HOLLYWOOD, Sept. .5.-By
these commandments shall We
make your way in Hollywood,
kiddies, and with them may We
avoid the pitfalls which beset the
path of fame.
William A. Wellman, who has
had no little experience in work
ing with screen children, and
soon will direct Selznick Inter
nationals THE Adventures Of
Tom Sawyer" yesterday preached
such a sermon in Hollywood. He
laid down 40 commandments" "
which, if followed, may lead the
FINLAND child to the Promised
Land of Fame.
With his experience augmented
by the task of interviewing thou
sands of boys and girls, in the
studios search for Tom SawyerS,
Becky Thatchers, Huckleberry
Firms and all the other Mark
Twain characters. Wellman ex-
pounded his 10 "don'ts," which
run as follows:
/. Thou shalt not think thy
director is a prop. Mothers
artful coaching thyself abhor.
Thy director is thine master
and tutor, not mother.
2. Thou shalt not act "cute,"
or pout in petty rebellion.
3. Heed not the subtle Whis-

per of artful flattery, which
turns the head, distorts the
vision of the young.
4. Thou shalt not imagine
thyself Freddie Bartholomew
or a Shirley Temple, for grease
paint maketh not such pat
terms.
S. Beware the desire to "act."
Be thyself. IT'S enough.
6. Flaunt not thy knowledge
before the multitude, nor pa
rade thy fame as the bantam
Swaggers DER the walk. The
flight of modesty precedeS the
flight of fame itself.
7. Read with interest, but
not conviction, the praisery OF
the public press; 1t beSpeaks
what has gone before, and in
vites the unwary to doze on the
triumphS of the past.
8. Shirk not the advice of the
experienced. Lend thine ears
all willingly to helpmateS
round the set.
8. Thou shalt not neglect thy
studies, for knowledge improv-
eth the juvenile mind. and thus
helpeth thy career itself.

Inquiry Into Pension Idea of
Chiropodist to Follow
0ARP Check.
BY MAX STERN
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The
Pope PLAN for pensioning all
Americans at SIS, and increasing the
pensions as they grow older, is
scheduled to follow the Townsend
plan before the Bell Committees
searchlight.
Fathered by Or" j. E. Pope, a
Tulsa chiropodist, who in the past
has promoted various schemes, this
plan has been operating throughout
the South and Southwest with sue
cess second only to that of the
Townsend plan. 1t has been win
ming thousands of supporters among
the Negroes and whites of Okla
homa, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and
Illinois, and word comes from the
deep South that organizers are
transforming the cotton belt in
large numbers.
DR." Pope was first to see gold
''in them thar hills" He began pro-
noting his scheme full year ahead
VI LIT. r. T.. townsend.
A Virginian, he moved to Arkan-
sas, then to Texas, then to Okla
homa. In the spring of 1882 he
launched his National Old-Age
Pension Association.
Sells Eight Page Tabloid
His method is not to organize
clubs or collect dues from members.
He prints and sells an e:aht-page
tabloid called The National Forum
and Federal Old Age Pension Ad-
Vocate. 1t sells for dollar a year
cash, not StampS-and the two-bit
pieces come tumbling in. DIR" Pope
claims circulation of 100000. but
he says he has "a lot of unpaid
subscriptions"
Under the Pope Plan, Americans
are offered Federal pensions of $50
at the age of SIS; $40 from so to IS:
$50 for all past IS, regardless of
income or worth" No mention is
made of how the money is to be
raised.
DR." Pope is sleek and middle
aged, and has sanctimonious air.
About two years ago Rep. Wright
Patman Cd, Tex told DIR" Pope's
life story on the floor of the House.
He said that during a quarter CEN
tury Pope had been arrested and
convicted twice, and another time
indicted, for misuse of the mails and
frauds of various kinds.
Sent to Leavenworth
He was convicted in 1904 at Hous-
ton, Tex, and sent to Leavenworth
for Is months. In 1923 he was ar
rested at Fort Worth and pleaded
guilty to misuse of the mails in an
oil swindle, served so days and paid
a $500 fine. In 1927 he was arrested
IN Denver and indicted for a stock
selling scheme, taking in over s1O.-
O00."
The indictment" added Rep
Patman, was dismissed because
Pope had evidently reformed and
