorities have
found that they must make levles
for county purposes other than
schools or in consideration of re-
lief conditions in their county.
In 1882 property owners in the
state were assessed S11,476, $40
for school operating cost. This
is now entirely eliminated. In
1882 the state was required to
contribute approximately Sl2,-
| 100000 added to above amount
l. for school operating purposes. In
doing this, in a two-year period,
! the state incurred deficit OF
over 100000.
In 1892 property owners IN the
state were assessed Sll,476,64O
for school operating cost. This
| is now entirely eliminated. In
1882 the state was required to
contribute approximately $12,,
| 100000 added to above amount
| for school operating purposes. In
doing this, in a two-year period,
the state incurred a deficit OF
over $15,000,000.
BY enactment of the sales tax
and economies and consultations
| in operation of schools the state
lis on a sound financial basis, its
revenue now exceeding its ex-
penditures and property has been
entirely relieved of all operating
cost of schools.
As this information is doubtless
of interest to all of your people,
we will be pleased if you can
publish this statement in your
paper.
Very truly yours.

trary to published reports that the
codes had been submitted to the
president. they still were on the
desk of Deputy Administrator
Whiteside.
He added, howtver. that he .ex-
pected no delay and that the codes
would be sent to the White House
some time during the coming

Whiteside told the United Press
that he contemplated few minor

Johnson would not comment on
published reports that President
William Green of the American
Federation of Labor will demand
clear cut statement from the
recovery administration and the
national labor board outlawing
company-fnanced unions.
Green said that on Sept. 20 he
had filed many affidavits with the
recovery authorities charging that
corporations in every section of
the country were violating the
NRA labor provision by company
union activities. He charged no
action had been taken against
these corporations.
Johnson said an investigation
had failed to Substantiate labor's
charge and that he contemplated
no statement Of policy on COM
pany unions. He added however
that he would act if substantial
proof is offered that corporations
are making membership in COM
pany unions a condition of en-
ployment.
