Screen Guild Fund
Nears SSOO,OOO

The "Screen Guild Theater's"
contribution to the Motion PIC
ture Relief Fund is mounting to-
ward $8OO,OOO-a figure it will
reach before the end of the
"theater's" 194O-41 season on the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
This was revealed by Jean
Hersholt, president of the relief
fund and the star of the CHS
'Dr. Christian" dramas, who
said that the "Screen Guild
Theater" had assured the con-
struction of a home for the
needy of the film industry.
"The unselfish manner in
which our stars and all other
members of the industry have
cooperated in the success of the
Screen Guild Theater' series,
proves Hollywood is not all
glitter and glamour"
All participants in "Screen
Guild Theater" productions con-
tribute their services and $1O,-
900 weekly-the money that
would ordinarily go to them-is
paid to the Motion Picture Re
lief Fund by the Gulf Oil Cor
poration, sponsor of the pro-
gram.

War Department
Labor Policy
On Construction

Assistant Secretary of War
Robert P. Patterson, in reply to
INQUIRIES from the press, recent
ly announced the following as
the War departments labor poll
CIV on cantonment construction:
Just and equitable treatment
of labor, the maintenance OF ex-
listing standards for workers on
defense projects, and sympathe-
tic understanding by the Service
of the problems and aspirations
of American labor, organized
and unorganized, are essential to
the success of the defense pro-
gram. The overwhelming mass
of American workers are intense
ly patriotic and want to help de-
fend their country. They want to
cooperate and they are cooperat-
ing. But cooperation must work
both WAYS. Labor standards as
to wages, hours of work and ov-
ertime, among others, must be
maintained if the defense pro-
gram is to go effectively for
ward.
Sept. 13, 1910, President Roose-
velt transmitted to Congress,
with his approval, a definite
statement of labor policy, alrea-
dy adopted by the Advisory COM
mission, reading in part as fol-
lows:
"In order that surplus and un-
employed labor may be absorb
ed in the defense program, all
reasonable efforts should be
made to avoid hours in excess OF
40 per week. However, in emer-
gencies or where the needs OF
national defense cannot other
wise be met, exceptions to this
standard should be permitted.
When the requirements Of the
defense program make it neces-
sary to work in excess of these
hours, or where work is required
on Saturdays, Sundays, or holl-
days, overtime should be paid in
accordance with local recognized
practices"

Supreme Court UphoIds Penalty on
Children Refusing Salute TO FLAG

WASHINGTON. June 3. up
The supreme court today upheld the
action of a Pennsylvania school
board in eXpelling two children BE-
cause they refused, on religions
grounds, TO salute the American
flag.
The children, William and Lillian
Gobitis Of Minersville. Pa, are
members of the Jehovah's Witness
sect. which contends that Saluling
the flag violates the second of the
10 commandants-the prohibition
against worship of images.
They were denied school privileges
after refusing to comply with a
school regulation requiring pupils
TO recite, with hand outstretched
to the flag, these words:
L pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America,
and to the republic for which it
stands: one nation indivisible. with
liberty and justice for all"
The court announced that it
would accept for review four I'M
portant cases which will be argued
in the fall:

Joseph Schenck, Motion Picture Gar,
Indicted for Income Tax Evasion

as bookkeeper for Schenck at $52,-
600 a year, also was named IN the
counts of the indictment relating
to income tax conspiracy.
The fraud counts are based on
the government contention that
Schenck set up fictitious gross
income losses by the purported
salt of stock to HOLLYWOOD
friends and that he listed a
busin ess expenses disbursements
which actually were personal III
nature. In 1887, it was said, Schenck
claimed to have spent $89,385 TO
earn $118,080.
The perjury count stems from
federal investigation of $l00 0OO loan
to William Bioff, Hollywood union
Official, who now is serving q Jall
term in Chicago on an IL year ola
pandering charge. Schenck, IL Is
charged, claimed TO know very little
about the loan and told James A.
Renayne, a special agent with the
internal revenue bureau, in May,
1898. that he did not know whether
the loan had been repaid.
Federal investigators charged that
the loan, granted shortly after a
strike by Bioffs union was called
off, was made to the union official
through Arthur Stebbin. the fllm
executives nephew.
They allege that Schenck eventu-
ally repaid the loan to himself.
