filming of the first feature-length
movie starring the Dionne quin,
tupletS yesterday when Jean
Hersholt, who plays the role Of
the Doctor, slipped on the ice
covered rocks and strained his
leg.
DR.. Allan Roy Dafoe, real-life
counterpart of Hersholt'S film
role, examined the actors injury
and ordered him to bed, saying
he may not be able to work with
the quintuplets today. DR.. Da-
foe will decide today whether
Hersholt will be able to go on
with his work.
Each days delay in the filming,
which was held up two days by

$4,000.
Nevertheless Direc tor Henry

R|CHM0NDFIRM
/ DEMANDS TEST
OFLAB0RACT

RICHMOND, Va. Dec. 6.-Term-
ing the national labor relations
act "indefenSible in the light OF
previous decisions of the United
States Supreme Court" attorneys
for the Parliamentary Marks
Clothing Company. of Richmond
today demanded of the National
Labor Relations Board an imme
diate decision on alleged violations
of the act by the company in
order that the conStitutionality
of the legislation can be tested in
the Federal courts.
They charged that the Gov.
ernment is deliberately delaying
decision on the issues.
On November 6, the company
was summoned before the Rich
mond branch of the Labor Rela-
tions Board to answer charges of
discharge of and discrimination
against workers for union activ-
ity. At that time, the company
offered to admit the allegations
of the complaint and refused to
submit it's records in order that
through the regular machinery
of the labor relations act the case
would be forced into the Federal
courts for adjudication.
1t was explained that the pur-
pose of the company. once the
ease was in Federal court, was to
contest the constitutionality of
the act. To date no decision has
been handed down by the board.
On November IS second COM
plant was filed against the COM
pany containing charges identical
with the first. The company's Of
fer to combine both cases to eX-
pedite a decision was opposed by
the union and the union likewise
refused to allow the company to
waive it's rights of croSS.examina-
ton and production of witnesses.
At the conclusion of yesterdays
hearing the company charged that
the union, by filing its second com
plant of November Is was pre-
venting the Labor Board from de.
Gliding the case, and that the Gov
ernment likewise is delaying the
decision unnecessarily.
