cessant" as it applies to the ringing Of
telephone bells acquired an entirely
new meaning in the lives of executives
in charge of Washington picture
houses. And. If the degree Of public
interest in the subject was not re-
flected in record breaking attendance
which it was mott is ascribed by
those same executives to the circum-
stance that the theaters were unable
to announce in advance precisely when
they would be showing the Panay
reels. That result was expected, just
as those in charge of the different
houe expect the next week, to bring
them new attendance marks.
Unlike the average product of the
motion picture camera. the Panay pic
lures do not lend themselves to the
usual yes" or no" appraisal The
reporter attempting to calculate their
merits must duck the issue of their
greatness as drama with the statement
that they have been built up" as no
other product in film history-and
that they hardly live up to the super
latives bestowed upon them. The
cameramen aboard the ill-fated gun
boat have done a remarkable Job. They
have offered to pay the ultimate price
for loyalty to the traditions of their
profession. The fact remains, or seems
to remain. that the result of their
work is much more exciting to the
imagination than to the eye of the
beholder. Whether this is due to the
fact that newspaper presentation of
the major shots of the best of the reels
had taken the edge off them or not
must be matter of conjecture at this
point. Every one should see them. of
course, but inability to do so hardly
Is an occasion to regard oneself as
unworthy Of the status of citizenship.
There never has been any pictures
like them. There may never be any
like them again. but the fact remains
that their impact will be definitely
related to the individuals capacity to

were made. The result Is ACCOMPLISHED
with the narrator's declaration that
the films were made under conditions
in which the cameraman was risking
his life with every revolution Of the
camera. That there should be mo-
ments when the focus of the pictures
,less noticeable IN the Universal reels)
is not perfect becomes Immediately
understandable when the conditions
under which they were taken are
stated in the sound track which was
added later.
Major differences between the films
are that Alley. Universals cameraman

ably longer than Mayell and Chinese
Wong. lensmen shooting for the honor
and glory of News of the Day and
Fox Movietone. Dramatic, indeed, are
the implications OF the fact that the
two crews chose different treatments
of the subject after the American gun
boat and her gallant crew had suffered
their mortal wounds. Alley chose to
stay with the boat much longer than
the others, as comparison OF the

see behind what is reflected on the
screen.
FIRST of the reels to reach the
screen locally was the product Of
Eric Mayell and Chinese Wong,
cameramen whose films are being dis
tributed by News of the Day and Fox
Movietone. The News of the Day reel
appeared on the screens of the Capitol
and Palace Theaters at 1897. A few
minutes later one of the prints, re-
quiring 10 minutes to run, was being
shown at a special screening at the
Fox film exchange, where it was wit
messed by a record-breaking screening
room audience including two daugh-
ters of the Chinese Ambassador.
(They, with other representatives of
the Chinese Embassy, refused to COM
ment on the significance of the film,
limiting their observations to the fact
that it was extremely interesting that
neWsreel cameramen should have
risked their lives to get anything so
remarkably
Second among the local houses to
show the film was Trans Lux, which
has the same service. The News of
the Day film made its first appearance
there at 2:20 pm, according to Roland
Robbins, manager.
Sensation of the newsreels dealing
with the sinking of the Panay, the pic
lures taken by Norman Alley OF Uni
versal, did not make their appearance
in Washington until last night. The
Alley film, approximately double the
footage of any other, and which runs
some 1000 feet. did not arrive in
Washington until 1890 last night and
was one hour later in reaching the
screens Of Keith's and the Meropoli-
tan, at both of which houses it will be
shown during the next week And
probably the week after that! Pend
ing its arrival at the former, the News
OF the Day film was shown as An al
ternate under an arrangement worked
out between Carter Barron. Eastern
division manager of Loews and Hardie
Meakin, Keith's manager.
THE narration of both films dis
arms criticism in the statement
OF the conditions under which they

CHILD LABOR
LEGISLATION
IS URGED
International NeWs service

Child labor legislation at this
session Of Congress was urged by
large progressive group yesterday
before the Senate Interstate Com
MERGE Committee as it began con-
sideration of several proposals.
Heading the long list Of wit
nesses was Edward. Heating, edi-
tor Of Labor, who Endorsed the
proposal sponsored by Senators
Wheeler CD of Montana, chair
man of the committee, and John
son CD of Colorado. The bill
would prohibit the sale Of child
made materials in States outlaw
ing child labor.
When the question arose whether
legislation Of this type would tend
to jeopardize the ratification Of
the child labor amendment by the
remaining eight States necessary,
Senator Barley CD Of Kentucky
offered to withdraw his bill, SINH
lar to the Wheeler-J ohnSon meas
ure, saying:
81 would oppose my own bill
IL / felt that its enactment
might lull the people into be-
lieving that it eliminates the
necessity Of ratification Of the
child labor amendment by these
eight States"
Heating expressed the same
sentiment but Wheeler said:
eff we take such an attitude
nothing will be done about child
labor for . long time"
Wheeler said there was little
doubt regarding the bills consti-
tutionality in view of the Supreme
Courts valuation of the prison
made goods bill. But he added:

TEXTILE HEADS
FIGHT LITTLE
NRA' PLAN
BY ROBERT HUMPHREYS
international News Service

Textile industrialists have agreed
to present a virtually united front
In opposition to the Ellenbogen
bill creating a Little MIRA" for
the industry, a canvass Of their
representatives indicated today.
OF the four major wings OF the
industry-cotton, silk, rayon and
wool-only the silk leaders, repre-
sented by the National Federation
of Textiles, has signified any will
ingness to accept the measure.
The federation itself has partly
receded from the position it took
last year in support of the bill and
is now only inclined to accept with
reservations.
Opposition Strong
Led by officials Of the powerful
Cotton Textile Institute, cotton in
dustrialiStS, largest in the spinning
field, plan to battle the measure
uneouivocally. Expected to be
Joined by the rayon and wool tex
tile interests, they will oppose the
bill on the grounds that:
4 1t is not general legislation,
10 but special legislation "sin-
Cling out" the textile industry
for regulation.
8 The powers granted the Ma
AS tiOnaI Textile Commission,
created under the bill, are too
far-reaching, impracticable If not
impossible, and far broader than
those granted to the OutIawed
NRA."
Discovery that the operators
are almost as one in opposition
to the measure, shattered the
hopes Of proponents Of the bill
who had expected to win sup
port from at least part Of the
industry as did sponsors Of the
VinSon- Guffey coal act in the
bituminous field.
Sponsors Divided
AS hearings on the measure
before q House labor subcommit-
tee recessed today, supporters Of
Federal regulation Of the textile
industry, themselves, were in dis
agreement over the bill.
Representative Ellenbogen CD
Of Pennsylvania, whose name the
bill bears, and Francis j. Cor
man, United Textile Workers
vice president, favor stripping
the measure Of fair trade prac'
tice provisions.
Representative Keller CD Of
Illinois, subcommittee chairman
who redrafted the Ellenbogen
bill after it was introduced four
months ago, wants the bill to
60 farther than Federal control
Of minimum wages, hours and
working conditions, and include
trade practice regulation.
Hearing Next Week
The industrialists are fearful of
the broad powers Of regulation
granted to the proposed commits
sion, but the National Federation
Of Textiles (silk) is on record as
willing to accept the labor pro-
visions if "social conditions war.
rant it." The federation, in a let.
ter from its president, G. H.
Come, to Keller, even expressed
willingness to agree to elimination

The representatives of the IN
dustry are to be heard next week

Four or Five Toes Dropped off After Frozen for 6 Weeks

Charles Watson, aged about 60 years, an old timer in the Nome section for many years, who has been prospecting and mining on Buster Creek,a tributary of Nome river near the mouth of Dexter Creek, was brought to the May nard Columbus hospital yester- day for medical treatment for frozen feet, doesn't think much of being away from his work, or having lost four or five toes.
 He is receiving medical atten- ton at the hospital under the care of Dr. Thomas Morcom, and his feet are being dressed to heal the severe frost bites which he first contracted about six weeks ago.
 When brought to town four or five of his toes, due to be frozen for such a length of time, had dropped off due to natural causes following severe freezing, and his feet were nearly healed again.
 Men have experienced frost bite in the toes and been forced to have them amputated, but this is the first time for many years that such an occurrence as the Watson case has come to light. For the past six weeks he has endured the pain and suffering of losing his toes through natural means instead of having them>amputat- ed by doctor. And he still doesn't think he should be in the hospital now when he could be sinking another hole to bedrock.
