AL SMITH WOULD JUNK SOME MOVIES

Hollywood, May 5.-tUP).-Al Smith wants Hollywood to junk its Super-colossa and make movies of such home-spun American favorites as Way Down East. The Sporting Duchess. and the Old Homestead.
 On a tour of a movie studies Smith traded his brown derby for the topper Clark Gable wears in @Gone with the Wind" and lectured his host, Producer Harry Warner, on what's wrong with the way Hol- 1ywood makes movies.
 The modern movies, Smith said, ~don't tell us enough of the truth about our country"
 Now is the time for the movie men to go back into the real United States and give us some real United States pictures" he said.
 He left for the San Francisco Ex- position after a three-day visit.

SPURNS FORTUNE
 FOR NAZI HUSBAND

Salem, Mass, May 5-CUP)-A former Lawrence girl spurned for tune for German husband, it was disclosed today when the will of a wealthy realtor was filed for pro- bate.
 Margaret Hall Sweeney, now Mrs. Margaret von Hoffman -Grossenbuch of Munich. received no part of her fathers estate because the late Peter Myles Sweeney feared it might fall into alien hands if she married a German.
 However, under trust provisions, the girl may receive her full inheri- tance in case of divorce, her hus- bands death or if she assumes American citizenship again. She had agreed to these provisions, according to a notation on the will.
 The bulk of the as yet unesti- mated estate was left to Mrs. Mil dred McNeal Sweeney of Geneva, the widow.

New York, May 5--(UP) --Stocks made an irregular advance in dull turnover at the opening today fol- lowing hetterfnent of European mar kets on the speech Of Josef Beck, Polish foreign minister. which was regarded as not uilfavurable.

serious. Some states-Arizona, Kan- sas, Oklahoma and Wyoming-re- Quire practically all out-of- state trucks to register and pay fee, or make them pay higher ton-mile taxes than domestic trucks.
 There are innumerable regula- tiolls about the weights trucks may carry, the permissible length of their wheelbase, the sort of equip- ment they must have-runni11g, in some cases, to the types of wind- shield wipers they must use or the sizes of their gasoline tanks.
 There are now in existence up- wards of ITO different state laws o, the grading and labelling of farm products. The Agriculture Depart rlent looks on these laws as good things. but declares that when they lack uniformity = as, among these l70-odd laws, they en1phatically do they are decided hindrance to agricultural trade.
 All in all, the Bureau of Agri- cultural Economics figures that these trade barriers add hundreds of millions of dallors to the money the American consumer pays annually for food-products alone.
 ATTACK IS
 BEING MAPPED
 The whole problem is highly conn., plex, and it cannot be solved by the federal government alone. The recent Chicago conference is looked upon as having pavd the way to- ward cooperation between the fed eral government and the govern ments of the various states, and several modes of attack on the prob- lem have been suggested.
 One idea is to have the states adopt a standard milk ordinance which would protest the public health but, by its uniformity, would not halt the free flow of dairy pro- ducts. This might be supplemented by system of federal inspection.
 Uniformity in motor truck laws and regulations might be obtained by agreement between the states or, it is suggested, the federal gov ernment might step in by stipulat- ing that no further registrations could be required of any motor ve- hicle moving in interstate commerce that was properly registered in its home state and held an Interstate Commerce Commission registration
 A survey of the legal aspects o1 the problem is being prepared by the Commercial Law Division o1 the Department of Commerce.

CALIFORNIA HAS
 FLACSALUTE MESS

Sacramento, Cal. May 5-(UP)- A bitterly contested bill providing compulsory flag salute once 8 week for every California school child was held in the assembly today for re- consideration.

 SnOndent

Washington, May 5--One of the longest of Uncle Sam's economic problems is just beginning to attract public notice. It is the constantly growing system of state-line barriers to the movement of trade within the United States.
 The recent conference on inter- state trade barriers in Chicago helped to focus public attention on this problem. You are due to hear a good deal more about 1t from Washington during succeed ing months. In the opinion of some high officials here. the problem is one of the most pressing before the country.
 Although the prosperity of the nation was built on free Inove- ment of trade inside the national boundaries, Secretary Wallace re- gently remarked that today i've car- not say that we have free trade

between the states" In the De. partments of Commerce and Agri. culture the situation is considered extremely serious.
 BARRICADES
 ARE NUMEROUS
 These barriers are of many kinds. There are truck and mos tor vehicle regulations and taxes, special taxes on products like oleomargarine, fruit and vege- like oleomargarine, fruit and vege- table quarantines and inspection fees, restrictions on the movement of beer and liquor. regulations on the movement of dairy products, ports of entry, restrictions on re- talers, and taxes designed to keep residents of state from buying goods produced outside of the state.
 These laws come from two sources --to protect the business interests within, a state, and to find new funds for hard-pressed state govern ments.
 In either case. their effect is to set up tariff barriers along state

lines. Today, according to a recent survey made by the Agriculture De- parttl1ent, practically every state has put restrictions of one sort or afi- other on interstate trade in foods or other commodities.
 Some of these taxes are retalia- tory. Arkansas for instance. puts a 25 per cent tax Non milk, butter cheese and apples from Washing ton. Minnesota, Iowa and Wiscon- ism. and these states in turn lay a special tax on Arkansas cottonseed oil and its by-products.
 Other barriers, designed to pro- tect home producers, have the ef- feet of almost completely shutting certain markets of from outside producing areas. New York City's milk inspection restrictions, for ex- ample. make it practically irnpos- sible to bring In fluid milk or cream from middle west.
