Also they ask if the break in

Not a few recall how.the busi

1929 to 1932 'started with a
break in the stock nrkgt and
a drop in business in Europe.
Anrwars to Questions
The experts have ready an

point out that this market hasn't
had a 10 per cent decline as yet

Adding to Holdings

One Segment of Motion Picture
Industry Experiences
By ROBERT G. SHORTAL
United Press Correspondent
New York flfl One seg
ment of the motion picture in
dustry has been experiencing a
real boom.
The boom firms are the 250
companies making movies for
government agencies and for in
dustrial companies that make
products ranging from rtomic
reactors to light bulbs.
Production of these films has
blossomed into a robust 100 mil
lion dollars a year business. The
movies are seen by an estimated
more than 40 million viewers a
week.
These movies are used for a
wide variety of purposes as
educational aids in schools, for
examining new manufacturing
and sales techniques, for ex
plaining child care to mothers
or for recruiting men for the
armed forces.
The Standard Oil company
(New Jersey) alone has more
than 500 films in its worldwide
library. They run the gamut
from drilling oil to taking a trip
in your car.
Many television stations make
wide use of these industrial, or
sponsored, films.
The list of firms using such
films reads like a who's who in
industry Ford, General Mo
tors, Pan American, Union Car
bide, General Electric, New
York Central, Shell Oil, Armour
and hundreds of others. Trade
associations such as the Ameri
can Petroleum Institute of Bitu
minous Coal association have
used films to tell the stories of
their industries.
Judd Pollock, president of
MPO Productions Inc., one of
the "big three" producers of in
dustrial films, said that after
years "of instability and a high
mortality rate the industry has
come of age."
"Developing out of the talents
of a hard-core of documentary

Man Loses 'Betr
With Lloyd's Firm
Central Islip, N. Y. W
A man who "bet" Lloyd's of
London S720 that his wife
would give birth to her third
set of twins has lost.
John J. Power, whose wife,i
Mary, has had two sets of twins
in their four and one-half years
of marriage, took out an $8,000
insurance policy with Lloyd's
early this year when he learned
he was to ' become a father
again.
At roughly 10-1 odds. Power
paid $720 premium, confident
of a multiple birth.
Wednesday, she had a 10
pound boy, thereby shattering
chances of collecting the $8,000.
" Power, reached by telephone
today at home where he was
caring for the two sets of twins,
said first: "I can't hear you.
The kids are making too much
noise."
But when asked loudly if he
planned further children, he
said, "Sure."
Power, who makes $4,200 a
years as a i.urse at Central Islip
State hospital, said he did not
feel badly about losing the $720,
or more than two months salary.

which never gained widespread
acceptance in this country, the
sponsored film industry is now
firmly entrenched as an adver
tising, sales and public relations
medium," he said.
Pollock noted that many of
the films made for industry are
strictly for internal use in
training production workers or
salesmen, for - reviewing com
pany activities at stockholder
meetings or for improving em
ployee relations.
Others are made specifically
for public consumption. Pollock
said The American Cowboy, a
film made for the Ford Motor
company, has been seen by
more than 50 million people in
the past five years.
The Petrified River, a movie
about uranium made for Union
Carbide, was viewed by 15 mil
lion people, in its first year.
Pollock said the cost of these
films often averages around $60,
000. However, the cost' per view
er has run as low as .0027 cent.
Industry isn't alone in the
trend toward movies as a me
dium of communications. The
armed forces have made wide
use of films for training and re
cruiting. Schools use them to
help children learn geography
and history.
Government agencies and de
partments also are active in the
film field. The U.S. Department
of Agriculture has a film called
"The Good Egg." Narrated by a
magician, it shows the many
ways of preparing eggs. The
U.S. Weather Bureau has one
about hurricanes. -
Many states also maintain
film libraries covering scores of
subjects.

yega for keeping her slim, trim
and beautiful.

izes in standing on her head.
"That's why I feel so wonder
ful," she says. i know nothing
about yoga philosophy, but the
exercises keep me in shape. I
practice them every day at
home starting with the lotus
position and working up to
standing on my head."
The actress, usually a shy in
dividual, startled nearby diners
in the Brown Derby with a ser
ies of undulating breathing
drills.
You Start Hera
Pressing her hands on her
midsection, Olivia said, "Now,
watch. You start here and
breathe upward through the
chest and shoulders."
The demonstration looked
very much like a woman having
trouble with a tight corset.
"It's all based on breathing,
circulation and relaxation of
muscles and joints," she smiled.
"No portion of the body goes
unexercised.
"I stand on my head brilliant-;
ly. I even do the lotus position j
while in a headstand with my 1
derriere in the air. Must look
awfully funny to people who
aren't used to yoga."
