The stuff read at the screens of the same two theaters Additional Federal 13,000 Volts Remove JUNE 24, 1949 OREGON, FRIDAY, French Movie Men Up Against It As Production Drops By SALLY GRAM SWING United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS (U.R) Three major French productions came out in Paris this week: "Fabiola," a tale of ancient Rome; "Du Guesclin," another historical picture set in the 100 Years' War, and "The Man With Clay Hands," a boxing picture starring France's beloved champion, Marcel Cerdan, All of them are productions. Despite this dazzling display, the French motion picture industry is on the rocks more than ever before since the liberation. Here are some unpleasant facts: 1. Out of a total of 254 French after eight weeks.

"Man on" cost its producer, P. E. Decharne, 125,000,000 francs ($400, 000, a very high production cost for France), and during eight-week run, 336,612 paid out only 56,754,230 francs ($189,000) to see it. Of this sum, 34 per cent went into taxes, 34 per cent to renting the theater, 10 per cent to the distributor and exploitation, 2 per cent to the newsreel and 3 per cent to the cartoon or documentary shown with "Manan." Result: onto 10,000,000 francs ($33,000) went to a very disappointed M. Decharne.

PAID THE HARD WAY SPOKANE, Wash. (U.PJ-The sales manager of a local automobile agency delivered a shiny new car to Charles M. Hink and Hink paid him in hard cash. Pointing to a foot-square box, Hink said, "There's your money." Grunting and straining, the sales manager lugged -away the 170-pound box containing 2,600 silver dollars, all minted in 1921. COOS BAY-NORTH BEND, Town Wants Live People Instead of Dead Ones SCRANTON, Pa, The borough of Dalton, aiming to increase its living population, has taken steps to curb the expansion of burial parks.

Councilmen opposed a request that one cemetery be enlarged, saying that such action would make the town more of a burial park than anything else. But the council went even further. It provided a $50 fine and imprisonment for any corporation not already in the cemetery business to bury a body in the town limits. Instead of bodies, the council-men said they wanted more industries, thus increasing the living members in the town.

JUNE 25 trial was merely miscellaneous data gathered from all sorts of sources. was not supposed to be factual and did not represent conclusions or reports by the FBI. Obviously an investigating agency must accumulate material of this sort and sift it out. Practically all of that which was read in court and widely print ed in newspapers represented nothing but worthless chaff. The reading of it not only did harm to those whose names were mentioned but untold harm to the FBI.

Thanks to the excellent work of Representative Homer Angell the Portland district with whom I have been working very closely on the problem, I think some additional needed authorizations for the Willamette flood control projects will be passed at this session. Mr. Angell io a ranking member on the house public works committee which handles this legislation. The original Willamette project authorization which was passed more than ten years ago did not permit the appropriation of enough money to complete the job. This was partly due to the fact that con struction costs increased and partly due to changes in the original plans.

As a result of Mr. Angell's work with the committee, I think an additional sum will be authorized. Also, it was found necessary to substitute two dams on tributaries for one large dam on the McKenzie river. The two substitute dams require technical authorization. Apparently this matter will be cleared also.

Anti-Hiker Parrot Gives Satisfaction PHILADELPHIA (U.PJ-The parrot sent to the Munich zoo to replace one that said only "Heil Hitler" is arousing great joy" in the hearts of Munich residents. Chorus girls at the Latin Casino, who air-shipped the parrot overseas, got high praise for the gift in a letter from the zoo director, Otto Braun. He enclosed a newspaper clipping which termed the parrot a "whimsical humorist." The German paper said one of the things the bird repeats is: "I love my wife, but oh you kid!"

They feel, however, the hun dreds of girls are missing out on modeling careers Just because they think they couldn't make good. Field Wide Open Hiss Vance, a Philadelphian, said that out of 1,000 girls on a typical American campus, probably 200 or 300 could make livings as professional models and' command salaries of $60 to $80 a week. "Many girls," she said, have the mistaken idea that to be a model you must be tall and thin and sophisticated looking.

That may be true in New York, but not in the midwest. Here, the clients like healthy, natural-looking girls-the kind that look good eating candy bars." Miss Stevens, a 'native' of Sioux Palls, S. went along with this and added that some of the emaciated-type around New York would find slim pickings in the midwest and probably would get even more emaciated. More curves are demanded in this part of the country, she said. Advertising Helps The girls, both of whom are ex-models, said their profession was much in demand and getting more so.

More advertising is the reason, they explained. There are a lot of calls these days for the "matron" type, they said, such as is found around the typical American home, the kind of woman who might have a daughter who wanted to be a model. "You don't have to be a classic beauty," Miss Vance said. "What the clients want is the new type the fresh type." They said there is no basic physical requirements of modeling, but that it would help if the girls could wear a "straight size" dress without alteration, and the shoe size small. "A girl with a 4B foot can find plenty of work, at round $35 a day during shoe conventions," Miss Stevens observed.

The population of our state has increased nearly SO percent. An additional federal Judge is badly needed. The house recently passed and sent to the senate a bill creating a number of new federal district Judges, including an additional judge for Oregon.

Although the bill was passed without many negative votes, an interesting floor battle developed over an amendment offered by Representative Keating, a republican from New York. He' pointed out that federal judges are appointed for life and that during the last 18 years of control by the one party numerous vacancies have occurred. The result is a federal judiciary preponderantly of one His amendment simply provided that no more than two-thirds of the newly created judges should be appointed from one political party. A hot fight developed on the floor. It was pointed out in the debate that of the last 189 federal judges appointed, 182 of them were registered as democrats and only seven republicans.

Thus it was correctly declared that our system of govern; ment which is supposed to consist of three independent branches- legislative, executive, and judicial, has in fact for some time (except for the years 1947 and 1948 when the republicans controlled congress) been completely controlled by one political party. The demo crats fought the amendment and it was defeated. For the benefit of members of the democrat party who might like'' a chuckle at the expense of fepub-1 licans, it may be noted that the republican congress could have passed this legislation last year but decided to wait until this year so that a republican president (we thought) coi'ld appoint the new judges! Now they will be appointed by President Truman anyhow, FBI Unjustly Harmed Washington has been 'pretty much agog over the spy or espion age or perjury trials whichever you might want to call them going on now.
