BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Labor will not surrender any part
of its rights of collective bargaining
in return for idealist schemes of
industrial profit sharing, William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor. told Senate
Finance Subcommittee today.
The subcommittee, composed of
Senator Herring. Democrat. of Iowa,
chairman. and Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, of Michigan. has been
conducting a study of profit-sharing
plans.
If industry desires to admit labor
to real partnership in its profits,
however, the A. F. of L. leader pro-
posed that the field Of profit sharing
be opened to negotiation and COL
lective bargaining.
At the same time, Mr.. Green
placed his organization positively on
record as opposed to tax concessions
for profit sharing companies.
This same objection he extended to
cover merit ratings in unemploy-
ment compensation laws.
Opposes Past Methods.
Mr.. Green asserted that labor had
no quarrel with the principles in
volved in profit-sharing. but that it
did not favor methods used in the
past in developing such plans.
Commenting on claims that profit
sharing was instrumental in causing
peaceful labor relations in many in
stances, the labor leader observed: !:
What is needed in this situation
is genuine organization of workers
in unions so that they may have an
agency for collecting and collating
| the facts of the work relationships
and of the results of joint and in
dividual work, for the purpose of
joint discussion with management
to define the principles and stand
ards of compensation for work"
To make profit sharing plans ac-
ceptable to industry, Mr.. Green out
lined the following requisite condi-
tions:
l. Production and cost records
must be equally available to union
and management.
|. 2. Sales policies must be consid-
cred by both parties and be mutually
acceptable. All records must be
equally available to both sides.
Wants Data on Salaries.
3. Salaries of executives and Off
GERS and returns to investors must
be subject to the same conditions.
4. Financial policies and proposals
must be subjected to the same re-
view and decision.
S. The standard wages of pro-
ducing workers, which are produc-
ton charges, should be fixed by COL
lective bargaining at the highest
level industry could reasonably be
expected to pay and should provide
for customary standards of living
proportionate to productivity as hu-
man labor power is increased by me-
chanical power and machine tools,
and rejecting lower unit production

Kennedy Is Linked
To Suppression Of
Newsree| in Crisis
Simon Says He Acted in
Conjunction With
U. S. Ambassador
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Nov. 23.-Sir John
Simon, chancellor of the exchequer,
today told the House of Commons
that the British government acted
in conjunction with United States
Ambassador Joseph p. Kennedy to
suppress a newsreel which the gov
ernment considered might have had
"a prejudicial effect" during the
Czechoslovak crisis.
The Ambassador, told of Simon's
statement, said it was inaccurate
to give the impression" that he per
sonally took any action which caused
the newsreel to be changed" He ex-
planned he merely referred the mat
ter to the Office of Will Hays, presi-
dent of the Motion Picture Pro-
Distributors, in the United
States, and did not know the Hays
Office had acted.
Under opposition questioning, Sir
John said his government believed
the newsreel would have hampered
Prime Minister Chamberlain in his
conference with Adolf Hitler at
Godesberg on the Rhine late in
September.
Two Statements Involved.
The Paramount newsreel included
statements contributed by Wickham
Steed, foreign affairs writer, and
A. j. Cummings, chief political
writer for the Liberal News Chron
icle
The Chancellor said "a repre-
sentation was made" to Mr.. Ken
nedy on the matter and that "the
Ambassador of the United States,
I understand, thought it right to
communicate this to a member of
the Hays organization" and there
after certain excisions" were made
from the newsreel.
Amid opposition cries in Com
mons of government censorship"
and "a new tyranny" Sir John paid
tribute to Mr.. Kennedy thus:
"His majesty's government are
grateful to the Ambassador of the
United States and I am glad to think
that the Ambassador of the United
States and ourselves were in COM
plete accord"
Ignores Angry Query.
Simon left unanswered an angry
query from Philip ]. Noel-Baker,
Laborite, whether 1T is a fact that
four films of The March of Time
have been suppressed in the last six
months?"
He denied there was anything
compulsory in the governments or
Mr.. Kennedy's action.
The Paramount organization re-
ceived Simon's praise for their sense
of public duty" in making excisions
from the newsreel, which was COM
mentary on the Czechoslovak crisis,
including statements by Steed and
Cummings.

PARIS, Nov. 23.-A French Ger
man agreement to submit all future
disputes to consultation rather than
to threaten each other with war was
announced officially here today.
Announcement of the war renun-
citation" pact came few hours be-
fore the scheduled arrival of British
Prime Minister Chamberlain and
Foreign Minister Viscount Halifax
for talks from which virtual
French British military alliance was
expected.
The British statesmen reached

The new accord goes further, how
ever, by recognizing formally the
present French German frontier.
In other words, Hitler will promise

provinces returned to France by
Germany after the World War and
over which the two countries have
fought through their history.
The French foreign Office, making
known the fact that the agreement
had been reached, hinted the sigma
lures may be affixed to it when Ger
man Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop visits Paris, probably De-
cember l.
The accord amounts to reafir-
nation of "the spirit Of Munich"
and is labeled by its supporters as
q determination to solve interna-
tional differences by consultation
rather than by warfare or threats OF
war.
Negotiated Since Munich.
French and German statesmen
have been negotiating 1t since
shortly after Premier Edouard Da-
ladier returned from the Munich
meeting, at which he, Mr.. Cham
berlain, Premier Mussolini and Hit
ler agreed on the partition OF
Czechoslovakia.
A number of thorny questions
were expected to come up in the
conferences among the British
statesmen and M. Daladier and for

JOE FELDMAN, COMPOSER
Joe Feldman, 90 year old
Washington composer, has just
finished his 72Sth song, words
and music.
From his musical headquar.
ters at 1921 Seventh Street,
N. w., he bulletins that the
latest recognition of his prolific
talent is a contract to write for
Irving Berlin, Inc, Of famed
Tin Pan Alley.
Composer Feldman's Boswell
would have you know that Joe'S
accomplishments with melodies
and lyrics, are the more remark
able because he does not play
the piano or any other musical
instrument, nor can he read
music. He compoSeS, on an
average, three songs a week,
ranging from fox trots, senti-
mental ballads, waltzes. tangoS,
novelty numbers and commercial
jingleS.
A new song, sompoSed espe-
cially for Bing Crosby, called
I'll Gather StarduSt Out of the
Blue" will be incorporated into
one of the crooner's Paramount
pictures; Guy Lombardo's band
features Love Will Never Touch
MY Heart" another Feldman
song; the Andrews sisters fea-
ture his swingeroo, you've Got
That Certain Something"
Composer Feldman doesn't say
anything about war songs, and
let's hope he never has to turn
his talents to military inSpira-
ton.
The department thanks Com
poser Feldman for the permis.
sion to print his copyrighted
lyrics, and only lack Of space
prevents accepting the invita-
ton.

triumph.
I think the best tribute to the
effective manner in which Di-
rector Wood puts real SobS in
his emotional scenes came when
the lights flashed up, and Mrs.
Sam Wood, his attractive wife,
was found bathed in tears. So,
indeed, were others of the pre-
view audience.
Those who liked Mickey
Rooney's tip-top emotional per-
formance in Boys Town." will
find that in his new picture he
makes fresh assault upon your
tear ducts, in situations that are
both tender and touching.
These lachrymoSe interludeS
struck me as trifle overdone,
and repetitious, but others may
find them truly affecting. The
diversified and bumhling Wally
Berry plays one of those soft
hearted brute characters that
seems to fit well his coarse and
homely manners.

pointed out that the famous
veteran of the silent days, Flora

Extras" All racing scenes
were photographed at Holly
