(U.R) Will Hays will ask motion pic ture industry leaders to set up a voluntary propaganda code, .similar to the cinema moral code, to head off a threatened congressional investigation, Cap itol Hill sources said tonight. Hays, president of . the Mo tion Picture Distributors-Producers ol America, reportedly went to New York to contact heads of the industry after a series of conferences with re publican members of the house and senate concerning alleged political bias in some recent Hollywood productions. Rep. Walter C. Pleser, R., Mo., announced he would suspend action on his proposal to inves tigate propaganda films in order that Hays might have an oppor tunity to institute a voluntary cooperative effort within the in dustry. "This is a matter which the Industry itself should correct," Pleser said in a brief statement. He said he would take no further action until October 25. Although Pleser declined to enlarge upon his statement, the United Press was informed that Hays had been "most receptive" to congressional suggestions that propaganda be removed from all entertainment features. Republican legislators, it was understood,,complained to Hays about propaganda which they detected in at least three recent major productions "Mission to Moscow," "This is the Army" and "Keeper of the Flame." . They told Hays that "This is the Army" gave the impression that President Roosevelt was re sponsible for the latest increase in army base pay. iney una him that as a matter of fact, the administration had fought tho increase. Pointe a la Hache, La., Oct. 9 (U.R) Louisiana state guards, armed with machine guns, rifles and hand grenades, rolled un opposed down the deserted main street of Pointe a la .Hache today and installed Walter Blaize, Gov.

The 31 truckloads of nersnlr- mg guards had been sent to enforce martial law in this small sown Louisiana narish and to put down what Governor Jones had , termed "Insurrection and open rebellion against law and order." . Instructions on behavior of inhabitants of the Darish eiven by the guards' commander, Brig. uen. inomasx Porter, forbade gatherings of three or more people, and warned that looting would be summarily dealt with. i-leven men were arrested and placed in a stockade. The brick courthouse of Pla quemines parish was noiseless Inside, all movable articles were missing. Permanent files and heavy furniture bad been wrecked.

The flight began at 7:19 a.m October 5, and ended at 3:36 p. I m. The following day, the navy said, adding that the huge ship took off with almost a car load of gasoline and 22 persons.

Before the huge craft goes in to regular service, its record must be placed before the navy (rial . board for verification of the performance figures in the endurance test. Mexico City (U.R) From Cali fornia to Miami the "have-nots" are paging the "haves" here in Mexico', seeking everything from fresh-picked cactus and bobby pins to coconut shells and equila for United States markets. Magazines and newspapers are doing a big business with U. S. advertisers largely import ing and distributing companies who are looking for some thing to distribute. ' One English language maga zine had quite a variety of ads. A California firm, apparently overlooking the No. 1 by-pro duct of the Arizona desert, is looking for exporters of cacti. .A women's shop in Minnesota more of a war casualty than the cacti importers, is looking for a source, of supply for fine hos iery. And, ladies, who isn't? But frankly, ladies, they say Mexi can silk stockings just don't hold up. A business man in Los An geles desires to contact a wine and . liquor broker in Mexico who can purchase and handle shipment of his "requirements." We know a couple of lads in San Diego, Cal., who would like to make the same proposition. A Miami importer wants quan tity of Mexican native dolls (tsk, tsk), and also alligator (tsk, tsk, tsk) leather goods. We had the idea . dolls and alligators were synonomous with Florida. A good sign of the times in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles distributor is looking for men s belts, and men's and women's leather billfolds, as well as wo men s leather pocketbooks. An export-import company in Alabama handles a wide range, I when they, have something to handle. Right now they are look ing for safety pins, regular pins, can openers,, paper spoons and forks, wooden ice-cream spoons, mezcal and tequila. There might be a sufficient surplus of the latr ter down 'here to take care ol you boys in Alabama.- Another California firm wants "large quantity" of coconut outer shells, without the meat, and the harder inner shel. Sandwiched in among these appeals is an ad placed by a Mexican firm offering disinfect ed rope' and peeled or unpeeled peanuts for export. Fined 12.50 W. B.
