"The Pact of Four is seductive
and could transform the entire
European situation. It would not
interfere with the autarchial pro-
gram because it would be based

This in brief represents the view
not only of private Italian pro-
ducers but government officials as
well.
The construction of Cinecitta,
which was inaugurated by Musso-
hni, its chief inspirer, in May,
1887, cost the government in the
neighborhood of $4,000 900. Italy
now expects it to begin to pay
some dividends.
PRODUCTION IN 1887 SMALL
Although only 80 films at cost
of $5,OO0,O00 were produced last
year, there is every indication that
1888 will be a banner year. Never
in the history of the local indus

There are approximately 30 films
between those planned waiting to
go before the camera, those on the

Home of Notables to Be
Sold in Washington
By OTTO JANSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Mar. %. CUP
Decatur House." a red brick
mansion off La Fayette Square,
which is said to have been the
home of more notable Americans
than any other private dwelling
in the United States, is faced with
extinction unless funds can be
raised for its purchase.
Standing unontruslvely on the
northwest corner Of the square
lust a stones throw from the
White House, the 1l9-year-old
residence of Commodore Stephen
Decatur, Henry Clay and many
other famous persons, will be Of
fered for sale in July unless some
civic and patriotic group or lndi-
viduals can raise funds to buy 1t
as a national SHRINE.
For more than a year, public
spirited organizations, headed by
the Professional Writers club Of
Washington, have sought to
arouse public interest in the prof.
ect.
ON VALUABLE SITE
The house, now surrounded by
modern government and private
buildings, is located on valuable
business property. tbs feared the
house will be demolished to make
way for a business building if the
property falls into private hands.
Leaders of the campaign to
save the old homestead admit that
thew have "about abandoned
hope" and deplore what they re-
gard as public indifference to-
ward the buildings plight:
The house is occupied by Mrs.
Truxtun Beale, widow of TnlX-
tun Beale, one of distinguished
line of naval and diplomatic fig
ures who served as U. S. minister
to Persia, Greece, Rumania and
Servia.
Little has been changed since
it was built in 1919. Candles still
are used for illumination, electric
ity never having been installed.
DESIGNED BY LATROBE
The house was built for Com
modore Decatur by the brilliant
BENJAMIN H. Latrobe, who has
been called the father Of Amsri-
can architecture. Latrobe design
ed the colonnaded terraces of
the White House; st. Johns Epis-
copal church, on the north side Of
La Fayette Square, and rebuilt
the capitol after it was burned
by the British.
1t is said the architect wanted
to make Decatur's house one of
the most elaborate residences in
Washington. but the commodore
insisted it be constructed along
simple, sturdy lines, "like ship"
Although Decatur House was
occupied by many distinguished
persons after the colorful, dash
ing Decatur had it built for his
bride out of the prize money he
won in the wars with the Tripoli-
tan pirates, it is his name that
has chung to the house.
Despite its extremely plain eX-
terror, the interior is considered

DINING CAR UNION

TO ACT FOR PEACE

CHICAGO, Sept. 27 (CNA)--Ish--
mael 2. Flory, Secretary Treasurer
OF the Joint Council of Dining Car
Employees. this week called upon all
locals affiliated to the council and
their auxiliaries TO take an interest
ed attitude toward the war crisis and
to urge the national government to
throw the weight Of America on the
side of peace.
The present situation recalls the
vacillating attitude of the democrat
ic countries toward Italy's conquest
for power and her ultimate snbiuga-
tion OF Ethiopia. 1t also brings to
mind the coup d'etat of Hitler in his
seizure Of Austria and the conspiracy
OF Hitler and Mussolini, to aid fasc-

Each time the peace Of the world
WAS threatened. Each time the demo
cratic nations failed to take a stand.
and IN SO doing have strengthened
the hands of the war makers to the
point where the world finds itself
again on the threshold Of world war.
Receding before Hitler only brings
closer another war, not peace. The
trade union movement must take i.
determined stand on the side Of
peace, on the side Of the forces that
are mobilizing to check the war
makers, to check fascism.
President Roosevelt called for the
democratic nations of the world, in

must be done and done now, if peace
is to be preserved, if civilization it

that the Negro race enbodies certain
high qualities to be found in no
other people on earth. Among these
is the Negroes capacity for extreme
emotion. He can descend lower and
rise higher emotionally than any
other member Of the human race"
This news note is interesting: He
has been laboring over an ambitious
musical project for five years--a
sort Of symphonic history Of his race
from its African origins to the era
OF the killer-diller.
South Today
lit used to be that when a high
parsonage like Southern Senator
on the race question, he said
the last word on that subject for the
white South. But not SO today. For
instance, recently Senator Bailey of
North Carolina said some things
which are not so pleasant to other
white people, not to mention colored,
who want to change social conditions
in the South. However, we have but
to turn to the current Virginia
Quarterly Review and read an article
bv another North Carolinian, Jona-
than Daniels, author Of the popular
book, "A Southerner Discovers the
South, which takes more humane
and sane view Of the problems posed
by the South's unbalanced position
in national affairs. Writing under
the title, Democracy Is Bread, M.
Daniels graphically observes: "The
South remains a land where too
many people fight over the division
ef too little for all.
The Negroes position in the South
today is admittedly precarious. Says
Mr.. Daniels: 1T (pressure of poor
whites) has driven the Negroes out
Of the jobs which once were held to
be as much theirs as the color of
their skins. Now the BARRIERS are
white men; white girls have taken
the places of the Negroes in the
hotels and cafes. This summer /
saw white men working to unclog q
stopped sewer in the Negro section
| Of a Southern town.
When Senator Bailey says: Fed
eral efforts to destroy accepted
Southern leaders cannot succeed--no
matter how much public money is
expended, no matter how any politi-
cal missionaries are sent down here"
there is obviously division of opin-
ION in Southern white leadership on
the method Of bringing about social
! change. This is the truly hopeful
sign that better day is coming
