Monopoly. Foreign Quotas,
Squeezing Movie Industry
By ELLIS ARNALL
For Bob Thomas)
(Editor'! note: Ellis Arnall,
president of the society of Inde
pendent Motion Picture produc
ers, is a political liberal who,
as attorney general and govern
or of Georgia, established a spec
tacular reputation for trust-busting
a record he seeks to perpet
uate in the motion picture indust
ry) HOLLYWOOD (.TV- The Am
erican motion picture industry
stands today at the crossroads.
It finds itself confronted by many
troublesome and baffling prob
lems, but they can and they will
be solved and overcome.
The producer Is the key man
In the Industry. When he makes
profits from the production of
pictures he employes actors,
writers, directors, artists, com
posers, technicians and all those
essential workers so necessary
to motion picture production, The
distributors and exhibitors are
dependent upon the producer for
finished product.
Today many producers are los
ing money and are finding it in
creasingly difficult to obtain fi
nancing for motion picture pro
duction. foreign Market Hjt
Unfair, discriminatory and un
reasonable quotas and restrict
ions against the foreign exhibit
ion of American-produced motion
pictures have steadily m u s h
roomed throughout the world un
til the Important Income from
the foreign market has been dra
atlcally curtailed.
The foreign situation calls for
aggressive and determined act
ion on the part of our govern
ment. All negotiations with the
foreign motion picture Industry
should be handled at overn
ment level. The American pro
ducers badly need this foreign
income.
Our own government needs the
invaluable assistance of Ameri
can motion pictures In the ideo
logical contest now raging witn
communism. American motion
pictures can effectively aid In
selling American democracy i n
the world.
Domestically, monopolist
ic practices within the Industry
must be completely destroyed.
The recent federal decision by
the New York court will go a
long way toward bringing about
the divorcement and the divest
iture of theater holdings by the
major producing companies.
There must also be afforded
within the great American mot
ion picture industry competitive
opportunities for the Independent
as well as the major producer.
The entire Industry ultimately
must stand as a unit. All seg
ments within it must prosper if
we are to move forward and In
crease the usefullness of the In
dustry. Picketed Tugboat
Leaves Tacoma
TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 13. UP)
A picketed Hawaiian tugboat
left Tacoma early Monday.
A representative of the Foss
Tug company, at whose landing
it had tied up, said It was heading
lor Seattle.
The tug Is the Ono, which
brought a pineapple-loaded barge
from Hawaii last week. A one
man marine engineers' Benefi
cial Association (CIO) picket
line was established at the tug's
dock yesterday.
A union member said It would
be picketed "wherever it lands
on the Pacific Coast." The lone
marine picket, who identifed him
self as E. N. Altman, said the
tug was manned by a non-union
crew.
Additional pickets had bee.i
predicted for today If the tug
had stayed. William Gettings, re
gional director of the Internation
al Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen's association (CIO),
said at Seattle yesterday that his
union and possibly others intend
ed to send picket! to the tug to
day. . The pineapple loaded barge re
mained here. There was no at
tempt to unload it and It was not
picketed.

Big New Rocket
Fires 33 Miles
LAS CRUCES, N. M., Sept. 13.
(IP) This country's newest and
blggpst super rocket, the flame
spewing Viking II, shot upwards
only 33 miles In a recent test, far
short of the 114-mile record of
the German V-2.
But Dr. Homer E. Newell,
rocket expert In the naval re
search laboratory at nearby White
Sands proving ground, termed
the navy's latest test a success.
"We were after stability and
control this time," he said. "Next
time we will concentrate on en
gine performance."
The slim, 46-foot-long Viking II
attained a ton speed of 1,775 miles
an hour in Its test last Tuesday.
A predecessor had soared 50
miles and hit 2.250 MPH over the
same desert country.
But the Viking II Is only the
second of ten planned rocket tests.
Navy scientists are shooting for
an ultimate altitude of 200 ir.tirs
above the earth. They had hooed
to hit 100 miles or better on this
last test but some fault in the
projectile's amazing intricacy cut
off her power before she rea?hod
the hoped-for speed of 3,600 MPH.
