ton to act as Censor" He said
it did not seek to approve scripts
or dialogue, but insisted on the
right to criticize"
He said he had been informed
that studios and producers had
received phone calls from people
who represented themselves as be-
ing spokesman for the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People" Such persons
used the organizations name with
out authorization, he declared.
He said there was no objection
to Negro actors playing "meniaW
characters, such as maids, buffers
and janitors, or being cast in COM
edy roles. He stressed that the
association wanted to dispel the no.
ton that it insisted in "one-for-
one policy" whereby if a Negro
were shown in a mental role there
must also be a dignified repre-
sentation of another Negro.
Deprived OF Role
Recently, he said, a Negro &C
tress was deprived of a good role
as maid in projected television
film series because the advertising
agency insisted that the "one-for-
one policy" be respected. The
character Of the maid was changed
to a Mexican, he added.
Mr.. Wilkins said Hollywood could
make an important contribution to
offset the impression created a.
broad by the segregation stand of
Gov. Orval E. Faubus in Little
Rock, Ark.
This could be accomplished SIM
ply by giving the Negro greater
representation in American life as
portrayed on the screen, he said.
Cooperation was promised by
Benjamin Kahane, vice president
of Columbia Pictures and acting
chairman of the Motion Picture
Producers Association. He said the
first step would be to have studios
advise casting directors that some
of the purported restrictions did
not exist, what would open the
way for more employment of Ne
groes.
The Screen Actors Guild said it
did not have exact figures on the
number of Negro members because
there is no segregation in the
SIS. A. G., we just list members
by name"

progress in gaining better public
understanding of its pricing prob
lens. He said recent explanations
of the need for increased prices
appeared in newspapers throughout
the country, but there were only
two editorials critical of the indus
try's position.
He told IPAA members "this
indicates. there may now be some
acceptance of the fact that our in
dustry cannot stand alone, isolated
from the rest of the economy, and
absorb round after round of cost
increases into infinity."
Discussing the Harris-O'Mara
natural gas bill which has been ap-
proved by committee and is now
awaiting action by both houses
of Congress, Wood explained why
IPAA endorsed the bill even though
it did not embody all the provi-
sions believed essential to provide
full and increasing gas supplies.
eve were in a position, so to speak,
of being in Jail. If an innocent
man can't get a full pardon, he
will take a reprieve," Wood said.
He said he believes the Harris
O'Hara bill will provide the best
possible relief "from the present
unavoidable and chaotic situation
facing the natural gas producing
industry under Federal Power
Commission regulation"

New Approach To

Dallas, Oct. - The petroleum
industry has been challenged to
stabilize its operations on a long.
range basis and quit handling
each crisis on an emergency basis
Robert L. Wood, president of the
Independent Petroleum Association
OF America, said the industry has
made much progress toward solv-
ing q number Of critical problems
but that solutions cannot be expect
ed overnight.

ing OF IPAA in the Statler Hilton
hotel here, Wood said, 1--WE have
an import problem that has yet
to be finally resolved. We face a
real issue on percentage depletion
with exhaustive tax studies already
announced by Congress. Gas pro-
duction is still caught in the wei
of federal utility controls. Our
market is restricted. There is
weakness in the price structure ana
drilling is inadequate"
The IPAA president said the in.
dustry is definitely moving towarc
the needed leng-range solutions
and cited the import problem as {
case in point. He said the import
control plan now being implement
ed by government might be called
compromise solution, but hi
stressed that any compromise ex

Predict Higher
Crude Output

Dallas.-An increase of 100000
barrels daily in domestic crude oil
production during the first quarter
of 1858 over October of this year
has been forecast here by the Sup
ply and Demand Committee of the
Independent Petroleum Associa-
ton of America.
The committee said required do
mestic crude production is indi-
Gated at 7,195,OO0 barrels daily for
1858, compared to 6,750,000 barrels
daily in October.
Domestic demand for petroleum
in 1858 was estimated to average
S,218,O00 barrels daily with export
demand of $4,000 barrels per day
bringing the total demand during
1858 to bout 9,550,000 barrels per
day, an increase of less than l per
cent over 1857. The committee
said there was no need to increase
inventories above the 1857 levels.

He said investigation had de-
termined that the woman made
herself beneficiary in more than
$50 life and accident insurance
policies, and "the majority of these
were on children"
He described the case as one
of the most fantastic insurance
schemes he had ever heard Of.
Rat Poison
"She said in her confession that
she gave rat poison to the Mont
gomery child and the Davis woman
because the premiums on the other
policies were due and she had nc
way Of meeting the payments" he
added.
Mcleod said $840 was paid hel
on the death of the child, and $3.50
on the death of the elderly woman
All of the early policies taken
out three or four years ago were
on cid people, and were in amounts
usually. around $500. The later
policies on the children were as
high as $4,000 in some instances,
Mcleod said.
The solicitor said he and. Police
Captain Wilson Baker also found
confession of assault with inten,
to murder in the shooting of q
52-year-old neighbor man in 1866
The detailed confession was found
in the Perkins house, along with
stacks of insurance policies.
"She admitted in the confess IN
that the paper was to convict tn,
man if he shot her." McLead said
Shot Preacher
"She told in detail how she shot
Mezo Brown, Negro preacher, in
the stomach. She told how she
aimed the .32 pistol at him and
squeezed the trigger three times
The gun failed three times, and
she described how she looked at it
and said, Gun, why don't you
shoot?'. The gun fired on the next
try" the solicitor related.
Brown recovered, but told police
he was shot by a white man.
Authorities also have exhumed
the body of Ed Johnson, who died
in 1855, and halted the burial of
the woman's 7-year-old son, Chas.
Jr., who died last week.
The boy died the day after the
woman had increased the insurance
coverage upon him from $3.50 to
$1,000.
However, McLead said it ap-
peared that Charles Perkins, Jr

of the association, was informed
that the number of Negro per-
formers on the rosters of the
Screen Extras Guild dropped from
500 in 1945 to 125 this year for
both unions. The information was
said to have been provided by
William Walker, Negro actor and
board member of the Screen Actors
Guild.
Mr.. Wilkins could not be reached
today at his office in New York.
According to industry representa-
tives and Lester Bailey, NAACP
western division aid, the purpose
of the meeting was to clear up
misconceptions" about the asso-
cations attitude regarding roles
that Negroes might be asked to
perform.
1t was the first meeting be-
tween the film producers and the
association since 1912, when the
late Walter White, then NAACP
president, protested against the
stereotype representation of Ne
groes at bumbling, comical char
acters.
Clarifies Agreement
At the meeting Mr.. Wilkins said
misconceptions" had arisen among
producers that resulted in a lack
of employment and economic hard
ship for Negro entertainers. He
said there were indications that
"some movie industry people had
used these misconceptions as an
excuse, an escape hatch" for not
hiring Negroes.
In clarifying the 1912 under
standing, Mr.. Wilkins said the as
ISOLATION "still is in favor of Ne
groes being employed more broad
ly in bit part and extra roles" and
in manner commensurate" with
their position in the American
family.
He said there was a feeling that
Hollywood was behind the times
in regard to advancements made
by the Negro in the last Is years
in industry, the professions and
civil service.
He explained that the associa-
ton was not proposing any special
emphasis on the Negro, but only
wanted him to appear in movies
doing casually" the things he did
normally in all aspects of life.
Mr.. Wilkins disavowed any in
tention on the part of the associa-

The woman shot herself last
Saturday after police began ques-
tioning her.
Mcleod said Johnson was not
insured when he died, but the wo-
man later took out policy on the
dead man. He did not explain
how she was able to do this.
Tom Hall, a state insurance in
vestigation agent, said payments
to one insurance firm alone
amounted to SCOTS weekly.
