Miss Pinchot, it seems, is a

"Sequoia" !
RatimQ: Excellent

hULLILY. G.CCCTL6ILC
Produced by Metro O-GOIdwyn-Maye
Featuring Jean: Parker. Directed by
Chester Franklin. Based on Vance
HOt's "Malibu." Screen play by Ann
Cunningham, Sam Armstrong and
Carey Wilson. Photographed by
Chester A. Lyons. Supervised by John
w. COnsidine, Jr.
It would be difficult and ex-
tremely unfair to class "Se-
quota" with other wild animal
pictures, yet it must come un-
der this classification. Still, it
is so far superior, not alone in
actual thrills, but in the deli
cate handling, the unusual
methods employed to capture
the so-called freedom of the
woods" and the great amount
of patience it undoubtedly re-
quired to undertake such a tre-
mendous, vital task.
"Sequoia" is the story of a
young deer and his natural out
door enemy, the puma. Their
existence in the High Sierras
might not sound, at least on
paper, terribly exciting, but it
is-decidedly so! How they are
taught to love one another, how
they never forget a kindness
and how they save one another
all goes to make one of the
most enjoyable and exciting an
imal pictures ever screened.
Special mention should go to
Chester Franklin, the director,
for his indomitable patience,
his sympathy with his trying
subjects and the most interest
ing manner in which he told
his story. Credit, too, should
go to Associate Producer John
w. ConSidine, Jr., for his cour-
age to battle the speedy pro-
duction bosses who must have
fumed at the mere thought of
taking two years to make one
feature (Note: Filming delays
were due to the fact that the
story required the animals to
grow up for the final Sc

Jean Parker, Russell Hardie,
Samuel S. Kinds, Paul Hurst

HAVANA. Cuba, Feb. 10
(UP). - Cheered by frightened
sugar prospects. the Mendieta
government spurred its program
for political reorganization and
economic rehabilitation today.
President Carlos Mendieta de-
clared that he was "mostly opti-
mistic" that Cuba would be as
signed a "helpful quota" Enact
ment of the sugar legislation re-
quested by President Roosevelt
Thursday would mark a long step
toward the return of prosperity
in Cuba, he said.
The suggested allotment of l.
944,OOO short tons. although not
as large as some had hoped, was
believed sufficient to put Cuba's
sugar industry back on its feet,
and Cuban recovery depends al
most entirely on market for her
chief crop. Sugar grinding was
expected to increase rapidly from
the present 80 per cent operation
of sugar centrals.
After definite settlement of the
sugar assignment, President Men
dieta indicated he would study
limitation of the 1884 Cuban
crop.

INDICTMENTS
ANTICIPATED
IN AIR PROBE
Grand Jury Investigating
Army Contracts; One of
Three Inquiries

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. (UP).
Profits of private airplane COM
panies on small army contracts
have run up to 100 per cent,
Brig. Gen. H. C. Pratt, assistant
chief of the army air corps, told
the house military affairs COM
mittee yesterday.
Assistant Secretary Of War
Woodring had told the committee
that he did not consider airplane
profits excessive though he con-
coded that the average profit on
army contracts from 1927 thru
1898 was 1913 per cent. In the
last three years he said, the aver
age has been only SO per cent.
He said that when big profits
were found to have been made by
specific companies, subsequent
contracts with those companies
were drawn up So that the profits
were reduced.
Admiral C. j. Peoples, chief of
the navy department procurement
division, told a house naval sub
committee that he thought bids
for navy air equipment should
be advertised. publicly and award
ed to the lowest bidder to avoid
excessive profits.
While the two Investigations
continued, a grand jury heard
testimony of five army officers
on methods of contract award
under the $10,OOO,0OO public
works army motorization pro-
gram. The grand jury which has
heard about a score of witnesses
including Woodring probably will
continue it's investigation through

nett said. 1t was reported au-
thoritatively that about five in
dictments were being considered.
