BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Staf Correspondent

Hollywood.-xBy the simple act of placing his name on a sheet of paper the other day, Clark Gable became one of the highest paid film actors in Hollywood.
 His old contract still had more than a year to run, but Clark thought the $2,500 weekly salary it called for was insufficient. So he went to Louis B. Mayer and ex- pressed desire for more money.
 "Sure, Clark, anything you want," replied Mayer. "Sign a new contract for five years and your starting salary will be $3,50O 8 week."
 A $1,000-a-week raise not being a matter to be taken lightly, Gabie put his signature on the dotted line. It was Mayors pen he used, but it now is his most prized pos session. -
 And why not? The pen that signs contract calling for start ing salary of $3,5OO weekly and graduating to $6,000 weekly should be prized. There are others whose salaries are higher - when they work. But Clark's comes 52 weeks a year.
 Gables signing of the new con- tract is in itself big story. But to me there is an even bigger story in the reason behind that piece of paper. Why was Mayer so willing to give this star such a large in- crease when he could easily have held the actor to the terms of the old contract? i.H 4t
 The, answer to that is that the M-G-M executive was so anxious to tie up Clark for a longer period of time that he was willing to make almost any concession. And this despite the fact that Gable already has enjoyed three years of tre- mendous popularity. Nevertheless, Mayer believes he is good for at least another five years.
 Started at $2OO Week
 There's a reason for that, too --the man behind the star.
 With all his success, Clark hasn't changed bit since the day he signed his first contract calling for $200 a week. Just because he now is the second most popular star in
