CONTINUOUS FILM INVENTION SEEN AS MOVIE REVOLUTION Young Mexican Engineer’s Camera Claimed to Reduce Fire Hazard and Improve Talkie Production. By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, May 18.—A young Mexican optical engineer, Gabriel Garcia Moreno, has invented what he and his sssociates claim is the first practical motion picture camera with & continous movement of film, This _fmprovement in phy, publicly announced yesterday, may revolutionize the photographic end of the motion picture industry. All motion picture cameras, from Thomas A. Edison’s _ time-honored “black box” and its European con- temporaries, have been built on the intermittent plan by which the film is driven before the aperture one frame, or_plcture, at a time. In Moreno's camera the film flows smoothly and continuously before the aperture without p: for exposure. “The continuous movement, therefore, requires no_ghutter, such as cameras to Jute, and is free from vibra- i tion and is silent. Talkies Need Silence. Since the advent of talking pictures, lent cameras, but complete silence has not been attained. This is due to the inter- mittent mechanism which caused a distinct “clicking.” Cameras being used in Hollywood studios now a boxed or hooded when in the presence of ‘the sensitive microphone.

After he bullt his first camera, he came to Holly~ wood, but it was months before he in- terested any one with sufficlent capital to back his experiments.

By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, May 18—Samuel R. Mc- Kelvie, former Governor of Nebraska and head of the United States delega- tion to the World Wheat Conference which cpened today, outlined his coun-~ try's program this afternoon at a con- ference with newspaper men. By July 1, he said, the United States will be faced with a carryover of roughly 275,000,000 bushels of wheat in the face of the new crop, as compared with an | ordinary annuel carryover of from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 “Consequently he said, “we have come here prepared to co-operate. But we do not proposed to join nor will we | agree to join any international pool. “Furthermore,” he paused so that his hearers could get the full meaning of his words, “we do not propose to dump one bushel of the Farm Board's hold- ings.” This was a reference to reports in the press that the United States was ready to turn loose a flood of stored wheat into an already glutted market, Other Nations Must Aid, “We will not dump,” he sald, “but I don’t mean that we will continue to h{fld lheuumbre]la indefinitely unless others nations also take steps y the situation.” ey He said proposals to ship and dis- tribute wheat gratis to the Chinese had been virtually abandoned, inasmuch as only & small percentage would eventu- ally reach the starving section of the Population for which it was intended. The conference is at the invitation of Canada, which, with the United States, is suffering most from the indigestible wheat carryover, The delegates met for formal organization today. After a general discussion the conference ad- Jjourned until tomorrow. Since Canada is the host to the con- ference, it was expected that her high commissioner, Howard Ferguson, would be elected permanent chairman’ during the organization meeting. May Favor Drastic Curb. Delegates are remaining silent con- cerning the respective proposals, but it is generally believed that reeommenda- tlons in some form for drastic wheat acreage reductions will be its outcome, Soviet Russia—one of the greatest of‘ wheat growing countries—is expected to oppose resolutely any plan which would reduce wheat growing acreage. The United States, by way of contrast, has been concentrating on acreage re- duction as a relief measure that will be the burden of its delgate’s message. Howard Ferguson, Canadian high commissioner, convened the conference today, outlining broad methods of al- leviating the world surplus.
