be frightened, then grab a fire eX-
tinguisher and go to work.
Il remember one time IN Los
Angeles a number of years ago, be-
fore we had modern safety meas
ures. I was in the projection room
with two others when the film in a
machine exploded. fatally injuring
one of the operators. l dropped
to the floor to escape the poison
gas that burning film leaves, and
probably would have stayed there
except for the chief operator. He
made me get up and keep my ma
chine going. The audience never
knew there was a fire. They just
thought we got the film mixed up!
Nowadays only few inches OF
film is ever exposed The rest is
heavily encased and a fire next to
impossible.
Barrigan. veteran OF 20 years
experience. began in the projection
room when he was 9 years old. That
was in the days of the stereoptlcan
when wandering photographers
would snap a few pictures OF
town and show them through slides
in a vacant store. From Tucson,
where he was raised, Barrigan
naturally drifted to Hollywood to
the movie studios.
Many times I ran off bits of film
in the test rooms brought to me by
Bill Hart, Pearl White or Francis
X. Bushman. They would watch
the test runs with the directors and
pick out the faults"
Driven to Imperial Valley for his
health, Barrigan has grown up
with the movies in valley theaters.
He has watched them develop from
serial thrillerS to talkieS from many
valley projection rooms. He served
with Herb Norris when Norris pro-
noted the since abandoned Fox air
dome in Ell Centre.
incidentally, that was the first
time in history, to my knowledge,
that talking pictures were tried in
the open air" Barrigan recalled.
Turning Author
AT present Barrigan mixes oper-
ating the machines at the United
Artist or the Valley theaters with
misunderstanding in most of the
valley projection rooms. He is even
writing a technical handbook on
operation problems.
Operators sometimes get SO inter-
eSted in the film that they forget
to switch reels, Barrigan said.
We've had to make up all kinds
of tricks. One is to put penny
in the reel few feet before the end
Of the film so that it will fall onto
the case and remind u.s."
Most amusing and confusing pos
sibility, for the audience, and baf-
fling for the operator is to have a
film that is mixed up.
Mystery Film
II remember one time at the
Capitol theater in Calexico when
we were playing the Living Dead,
or some such terror show, the reels
were so mixed up that didn't know
whether l was going or coming and
the audience was as mystified as
was. We finally had to use another
show and I worked all night getting
the thing Strengthened out
From the vantage point of the
projection room the operators get
a rare view of the audience.

times in the back rows of the bal

John Hamilton and Senator
Vandenberg, However,
Offer No Solution

WASHINGTON, April 49, Re-
publicans have taken the lead In
denouncing President Roosevelt's
four billion and one half million dol
lar relief and recovery program, APP
parently giving up the strategy by
which they sometimes let the Anti
New Deal Democrats direct the as
saults on the Administration meas
ures.
John Hamilton, Chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg. OF
Michigan, criticized what they called
the huge pump printing" proposal,
but offered no substitute for getting
more jobs for the unemployed or
beating recession.
Hamilton and Vandenberg made
their attacks in radio broadcasts.
Senator Hill, elected last winter
in New Jersey on an Administra-
ton platform, said former President
Hoover. when facing business re-
cession, waited so long to act that
it had turned from slump into a
major depression and he criticised
Senator Vandenberg for sitting
mute as a mummy during the
Hoover economic crisis.

Unions in Territory to
Support Representatives

Urging organized labor in Alaska
to support their representatives in
the States in the latter's efforts to
adjust the remaining differences
mainly in San Francisco over SAL
mon fishing this summer in Bristol
Bay, Gov John w. Troy this after
noon addressed the following mes
sage to the unions:
Negotiations in the controversy
between unions and Alaska salmon
packers have reached an ilnpasse
because the proposals of the rep
reSentatives of Alaska organized la
Dor have been rejected by unions in
the south. To overcome this it is nee
essary for the unions in Alaska to
back up their representatives in
Seattle and to assure them they
are unanimously behind them.
These representatives are M. NJ
Dunlap of Ketchikan, Harvey Smith
of Anchorage, Chester Carlson of
Cordova and Carl Brunstead OF
Kodiak. All are in Seattle now work
ing toward a peaceful solution to
the controversy which threatens to
sity of immediate action on the
paralyze Alaska industry"
The Governor stressed the neces-
part of Alaska organized labor in
getting behind their representatives
in Seattle.

RIGS Billion and q Half

Just What Does This Mean?

WASHINGTON, April Is. The

business slump by lending billion
and a half dollars to deserving
States, cities, private corporations

But you can take it from Chair

NOT ALL AT ONCE

In fact, Chairman Jones thinks
it will lend scant fraction OF a
billion and a half dollars during
the next year.
Then why did the administration
back such law? And why should
Congress pass it with lightning
speed?
Plain-spoken Jesse Jones tells you
in his Texas drawl that the new
law:
l. Responds to demands from all
business for a more sympathetic
attitude in Washington.
2. Answers the recent plea of
the little business mems conference
for long-term Federal loans-loans
they can't swing in banks because
such deals tie up money too long
for the banks peace of mind.
3. Acts as financial life pre-
server whose mere presence on the
business boat may inspire the pas
sengers with confidence.
IF going concern knows money
is ready and waiting in Washing
ton" explains Jones, maybe loan
won't be as important as it seemed
before the Federal purse strings
were loosened.

Cooperation, in the Jones view
should help restore confidence, and
confidence will lead people to buy
what they want and need. And
when people buy, business men will
get orders for their goods.
