DISTRIBUTES SCHEDULES

The only sound basis for any of
the speculation about what Lands
intends to do was furnished by the
distribution Of model 140 game
schedules for the club representa-
tives 10 study.
Under provisions of this schedule
the season would open April 81 and
close Sept. &c. The playing program
adopted at the majors meeting in
December set April Is as the OPEN
ing day for 154 game schedule.
The majors have played a 154
game card annually since 1920. The
l40 game schedule was tried in
1919, but abandoned after one
year test.
American league President Har-
ridge said most baseball officials
were opposed to a 140 game sched-
ule.
The April 81 opening is satisfac-
tory he said, but / believe most
of the club owners in both leagues
want to play 154 games. We can do
that and still stay within the date
limitations of the shorter schedule
by increasing the number OF our
double-headerS."
The delayed opening would per-
nit teams to train at or near home
without seriously hampering their
conditioning.
The 1912 major league schedules
called for four EaSt-West trips. In
the original 1943 program the num-
Der of intersectional trips was cut
to three to save $4,000 miles Of train
travel. 1t was considered likely in
some quarters that the East-West
swings now would be reduced to two
and that six and seven game series
would replace the two three and
our game series now in vogue

WELLES IS
CLAIMS
NEWSPAPER

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a. - The
Washington Evening Star this at
ternoon says Sumner Welles has
submitted his resignation as Under
Secretary of State after ten years
in the State Department.
The article is written by Con-
stantine Brown, the newspapers
writer on foreign affairs.
Brown says Welles resignation is
now on President Roosevelt's desk
and will be acted upon soon after
the President returns from Canada.
The State Department, according
to the article, reports that Welles
is at Bar Harbor, Maine, on brief
vacation but is expected to return
to his desk the latter part of this
week.
At Bar Harbor, Welles said he
absolutely had no comment 20
make on the Stars story
Friends of Welles said he re-
signed at the request of President
Roosevelt after Secretary of State
Cordell Hull said either he or
Welles would have to go.
The Stars article also says deep
differences regarding postwar plan
ming has developed between Hull
and Welles.

The controversy over the films
political aspects has already begun.
Neither Director Wood nor Scenar-
list Dudley Nichols was out to fight
the Spanish civil war again, but
the picture leaves no doubt that it,
like the book, is anti-Fascist, re-
CARELESS of what neutral Franco
might think. 1t and its hero are on
the side of an earthly group of
Loyalists confronted with over
whelming force.
If it shows, in some of the most
brutal scenes ever filmed, the blood
thirsty tactics of mob of Loyalists,
it also tells through the lips of
heroine Ingrid Bergman of Fascist
atrocities. That makes it fairly
rounded picture of mans inhuman-
ity to man, which is the story's
underlying theme, political issues to
the side.

Three Hours

The boys and girls in New York

and there was great concern at
Paramount. The picture, as pre-
viewed here, ran three hours, in
Guiding a minute intermission.
Whether they decided to snip ten
minutes or so from the picture VIII
be apparent when it hits your local
screen. But what / never can
understand is the seeming import
ance of few minutes more or less.
If an individual movie-goer is to
get fidgety over sitting three hours,
he will doubtless get equally jumpy
over sitting two hours and SO min
utes.
In either instance his sitting
WEAKNESS will spring from the fact
that he is not interested nor
amused nor excited. If the picture
captivates him, he won't notice the
time. If it doesn't, the time will
seem longer than it is. It's as
simple as that.
AS an old hardened sitter from
way back, / found the Bell well
worth the sitting. I have sat
through some short movies that
seemed longer, and through count
less two-hour movies that seemed
unable to find an ending. 1t seems
to me that quibbling over the run

a painting by the size of its canvas
rather than by what the artist put
there.

think an important one. Sam Wood,
