Employment among screen actors s
at the lowest ebb in history, according
to Ronald Reagan, president of the
Screen Actors Guild.
Only 600 of the guilds membership
of $500 are under contract to studio3
at present, Reagan said. Proportion
ately, that represents the largest un-
employment in any of the nations in
dustries
He attributed much of the blame for
actors economic straits to greatly in
creased tIIeater attendance and failure
to construct additional theaters. with
the result that films are held for longer
runs and there is less need for new
pictures.
Studios that used to produce SO pic
lures year before the war are now
making about 18 annually, Reagan
said.
Meanwhile a poll of 446 movie re-
viewers and commentators has chosen
The Best Years of Our Lives" the
Academy Award winner, as the be-.
motion picture Of 1947.
Others in the top TO- in order Of
choice are:

Republican leaders in Congress
characterized the budget estimate as
POLITICAL irresponsible or extravagant.
Sen. Styles Bridges GRIND, chair
man Of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, said it was "bevond the

Even some Democrats deplored its
size and said Congressional slashes
were advisable. Sen. Harry F. Byrd

Congress to authorize the full Euro

The issue, sharpened by creation at

showdown in the four-power Allied
control council which meets Janu-

Another indication of growing fric-

increase in arrests of Americans in
Berlin despite agreements for free
movement of Allied personnel in all
occupation zones.
Among those seized this week by
the Soviets was DR.. Herman B. Wells.

ey the kssoeioted Press

NEW YORK, May 29-The stock
market aimed at a new high this
week and nearly scored a bulls
eyes.
At the week end the general level
of prices was just about where it
was at the close of the preceding
weke. Volume contracted sharply
as the large-scale public action
which often accompanies a decisive
move failed to develop.
The Associated Press average of
so stocks closed Friday at 70.9. On
Wednesday strong demand for auto
mobile shares raised the general
level to 7l.2, just under the al
month high of 71.3 reached on May
II. Wednesday was the only day
In the week the average ended with
q plus sign in front OF it.
Although the weeks volume of g.
282,570 was well under the preced-
ing weeks 13,372,338 shares, it was
still comfortable piece of business
for brokers who have been on slim
rations earlier this year and much
of last. The weeks turnover year
ago was 2,9sS,O10 shares.
Through the week the market had
to contend with profit taking opera
tions, plus the additional selling
which developed late in the week
In the usual preholiday pattern
The exchange was closed today and

Selling Remains Light.
Selling pressure. though, was
never strong enough to offer a seri-
ous threat to the general price level.
Buying orders, while not heavy
enough to force break-through of
the May II high. were sufficient to
keep prices on an even keel.
Security traders didn't pay too
much attention to immediate news
developments, with the major ex-
ception of the General Motors wage
settlement. The long-term outlook

for business continued to be the

Some individual stocks were af-
fected by events which touched
them directly. Pepsi Cola, for in

directors announced a cut in the
dividend. The stock lost 2h points
on the week.
Chrysler Corp, too, turned in an
interesting performance. Despite
the fact that the company had been
strike-bound for a couple Of weeks,
it's common stock ended 3h points
above a week ago. Buying. appar-
emily based on the theory that the
strike would be settled soon. seemed
justified by the Friday settlement
of the wage argument. General
Motors also ran up 31s point gain.
Wall Streets underlying optimism
was given another flip by the GIN
settlement. Many regarded 1t as a
stabilizing factor in the labor pic
ture and, at the same time, noted
that it was another case in which
the settlement figure was nearer to
management's offer than to labor's
demand.
Active Period FOreseen.
Most businessmen are agreed that
foreign aid and national defense,
backed up by continued high do
mestic demand, will keep the ma
chimes humming for long time to
come. The viewpoint was buttressed
by the growing belief that currently
granted wage increases will not spin
the wheel of imitation at high speed.
A noticeable improvement in the
international situation was another
welcome item to the financial dis
trict, where some fear has been ex-
pressed that too heavy foreign and
rearmament demands on the econ
omy would bring back an increase
in taxes, Government regulations
and more severe shortages.
All in all, Wall Street appeared
pretty well pleased with what the
future offered in the form of con-
tinued high production and high
income.
The sharp increase in public in
terest in the stock market was re-
fected in a Jump in brokers loans
to 1894 100000. high since last
October. This compared with $780,
1000 in the previous week.
Brokers loans represent money
borrowed to buy stocks on margin.

of the market price and the broker
borrows the balance to pay the full
price of the stock.

appeals has upheld the decision
of Judge L. B. Frazier of the
Noble County Common Pleas
court in the case of Aaron Bates
against cedric Clark.
It will be remembered that

ing of the Appellate court.
According to the testimony,
Clark moved to the Bates farm
and took possession, although
there was no written contract,
relative to the sale of the farm,
located in Center township.
Clark is said to have made some
Improvement and even raised a
corn crop.
1t is then alleged that Bates
wanted the farm back and filed
suit Common Pleas court to re-
gain possession. Judge Frazier
rendered a decision in favor of
the defendant, ruling that Clark
was now the rightful owner of
the farm and that Bates must ac-
cept payment for same.
This ruling was sustained on
Tuesday by the court of appeals.

Maryla Jonas, who made her
Washington debut last winter under
the auspices of the Dorothy Hodg-
kin Dorsey Concert Bureau, has
been re-engaged by Mrs. Dorsey
to give recital this afternoon at
o'clock in Constitution Hall.
Endowed with a natural talent for
the piano, Miss Jonas, at the height
Of her artistic career in her native
Warsaw, was caught by the war,
and made her getaway on foot to
Berlin, whence she was able to flee
to South America. She lost her
family, who perished during the
bombing Of the Polish capital, and
with 1t her interest in music until
Artur Rubinstein, then on a concert
tour in Latin America, coaxed her
to~play for him.
The artist owes him introductions
to American managers which led
to her appearances in New York
and the success which followed.
