Christmas Tree Standards Set Up by U.S. Government Washington Congressman ; effective about rov. 1. Congress- Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) has predicted that one of Oregon's best-known small industries will gain even greater public accept ance next month with the pubu- man Porter noted that the stand ards proposed by the department of agriculture are "permissive," not compulsory. The standards will not restrict individual States cation of new Federal standards or private trade associations from for Christmas trees. Long one of Oregon's biggest attractions has been its reputa tion as the "cradle of the Christ mas tree." Now, the department of agriculture has announced the adoption of a new set of U. S. standards for grading Christmas trees, promising better protec tion for millions of Americans whj by. each year, the famous Douglas fir "family" trees from southwestern Oregon. Nevr Standards "These new standards, pro posed after detailed consultation with members of the industry and experts in the field, will provide the consumer with a greater knowledge of what he is buying next Christmastime," Congressman Porter said. "These regulations sound a little com plicated on the surface, but they will help the family Santa Claus select his family tree with con fidence and they will protect the small businessman from unscru pulous competition." The department of agriculture expects the standards to become proposing tneir own standards for the industry. The grades proposed by the department of agriculture are "U.S. Premium," "U.S. No. 1," and U. S. No. 2." The standards will set up definitions within the three grades for density, taper, balance, foliage and deformities. The standards proposed require that the seller state not only the grade of the tree but the size of the tree at the time of sale.

Sitting in his office at Para mount Studi- I 1P4?! r i Vernon Scott . . T I 1 -1 OS, JtlllcncoCK, nis nanus luiueu across his ample waist, looked like a benevolent Kewpie-doll. It's been five years since he's had a vacation from his desk. "I don't mind the work," he said, flicking the ash from a dead cigar. "And I'm not partic ularly interested in a holiday. Nor am I undertaking the new show ('Suspicion') for monetary reasons. After all, I can eat only two lamb chops a day." Too Polite To Refuse Why, then, is the doughty di rector taking on an additional show? '"Revue Productions asked if I would mind producing 10 shows for their program with my own unit," he explained cheerfully. "And the truth is I was too polite to refuse." Hitchcock was credited with having the best business deal in television. After the first show ing of each of his programs the films revert to his ownership. Subsequent showings and re leases abroad are money in the bank. By the end of the season he was imposed in 1932 VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer will own 11 telefilms outright. "We've begun releasing the series in France, Germany, Eng land, Japan and Australia," he said. "But unfortunately I can't abuse the sponsor in England as I do here. The government won't allow it. "Instead I must be satisfied with caustic introductions. But it's not the same thing at all, really. My heart isn't in it. Many Have Tried Many top screen directors have undertaken individual TV shows; some have attempted se ries. But in every case they pro duced king-sized eggs. Only Hitchcock has pressed to the top. His own show, "Alfred Hitch cock Presents," is a CBS regu lar. The new one, with Dennis O'Keefe narrating, is an NBC entry. In addition to juggling the TV efforts, the pink-cheeked Englishman is directing Kim No vak and Jimmy. Stewart in "From Amongst the Dead." "Directing movies and TV takes two totally different types of thinking," he expounded. "A small screen needs no produc tion finesse in things such as set ting, lighting and costumes. On a 60-by-40-foot movie screen ev ery detail must be ' perfect. Therefore, in a TV production I spend my money on players and story. "I like both jobs," Hitchcock concluded. "And I hope to con tinue in both mediums as "long as I have an appetite for lamb chops." First federal tax on gasoline This is Say Reliable . . . that's the word for your newspaper boy.' Right on schedule he "delivers the world to your doorstep" . . . all wrapped up in your favorite newspaper. We set .this day apart to salute him ... for his enterprise and industry as a young "business man" ... for his unswerving de votion to the job of serving YOU faithfully and well.
