Cooper
Hits At Reds
Actor Tells Committee
They Are Both Noisy,
Danger To Hollywood

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-@-
Movie stars Gary Cooper and
Robert Montgomery testified to-
day that Communists and a red
'lunatic fringe have gained a
foothold in Hollywood that is
both noisy and dangerous.
Character assassination"
said Montgomery, is one of their
weapons.
Actors Ronald Reagan and
George Murphy, two other wit
nesses in the all-star cast of to-
days installment of the Reds
1n-Hollywood probe, generally
agreed with Cooper and Mont
gomery that the Communists
have failed to dominate the
movie industry. They all said =
vast majority of the workers
against the tenets of Moscow.
They appeared at a packed
hearing before the House Com
mittee on Unamerican activities.
Cooper after laughingly de-
scribing his 'present occupa-
tom as an actor, broke off from
his usual lazy drawl and his
frightened as he testified
that he once rejected a scrip
because the leading character
had to organize "ah army of
oldiers in the United States who
wouldn't fight"
Montgomery, Reagan and
Murphy-all former presidents
of the Screen Actors Guild
agreed that Reds have penetrat-
ed the movie capital but haven't
gone far, particularly in the
guild.
SRO SIGN Out
Like Robert Taylor yester-
day, today's case had a stand
ing-room-only audience, mostly
"Ah-h-h-hing" and "oh-h-h-hing''
women who even got off an oc-
c~asional low whistle.
Cameras whired and dazzling
burned down as they talk
ed.
Murphy looked the scene over
appreciatively.
"This," he cracked, els the
most expensive set we've ever
worked in. And it isn't the initial
cost, either. It's the upkeep."
Earlier, movie writer's Fred
Niblo, Jr., and Richard Macau-
lay testified that Communists
and those who "play along with
them" have had some luck in
the Screen Writers Guild, to
they belong. Macaulay

TOWN MANAGER STICKS
TO GUNS AS FAIR SEX
PROTEST "HEAD TAX"

VINTON, Va, Oct. % -UD-
Town Manager Guy Gearhart
stuck to his guns today despite
a flood of protests by women
who objected to paying an an
nual town head tax" on the
same basis as men.
Gearhart found the 1886 town
charter authorized him to assess
the capitation tax on "all" adults
81 and over, and ordered wom-
en- to pay the same as men. Only
men had paid in the past.
The action brought a storm Of
protests from women, despite
Gearhart's explanation that the
town only charged so when the
authorized maximum was 81.

TOBACCO PRICES

Follow British Ban
Announcement
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Price averages on all flue-
cured tobacco belts broke sharp
ly yesterday (T~hursday), and
the weaker demand, according to
the Federal-State Departments
of Agriculture, was attributed
partially to the drastic curtail-
ment of tobacco purchased for
export.
The British government yes
terday, morning announced that
it would place a ban on tobacco
imports. In the past a large por-
ton of the U. S. choice to fine
flue-cured offerings have been
bought by British buyers for
consumption in the United King
dom.
Market for Eastern North
Carolina Belt broke sharply
when compared with previous
sales, with drops ranging in all
grades from 81 to So per hun
dred pounds. The majority of
the declines were from 81 to SIS
per hundred, and leaf offerings
sustained heaviest blows, with
prices off from So to So. Little
change as shown in the quantity
of offerings, and volume con-
tinued heavy.
Declines Sharp
Weakening demand on the
Middle Belt resulted in sharp
price declines, with losses rang
ing from 81 to 81, with some
grades showing unusually large
decreases of SO to Sc. Smoking
leaf and nondescript also de-
clined from 81 to 81 in the ma
jority of the cases. Volume re-
manned heavy on the larger mar
kets, and little change in quality
was noted.
