Now that it's all over, Holly
wood can laugh and meybe feel
a little flattered about that big
convention Of. exhibitors held
here. It proved, II nothing else,
that theater owners of the nation
are just as enthusiastic movie
fans as the people who buy
tickets.
The production end of the mo-
ton picture industry had counted
on q lot of help from the people
who run the theaters-a concert
ed program against double fea-
lures and giveaways, new ideas
in showmanship, promotion of
new faces.
Studio bigwigs planned re-
sounding speeches declaring that
each and everyone of the people
in this great industry must put
their noses to the grindstone and
pull together; and, with an ear
to the ground and one hand on
the public pulse, together climb
the ladder of achievement.
They had a four-day schedule
of discussions but most Of the
speakers found themselves talk
ing to audiences Of :. few trade
paper reporters, a stenographer,
four Los Angeles exhibitors and
a couple Of old ladies who had
gone to the wrong floor In their
search for a seance conducted by
an Eskimo mystic.
Where were the convention
ers? Why. they were tiptoeing
around sound stages, seeing how

The FlvE.RING
PRICE CIRCUS

One of the hardest Jobs in myriad
Of hord Jobs NOW being tockled at
Washington is Leon Henderson's Ioo
OF trying to hold down the level OF
prices.
Ii is especially hard because every
step in that direction is certain to
tramp on somebody's toes. It is doubIy
hord oooin because some price rises
seem inevitable; once they occur, they
generate others.
The question of (which came first
\ The hen or the eee?" is simple beside
the question "Do wage increases couse
prices to rise, or do rising prices moke
wage increases imperotive| The an.
swer would seem to be both" and
both must be tackled at once in way
that makes the circus rider dorineIy
riding two oolIopino horses look like q
fireside choirstter.
OF course the whole thing is made
trebly difficult because ii must be &C.
complished, 50 for as possible. without
Infringing on the rights Of labor or
enlargement, but through voluntary
cooperation. Otherwise, there sits right
ground the corner fIot government con-
troll Of wages, profits, and prices.
When Henderson recently asked
The auto industry to rescind an an
nounced price advance, that looked
tough in view Of recent wage advances
Ut ground 10 per cent throughout the
Industry. But Henderson reasoned this
woy: ~. price advances are not justi-
fled when profit levels are favorable,
even though some costs have advanced.
Mofeover, no increases will be permit
ted w1en they merely anticipate as yet
unreolized cost advances. Henderson
then pointed out thot the quito industry
is having one Of its most profitable
years, and implied that stockholders,
too, must foce down-holdine. Also thot
the steel industry, which makes less
money than autos, has accepted q price
ceiling, which means that it will have
to absorb much Of increased woee costs
without passing them on to the con-
sumner. Why not autos?
The whole problem OF preventing
ropid price increases. which, il big
enough, could merge into on inflotion
which would be disastrous to every
body, is an extremely difficult one.
There ore those who soy it is impossible
Perhaps it is impossible Of 100 per cent
performance; in foot some prices have
risen little already.
But this is certain: unless labor CO.
.operotes by seeking only such woee
increases as ore necessary to keep
obreost Of living conditions, and unless
management co-operotes by increasing
prices only when modest and reason
able profits are actually being eoten
up by increased costs, then there will
be only one solution = compuIsion.
Which is what neither labor, monoee-
ment, nor ownership wants.

trocts. Lobor is nov cIomorino

the bosis Of reported increased
employer earnings. Are those
cloins justified? Truman be-
Iieves there Is no difference be-

would like to 90 otter both.

Young Married Couples Lack Will

and many marriage could be

This may sound cynical. but It

human nature. Not many of us are
capable of an affection that will

have become necessities TO US. None

they should be all in all to each
other. but. alas. they get bored when
they see too much Of each other.
And so they quarrel for amusement
and make life a torment for each

1t is because marriage has to be

The number Of young people who
get divorces is out of all proportion
to their elders. 1t is SO common
for boys and girls who have been
married three or four years TO part
that it would almost seem that
domestic misery is as much OF a
juvenile disease as the mumps or
the measles. and that few who have
an attack of it have the stamina to
stand it. Apparently they lack what
the doctors call the will to live"
which is the main factor in any
recovery, and when they have to
undergo little suffering and can
not play about as they used TO,
they make no effort to better the
situation or to help themselves.
They moan and groan and throw up
their hands and pass out. And We
wonder why another marriage has
gone on the rocks. We wonder why
two young people who are SO des-
perately in love before marriage
that they thought they could not
live without each other find after
marriage that they cannot live with
each other. For neither one is a
rotter They are fine individuals.
And they have little children who
will be crushed and manned in the
wreck of the home that their par
ents are pulling down over their
heads. Why do decent young men
and women do such a thing? Here
is the answer written by young
wife, who says:
1--WE have been married three
years and have one child. a fine
little boy 13 months old. My hus-
band and I love each other des-
perately, but we quarrel continually
and call each other names we would
not call dog Now he has taken
to slapping me and twisting my arm
when he becomes angry. and feel
that We should part before he does
me great bodily harm or 1 lose
my mind. because these scenes make
me so nervous that I become sick
after each quarrel.
I'VE have tried living apart, but
every minute of the time away from
each other is torture to us both. But
when I came back, the endless quar-
rels started again. I think perhaps
it is because my husband is clerk
who makes a small salary, so that We
have to deprive ourselves Of pleas
ures, nice clothes and good times,
that makes us get so on each others
nerves.
II can take my child and 60 back
to my fathers house to live. but I
cannot live without my husband.
And I am desperate"
There is the reason that so many
young people get divorces. They
marry on a shoestring and when the
Shoestring breaks the marriage goes
with it. They love each other. but
they love good clothes and restau-
rants and automobiles and dancing
| to jazz bands better. Becky Sharp
said that any woman could be
virtuous on IS 900 a year, and many
