Commenting on testimony of Jay
A. Mount, former superintendent OF
air maintenance, who blamed on the
bureau the crash which killed Sen
ator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico,
johnson said:
1--WE feel we can pretty well dispose
of Mr.. Mount
Mount was interrupted by shouted
''that's a lie" when he told the Sem
ate Committee that he had been
warned that an effort would be made
to smear" his private life If he testi-
fed.
Rex Martin, assistant director of

l1clty break for a show than this
build-up for the Lewis novel. Mayer
who insists the script, completed BY
Howard three weeks ago, has beer
on the shelf "for financial reasons, >
today was quoted in Hollywood:
If all this talk continues, perhap.
We will find it profitable to make the
picture at once"
Lewis stands to gain nothing
through the publicity except the good
will which might develop in the breasts
OF Hollywood producers If 1T Can't
Happen Here" should prove a sensa-
ton at the box office. The red-haired
Nobel prize winner sold the rights to
the novel outright to Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer.
Reich Spokesman Comments,
A German spokesman who hung the
the tag of Communist on Lewis de-
clared the United States avoided a pro-
test from Berlin by the ban.
II never heard of the book" he
admitted, "but Lewis is a Communist,
II the film had contained any slurs
on National Socialism, we would have
to protest Immediately. 1t is very
friendly of America to halt such a
film"
The National Social party is the
of1lcial name of the Nazi party.
In Italy an official more familiar
with the work exclaimed:
Il read the book and found 1t full
Of nonsense. We are glad the film
industry has seen fit to halt the
spread Of such propaganda"
An Italian fiction writer, Lucil
Dambra, gave his critical summation:
Every people has its ideas and
its poets, but the cinema should not
use its universal language to divide
men politically. Rather it should
serve to unite humanity"

would be trained with the British and
assist that army in Flanders
Instead, he complained, five Ameri-

desiring to monopolize the Americans

principal friends.

West extension and sell the proper
ties
An examiner took testimony last
week at Jacksonville in the petition
to the I. c. c.. and the approval order
was issued here without formal argu-
ments before the commission itself.
A Public Works Administration loan
of So, 500 900 to the toll and bridge dis
