many things, but he is sensi-

"reactionary," he takes offense.

for Spanish-speaking audiences.
I'd networks of chain theaters
ill be expanding from first-run
palaces in the chief Mexican cities,
with U. s. money behind them and
U. S. personnel in key spots.
Chains Will Expand
In the other republics, theater
chains will expand, too, but prob
ably without such direct U. S. in
fluence. But as Latin America will
continue to show three Hollywood
films for every Spanish language
film, and at least half the Spanish
films will be from Mexican studios
the hemisphere movie trust will do
all right.
Nothing so specific has been
openly discussed, but things add up
to it: Warmers buys the Teatro
Centra in Lima, Peru. Two circuits
send men to Mexico to inspect a
six-theater chain. Fox West Coast
theater executives spend week
in Mexico City. The Film Bank
set up with Rockefeller committee
blessing to finance Mexican pro-
duction includes the backer of the
fastest growing theater chain in
Mexico. And the Department of
Justice is said to be keeping an
eye on specific deals brewing for
large-scale buys of theaters in
Latin America by producer-distrib-
, hor-theater combines.
Is To
,ut- COffset Argentine Production
- So much for the theater angle,
AS to Mexico's production, the
campaign to build Mexico up to
equal or surpass the Argentine is
being openly advocated on the
ground that Mexico is wholeheart-
edly anti-fascist and Argentina still
pro-Axis. The War Production
Board is urged to furnish Mexico
enough film stock for go features,
which would triple its current pro-
duction. Argentina, with Sd fea-
lures last year, was the worlds
largest producer of Spanish Ian
guage films.
The blacklist against Axis firms
and theaters showing Axis films in
Latin America has been so well
observed by American film dis
tributors that, according to Co
ordinator of Inter-American At
fairs Nelson Rockefeller, there are
now only II theaters showing Ger
man or Italian films, all in Argen-
tina. AS Argentina has l, ,495 the
aters, Axis screen propaganda
would seem to be minimized.

Maggie" Pinkerton said look at the bag

He emptied the bag and turned it over for her

Not a soul, Mr.. Pnkerton."

The other was Bill Burke of many aliases in

a plumber only long enough to learn how to handle

country and tried his skill on bank safes But
his handiwork did not prove as successful as his
wits and after several failures at burglary he
turned to bank robbery by his wits. Atlanta.

60 UnhdrveSted

Possibility that any Imperial VAL
ley flax would go unharvested this
spring appeared slight Monday
after H. H. Stippler, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture economist. re-
vealed that the state war board had
made application to the War Pro-
duction Board in Washington for
material for the construction of
new harvesters which are intended
t. be allocated to harvest contrac-
tors in the Imperial and San Joa-
quin valleys.
Strippler, who is here conducting
a harvester survey for the state
war board, said that in his opinion
the solution to the approaching
flax harvest problem rested in get
ting new machines to contractors
rather than individual farmers.
Special efforts will be made to sup
ply threshers to contractors who
could operate thCm in the two
valleys, he said Between five and
10 such contractors already operate
here, he stated, and efforts will be
made to obtain more.

Laundry Strike in
Third Day &C.;
WLB Action Asked
40 Employees Affected
BY Work StOppage Still
Demand Higher Wages

The strike at the Valley
Steam laundry in Ell Centro
was in it's third day Monday
with employer and employees
apparently deadlocked in a
dispute over wages.
Saturday morning 40 men and
women emplCTed at the laundry did
not show up for work as a means
of showing their displeasure because
their employer, Bert Stevenson,
would not agree to general wage
increases.

r. P. Gibbons, secretary of the

Stevenson Sunday but nothing
much was accomplished by the con-
ference.
I'VE believe this matter should be
settled by the War Labor Board, y

dry workers union. The WLB was
called in several weeks ago and

The measure passed the assem-.

many lower house members also
were opposed to the addition CT the

The senate agriculture committee
was called into a special session
this afternoon to consider the bill.
It's chairman, Bradford Crittenden,
Stockton, was the leader of the
move to take the bill off the floor.
Senator George Hatfield, r., Mer-
ced-Madera counties, who was ham
ding the bill and who introduced
the Saturday amendments which
precipitated the surprise action to-
day, sought vainly to have the SEN

out any differences in free confer
