AIRPLANE CARRIER Naval Affairs Students Hold That Lesser Sized Craft Will Cut Expenses. By the Associated Press. The new afrcraft carrier to be built under the 15-cruiser program is re- garded by students of naval affairs in Congress as a move toward dis- carding high-tonnage plane-bearing ships for smaller vessels. Out of such & step, they believe, would come more economical operation and a lessening of the loss.that would be caused in war time by the destruc- tion of a carrier by an enemy. Representative French, Republican, Idaho, chairman of the appropriations subcommittee which supplies the funds for the Navy Department’s activities, predicted today that in the years to come five of the smaller carriers would replace the Lexington and the Sara- toga, the two high-tonnage ships that now are the first line carriers for the fleet. Tonnage Compared. The new ship contemplated would be of 13,900 tons, as compared Wwith approximately 33,000 tons each for the Lexington and the Saratoga. Naval experts estimate that it will carry 70 planes for regular use and 35 in re- serve. The Lexington and Saratoga each carry 90 serviceable planes and 45 dismantled ones in reserve. French said the new vessel will be of a “type that we suppose will be similar 1o the five carriers that Con- gress will build as the years go along.” “Every one knows,” he went on, “that those two ships, the Lexington and the Saratoga, are money consumers—money consumers when in operation or when they are idle. They have cost upwards of $40,000,000 each. They cost for maintenance more than any other ships of the American Navy for fuel. “The amounts that are involved in just the keeping of those ships are so stupendous that we think the Govern- ment will consider, and the members of our committee will consider, that they ought to be withdrawn from com- mission just as soon as their places can be taken by other airplane carriers of 2 type that will be capable of caring for our needs more economically.” Operation Cost Smaller. A comparison with the Lexington of the type of carrier now contemplated by the Navy shows that the latter could be operated for $1,797,31C against $2,- 512,698 for the former. The smaller ship would require 500 fewer men than the Lexington and less than half as much fuel. Another advantage seen by French is the lessening of the hazard to the sys- tem of defense by having a larger num- ber of carriers instead of concentrating the airplanes of the fleet upon two or three ships. If one of five carriers should be} tbombed in time of war, he said, the damage to the naval defense would be but a small percentage of that which would accrue from the destruction of a 33,000-ton ship bearing half or a third of the planes allotted to the carriers. Five ships of the 13,960 tonnage could be squeezed into the remainder of the United States’ allotment for air- craft carriers under the Washington treaty. The Lexington and the Sara- toga use only 66,000 tons of the 135,000~ ton total the United States has for that purpose. g OFFICERS TO DINE. Reserve Cavalry Men of Philadel- phia Plan Fort Myer Fete.

BY LEMUEL F. PARTON, Special Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, July 10.—It was learned here today from an authoritative source that the American moving picture in- dustry will seek the aid of leading industrialists to defend itself against in- creasingly frequent and ominous moves toward censorship, It is not the fact that investment bankers are pouring floods of new capi- tal into the films which is causing the roducers to look to industry for aid; t is rather that the discovery that American films have stimulated foreign demand for luxuries undreamed of in past_years, and, as the movies have rought in crimonologists to prove they are not crime breeders, they are bring- ing in economists and statisticians to show_that the sybarites of the screen are developing a foreign urge for silk stockings, lace pajamas, automobiles, tiled bathrooms and such fixings, which helps to keep the exportable surplus moving. The movies now asks a return boost. As one film magnate put it, “They are doing the work of 1,000,000 high- pressure American salesmen, constantl at work in every eountry of the world.” False Standards Charged. ‘Women's organizations, including the National Council of Women and the Women's Christian Temperance Union, aside from their attacks on supposed incitements to crime and immorality in the films, are out for the simpler pastorals in which the penthouse orgles, featuring such marketable luxu- ries as those enumerated, would not figure. The Women’s Christian Tem- perance Union at its recent national conference passed a resolution charging the movies with “establishing false standards, of life” and pledging the organization to a drive for “Federal supervision of motion pictures, with higher standards applied at the source of production.” | This criticism is, of course, a detail | of the main drive for censorship, but | it was perhaps an unfortunate one for the reformers, as it gave the producers an idea. They found a two-fold reason for appealing to the manufacturers and industrialists; first there was the little matter of reciprocity, the movies hav- ing boomed foreign trade; and second there was the warning that if the cen- sors were to trim all of the high life On your next trip to New York try The OLUMBIAN New Special Feature Train No Extra Fare leaves Washington 4,00 P.M.

BE SMAI.I_ER Sales Influenée of Motion Pictures in For- eign Markets to Be Used as Wedge to Line Up Manufacturers. out of the films, this great foreign sales force could no longer function. It was easy to see how a hard-boiled textile manufacturer, indifferent to such frivolities as moving pictures, might suddenly becdme interested if saw the comparative curves of Ameri- can movie distribution and silk stock- ing consumption in Czechoslovakia. The film makers began gathering data. Here is one letter which they obtained, writ- ten to his home firm by a trade scout in Argentina, covering South American countries: Trade Scout's Letter. - “I believe American moving pictures, more than any other one influence, have raised living standards throughout the world, and have a great deal to do wil the increasing demand for luxurles. America is a fairyland of wealth and splendor to millions of people in ali countries and it is the pictures of lavish display which have caught their imagi- nation. I believe there are countless peasants here and in Europe who are now wearing shoes and stockings as the direct result of the spread of the Amer- can films. 1'% e Micnache tn Momevideo, il he | in answering the “crime-br th | tending STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Hays to have in his brief case when he calls on a New England industrial baron to recruit him in the line-up against censorship. ~However, neither Mr. Hays nor any of the other mentors and makers are saying anything about the proposed entente with the mill men, as this was to have been a quiet pro- , to marshall all possible influ- ence without any fuss. ‘Today's proposal is for an informal conference of a few representatives of the movie industry, industrialists and investment bankers, to be held, either here or in Philadelphia. The begin- nings of the movement are tentative, but as the movies did a thorough job reeding” at- tack through Carl E. Milliken, former Governor of Maine, they are going about this undertaking in similarly work- manlike fashion. Here is an extract from one 8-pound thesis already sub- mitted by an emergency economist, brought in to lend a hand: “It is highly important that if the vastly augmented production of the United States is to continue, there must be increasing consumption in other countries as well. There is credible evidence that the American cinema is to stimulate new desires and new standards of living in other coun- tries” [Copy; 19; [ 36-In. Theatrical Gauze 100% linen.
