Movie Export Suspension
Will Continue Indefinitely

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 [P.-Conster-
nation among both moviegoers and
leaders OF the film industry on both
sides of the Atlantic followed today
in the wake OF the American indus
try's decision to suspend immedi-
ately the export of all feature pic
lures and short subjects to Britain.
The ban is in retaliation for the
new British tax which the industry
estimates would take away IS per
cent of the earnings of American
films shown in British theaters.
The suspension was announced
yesterday by Eric A. Johnston, presi-
dent Of the Motion Picture Associa-
ton of America, after three-hour
closed meeting here Of so leaders of
the industry.
The tax was announced by Great
Britain as a means of helping COM
bat that country's dollar shortage,
and was described by Mr.. Johnston
in statement as a measure which
''in effect strangles American Aim
shipments to England"
If the British do not want Amer
ican pictures, that's one thing" Mr..
Johnston said. "If they do, they
shouldn't expect to get dollars
worth of films for quarter"
Suspension Indefinite.
Mr.. Johnston said the suspension
would continue indefinitely" Other
sources said American films had
earned about $400 900 900 yearly in
the British market.
OF that total 1892 ,0o0, 900 has re-
mained in Britain as taxes, promo.
tional expense and operating costs,
while the remaining net earnings
of about $4,000, 900 have been trans
ferred to this country.
+ Under the new tax the MPA esti-
mates only about Is per cent of
this s6S,000, 900 would be realized.
Britain's big movie producers were
reported fearful that a retaliatory
tax might be placed on British films
by the United States. Britain now
has a six-months' stock of Ameri-
can films.
New York financial circles said
they could not estimate the effect of
the shipment ban on the net earn
ings of the American Aim companies
which derive an estimated Is to 20
per cent Of their gross film rentals
from English showings.

The 20-room mansion which Sem
ator Brewster, Republican, of Maine
said Howard Hughes Trans-W
Airlines maintains at 2301 North
Uhle street, Arlington, is at present
occupied only by caretaker and is
badly in need of furnishings, an in
vestigation disclosed today.
There is NO evidence now of the
eight bars which the Senator said
were in the house.
A TWA spokesman said the place
has been for sale for months for
$50, 900, with no takers. 1t was the
home of Jack Frye, former TWA
president, and has not been used by
the company since he resigned last
spring, it was said.
The Arlington house contains
about enough furniture to furnish
four of its 20 rooms. The large

tertainment expense accounts of
big corporations. But he added that
he did not believe two or three
ham-and-eggs breakfasts during the
past year" with Pan American Of
f1cials swayed his judgment on avi-
alton legislation.
Two other members of Congress
Joined in the general comment on
the committee investigation.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma said before sailing for
England last night that he thought
Mr.. Hughes parties were good but
other people have done better"
Regrets Missing Parties.
II regret that I missed any OF
them" he said. From what have
read they sounded like lot of fun.
Entertainment is a part of business
"a vital part. think that every
one in Congress has been enter
tanned at some sort of parties"
The Oklahoma Senator added
that he thought the Hughes parties
were on smaller scale than one
of the parties I have heard Of
There are people with less money
than Hughes who have spent more
money on entertainment.
Representative Gore, Democrat
of Tennessee described the conduct
of the Investigating Committee as
.nauseating" and 'piteously sue
ceeding in lowering the prestige OF
Congress.
Referring to Republican claims
that the presence of a Democrat In
the White House prevented the
COP from reaching its goal OF
$4,000, ,000, 900 in budget cuts this
year, Mr.. Gore said:
Well, there are some things that
cannot be blamed upon the Presi.
dent. He didn't recommend the
wasting OF the peoples money tc
carry on lot of Junk and useless
publicity-seeking investigations such
as the nauseating Brewster Com.
mittee."
Comments on Political Aspiration.
Besides covering much of the
ground gone over at a press confer
ences earlier yesterday, Senator
Brewster's interview last night also
touched on reports that he has vice
presidential aspirations. Asked II
sam Pryor. a Pan American vice
president and former Republican
national committeeman from Con-
necticut, was getting delegates fol
him, Senator Brewster replied: "Mr
Sam Pryor is preoccupied with toe
many other things to be getting
votes for me for Vice President
Senator Brewster repeated hi!

Truman at Shaneri-La
For Quiet Week End
After Clearing Desk

1lcSlucllU 1Iunldl Was dG
Shangri-La, his Catoctin Noun
tain retreat near Thurmont, Md,
toda yon a schedule calling for
nothing more strenuous than
hiking and swimming. He has
just finished two busy weeks in
which he disposed of the 1874
measures piled on his desk by
the home-going Congress.
Sunshine and a temperature of 70
degrees gave the President excellent
weather for his second consecutive
week end in the mountains.
The President slept until the un-
usual hour-for him-of $50 and he
and Mrs. Truman breakfasted at 8
on the terrace of the lodge where he
is quartered. He read the papers
and then started out for a walk at
10, according to word relayed to the
White House.
Last night the President and Mrs
Truman saw motion picture in the
mess hall at the camp. y
Motors to Camp.
Accompanied only by Mrs. Tru-
man and the customary Secret Serv-
ice detail, the President left WASH
ington at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon at the wheel of the convertible
he enjoys driving. The party re-
ported in at the presidential camp
IS miles away, at 4:05.
He will return to Washington
Monday morning.
The President topped off his work
on the last-minute legislative output
by vetoing measure extending for
two years the S70,000,000 wartime
subsidy for mining certain high-cost
metals, including copper, lead and
zinc.
Adjustment Inevitable.
1t was his 10Th pocket veto. In an
explanatory statement Mr.. Truman
said he saw mo adequate reason
for deferring this inevitable post
war adjustment.
Earlier, the President had signed
the controversial bill to fix quotas
for foreign countries supplying sugar
to the United States in times OF
surplus.
In approving the measure, the
President made public letter from
Secretary of State Marshall declar-
ing the law should not be viewed
as AN economic threat to sugar
supplying nations of this hemi-
sphere" nor as an "unfriendly act"
Secretary Marshall took note of
fears that one section carries such
a threat. This section says that if
any foreign country Is found to be
denying fair and equitable treatment
to United States nationals, the Sec
retary of State shall have authority
to reduce its quotas.
Protest Was Filed.
This section had been viewed as
aimed at Cuba, which reportedly
owes United States citizens about
$8,000,000. The Cuban government
protested the clause.
Cuba then announced an inten-
ton to stay away from the forth
coming Inter-American Conference
at Rio de Janeiro. 1t protested that
the United States had violated
er-American agreements against
single-handed action by any West
ern Hemisphere nation in differ
ences between 1t and another.
However, Secretary Marshall ex-
planned that no such lone handed,
or unilateral, action is intended. He
said provisions of the questioned
section "do not refer to basic quotas,
but rather give discretion to with
hold an increase in the quotas under
certain conditions"
Cuban Ambassador Guillermo
Belt then told a reporter President

BRITAIN'S GREAT HEALTH PROGRAM

A story from London says that II the
Labor governments plans mature, every
British subject in England and Wales will
have the right to receive medical attention
and hospital service" The cost will be about
S6O8 million. There will be a separate sys-
TEN for Scotland. The men of the North are
s.loyal to the Crown but they like to run
their own affairs.
Hospitals land their endowments' will
become the property Of the state and an army
of doctors, specialists, nurses, dentists and
pharmacists will have a chance to become
civil servants
That's the point where trouble starts.
What should be the doctors part in this new
set-up? The Laborites say the doctors them
selves will decide. Those who want to 60
along will probably be paid a salary, plus
fixed fees. Those who desire to be indie
pendent may find clients among those able
to pay.
Perhaps one of the most encouraging de-
v%elopments is that the Labor government in
sists there shall be nothing "totalitarian'
about the system. 1t is good to find these
daring architects of a new day recognizing
that, however important the reform may be,
democracy comes first.
It's a great experiment, one Of the most
significant in history. There will be plenty
Of rough spots on the road to success, but if
all sides cooperate, something very fine may
result.

WHY WAGES MUST co UP

The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that
living costs in mid-March were at an all-tlme
high. They were 20 per cent higher than a
year ago. almost so per cent above the lever
of January l941. and 81 per cent higher than
before the war. The purchasing power OF
the prewar dollar has thus shrunk to less than
Ga cents.
The Department of Commerce reports
that individual savings last year had slumped
more than SO per cent below the previous
wear. from S33 billion in 1915 to SIG billion
in 1916.
Thu major reason for this sharp slump in
savings was the rise in living costs.
In 1916 redemption of Series r War
Bonds exceeded purchased by almost 81 bill
lion. Series E is the type purchased by
workers.. But sales of larger denominations
Series F and G-eXceed redemptions by
more than 50 billion.
The Federal Reserve Board revealed that
in 1915 the top 10 per cent of American fam
lilies had 60 per cent of total individual say
ings. The bottom so per cent OF families on
the economic ladder had only 3 per cent of
total savings. For example, "a per cent OF
families when wartime savings were at their
peak had no war bonds or savings accounts,
and 30 per cent of families had less than $500
in savings in these forms. With total savings
shrinking sharply, the concentration in the
TOP income families has been greatly in
creased.
These facts explode the myth that was
ballyhooed by big business during and after
Montana labor news., 1947-06-12

the war-that all the people had acculnu-
lated large wartime savings and that lhls
would be the basis for sustained postwar
prosperity. With about half OF American
families earning less than $4,000 a year tnev
must RELY on current wages and salaries lor
their purchasing power. They DO not nave
savings reserves that will compensate TOR lost
purchasing power.
The gap between available purchasing
power and the production of goods and serv-
ces at current prices is about $50 billion. II
all wages and salaries were increased ~
per cent-roughly the pattern or the wage
settlements in steel and electrical manufac-
turing-there would still be a gap or some
$40 billion. To some extent, INSTRUMENT
buying will narrow the gap temporarily. but
this simply postpones the day when the lack
of purchasing power sets off a decline IN
prices, production and employment.
The decline in savings is not merely a
reflection of rising living costs that are under
mining the living standards OF the great ma
iority of the American people. 1T IS also
a signal flashing still another warning that
extortionate profits have created a deflatlon-
AIRY gap in shaping the pattern OF depression,
unless wages get another boost.
