NRA Administrator Planning
to Continue Studies in
Hollywood
BY International News Service

Defending high salaries in the
motion picture industry after a
Six-months study, NRA Division
Administrator Sol A. Rosenblatt
today was preparing to return to
the Pacific Coast to continue his
study of a business which he de-
clared "haS made no material
progress in setting the production
side of the house in order"
The report made to Recovery
Administrator Hugh s. johnson
lists annual salaries for actors as
high as $315,000, with So actors,
directors, producers and execu-
tiveS receiving in excess Of $780,
900 q year. The highest paid
writer receives a salary Of 81, 800.
Mr.. Rosenblatt recommended
the indefinite suspension Of pro-
visions in the motion picture code
relating to salaries and "Star
raiding." He suggested q COM
mittee be named to study these
and other questions, but observed
that unique artistic and creative
talent is the "bone and marrow"
Of the industry.
He reported that:
"The intangibIes Of human
talent, not cellulOid, constitute
the basic ingredient Of the en-
tertainment service offered to
the consuming public by the
motion picture industry. Here,
as in no other artistic field, the
talents Of q unique personal
ity is the principle token by
which the exhibitor in the first
instance and the public, in the
second, are induced to purchase
the entertainment products Of
fered by the producer"
Though he attacked the "star"
system as a whole, Mr.. Rosen-
blatt declared for the artist him.
self, saying "as a matter Of prin.
ciple no salary is too high or ex.
cessive if the picture produced
by the individual receiving the
salary meets with unusual public
favor as result of unique direc-
ton or artistry"

PROBERS VETO
SEPARATE AIR
DEPARTMENT
Baker Board FavorS More
Planes for Army Under
Present Organization
By international News Service

By international News Service
A severe blow has been dealt
by the Baker board to the hopes
Of Army fliers for establishment
Of an independent air ministry.
Although recommending an
immediate increase in the mum.
ber of fighting planes, the board,
in its report to Secretary of War
Dern, is understood to have op.
posed establishment of an indie
pendent air body or separation
Of the Air Corps from control Of
the general staff.
DoOlittIe Backs Ministry
Only one member of the board,
Major Jimmy" Doolittle, noted
military and civilian flier, stood
up for the rank and file of the
Air Corps, who are convinced de-
velopment Of Americas military
air service is being stunted by
being divided under two branches
Of the Government and being
subject to control of high.rank-
ing military chiefs not familiar
with aviation.
Major Doolittle Is understood
to have objected to the boards
opposition to an independent air
body, and may make a minority
report.
Although concluding that Amer.
1ca'S military air service, includ-
ing both the Army and Navy,
rank in quality with the best in
the world, the board found that
the Air Corps has not an ade-
quate number of fighting planes.
More Planes Asked
Recommendation is made for
immediate expansion of the Air
Corps to bring the total number
OF Army planes to around $500.
The Army now has between 1900
and 1,40O machines.
The board also found that the
Air Corps has been spending too
much time in noncombat train
ing, such as observation and trans
port work.
Headed by former Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker, the board
was created by Secretary of War
Dern to ascertain what was wrong
with Americas military air ser.
vice. Secretary Dern took this
step after widespread criticism of
the IL fatalities which marked
the Army's effort to handle the
nations air mail during the
period that commercial contracts
were cancelled by the AdminiStra-
ton.
