The similarity is striking, for in- stance, between our’ present grave sithation and the swashbucking tale of one of our early battles for freedom of the seas told in “Reap the Wild Wind,” the Cecil B, DeMille epic in Technicolor which is now showihg at the 20th Century Theatre. A gigantic cast enacts the roaring story of this new Paramount film. Starring Ray Milland, Paulette Goddard and John Wayne, it features Raymond Massey, Lynne Overman, ,Robert Preston, Susan Hayward, Walter Hampden and hundreds of others. In the 1840's the Florida keyes were infested with salvage pirates preying on the lifeline of the Un- jon. The toll of ships piled up on the hurricane - swept reefs and plundered by maritime gangsters was about three ships a week. “Reap the Wild Wind" depicts the story of how brave men and an in- trepid girl eliminated these “rattle- snakes” of the sea and helped save the country from maritime strangu- lation. - eee ANTI-INFLATION BILL BRINGS OUT CRITICISM Clo Heafips Wage | Freezing-Senator Smith | Asks Change in Parity WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Presi- dent Phillip Murray, of CIO, today asserted: “Labor must vigorously oppose” rigid freezing of wages. While Chairman C. W. Smith of |the Senate Agriculture Committee took a just, firm stand demanding | higher definition of parity farm | prices, Murray said freezing of |wages through the pending anti- |inflation bill would “destroy the | morale of American workers.” | Stabilization with relation to liv- {ing costs, he added, should be the |goal. Smith said he had the :majorny of the Agriculture Com- | mittee back of him in his stand | that the bill should redefine parity | s0 as to include the farm cost fac- | tor. e ——— | | MRS.
