The picture was filmed under the
title, The Man on Americas Con
science. After its completion Variety
reports that MGM discovered that re-
ception of the film in certain quar-
tiers would be antagonistic, and that
the company could not afford to re-
lease the picture in form originally
shot"
Opposition to the film came chiefly
from negro and progressive groups
which could not see how national uni
ty would be served by clarifying a
president who tried to drive the negro
people back into slavery after the
Civil war.
The changes contemplated, also &C.
cording to Variety, are chiefly trans
forming the part played by Lionel
Barrymore from heavy to a SYM
pathetic character. Barrymore plays
| Thaddeus Stevens, who as speaker of
the House led the anti-slavery fight
but whom Hollywood in the Gone
With The Wind tradition wanted to
make a villain. With typical Holly
wood inanity, the plan now is to show
him sympathetic to Johnson's cause,
which is as historically correct as say
ing George Washington was sympa-
thetic to Benedict Arnold.
Another picture now in remake for
different reasons is RKO's Forever
and Day, on which production was
halted when the attack came on Pearl
Harbor. Picture is of the cavalcade
type with British background, was
largely volunteer project by Holly
woods British talent, and proceeds
are still destined for war charities.
GLAMOUR OVER AMERICA. The
treasury department is finding that
sex appeal and bond appeal mix.
Saleswomen currently taking to the

Claire Trevor, and Zorina.
The gals are giving themselves

up with week or so under doctors

Hayworth have taken time out to re-
cuperate.
IT'S WAR. The mattresses in the
Universal studio commissary have
been uniformed, including Sam Brown
belts and overseas caps-possibly to
make them feel they're in essential
service. Mattresses are hard to get
these days.
ONE-MAN-ARMY-D Walt
Disney takes his war production
(Which is not conducted at any loss)

OPA CAMPAIGNS AGAINST
UNGRADING OF MEAT

Following up closely it's vigorous
nationwide drive against the upgrad-
ing of meats, the office of price adj
ministration has ordered more rigor-
Gus grading requirement of both beef
and veal by every meat packer in the
United States. AS the initial correc-
tive step in this program, OPA has
directed that all beef and veal car
casses and cuts sold as choice" quail
ity must be so graded and grade

Der of men to be taken in the draft
Montana has already furnished higl
proportion of men, and it is stated
that this condition will be corrected
by the reduced quotas established i
had been pointed out recently tina
much of the difficulty in drafting {
higher proportionate number of mer
was due to local boards who in many
cases failed to follow selective service
regulations and failed to grant neces
sary deferments.
| Montanans watched with interest
the congressional debates on the is
sue of initiation control and parity
The President indicated in his Labor
| day speech that the rise in the cost
of living and consequent initiation was
ldue in large part to runaway farm
prices. Most farmers feel that this is
not the true picture; that on the con-
trary, with wheat but seventy per
cent of parity, and with many other
agricultural commodities under-priced,
there is little support for this con-
tention. 1t is generally agreed that
some form Of farm price ceilings must
be established, but unless wage cell
ings are established and unless the
farmer is permitted to secure his cost
of production, there is little that will
be accomplished. 1t was indicated
from Washington that Montana's new
deal. senator, James Murray, would
support the President.
State highway officials announced
that a strike of the Butte Transfers
Union had been amicably settled and
that all operations were proceeding
according to schedule. 1t was also
pointed out that under the gas ration
ing plan Montana's highway depart
ment would lose a great part of its
income inasmuch as they are depend
ent upon the gasoline tax for revenue.
This being the case Howard w.
state highway engineer, has
issued orders to curtail all activities,
and stated that there could be no
more road building or maintenance
for the duration unless some new
form of financing could be secured.
With many of Montana's highways In
bad shape already due to the heavy
traffic of defense trucks and war
overloads, the outlook for |
good highways was very dark this |
week.

practices. We shall have to abandon
production Of less useful products,
We shall have to abandon less useful
land, shifting farmers and farm labor,
to lands, crops and methods that will
produce our total requirements. We
shall have to concentrate or break up
farm units to fit the productive posi-
bilities of these farm families. We
shall have to require the cooperative
use of farm machinery and family
manpower.
Before we win this war, farmers
will be neighbors cooperating as they
have never done before
An Unbeatable Cost
1t costs the unbearable amount of
48 cents of the consumers food dollar
to move our products to his table,
leaving the farmer only So cents out
of each dollar. The President and the
secretary of agriculture must have
war authority to move in on this
wasteful take. 1t is as costly and as
vicious in its operations as the treas
enable selfishness shown by big bust
ness in the mishandling of our rub
Der supply. The public must know
this. An alert war congress would
maintain constant investigations to
ferret out these bottlenecks and police
all production and distribution, includ-
ing farm products.
Only Beginning of Wisdom
To place agriculture on an about
war basis and to act vigorously to
Increase our farm production, con-
sress must give the green light to the
secretary of agriculture with full pow
sr and authority to make rapid and
proper use of every acre of land, every
arm machine, every cooperative farm
amily, every necessary dollar of cred
t. together with control of storage ).
md processing facilities for farm
PRODUCTS.
Sterilization of farm prices at par

let's do that quickly and then put
ourselves on total war basis The
