Plan Provides Commissions
Or Jobs for 90 Per Cent

Hearings on the bill to help get
Army Air Force commissions for
flying instructors and trainees were
to be resumed today before a Sem
ate Military Affairs subcommittee
after. Air Forces spokesmen agreed
to do everything possible to place
qualified instructors in jobs which
will utilize their skills.
With some 5000 instructors losing
their jobs through termination of
AAF pilot training programs, Mai.
Gen. Robert w. Harper, chief of
AAF training, yesterday proposed
a plan which would allow 90 per
cent of the instructors to obtain
commissions or jobs as technical
specialists, he said.
johnson Delighted With Plan.
Senator johnson (Democrat) Of
Colorado, who presided at the hear
ing, said he was delighted" with
the plan. IF it is carried out in
good faith" he added, II will be en-
tirely satisfied"
On the other hand, Representative
Morrison, Democrat, of Louisiana
contended AAF examining boards
were using technicalities to wash
OUT the instructors who, he said,
had done more than any other sin
gle group to give the AAF the
worlds finest pilots.
Gen. Harper defended the AAF's
plan for training woman flyers for
commissions in the WASPS and ex-
pressed the opinion that utilization
OF the unemployed instructors will
remove the objection Of the House
Civil Service Investigating Commit
tee to enlistment and training of
inexperienced women for duty as
noncombatant pilots.
Protests Still Pour In.
The committees adverse report.
coupled with protests which con-
5lnue to pour in on Capitol Hill
from instructors and instructor
srainees, is said to have strengthened
sentiment in Congress against the
bending Costello bill to commission
the WASPS in the AAF.
The AAF plan did not include
some 5000 instructor trainees whose
courses have been discontinued.
Gen. Harper said, however, that
some 900 of them now are aviation
cadets, about TOO are taking glider
another 1900 are in tech
1ical schools and 300 are being pre-
oared for assignment as specialists.

Hollywood Widens Break With Radio 10 Offset TeleviSiOn Competition
By ERgKINE JOHNSON NEA Staff Correspondent

Hollywood, sept. se-The shotgun wedding of radio and motion pic. lures . few years back resulted in a marriage which no one has ever been able to call happy. Now, faced with tho adoption of growing child named teievlsion, radio and motion pictures are gtralnlng at the halter harder than ever and there's even talk of divorce.
 There's no doubt, that Holly. wood is viewing with alarm the fact that television is ready, will break commercially and nationally In the post-war world of tomorrow,
 Film studios look at televislon strictly as competition, and al- ready have wldened the break with radio, with new regulations diScouraging the guest starring practice. Radio executives see in new rules direct attempt 10 "weaken the radio structure 90 that It's position will not be too impregnable with the advent of television."
 Hollywood's radio regulations include Q minimum cost of 5000 for film scripts, blacklisting of certain programs held to be of questionable value to film stars and insiStence on greater control of players and their radio material,
 Fears in Hollywood that tele. vision will itljure motion pictures are ungrounded, according to the radio people. TAKE NO CHANGES
 But Hollywood, as usual, is taking no chances just in case teieviSion docs become an enter- tainment Frankenstein monster. Paramount has invested thou- sands of dollars in it's own tele- vision company, other studios are tied in with teleVisIon financially and will undoubtedly play along when the new medium becomes commercial. The present fight seems to be against the radio net- works, the studios preferring to control their own teievision com. DhIllgB II DgV@IBhl VhAbSA AbhAhthShb does sweep the country.
 After the war, television hopes to become . S3,000, 100000 indus try although even radio execus tives don't expect it to reach full maturity before another five or Six years, n,
 TeleVsion entertainment will fall into three catesorieS-fnotlo1 pictures, outside programs such as sports and news events and live talent studio programs. Stock companies are now being organ- ized for live shows and possible pictures, Prom these stock con- panies radio networks will film motion pictures for televlsion-ii Hollywood fails to get on the band wagon,
 Motion pictures are still the best teieViSion material, Holly wood knows thiS-and still hasn't made Up its mind whether t likes 1t or not.

The drama has an all.Negro cast. Yordan is white and originally wrote the play with Polish-American characters. After he switched to Negros the play was given Q tryout early this summer by the American Negro Theater in Harlem and it looked 80 good that Broadway pros duceFs began to bid for 1t, John Wildberg won out and brought downtown slightly revised version of the original Harry Wagstaff dribble production
 The first scene, in the PennByl- Vania home of Negro family, was one of the most vital l have ever seen on Q stage and nt it's conclusion the audience burst into and main. tained applause such as l have not heard in years for Q single scene of a play. It bridged the entire gap while the set was changed for the second scene. After that things weren't quite 50 good. The story trailed off into oil too familiar des vices to which the author brought nothing new and only the remark able vitality of the players seemed to keep it afloat.
 Especially noteworthy was the work of Frederick O'Neal, who came here from st. Louis and was re- sponBible for the founding of the American Negro TheateF four years ago. Thig IS his first Broadway job and, In the role of c hulking, bullying Son-in-law who runs the family, he was superb, the best Ne. gro actor ] have seen in years, It was like seeing Robeson for the first time when RobeSon was new,
