Dam AT BENT
CREEK WOULD
BOOST TAKES
Durham Tells Kiwanis SO
Pct. Increase Would
Have To Be Made

Construction of 11O-foot
storage dam at Bent Creek on the
French Broad river would remove
at least $5,4s2,O00 of taxables
from the records of Henderson
county and would increase the
present rate of 95 cents to about
S1.50, T. L. Durham, chairman of
the board of county commission
ers, told the Kiwanis club yester-
day.
Mr.. Durham was one of two
speakers invited by the clubs
committee on public affairs to
give their opinions of the proba-
BILE effects of the Tennessee Val
ley Authority's proposed activities
in the French Broad Valley. The
other speaker was G. D. White,
vocational agriculture teacher in
Mills River, whose "text" was
i that "Mills River land is too val
liable to be flooded"
Mr.. Durham and Mr.. White
were presented by j. T. Fain, who
said the French Broad dam prof.
ect should be of vital interest to
every local citizen, and that the
a., committee was bringing available
facts to the attention of the club
members and visitors so they
could determine to an extent just
how the welfare of the county
would be affected. Mr.. Fain
voiced strong opposition to pres
ent plans of iva in this connec-
ton, but said he believed the PEG.
ple of this and Pennsylvania and
Buncombe counties should COOP
crate fully in any revised plan
that would provide water storage
in the upper reaches of the river
valley and enable the valleys
farm land to be further developed
rather than inundated.
Mr.. Durham said that of the
county's eight townships, three
Mills River, Hooper's Creek and
Hendersonville = would be most
affected by water backed up by
the proposed dam, and that these
three townships represent S4.7
per cent of the taxable wealth of
the county. He estimated that
three-fourths of the valuations OF
Hooper's Creek and Mills River
townships and one-fourth of the
valuation of Hendersonville town.
ship would be wiped out, the es-
innate for each township being:

EUROPE BUYS
HUGE STORES
OF MUNITIONS
War Material Traffic Is
Enjoying an Almost
Wartime Boom
DECLARE FACTORIES
WORK DAY AND NIGHT
By WALLACE CARROLL
United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright, 1884, by U. P.

GENEVA, July 1S.-(UP).-
Huge orders for munitions are
being executed and delivered by
the major European manufacture
ers, according to reliable infor-
nation in diplomatic quarters.
The reports. made available to
the United Press, showed that
the arms merchants are enjoying
an almost wartime boom at the
moment when the commission of
the world arms conference is
seeking to complete treaty to
end the evils of the arms traffic.
Clandestine shipments of war
materials in huge quantities were
reported moving to Central Eu-
rope, the Far East and South
America.
Diplomats interested in an at
tempt to establish an arms en-
barge against Bolivia and Para
quay in their Gran Chaco war
charged that Italian arms factor
les are executing large orders for
Paraguay, including numerous
war planes. The same factories
were said to be shipping large
quaint; les of rifles and machine
guns to Austria and Hungary.
The Journal Des Nations says
this clandestine arms traffic is
assuming wider proportions since
Premier Benito Mussolini nego-
Ttiated new commercial accords
with Austria and Hungary, charg-
ing that cit was particularly in
tense during the period between
May "a and June g."
The same paper alleged that
spare parts for guns were being
delivered to a canning factory of
Manfred Weiss, located at Cepel,
near Budapest.
French factories likewise were
reported working day and night.
One French company reported
ly has been negotiating with
Turkey for a large order in the
event the signatories of the
Lausanne treaty allow Turkey to
fortify the Dardanelles.
Dispatches from the Balkans
say the British firm of Vickers,
Ltd, is negotiating with the Rou-
manian government to develop
the Roumanian arms industry.
In addition, the manufacturers
of war planes are benefitting by
large orders.

movie CAUSE
CHAMPIONED
Middle of the Road Group
Sees Reform Needs;
Would Be Moderate

NEW YORK, July IS. (UP)-
Intelligent lay opposition" to
religious leaders fighting to sub
Innate sex on the screen was
promised by a group which sought
incorporation as the first step IN
finding out what the average
movie-goer wants.
A certificate of Incorporation
was filed at Albany by the Asso-
citation for the Preservation of
the Freedom of Stage and Screen,
Inc. founded by I. Robert Bro
der, New York lawyer.
Broder explained the associa-
ton was formed to represent the
movie fan as opposed to his re-
ligious adviser. The lawyers idea
is that while priests, ministers and
rabbis have been eloquent about
indecency and salaciousness on
the screen, no one has bothered to
find out what the bulk of movie
patrons desire. He plans a nation
wide referendum.
eve agree with the church
groups that reforms in pictures
are necessary, up to certain
point" Broder said. owe admit,
that films must be entertaining
and in good taste. Many have not
been.
"But we are assuming that, as
a result of this movement for re-
form there may follow, as
logical, inevitable sequence, pro-
hibition of production and exhibit
ton of motion picture films SINH
lar to liquor prohibition and with
the same attendant evils. We
want to avoid those evils"
Concerning protection of chill
dren from overly sophisticated
Hollywood products, Broder sug-
gested:
"The juvenile problem can be
solved by having special films for
children either at special times in
the regular motion picture thea
tiers or at special places so desig-
mated for them" r

FILM BOOKING
IN BLOCKS TO
Be ABANDONED
Hays' Office Says Good
Taste Not To Be Offend
ed in Future

HOLLYWOOD, July 10. (ofJ.
Motion picture distributors OF III
major studios yesterday came 10
the rescue of theatre owners with
ruin through boycotts and censor
ship of films, and broke up their
system of ''block booking" on ali
films made prior to July 10. =,
The step probably will COS cost
producers more than S1O,OO0,oUo'
according to executives of the
Hays office, who said scores OF
films already released, when
have been prescribed by church
and other organizations, prooao-
" would not be shown IN nun
dreds of towns of the country,
1t was indicated that the
preaching of contracts between
distributors and exhibitors over
certain films to which strenuous
protest had been made, might
even extend past the July 10
date.
The exhibitor, who for years
has been at a disadvantage in his
dealings with the distributor, will
benefit greatly through the plan.
Should local censor boards or
church groups demand he not
show a certain picture, the eX-
hibitor for the first time will be
able to decline to take it under
his contract. Previously he was
forced to pay the rental charge
whether he used the picture or
not. +,
Under the "block booking" sys-
tenn. and exhibitor must take
practically the entire output of a
studio should he want the COM
nanv's best films. He must take
tbe good pictures with the bad,
and is permitted to refuse only
three or four of seasons out
put, which might total so or 60
films.
For 10 years the system has
been under attack by exhibitors
who claim they lost as much
money on the poor films as they
made on the best.
Meeting in New York City yes
terday heads of the distributing
companies cor ma agreed they would
grant exhibitors the right to omit
the exhibition of any of their
motion pictures released before
July Is, 1884, against which
there might be a genuine protest
on moral grounds. -
Furthermore, the exhibitor
would not be forced to pay for
the picture, even though he may
have contracted to show it under
terms of his booking arrange

Dear Sir:-You no doubt are

with the general plans for devel-
opment of the Tennessee Valley.
The writer is calling your atten.

and many other land owners and
citizens of Henderson and Tran
sylvania counties, hoping that we
may enlist your interest and in
, fluence in our plans, which we are
ready to submit to IVA, for a de-
velopment which will, we believe,
serve all the purposes of IVA de-
velopment and preserve the great
er part of the extensive valley OF
the French Broad and Mills riv-
ers. The people of these counties
stand ready to cooperate in these
developments with IVA and only
await the opportunity to bring an
alternate plan to the considera-
ton of the authorities, by the
adoption of which we believe
every end of the IVA can be at
tanned in this area without food

very beautiful farm land, in a re-

am writing to urge that your in
fluence be exerted to aid us in
securing hearing for our pro-

desire to place it before you.
AS you probably know, it has
been stated that IVA plans in

at or near Bent Creek, in Bun

erected there it will flood vast

JOHNSON UPHOLDS
PUBLISHERS" VIEWS

WATERLOO, Ia, July 49,
(UP).-The NRA has done more,
directly and indirectly, to help
the nations farmers than any
other single unit Of the recovery
program, NRA Administrators
Hugh s. Johnson told a farm
gathering here yesterday:
johnson emphasized, however,
that no one unit Of the program
could bring back prosperity, but
that recovery has to be accom-
plished through the combined eff
forts of all the various emergency
organizations set up by the adj
ministration in its fight against
the depression.
In pointing out to his listeners
that stories "about' subversive in
fiuences in our government are
lust plain bunk" thomson spoke
quite heatedly Of recent events IN
Germany.
Johnson said that Germany's
example of what can happen when
a government usurps power had
demonstrated to him that news
paper publishers were right in ar
guing that provisions should be
inserted in their NRA code
guaranteeing their constitutional
rights.
"Knowing the situation back
ward and forward, I say that
there Ia no reason for their
fears" johnson said, referring to
publishers. "But I see now more
clearly why these gentlemen were
apprehensive."
