In an exclusive Interview Wed nesday the author asserted that publicity methods resorted to by un. scrupulous produce in exploiting pictures have established the film Industry us one of 1ho huge Jokes of modern times. Wright's denunciation was direct ed at the leaser producers c-f pic tures who make an inferior drama and Ihen palm It off on an unsus pecting public through the uao of mlaleadfng advertleemente and paid for favorable clrtlrlsms.

"These methods affect tho aver uge movie gctr to a marked degree. Led to believe, by lurid advertise ments, that they are to see a mas ter production, what can their thoughts le when they see, instead, an Inferior picture, badly acted and presented and with no story at all. "If a picture la a good one." he continued, "there should be no need for misleading publicity. If it Isn't a good picture, the producers shouldn't present and release It."

FEZ. French Morocco, Sept. 16. 'Bombs and bullets from 150 air planes and 10,000 men UaUed 1,000 Riffians from tho Tock rimmed fortress atop El Bibane reak, when the French launched a furious counter attack against the precip itous stronghold Tuesday. The 25 air squadrons including naval goliaths, bombed the heights for hours before the ground forces advanced. Bibane had been captur ed the day before by a sudden Rlf fian assault, and the French' sought vengeance. While the planes 'drib bled death from above, field guns hurled shrapnel into the Ri'fl&n position which reared 2500 feet above the valley. When the Infantry was unleash ed against the Rlffiaua following artillery and aerial preparation the soldiers halted only long enough to bring their machine guns Into plaM before rushing forward for the crazy, scrambling assault cn the peak where they hoped to obliterate the memory of Tuesday's costly de feat by a liberal letting' of Riff Ian blood. The enemy replied with a bum of cencentrated rifle fire, the riflemen enjoying the shelter of the tumbled rocks but the attack ers covered (he first 500 yards with slight losses. , , . Reaching the outer works, the French clambered over, smashed through the Riffian barbed wire and poured Into the fort. The Riffians fled helter skelter down the eastern slope, hoping to escape Into the defiles cn the other side of the valley. But, they were caught at the bottom, where the slope eases Into the valley contour, under the fire of armored cars and tanks and the Mehalla native cav alry which had girdled the moun tain while the battle was proceed ing on the summit. These horse men seized many prisoners. The bulk of the Infantry In one attacking column climbed crests a mile to the north of Bibane. carry ing guns and supplies up the al most perpendicular crags and across steep-aided ravines. The Riffians sniped them constantly, picking off their men. apparently unmoved by the deadly pounding of the French artillery, which was dropping bursts of shrapnel In clusters. Bayonets and grenades forced the mrriana out of the blockhouse at Dar Renuch at 9 a. m.. Wednesday morning, and for the first time the attackers . could see : the Riffians massed at the aummlt of El Bi bane. By noon the engagement was over and the uninjured de fenders who had escaped capture were fleeing Into the Jagged coun try t the north.

CAILLAUX OF FRANCE IS ENROUTE TO U. S. PARIS, Sept. Id. (United News) I Joseph Caillaux, minister of finance, ! haa departed France for the United States, bearing the most serious offer lever made for the payment of the French debt.

The Southern Pacific company's existing and proposed lines afford the shortest, quickest and most economical haul to principal mar kets for all of Klamath's farm and forets products, according to a state- . ment analyzing all present and pro jected railroad lines affecting this district, Issued last night by fourteen lumber firms here. The application of Investment' pro posed by the northern lines In ex tending south from Bend would tend to raise rather than lower rates, the lumbermen said, adding that their experience In times of widespread car shortages In the past indicates the community can expect better ser vice if the responsibility Is left en tirely with the Southern Pacific rather than dividing It with another railroad. , Complete Statement "It la our opinion," the lumber men aaid further, "that the city would gain more in payroll and gen eral purchases under the Southern Pacific program than under any other plan, and these determine the importance of a city and Its growth." The complete statement of the lumbermen follows: .' ' "We believe that all bnsiness has Its foundation upon confldeace. ' De stroy this confidence and the whole busiest ' strucTeK'mjjj JllPS" ganized. " . T "We believe that every section and region provides a certain tonnage for railroads to carry. We believe 'that the tonnage available In a g.ven area Is plainly in sight and the practices ' of trade will very clearly delineate Its proper - movement to market. Railroad facilities can stimulate the rapid development or retard the de velopment of this tonnage, but the entrance of a railroad cannot bring its tonnage ' with it. Whan two rail road systems seek to enter a given territory, the sise of ithe develop ment offered by each railroad should be a -matter of great consideration for determining which offers tha more comprehensive development; It then becomes a question as to whether there Is room to secure both developments. Not Enough. Tonnage "We have been led to believe, and it aeems reasonable, that the financial interests who are about to put up the money for the larger de velopment will do so only in case their confidence as to the outcome of the Investment Is not shaken. While some may argue that there la tonnage sufficient for two, capital, would, If the tonnage Is to be di vided, curtail and delay the pro posed large expenditures to see how much of the visible tonnage could actually be secured by the larger development. Especially Is this true since the larger development pro gram already has an outlet to the markets, although, it la much mora . Indirect and more 'expensive to op erate than the new proposed con struction. If the tonnage is not di vided, we know that money Is Im mediately available for the larger development. Muat Finish Whole "Program "We believe that in the railroad program before us nothing In the world ahould be done to ao ahake the business confidence of those who are to furnish the capital so that we might lose the promised out let to the East. which, as we see it. Is the great advantage offered this community in the way nt rail road facilities. Onr City "We believe that If the Southern Pacific program Is adopted, our city will immediately become the very center of the most extensive railroad activities now under way In the United States. Men and sup plies will be gnthered here for the purpose of extending rails to the north, northeast, east and southeast. This Is bound to give a quick stim ulus to business and real estate values in our city. "It has also the added attraction that It can bo clearly seen by any Investor that tho system of rail roads as outlined by the Southern Pacific will tend to make our city the center of the railroad system In this region for years and years to come, thus Insuring permanency of (Continued on Page Two)
