In a roadside pull-up along
reach of New Jersey yesterday the
vista included a seldom seen city
sight-a wood chopper. The tech
nique of wood chopping has changed
but little since Ohio days. The
chopper still spends most of hi time
knocking the handle into place. He
selected each slat with infinite care,
studying between licks at great
length, and gathering strength, one
supposes, for the next whang AT
about the fourth smite he was stuck,
driving the blade in so deep he
could not get out. He seemed utter
" floored. Evidently he had put
everything he had into that blow.
But. thank Providence, he had
enough energy left to lean on the
handle. 1t was somehow discour-
aging to see a fellow put every mole
cule of vim into a haymaker such
as that and see it go sour. When

to wait it out like big league batters

David Lamson, four times tried

San Quentin's death house, is
mildly surprised that RKO-Radio

ITS battling" said Lamson, who
is collaborating with Christy Ca
banne and John Twist. MY book
had no plot whatever, yet here We
have one, and not so bad, either"
Answer is that the screenplay is
MT Lamson STORY at all, except
in descriptive detail, but a slam
bang bighouse tale of young man
framed into death row by bandits,
and aced out by a newspaper editor
and a criminologist who does his
duty even though he loses his gal.
At present it looks like Edmund
Lowe for the crime-buSter, and
Lyle Talbot for the victim. RKO
has tried and failed to borrow
Robert Taylor, Fred MacMurray
and Robert Montgomery for the
lead part.

HOLLYWOOD, June IS. U.p -
Will H Hays organization for keep
ing the movies limpid is furroWing
its broWs over whether the Toron-
to, Canada, baby derby is nice
Harlan Thompson, Paramount
producer, brought up the awkward
question seeking an official okay
for a picture to be. based on the
race started by an eccentric Tor
onto sportsman who willed $5O0,OOC
to the mother who should bear most
children in the ten years following
his death.
Thompson has bought story
called I'll Leave 1t To YOU" by
Grant Garrett, and should the
Hays thumb turn up he'll retitle
it Baby Derby" and steer under
forced draft into the wake of pub
licity that follows the final year OF
the real race.
The Toronto derby ends at mid
night next October 81, just about
the time when a picture placed in
production now would be hitting
the Marques.
Position of the Hays organization
is delicate. Should permission be
refused, Hays ready consent to an
other epic of the birthrate in the
province of Ontario, C'The Country
Doctor" featuring the Dionne quin-
tuplets), will inevitably be recalled.
On the other hand, 10 boil it
down to words of one syllable, null
tiplication for revenue only has its
difference from accidental prol-
ificity.
Still from another point Of view,
a Hays refusal to sanction the opus
is bound to make two other guys
sore. Benito Mussolini and Adolph
Hitler must certainly regard it as
Hollywood attack on their pet
theories.

Senator William E. Borah, former
chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee. agreed with the
National Brotherhood of Potters to-
day that something should be done
about importation of chinaware and
pottery from Japan.
Last Friday, the union in conven-
ton here, sent the Idaho Senator a
telegram describing the Japanese Fed
Grafton of Pottery Exporters as a mo-
nopoly and demanding" it be barred
from doing business in the United
States.
Senator Borah replied today, II
agree with you in letter and spirit;
you can count on me to assist in
every way possible with your de-
Inands"
The union quoted the Federal Tariff
Commission as saying IS per cent of
the pottery sold in the United States
came from Japan and the pottery
workers there receive less than 81
for 60-hour work week.
Our immigration laws" the unions
message read, prevent entry into
our country of Asiatics, yet the Tariff
Commissions report shows that the
japanese monopoly yearly ships into
the United States the product of at
least 5000 of these workers at total
landed costs which are less than the
