. on Political Bias Hear
ing Delayed. -
IN LOUISIANA
Washington, Oct. 9. (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.
Sam Jones' appointee for sher
iff of Plaquemines parish, in a
wrecked, tenantless office.
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.
Out of the bulldins walked

FLYING BOAT IN
IE TEST
- Washington, Oct. 9 JU.R)
The Martin - Mars, the world's
largest flying boat, has complet
ed a 32-hour, 4,600 mile non
stop endurance flight prepara
tory to final acceptance by the
Naval ' Transport Service as a
trans-oceanic cargo carrier, the
navy announced tonight.
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.
The Mars flew over a course
bounded by Baltimore, Norfolk,
Cape Cod and New York, and
covered a . distance equal to a
non-stop trip from Baltimore to
Berlin or Baltimore to Honolu
lu. Originally designed as. a pa
trol bomber, the Mars has been
undergoing structural- and en
gine' changes necessary for con
version to service as a "work
horse". In ferrying supplies be
tween the' United Statesnd out
lying bases. .- . .
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.
