LUMBER INDUSTRY
DONE WITH n. R. A.
Prediction Based on Recent
Objection of One Group
to Extension.

Refusal Of the lumber industry to
accept the new N. r. A. was pre-
dicted In lumber circles here.
The prediction was based on the
resolutions recently adopted and sub
mitted to the President by the
Southern Pine Association against
extension Of the national industrial
recovery act. While requesting the
President to permit N. r. A. to die,
the association, one Of the largest in
the lumber industry, made 1t clear
that II N. r. A. were revived that
group would have nothing to do with
1t.
1.-THE action OF the Southern Pine
Association clearly reflects the atti-
tude Of the majority Of the industry"
0 lumberman, who asked that his name
be withheld, said. when N. r. A. was
first started there was no industry in
the country more thoroughly sold on
the idea. It seemed the answer to
the problems Of cutthroat competition
which had been harassing the in
drstry for years. There has been o
marked change in that attitude
Although insisting the lumber In
dustry would ignore the new N. r. A.,
the spokesman predicted the result

 Sunday brings Clark Gable. Jean Harlow and Wallace Beery in China Seas," Waterbury's own Rosalind Russell, Lewis Stone, c. Aubrey Smith, Dudley Digges, Lil- Han Bond and Robert Benchley are in the supporting cast. It is Q story of adventure and romance, a story that teens with lusty action and abounds with strange emotion al qualities that brings them to- gether.
 The locale is. perhaps, the strangest and most fascinating yet seen cu the screen-the wild south- east coast of China, last stronghold of twentieth century pirates. It is a region of bowling tropical hurri- canes, and of strange. perils. All of these have their part in the film, the physical dangers providing a fitting background of the powerful human drama of fierce loves, bit- ter hates and sinister intrigue.
 China Seas'' is absorbing, thrilling entertainment and must be ranked as a contender for the best photoplay of the new season.
 The added feature will be Para mounts Smart Girl" starring Ida Lupino with Kent Taylor, Gail Pat rick and Joseph Cawthorn. Watch the consistent line of hits that play the Strand week after week!

STATE

For real enjoyment in screen en- tertainment don't miss the current program at Warner Brothers State of the Wasteland" and Harmony Lane." Here are two pictures well worth taking the time to see.
 Tomorrow brings the picture all Waterbury has been anxiously awaiting. 'Top Hat" starring the dancing favorites, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The musical score was written by Irving Berlin and is studded with song hits.
 Fro mthe opening scene to the final fadeout, it's & series of TO- mantle melodic and hilarious sur- prises.
 Astaire dances two versions of 'No Strings" novelty tap dance; he does solo specially, "Top Hat with q chorus of swagger young men; he sings Cheek to Cheek" and dances 1t with Ginger Rogers; he sings Isn't This Lovely Day" and dances it with Miss Rogers; the latter sings Get Thee Behind Me, Satan,' and the two dance the big climactic number, the "Picco- limo" with a chorus of sixty.
 Edward Everett Horton, Helen Frederick, Erik Rhodes and Eric Blore head the supporting cast.
 Manager Julia M. Smith has booked a sparkling surrounding program to accompany this out standing feature attraction which will remain at the State for one week. Evening prices will be in cf- feet all day Saturday and Sunday.
 Attention is called to the fact that Registration Night" will be held on Friday next week instead of Wednesday as is the usual cus- tom. This change is made because capacity crowds are anticipated during the first half of the week and many regular "Registration Night" patrons might not be able to gain admission.

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New Orleans, Sept. 20 - Fifteen minutes before he was shot, Huey Long was feeling well pleased with himself and the way the legislature was complying with his plans to clinch his grasp of dictatorship. He grinned at some of his henchmen and affectionately slapped the shoulder of short, swart Allen J. Ellender.
 You're the guy, Allen-you're the next one!"
 That was intended as the King ernor of Louisiana. If young Dr. Carl Weiss. Jr., had not been lurking outside in the corridor nervously lingering an automatic pistol, Long's remark likely would have been tantamount to Ellen der's formal election.
 But the Kingfish is dead and there are a great many people alive who do not share his ad- miration for and confidence in the down. country lawyer and potato grower.
 That Ellender is smart, no one questions. Ambitious, certainly; there are whispers in hotel corri- dors and bitter charges in con- ference rooms that he may be a good deal more ambitious than he is loyal.
 As for political acumen, that will be estimated better when 1t is seen how he conducts himself in this personal crisis.

For added meas ure there will be Irwin Cobb, an- other national funster; Eugene Pal lette, the husky-voiced comedian; and for the beauty part, Ann Shir- ley; Berton Churchill, as the evan gelist; and good old reliable Stepin Fetchit, with his drawl.
 To make this program an out standing one a Todd-Kelly comedy is listed. This popular pair of knock-about comedicnnes will kill themselves to get laugh. Another accompaniment will be the popular Walt Disney Silly Symphonies in Cookie Carnival, and oddity with Pete Smith. The Metro News and others combine to make this pro- gram for the weekend "the tops'' as far as shows are concerned.
 Get down to see this show. If you don't you will miss one treat that you owe yourself. There is never a dull moment in the entire show, and the whole program is a gem of entertainment. Remember this will be shown for four days only-Saturday to Tuesday.

As speaker, he ran the Louisi- ana House of Representatives with an iron hand, was stern and able parliamentayian, and usually managed to accomplish precisely what Huey wanted done.
