operating in England who feel that just as Britain'S products in other fields hold their own against Amer ican mass production by hand made" attention to detail, so British films while fewer in number can be veritable gems of production. Thus Milder plans to compete against American-made~ films on a strict quality basis with no quarter asked. His view is opposed to that of some tycoons such as J. Arthur Rank who is trying to arrange to produce in Hollywood specifically for the British market.
 Milder came here in 1881 as the managing director of Warner Brothers Pictures Ltd. and is now also joint managing director of Associated British Pictures Ltd. $1O0, ,OOO, 900 corporation which con- trols almost 500 theaters, just a few less than Rank whose recent acquis- itions have had the rest of the British movie industry mutterlng monopoly"
 Milder makes pictures in Britain that earn profits. His studio re- gently was blitzed by a buzzbomb but he has rented another and Is immediately resuming production. Silver-haired, stocky distinguished Milder has no patience with those who moan about American competl- tion. "A topflight British picture will hold it's own with any film any, where" he says.
 For Medium Speech
 Intelligently aware of Shortcom- ings of many British films, notably musicals, and England's failure to merchandise its product properly Milder puffed cigar the size ot a softball bat and oered a sug- geStion that "a sort of international English-a medium speech would have wider appeal than the someu times exaggerated accent affected by some British performers. He be- lieves American presently finds more reception than proper English.
 '"Our acting here is as good as any in the world," he said. "Our technical staffS are somewhat be- low par at the moment but our only real weak point is writers. rBitain ought to send its young writers to Hollywood for a year to pick up pointers and then come back and teach the technique to others. Our playwrights refuse to recognize that films are a separtae medium where pace means far more than it does on the stage"
 Milder said he was looking for- ward to matching his hlms against Hollywood. Because of his affiliation with Warmers his pictures will have potential American mar ket, too, but he said the United States was not by any means closed | to British firms. "All the British have to do is open offices in the States and market their own pro ducts, create demand. That's how American firms did it here"

At the moment films are rather a touchy international subject. There has been a deluge of medi- ocre British films invariably hailed as honest or sensitive" by local movie critics and a good run of entertaining Hollywood pictures many of which seem to American eyes to have gotten an unjust wal loping from the same critics. As a corollary London papers occasionally print items intended to show that British films never get break in the lucrative American market while England throws wide its arms and screen to Hollywood.
 While the film industry probably never will cause any dangerous Anglo American friction it could, some observers believe, result in a more rigid quota system designed to help the British product-at the same time restricting Hollywood in and area containing over $500 the aters and accounting for a good chunk of American film profits.

edition, listed A. T. Steele, cor
respondent of the Chicago Daily
News. and George A. Fitch,
YMCA representative in China,
among the Americans present at
the gathering)
After all the social amenities had
been disposed of and the refresh
ments had been served. the general
issimo arose and made an amazing
speech.
He revealed to the guests-who,
mind you, hadn't known until this
moment what was the OCCASION for
the gathering-thath he and madame
were very well aware of all the ugly
rumors that were being whispered
behind their backs
Refers to Ugliest Rumor.
"He even referred specifically to
the ugliest rumor of them all: To
the effect that he had infuriated
madame by taking unto himself
beautiful 16-year girl as a concu-
bine.
He denied everything. And he
specifically denied the report about
the concubine. Even if he had been
inclined to take a concubine-and
he indicated he hadn't been-he
couldn't have done SO, he asserted,
because of his position! To leopard
ize his reputation and trust in such
way, he said, might prove equiva-
lent to a betrayal Of his country"
From other sources, whose ac-
counts also were indorsed by the
correspondent, it was brought out
that Generalissimo Chang regarded
the rumors as enemy propaganda
intended to weaken the nation.
Taking up another rumor. that he
was slackening in attention to Of
fetal duties. the generalissimo out
lined his daily program, which is
known to be crowded He explained
that spine injury suffered during
his Sian imprisonment made it i'm
possible for him to sit still more
than an hour or two.
To the correspondents present, the
function was of the record" De-
tails of the story got out through
other channels.

Princeton, N. j., next week to study
records of the Gallup poll.
Chairman Anderson said the de-
ciSion followed numerous reports
that the poll might have been used
in an effort to influence" the presi-
Dental election and that DR.. George
Gallup, head of the polling agency,
had invited the inspection.
"If the polls have shown what the
pollers actually found, there is moth
ing wrong Mr.. Anderson told re-
porters. But if it was weighted
without the weighting being ex-
planned, that is something else"
Mr.. Anderson emphasized that the
committee was not accusing the
Gallup poll or anything. but merely
desired to check the poll records.
William A. Lydgate, editor of the
poll, said in a statement:
THE Gallup poll has always made
it practice to turn over duplicates
of all its ballots to Princeton Uni
verslty for examination at any time
by any and all responsible individ-

Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee told a reporter
he would vote for the freeze but
would have no part in tying it to the

Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
Republican whip, said his personal
| preference would be to consider each
bill on its merits without regard for
possible presidential veto.
That veto threat lay behind all the
talk of riveting the two bills to-
gether. If they were joined. the
President would have to take the
freeze. which he has said repeatedly
he doesn't want. to get the wal
powers extension legislation which is
considered must" measure.

Senator George recently estimated
there was strength enough in both
houses to pass the payroll tax freeze
but not the two-thirds' majority
needed to override veto.
The House passed the war powers
bill yesterday after attaching con-
troversial amendment. The bill it.
self extends broad authority over
rationing and the ALLEGATION of ma
