FS the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, May o. - Sharp
words were flung today at the central
figure in Hollywood's film craft strike
The oral fireworks apparently
blasted reports that an immediate
peace settlement was in prospect.
Joseph M. Schenck, chairman OF
the film producers special Commit
tee on Labor Relations, denounced
Charles Lessing, head of the FEEDER
ated Motion Picture Crafts, as having
called the strike April 80 "to further
his personal, selfish interests"
Schenck accused Lessing OF mislead-
ing and misinforming the strikers
members of the federation. He as
serted the producers have been willing
to negotiate all legitimate demands
and called upon the workers still on
strike to end the walkout.
An equally strong statement, urging
strikers to purge themselves of Com
rade Charles Lessing and his innel
circle OF communistic troublemakers, 81
was issued by George Browne, inter.
national president of the 1nterna-
tional Alliance of Theatrical Stage
Employees.
Replying to Lessing's charges that
the I. A. T. S. E. "conspired" with
the producers to break the strike
Browne declared:
The time has come to refute thu
inf1ammatory and untrue propaganda
of the F, M. P. c. Reams of unsub.
stantiated rumors and denunciation
of the I. A. T. S. E. have come from
the F. M. P. c. strike headquarters ir
the last few weeks in an attempt t.
brand the I. A. T. S. E. as a compan,
union. These are all untruths."
As the strike entered its fourth
week, the American Federation Of
Labor prepared for labor jurisdic.
tional battle between the striking fed.
Grafton and the l. A. T. S. E., which
last month signed a labor agreement

PRESS HELD SLAVE
TO POPULAR DEMAND
Bishop Kelly of Oklahoma Urges
Newspapers to Enshrine
"Responsib bility. ,"


BY the Associated Press.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, May 22.-As-
serting that the secular press is the
slave of popular demand, Most Rev.
Francis G. Kelly, Bishop of Oklahoma
City and Tulsa, Okla, last night urged
American newspapers to enshrine re
sponsibility' along with news value
as their saint
He spoke at meeting Of the Cath
ole Press Association.
1T is unfortunate for this most
popular of all teachers" Bishop Kelly
said that it is rarely free to teach
anything but what its pupils demand
should be taught -
1T has to accept popular prejudices
| and teach them not only on the edi-
torial pages, but in the news columns.
"'' With some notable and creditable
exceptions, it goes along with the
crowd instead of trying to educate
it -.
1T has made a cononization and
| proclaimed a saint, news value 1t
wants no other. 1t is the best paid on
earth if not in money, in loyalty, for
everybody reads it. -
One would think that there might
well be another saint in the press
calendar: Saint Responsibility. If the
press is to maintain its position as a
teacher, it should consider its respon-
slbility to its pupils. It's one saint
towers too high"
Bishop Kelly said the amount of
money spent on education today would
nave staggered the beliefs" of people
so years ago
But what has been the harvest?
he continued. Everybody can read
and write. but few can reason"
