NEW YORK Aug. 31.-The war
~ of words between Senator
Huey Long and Gen. Hugh S.
Johnson that so entertained the
nation last spring ragged anew
today with such epithetS Is Hon
orable High-Sitting Bull Johnson
and Big Breeze of the Bayous."
The combatants met face to face
so to speak. Gen. Johnson bis
tered Long over one radio station
from $3.50 to 9 p. m. last night,
and Long counter-attacked from
another station 80 minutes later.
They quoted Scripture regarding
WPA policies with foul fluency
and each coined alliterative
phrases of abuse to describe the
other.
Long was imported by heads Of
American Federation of Labor To-
Gals to aid in publicizing their
fight against the security wage
of the WPA. Smarting from state
ments that his closing congress
sional filibuster had wrecked pro-
grams for social security and Ia
Dor protection, Long made the
most of his labor label.
Gen. Johnson. New York WPA
administrator, took some steam
from the Senator's punches by
announcing in his speech that
beginning tomorrow wages Of
WPA employees in the lowest clas-
sification will be raised from $50
to $6O.5O, ard a majority of other
employees will be raised 10 per
cent later.
II Il Il
TINE general devoted most of
Il his time to a defense of WPA
policies that have caused a con-
slant succession of strikes, demon
STATIONS and denunciations from
labor leaders since July. He was
particularly perturbed by blame
going his way for the security"
wage.

"One man killed most of what

Speak up, Huey, and answer to
labor loud and strong all about
this before you don the mantle of
a champion"
He recalled angrily the protests
against an order that men who
refused WPA jobs be dropped
from home relief rolls.

there are about nine different
cartoons, including Mickey

AS the production method on

The pictures are about $50 feet
in length. And. although Mr.. Dis
ney makes only 10 of them each
year. he employs a staff of 300
persons.
THE first step comedies with
L that of a feature picture. A
story must be written. Then it
is put into regular scenario form,
with every detail of the action
explained.
Different scenes are then hand
ed to the animators for drawing.
They sketch the key drawings,
usually every third one. leaving
the others for their assistants.
All drawings then r sent to
the linking department, where a
corps Of artists goes owe the
penciled sketches with ink. Trac-
ing is the next step. Every draw
ing must be traced in ink on a
sheet of celluloid. Then it is
painted.
The next job is to match the
various sets of drawings which be-
long together. AS a rule, four
sheets of celluloid are combined to
make one complete picture for
photographing. For instance, if
Mickey, Pluto, and Donald Duck
are walking along a dusty road,
n artist draws Mickey. another
Pluto, a third Donald Duck, and
a fourth the background.
After being traced, they are as
sembled and photographed. Six
teen of these composite pictures
are needed to make one foot of
film.
THERE'S virtually no cutting
il or editing on a cartoon after
it's finished. Since the work is
slow and painstaking, that is all
done beforehand.

TIME skin occasionally becomes exceedingly sensi-
l. tive to certain dye substances. The result is an
eruption or irritation which appears every time the
skin comes in contact with anything containing the
dye. Other skins are sensitive to soap, water, heat,
friction, and similar i~rritants.
1t is possible to find out whether the skin IS SEN
Sitive to such a substance by what is called the
patch test. However, this test can not be made with
out some understanding Of medical technic and
methods.
In the patch test a little of the substance which
is supposed to be bringing about the eruption IS
applied to the skin for "a hours. Thereafter the
skin will be found exceedingly irritated at the spot
WheTc tE3 application was made.
TINE substance most commonly causing irritation
l. in dyed hair, furs, and similar substances is a dye
preparation called paraphenylendiamlne or one OF
its oxidation products. In 1000 routine tests made by
one investigator, 4 per cent Of the persons tested
were shown to be sensitive to this substance.
Whereas fur and hair are most frequently dyed
with paraphenylendiamine other dyes may be used
for fabrics. When there is a sensltivity to a dyed
fabric, the doctor gets an indication of the fact by
the limitation of the eruption.
For instance, in case the dye is associated with
a dress or a frock, the eruption will be found limited
to the upper trunk and the arms, where the frock
is in contact with the skin.
The portions Of the skin not in contact, such as
those protected by shoulder straps. will be found free
from the eruption.
w T the irritation is caused by dye in the
w stockings, the hatband, the gloves. or some
SIMILAR article Of apparel. it will be found limited to
the regions covered by these articles.
OF course the first step in getting rid of such an
eruption is to discontinue the wearing of the garment
responsible.
The specialist in diseases of the skin also will
supply a lotion or ointment to p rent itching and
to aid healing.

Ter scale, they are made exactly
the same as feature pictures. The
principal difference lies in the
cost and gross receipts. The aver
age cost is SIS 900 and the average
return about $50 900.
Naturally. the stars of these
comedies receive lower salaries
than those in feature pictures. the
top being about $1,000 weekly. And
the pictures are usually made in
10 days.
One-reel musicals and novelties.
which are steadily gaining in
popularity. are now being pro-
duced by nearly all major COM
panies
Generally speaking, their pro-
duction follows the same line as
that of a feature. But they sell
dom use more than two sets and
are made in two or three days.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-08-31

T tSUALLY their actual produc-
- ton cost is around $4,000,
although the total cost is jumped
considerably when high-priced
persons must be engaged for
them. The Pete Smith shorts
come in this category, with Pete
probably receiving more than is
spent on the rest of the picture.
The same holds true when ar
important orchestra or vaudeville
headliner is featured.
Travelogs are of value princi-
pally because of the bit of wan
derlust that turks in most hearts.
An imaginative person can watch
them and actually belize, he is
going right along with the cam
eramen.
Very often the cameramen on
these little pictures have no def
mite assignments. They roam at
large, seeking unusual locales or
places of great scenic beauty.
Since the expense of taking
sound equipment with them would
be 500 great. they shoot with ST.
lent cameras. Explanatory re-
marks and background music are
added later in the studios here.

After the transaction as the
