cIo Opposes
incentive System

WASHINGTON-(FP) - The
CIO will oppose any attempts by
any government agency to impose
a national wage incentive system,
CIO President Philip Murray said
in letter to all affiliates on the
Presidents April 8 executive order.
The increased earnings which
may result from increased produc-
ton under the Presidents order
must be sought through collective
bargaining in specific cases be-
tween the union and employer, he
said, and contain guarantees to
workers.
Murray called for "the fullest
support to this action taken by
President Roosevelt" in order to
impress Price Administrator Prem
tiss Brown and Food Administra-
tor Chester Davis with the need
for interpreting the directive as
an order to roll back prices to
Sept. Is levels, as asked by the
CIO and AFL a week earlier.
The orders failure to authorize
the WLB to correct gross inequi-
ties in wages was called a serious
omission by Murray, and an ad-
justment must be sought from the
WLB and Economic Sterilization
Director James F. Byrnes, he said.
If the WLB were deprived of
authority to eliminate inequal-
tiles, he said, "the result would be
freezing of chaos" He urged
continuance of presenting specific
cases to the board with the sole
objective "what is best to aid in
the prosecution of the war by as
suring the maximum of produc-
ton"

Hollywood
Lot
By Ted Taylor

| Dy leu ldglOh
HOLLYWOOD (FP)-It looks as
though you'll get chance to meet
the enemy on the screen. The Hit
Ter Gang, DR.. Joseph Goebbels, His
Life and Loves; and Hitler's Wom-
en- are three Of the studies in Nazi-
ism heading toward the screen.
Each has an author or expert
claiming inside information.
One of these alleged experts is
Herman Rauscning, Prussian re-
dictionary who was Hitler's pal up
to 1885. He has been hired by Par
amount to prepare The Hitler
Gang. This picture has $1,5OO,OO0
budget and, believe it or not, the
encouragement Of the State De-
partment and the OWL. Special 16-
nm. prints will be made for snug
Cling into Axis-occupied countries
where Herr Rauschning's name is
hated as much as any other Nazis.
The authority on the Goebbels
picture is Alfred Zeisler, who used
to write and direct for the German
UFA studio. He says he has a
trunkful of inside dope on Nazi
leaders and will make a series Of
independent films about them.
HITLER'S WOMEN
Hitler's Women is an Independent
production for Monogram by Her
man Millakowsky, who formerly
lived in Germany. The title is
grossly misleading. 1t does not re-
fer to Der Fuehrer's private life;
but to the effect Of Naziism on the
women of Germany. Another indie
pendent film, planned by William
Rowland, will dramatic the plight
of women in Nazi-conquered coun-
tries.
The Moon Is Down, made by goth
Century-Fox from John Steinbeck's
drama of an occupied community,
is already in release. The Hostage
is a Paramount picture about the
Czechoslovakian underground, cul-
minating with the assassination of
Heinrich Heydrich. The Hangman,
an Independently made picture
about Heydrich, has been snapped
up by M-G-M for release.
The Mad Brood of Japan has
been in quiet preparation at RKO
from book by James R. Young,
correspondent in Japan before Pearl
Harbor.
M-G-M has purchased The Last
Night, in which Nazi ideology is
seen through the eyes of a crippled
German soldier, while Paramount
has Marseilles, an account of heroic
revolt.
And, on the forewarning side
M-G-M has Memo to a Firing
Squad, which relates to a sinister
conference for a peace with Ger
many and Japan in order to switch
the war to a struggle for S u t h
America.
PERSPECTIVE. Hollywood ver-
sion of the ambulance chaser is the
agent who signs up returning war
heroes. The one who got Barney
Ross on the dotted line informed
studios his life story would cost
somebody $25O,OOO. Maybe-after
the war. The Navy has ruled out
i n divi d u a clarifying until the
shooting's over.
BEST BET. Journey for Margar-
ct, M-G-M, introduces you with
shock to the generation to which a
bomb crashing through the roof is
a normal hazard of existance.
PRIORITY. Walt Disney is said
to be disputing the right of Laurel
and Hardy to film Don Quixote. 1t
will be interesting to learn how
Disney got an exclusive, seeing that
Cervantes died 327 years back.

ATLANTA, Feb 23.-A labor con-
scription bill, including powers for
the Governor OF Georgia to break
strikes interfering with the war ef-
fort, was proposed in both branches

Identical measures were presented
by Representative Max Looper Of
Jacksonville and Senator Ebert For
rester Of Trenton
The bills seek 10 prevent idleness
of any able-bodied man or woman
between Is and SIS whenever the
Governor states by proclamation
that their employment is vital to
the welfare of the State and Ma
ton
Possession Of sufficient income to
support himself would not exempt
any man.
While the measure does not apply
to persons idle because of a strike
It does give the Governor powers
broad enough to order the men back
to work and order employers to take
them back during mediation
Mr.. Looper termed it strike
breaking bill" although it would
make no provision for action by the
Governor if A back -to-work order
should not be needed The Gov
