sonal time. The class is subject to
postponement whenever the in
structor gets a field assignment.
Wartime wage control is studied
both in it's historical and its con-
temporary aspects. History in this
Ncase began Jan. IL, 1912, with the

relates to what happened this
week.
Smith. Connally Bill Analysed
At the opening session the war
labor disputes act (Smith-Con-t
nally billy was analyzed. After
which one business agent COM
mented soberly that a more accur-
ate title would be the war strike
authorization act.
This university extension class
room is the union hall of the
Screen Cartoonists, the boys and
girls whose films are applauded
before the audience sees them.
SURRENDER. A film about
the dangers of initiation was
, shown for one day in several Los
sesles theaters. 1t was with
next day on orders from
hgington. Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau asked M-G-
M to make the film for national
release, apparently changed his
mind after congress went berserk.
CAMOUFLAGE. If you're in
terested in how Republic will deal
with Kaiser shipbuilding on the
screen, watch for "Man From
Frisco" The title was changed
from "Victory Fleet" Apparently
victory" isn't good boxoffice
these days.

The Indian Sign
MINORITY GAIN. American
Indians have been granted more
democracy, according to the goth
Fox exec who arranged for film
ing much of Buffalo Bill on the
Grow reserve in Montana. He
found that movie companies now
have to deal directly with agency
superintendent and tribal council
to get such permission. The film
man sat through a 7-hour pow
WOW to get his deal, after which
the contract went to the Indian
Bureau in Chicago for ratification.
BEEF. The reason you won't
see many stampedes in western
pictures for the duration is that
running a steer past camera
four or five times wears off as
} much as 100 pounds. Sweating
off 10000 pounds for a movie
thrill is a lot of steak.
REAL BEEF. The old west is
reviving in a realistic way. DON
aid Crisp reports several calves
rustled from his ranch in the last
few weeks.
