4 WPA Project

WASHINGTON. - The WPA,
whose federal theater project pro
auctions have attracted wide
spread attention, is likely soon to
start producing a movie or two.
Representative of IA labor un-
ions. representing workers in the
motion picture industry, were
here recently to report that many
actors, actresses and technicians
we're unemployed and that some
thing ought to be done to keep
them from starving.
Assistant Administrator David
K. Niles told the union people to
&c back to Hollywood and submit
proposals for possible projects.
WPA will take the attitude that
men and women who make movies
when employed are as much en-
titled to work relief as actors,
writer's and musicians who have
been employed on special projects
in the last two or three years.
No government sponsored love
thrillers. gangster or cowboy films
are in prospect. The productions
are expected to be documentary
films and dramat:2ations of gov
ernment activities which will be
sufficiently interesting and artis'
tie to have box office pull.
Heated argument developed the
other night after dinner at the
Russian embassy, between isola-
t:onists and collective security
advocates among a group Of Anne
rican legislators. officials and pri-
vate citizens who were guests.
Suave, popular Ambassador Tro-
yanoVsky started it by deploring
ant Russian propaganda and say
ing that he wasn't seeking Amer
lean aid for Russia, since Russia
was almost as isolated as the
United States and historically just
as hard to attack. But Russia
wanted world peace and more in
ternational trade, said the ambas-
sador, and collective security would
be necessary for an orderly world.
Others took up the refrain and
chief champions of isolation were
Congressman Maury Maverick of
Texas and SEC Commissioners
Jerome Frank.
Maverick demanded to know
how the United States could afford
to get chummy with any European
nation-saying that England had
been quite willing to divide ETH
opia, Spain and China with ag-
gressor nations, that France was
in bad shape and that no one
could tell about Russia because
she had killed Off so many of hel
general and statesmen.
Troyanovsky insisted Russia haC
only killed her d" traitors. But
Maverick said there had been too
many traitors for comfort anc
that even though he believed col
lective security was the only
eventual answer, he didn't believe
there was any other nation this
country could trust.
Frank declared America had
gone to war to save democracy
once, that now democracy was
worse off than ever and that this
country should continue aioof
from European quarrels.

Walter Chrysler abandoned one
good position to take another at
a smaller salary because it offer
ed a greater opportunity. When
he joined the Buick Motor Com
pany in 1911 as works manager,
he renounced a salary of $4,000
a year to accept one of $4,000,
which led in time to salary of
S25.00O Later. he received $780,
600 annually as president of the
company.
Even that was not the top. En-
gagged to straighten out the fl
nancial troubles of the WHY'S
Overland Company, his pay was
one million dollars a year. After
that he went back to 100000 with
the Maxwell organization, which
finally became the Chrysler Com
pany.
He was always able to advise

When we talk about the great

as we do, pretty frequently-we
usually refer to spectacular things
like airplanes, radio networks,
mass production lines or stream

and symbol of Progress, and we
are awfully proud of them.

Carolina Motor
Club Will Boost
Safety Campaign
hundreds of Thousands to
Hear Message on This in
Next Few Weeks

CHARLOTTE, May 2.-Backed
hv five years experience in the
field of safety, with speclaliza-
ton in work among schools and
children, Walter Y. Hosier has
Joined the safety department OF
the Carolina Motor club, accord
inc r. an announcement made to-
day by Coleman W. Roberts,
president. w.:
Mr.. Hosier is a native of Vir-
pinia. Prior to entering safety
work he was connected with the
division of motor vehicles Of the
State of Virginia. He also served
as a claim agent for the Virginian
railway. Considerable safety &C
tivity was involved in these con-
nections. =,
During the past five years Mr..
Hosier has spoken to more than
100000 children in the schools Of
the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee
and Kentucky. In the past year
he has staged IS safety demon
STATIONS in Carolina communities.
He has written three books on
child safety.
Within the next few weeks it
is estimated that nearly 300, 900
Carolinians will hear safety mes
sages delivered by Mr.. Hosier and
A. NJ. Higgins, who has been con-
nected with the clubs safety de-
partment for many years.
Services of the clubs safety di-
rectors are gratis. They are avail
able for talks on safety and &C
cident prevention upon invitation
from schools, civic clubs, parent
teacher associations or firms or
organizations maintaining fleets
of vehicles.
Recently Mr.. Hosier abs con-
tacted school sin Gastonia, Con-
cord, North Wilkesboro, Boone
and Blowing Rock. Appointments
for Mr.. Hosier and Mr.. Higgins
have been made in many other
Carolina communities. In carry
ing out safety programs through
out the two states the club safety
directors are utilizing two Buick
automobiles presented to the Car
olina Motor club by General Mo-
tors for use in safety activities.

enough to know she could not go
on forever playing Romance, even
with the aid of footlights. "Well, "
she wound up, dramatically now,
since she always must play-act,
John Paul Scott has asked me to
retire, darling. He has asked me
to marry him"
So
ale has" Jackie forgot her re-
sentiment in a burst of interest.
John Paul Scott was her mothers
most persistent admirer, the most
socially prominent, the wealthiest.
Evelyn had been hoping, for
years, that he would ask her to
marry him. Jackie liked Mr..
ocOLL well enough, though she
could not imagine anyone want
ing to marry him. His hair was
too thin on top, he was too cor
rect and polished and rich. Il
don't see what you're crying for
then" she said. "Or what l-or
Roger-have to do with it,.
"You have everything to do
with itw Evelyn's tears flowed
more copiously. She could turn
them on like a faucet. She knew
that Jackie, who despised them
for herself, could not bear them
from others. "You know Paul has
to live abroad the better part OF
the year; he travels extensively"
As his wife, she would still be in
the limelight, Evelyn thought
complacently. But such a life
never suited Jackie, even If Paul
wanted to drag her about with
them, which was doubtful since ne
had seemed more than willing
when she had suggested Jackie's
future ought to be settled first.
II told him." Evelyn allowed a
tear to roll down her beautiful
face now, "that l couldn't think
of accepting him until | knew my
little girl was definitely engaged
to someone, too"
"But that's ridiculous" Jackie
exploded. That's disgusting-and
utterly selfish, mother, as we'll"
"Selfishw Evelyn gasped. She
looked as though she had been
cut to the heart. when | try
TO be the most unselfish mother
in the world. When l put your
happiness before my own :"
She burst into real tears now, ap-
parently unable to find more
words.
Contrite, Jackie knelt down be-
side her. "I'm sorry l said that"
/ She knew her mother actually be-
| Iieved herself unselfish. "But it
is ridiculous, you know. You can't
expect me to get married, just so
YOU can do it, too" Yet, even
as she said this, Jackie expert
enced a qualm of alarm, almost
a strange foreboding. She knew
her mother was capable of con-
tinuing to shed becoming tears
and throw theatres, as though
she were in the throes of a third
act; she was capable of sticking
/ to her decision, no matter how
ridiculous it might be, until she
managed somehow, in spite of
anything Jackie might do, to win
out.
She knew this because of that
same bitter experience that had
taught her so much and made her
distrustful of anything sentimen-
tai or romantic, even love.

INDUSTRIES ORGANIZE
STAFFS

Many large bushes houses are
already making their own plans
for protecting their staffs and
training anti-gas squads, fire
fighters and first aid parties.
Some are constructing gas-proof
and splinter-proof shelters on
their premises.
The government already has
completed manufacturing 100000
900 out of a total of 100000
gas masks. T hese will be stored
in special centers until, in event
of war, they would be distributed
generally. Elaborate plans also
are being made for fire fighting.
The government has placed con-
tracts for construction of 400
large emergency pumps and sew
eral thousand light pumps, which
will be used independently of the
regular fire brigadies. Some high
powered pumps will be mounted
for use on boats or barges as
emergency fire floats. Large
numbers of auxiliary firemen are
being recruited by local authori-
ties for manning these pumps.
Home Secretary Hoare recently
estimated that single modern
bomber could carry 1000 to 1000
light incendiary bombs which
could be released in a few min
