1t was about this time that
Dairy F. Zanuck, executive pro-
Queer at goth Century Fox Studios
and one of the brilliant leaders of
the film industry, purchased the
film rights to Laura 2. Hobson's
runaway best-seller, "Gentleman's
Agreement" (Simon & Schuster.)
Zanuck announced that it would
be his only personally supervised
production for 1947, and set the
very talented Ella KaZan as di-
rector.
The brilliant producer then be-
gan to look about him for a pre-
sumaBIy brilliant writer to adapt
the book to the screen. He found
the man he was searching for
in his very own home! For Moss
Hart was his house guest at the
time. Zanuck handed Moss copy
of the book to read. Moss read it.
"Can you see it as a fine motion
picture ?" asked the producer. II
certainly can" replied the drama
fist. Said Zanuck, "T'm looking
for a great writer to translate the
book into a motion picture-pre-
ferably Jewish writer-and one
who is familiar enough with the
problem of anti-SemitiSm. won
der whom 1 might get?" Replied
Moss: you're looking at him
right nOw!'
Now that Moss Hart has fin
ished writing the screenplay for
the film which is bound to create
a great deal of comment and crit
icism in this country because of
its strong subject matter, he is
very well satisfied with the re-
suits of his work. "What I've
tried to do in the script" says
Moss, "is reach people emotion
ally. I'm hitting at their hearts
rather than their minds. There is
no preaching, no propaganda in
the film that will be recognized
as such. It's strict entertainment
with a love story interviewer;
but, on the other hand, it's intel
lectual plot-strong adult drama
that is deeply conscious of its

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman gave advance notice yes terday that he intends to veto the new Republican-backed bill to cut income taxes $4,OOO, ,OOO annu- ally effective January 1.
 He told a news conference that he sees no reason to change his at- tude on tax reduction if Congress sends him the same bill he vetoed several weeks ago.
 The new measure, which has cleared the House and is now be- fore the Senate, is carbon copy of the previous bill except that the effective date for the tax-cutting is six months later.
 On other domestic matters MT. Truman said:
 1. He has no though at this time of calling Congress back into spe- cial session this fall to consider European aid legislation. He add ed, however, that if the necessity arises he will take whatever steps are necessary.
 2. He has no intention of send ing a special message to Congress on secretary of state Marshall's plan for European economic re- covery. He said he can not make recommendations until after the Paris conference on the "self- help" proposal.
 3. He has no plans now for a cross country trip this fall, as urged by officers of the Democrat ic national committee. Moreover, he added, he has no plans for a

WASHINGTON, (P -T The na- ton faces the prospect today of possibly 10 per cent less meat by early 1948.

 The corn crop-which is the ba- sic raw material for meat, dairy and poultry products was fore cast at 2,612,8O9,OOO bushels. This compares with last years record of of 3,287, 1927, ,OOO, the govern ment's goal of 3,000,000,000 bush els and a ten-year average of 2,639, ,927 ,OO0.

Big-City Doctors Will Work For A Month In Alaska
(BY Vern Haughland)

ASHIN GTON, (P) - The American Medical association is about to give hand-picked big city physicians taste of country doctoring in such places as Alas ka, Puerto Rico and the western Indian reservations
 The first group-five top staff men from the Cook County hospi- tai at Chicago-will take off from Minneapolis July 19 for Alaska.
 The specialists, taking with them facilities for a portable hos pital, will spend a month in the Territory. They will diagnose, prescribe and treat as many sick Eskimoes, Indians and AleutS as possible.
 Next fall, other carefully-chosen physicians will visit Indian reser- vations of the west, starting prob ably with the Arizona Navajo tribes in September.
 Dr. William A. Morgan, promin- ent Washington physician, ex- plained to a reporter:
 "A great many of these sick people never see a doctor, live in areas with no medical facilities whatever.
 "The medical association groups will go in, work with the public health offices where they are available, and will attempt to do something concrete about medical and surgical attention for these underprivileged groups.
 "We will send outstanding men from our best hospitals. The teams that visit the reservations, for ex- ample, may be chosen from San Francisco, Ann Arbor, Mich, or the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn.
 ''This is planned as a continuous project-the only kind that can be really useful. More teams will be sent out next year."

Bartlett Blasts At
 "Unjust Increase In Shipping Rates

GAP Spacial Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P Delegate Bartlett says the maritime Com mission has authorized Seattle shipping companies operating the Alaskan service an unjust in- crease Gin rateS) made legal by an edict of United States govern mental agency"
 Living in an area where mari time rates have always been high CT than elsewhere" Bartlett said in a statement in the Congression- al Record, "Alaskans had pretty we'll adjusted themselves to condition of legalized plunder.
 Since man is always hopeful and optimistic they had hoped and expected that which was bad would eventually become better as population increased and as Alaskans became more able to raise their voices effectively.
 ''In this hope and this expecta- tion they simply did not compre- bend the strength and the ruth lessness of their masters, the Seat tie operators of, the steamship lines which serve the Territory"
 The Delegate reviewed the gov ernment'S action in arranging an interim steamship service to Alas ka with rates which he said were increased 60 per cent after the Seattle steamship lines refused to operate the service without the raise.
 He said:
 After making incredible war time profits-incredible compared with prewar earnings and incredi- ble compared to their insignifi- cant investments in ships afloat, three Alaska carriers decided to try to perpetuate those earning levels by crying that they needed the stupendous increase of 118 per cent over and above their prewar rates for postwar carrying between Seattle and Alaska"
 He recited that this plea was re- jected by the maritime commis- sion and then Congress approved the interim plan which permitted the maritime commission to fur nish ships at charter of $1 year to the companies, pay the insur- ance and recapture 75 per cent of the profit after taxes, 10 per cent on capital, and insurance costs are deducted.
