BLOCK BOOKING
BAN URGED IN CODE
Neighborhood Theater Men
Fight to Eliminate Prac-
tiCe Under N. R. A.

BY the Associated Press.
The neighborhood theaterS fought to-
day to have the proposed motion picture
industry code ban the practice OF block
booking.
Abram F. Myers of the Allied States
Association of Motion Picture Elk
hibitors, leading the argument for In
clusion of an anti-block booking clause.
declared at the competition code hear
ing today the motion picture industry
was perhaps the only business IN the
world where the buyer. to obtain some
thing of value to him. must accept
other products of no value
The right to buy what the independ-
ent theater owner needs, Myers said, is
fair assertion of right, and the denial
of it certainly constitutes unfair COM
petition" He said his group did not
propose that pictures be purchased only
singly. but that he believed the code
should provide that the exhibitor did
not have to take what he did not want.
Myers said if the anti-block booking
clause was included in the permanent
elimination" clause giving exhibitors
the right to reject certain percentage
of the offering of distributors and pro-
ducers
The independent exhibitors also asked
a provision for regulation OF the dis
tribution of foreign pictures.
Generally" Myers said, foreign pic
lures are unacceptable to American
theaters because the theme and tempo
are not familiar and the cast is not
known, The distributors say that in
order for them to sell in the foreign
market. they must buy in return"
He said any loss incident to this pur-
chase of foreign pictures was passed
along to the independent exhibitors.
In discussing the morality clause OF
the proposed code, Myers said:
The theater owners are not REFORM
ers or moralists: they are interested in
good picturs for the box office receipts.
Showing in the neighborhoods they do.
you will realize that the showing Of sa-
lacious pictures would be very unproflt-
able business We ought not to be re-
quired to accept pictures which violate
the morality code"

CHILDREN THRIVE
At HEALTH CAMP
Group of IS Gain Over Pound
a Month During
Summer.

The Children's Health Camp of the
tuberculosis Association, Fourteenth
and Upshur streets. which closed today,
established a record of more than a
pound per month average gain for the
SIS boys and girls who were in their
care during the Summer.
At least seven of these children were
found by the X-ray to be entitled to
complete recovery certificates, the pre-
liminary report, submitted by Miss Olive
Ward. superintendent Of the camp,
disclosed.
Mrs. Ernest r. Grant, in an official
statement on behalf of the tuberculosis
Association, said: This demonstration
OF what three months of outdoor living
with proper care, plenty of wholesome
food, enforced long rest periods and
supervised play occupation for these SIS
children. shows most impressively what
can be done for all of the~l 200 Wash
ington children known to have tuber-
cu.osis infection. 1t is the earnest hope
of the tuberculosis Association and its
many thousands of friends and sup
porters, that this urgent need in the
fight for the protection of children from
this communicable disease may be met
next year by the erection of larger
camp with adequate permanent equip
ment for several hundred children. A
suitable site for this proposed larger
camp is now available without addi-
tional cost on the large tract OF land
owned by the District government on
the Defense Highway in Maryland,
where the Chidren's Sanator.um is
now nearing completion The sana-
torium will provide care for $50 children
in need of disqualification. But the
camp serves as preventorium where
children suffering from tuberculosis in
an incipient stage can be rapidly re-
stored to good health before the ravages
of the disease necessitate long periods
of disqualification"
A farewell camp fire and special treat
for the children was held at the camp
last night.

mist Party had had absolutely moth
ing to do with the fire.
Further witnesses, chiefly former
Communists from the ore mountains,
confirmed the increased purchases Of
weapons and increased defense train
ing, also admitting, however, as the
previous witness had done, that these
preparations were meant only for the
purpose Of preventing the Storm
Troops march on Berlin. Dimitroff,
again endeavoring to question the
witnesses, was forbidden to do so by
the judge.
"Is there a special prohibition for
meP" Dimitroff demanded.
The judge replied, "Yes!"
A Lunatic Testifies ~
One witness for the prosecution
turned out to be former lunatic,
still under treatment for insanity.
This discovery as well as the tes-
timony Of previous witnesses, caused
the public prosecutor to give up his
plans for the examination of addi-
tional witnesses.
Dinlitroff demanded that all wit
neSses be asked whether in January
and February, under the first Hitler
government, measures were taken for
any uprising, whether or not the
storm troops were already armed and
ready in barracks, and whether work
ers had been provided with arms for
defense. The public prosecutor pro-
tested these questions and the senate
backed him by permitting only the
questions pertaining to the measures
taken in preparation for the expected
driving underground of the Commu-
mist Party. Kaltenberg stated that
preparations had been made for the
possible prohibition of protest DEM
onstrations and political mass strikes.
There was no individual terror, he
said, but merely preparations for IL
legal work. Other witnesses gave
similar testimony. completely refuting
the Nazi charge that the -ConnsHris5-
Party was preparing, for an armed
insurrection.
