Instead, Warner Brothers made
a grand opus out of it-with

DeMiIIe loses

SAN FRANCISCO-FP)-Movie
producer Cecil B. DeMille was
presented Dec. Is with an I'M
happy ending to his four-year epic
battle against 81 union assess
ment levied by the American Fed
Grafton of Radio Artists (AFD.
The fms was written in una
nimous decision by the California
supreme court ruling that DeMille
had not been deprived of his con-
stitutional rights when the union
suspended him for failing to pay
the assessment. DeMille was forced
to give up his $98, 000-a-year job
with the Lux Radio Theater be-
cause of his refusal to come across
with the dollar. The assessment
was voted by an ARA member
ship meeting in 1914 to defeat a
proposal to outlaw the closed shop
in California.
Turning down DeMille's plea,
the court held that he was sub
ject to union methods and had no
more right to refuse payment of
the assessment than taxpayer to
refuse payment of taxes. DeMille
said he would try to take the
case to the U. S. supreme court.

Ter, state superintendent of public

DR.. Miller told a group of about
so persons at the Rehoboth Beach

problem of teacher recruitment in
much more realistic fashion than
ever before"
Personality Improvement
Personality and a good back
ground of general classroom teach
ing experience, DR.. Miller explain
ed. are being emphasized in the Sc
lection of teachers, rather than mar
row specialities.
There are many things that I'M
pinge upon the development of per-
sonality," he declared, "and any,
thing that tends to improve this Is
worthy of attention in this pro-
gram of certification."
Stressing the importance of fit
ting personality into the picture to
assure the state of fully qualified
teaching and supervisory school
personnel, DR.. Miller added:
New Problems
There are new problems crying
for solution. Education and its pro-
per social value center largely in
the classroom teacher. The time is
past when the narrow specialist can
hope to get by without realizing his
task is tied to the entire educational
program"
He also expressed the opinion
that the basic idea of education is
to instill qualities of leadership and
realization of opportunities for
service to others.
