HOLt YWOOD WILL LISTEN TO
PROTESTANTS

At lcng last Protestant Film
Commission has been organized as
tEe answer of a long suffering pub
lie to its surfeit of Roman Catholic
propaganda pictures such The Song
of Bernadette, Going My Way, The
Keys OF the Kingdom and The Bells
of st. Mary's.
The February issue of the Christ
ian Register, Unitarian publication
carried an editorial which stated,
among other things:
eve are curious TO know whether
Hollywood has ever heard of the Pill
grim Fathers, Roger Williams, Anne
Hutchinson or Thomas Jefferson. -.
We like amiable Catholic priests,
mystic Bernadettes, charming nuns,
as we'll as the next man, but why this
conspiracy of silence against Ameri-
cas- Protestant tradition? 1t is
high time that we have series of
pictures that portray our diverse re-
ligious traditions, including the brac
ing vigor of Protestant Christianity
and the moral grandeur of historic
Judaism"
The rpshot of it is that Paul Fred
erick Heard, a young Navy Lieuten-
ant recently mustered out of the SER
vice, has been named secretary of tie
Protestant Film Commission. His
duties will be many. He will handle
movie production and publicity. In
addition, he will have a large part i'll
raising S1,000,000 to bring out re-
ligious shorts and documentariei j,
many of them 16 NM, for church
and school use. Writers will be en-
couraged, partly through author-sub-
sidizing, to write stories with "the
Protestant point of view" Mr.. Heard
is quoted in Time, January 21st, as
saying that his organization would
propagandize the Protestant point of
view the same as Going My Way and
The Song of Bernadette, ETC., propa-
gandize tie Roman Catholic point cf
view. Emphasis, he said, will be plac-
ed on presenting what the Protestant
minister chracteriZes as "The Christ
ian Way of Life
Another angle to this story show
ing that Protestant pressure on Holly
wood is beginning to be felt, is the
story carried by the Associated Press
that Claude Binyon, producer, IS
preparing to film James Streets noi :
Fhe Gauntlet. The story center,
around a Baptist clergyman in a
small town in Missouri This produ,
ar declares this story is being
brought out on tke screen not be-
;ause it is religious in character, but
because it is of itself good story
Ind added that the reason more Pr
estant films have not heretofore
)een produced is because such tins
stories have not been brought to the
,ttention of film producers-a rea(!
BILE yarn which will probably ..
AIKEN with many grains of salt BY
discerning Protestants and othe,
non-Catholics.
Mr.. BinyOn is quoted as Sayin ,
hat another reason religious pie
lures are likely to be produced for
some time to come is that men in the
Armed Forces came in close contact
for TIE first time with Chaplains
whom they sincerely admired, anc
that these contacts had a powerful
influence in changing the attitude OF
many thousands of men who othe".
wise might still be Indifferent to The
claims of religion.

Washington, D. c., March 1.-THE
relations between United States end
Russia grow worse and worse as the

Conference, Edward r. Stettinius
who was Secretary of State met the
challenges of Molotov and put the
Communist leader in his proper
place.
But, Secretary of State Byrnes las
been tireless in his efforts to reason
with the Soviet Government, without
success 1t is rather unfair to. criticize
him for this noble effort, even though
the Soviet is unable to accept reason
or participate reasonably, in the pro-
gram of the United Nations. In cen
sequence National leaders in Wash

American public to get tough and put
the Russians on he carpet and make
them say just exactly what tkey are
driving at, what they want, and what
they will do to make the United Ma

Money In Politics

There isn't anything new in accus-
ing Edwin w. Pauley with having
asked the heads of large corporations
to contribute to Democratic party
campaign funds The intimation by
Harold Ickes that Pauley offered the
oil tycoons any political advantages,
and increased power with tie Admin
istration resembles mud-slinging.
Anyhow, it is slim excuse upon
which to either approve or reject the
Presidents nominee.
The two old political parties have
always been financed in their cam
.)aigns by rich men and women. Mark
Hanna was praised to the high hea-
vens when he went down into Wall
Street and raised five million dollars
in one day for the Republican cam
paign. There wasn't any investigation
in Congress nor any revolt among the
voters. The people elected Republi-
can candidate William Mckinley as
President. Mark Hanna was sent to
the Senate as a reward for exception
al political conduct
The late President Roosevelt made
a suggestion while he was in the
Presidency that the Governm ent
should appropriate large sums of
money to help the National campaign
committees, in order to take ccrrup-
tion out of politics.

inspected, but also were supervised
adequately once they were approved
Officials of the Federal Security
Agency and its Of1ice of Education
said some States had stopped ap-
proving industrial plants because
they lacked facilities to make in
spections while other States were
approving with only the scantiest
check.
Both Government officials and
educators fear that once the vet
Grams have used up their schooling
rights under the CT bill they will
have no training to show for 1t
because no effort Is made to see
that the training is actually given.
They also are worrying about the
possibility that employers, who can
hire veterans cheaply because the
veterans are being subsidized by the

are taking training, will use the CT
bill to secure cheap labor thereby
underwriting the going rate of
