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.

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

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."
