WOMAN DIRECTOR 1S KEEN FOR WORK Desire to Be Active Gave Dorothy Arzner Her Place in Motion Pictures. By the Assoclated Press. HOLLYWOOD, May 24—It is not ambition, in the usual sense of the word, that has brought Dorothy Arzner to her position as the only outstanding woman director in Hollywood. It is simply the desire to be active, to use her faculties to the utmost to creative ends. “I make no plans for the future,” Miss Arzner said. “I do not know to- day what I shall be doing tomorrow. about yesterday. I believe in living for today, in doing the best I can today, and I know that that will prepare me for tomorrow. People who have ambi- tion are distracted from today by thoughts of tomorrow and yesterday.” Impression of Shyness. She speaks softly, earnestly and directly, and yet gives an impression of shyness. Her black hair is closely cropped, and she wears tailored clothes, relieved with slight touches of color. Her eyes reflect a sensitive, searching mind. Alive with energy, she appears rather weary always. “I enjoy being active,” she said. “Directing is activity, and I like it. But I enjoyed my work when I was cutting other directors’ pictures, and I still enjoy cutting. I could be happy outside of motion pictures entirely, be- cause as long as I have my health I can be active—even if it's only working in a garden!” She became a director, she said, because from her first experience in pictures, when she began as a script typist, she observed that upon the direc- tor depended, in the final analysis, the worth of a picture. She went through the mill of training, from script typist to script holder, to film cutter and, five years ago, to a director’s chali She also had done some screen writi Matter of Mentality. i Miss Arzner declared, “is & matter of mentality, and mental- ity has no masculine nor feminine, I have no ‘woman’s angle’ on directing, and my pictures are judged on their merits, as other directors’ films are.” She is one person in pictures who does not believe that the sun rises and sets on the movie business. She be- lieves directing is the most important work in pictures, but not that pictures are the most important thing in the world. But they interest her. FEDERAL SUF;ERVIS_ION OF INDUSTRY URGED New York Industrialist Says U. 8. Should Watch Human Side of Employment. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, May 24—A demand for greater governmental supervision of industry was made by James A. Cor- coran, secretary of the New York State Industrial Commission, at the Regional Industrial Conference here yesterday at which the Catholic Church seeks a solu- tion of present economic ills. The conference is one of 33 being held throughout the country. The Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore, is sponscr for the Baltimore session. Mr. Corcoran’s solution called for the . supervision of the kind of men who .| enter industry with the idea of pre- . (venting the unfit from getting into an industrial line and wrecking the entire situation. “Too little attention has been paid to the human side of industry, and to the making of provision for aging em- - | pioyes,” Mr. Corcoran said. “The Government should control the character of men who enter industry and not permit any man who is not fit to direct a particular line to come into it and offer the danger of wrecking the entire industry by his own lack of knowledge and ability.” Demand for Government funds to | start building operations and for a five- day week of seven hours daily was made by Edward F. McGrady, legislative rep- resentative of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. McGrady said that Gov- ernment appropriations would give em= ployment to several hundreds of thou- sands of men, adding that a change of standard of work hours is necessary to avert permanent unemployment.

G By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, May 24.—Government pro- | duction figures for the first quarter of this year show that while the basic lines of heavy and light industry in- creased their output considerably over | that of the same period last year, they | failed appreciably to attain the quotms‘; set for them in the final year of the five-year plan. ‘The percentages by which various key branches of industry fell short of the program set for them in the first three months indicate that strenuous efforts will be necessary if these shortcomings are made up during the next three quarters and the plan for the year as a whole is fulfilled. In heavy industry the returns for coal, pig iron and steel production, which’always have been the most back- ward of the country’s industrials, re- vealed them as still falling behind the ambitious control figures, although greatly in excess of last year's output for the similar period. Transportation Is Retarded. The same held true in transportation, another basic link in the economic | chain, which has been one of the chief retarding factors in industrial develop- ment, due to inadequate facilities and | unskilled operations. Of the light industrial products, con- sisting of manufactured goods, only the output of soap fulfilled the plan allotted for them for the first three months of 1932, All the rest, while surpassing that of the same period last year, fell below the control figures. Official concern has been manifest over the sharp decline in coal produc- | tion noted in the first quarter as com- pared with the previous three months, and it, mere than transportation, is| blamed for interfering with the produc- tion of steel. Machine Industry Hampered. ‘The shortage of steel, in turn, con- stitutes a menace to the machine- building industry as well as new rail- road construction. Strenuous measures are being applied to the coal regions in an effort to start production on the upcurve again. The breakdown in operations at the | Nizhni-Novzorod Ford automobile plant | and the serious difficulties encountered | by some of the larger agricultural com- bine factories were attributed mainly to absence of single, responsible directing | heads and unskilled labor. Lack of fuel and poor transportation | affected the lighter manufacturing en- | terprises, but the chief fault was found tc have been unsatisfactory administra- tion combined with insufficient skilled operating personnel. Coal Production Gains. Coal production for the quarter amounted to 17,221,000 tons, an increase of 35.6 per cent over 1931, but repre- senting only 86.9 per cent of the first- quarter program Output of pig iron is placed at 1,398,- 000 tons, a gain of 27.5 per cent, but 20.1 per cent under the plan Steel production was 1.468.000 tons, an increase of 16 per cent, but repre- senting only 79.3 per cent of the plan | Freight car loadings for the first quarter amounted to 67,000,000 tons, an increase of 32 per cent, over 1931, but 14 per cent below the plan. Figures for light industry included: | Shoes, 18,116,000 pairs, increase of 13 per cent over 1931; 82.3 per cent of plan. | Textiles (cotton cloth), 624456,000 | meters, 8 per cent increase; 91.2 per cent of plan. | Woolen cloth, 26,000,000 meters, 4| per cent increase: 96.9 per cent of plan. | Soap (tollet and laundry), 61,396 tons, 7&8 per cent increase; 6.3 per cent over plan. Glassware, 5.2 per cent increase; 86 | per cent of plan. T | PRINCE REWARDS BOY ‘ WHO KEPT BACK TEARS | Lifeguards Do Not Gets Full I Uniform of Corps. LONDON (/) —Peter Garvie, a little boy who wanted to be a lifeguard, was told by a nurse, as he was having sev- eral stitches taken out of a wound, that “lifeguards don't cry.” ““Perhaps if you won't cry the Prince of Wales will make you one of his lifeguards,” she said. The prince visit- ;ed the hospital a few days later, and | the little fellow called out: “I want to | be a lifeguard.” The nurse told the prince how brave the boy had been. Two days later a little lifeguard’s uniform, complete in every detail, was sent to Peter Garvie. with a card: “From the Prince of Wales. | e | Commons Sustains Tariff.

R. WA HOOVER MAY REST ON MEMORIAL DAY Expected to Establish Prece- dent in Not Leading Na- tional Tribute. HINGTON, President Hoover does not expect to participate in any ceremonies on May 30 in observance of Memorial day, but will spend the day quietly in the se- clusion of his fishing camp on the| Rapidan River in Virginia. Unless he changes his decision, the President will be establishing scmethfing! of a precedent. At least, so far back as the oldest employes of the White House can remember, this will be the! first time, with the exception of the period when Woodrow Wilson was {ll, that the President has not led the Na- tion in paying tribute to the defenders of the Union. Arlington National Cemetery, in re- cent years, has been the scene of most of the celebrations. However, on several occasions, the Presidents have jour- neyed to Gettysburg, Pa., to deliver ora- tions at the National Cemetery. Last Memorial day, President Hoover de- livered a speech at Valley Forge. Numerous invitations have been re- ceived at the White House for the President to participate in Memorial day exercises. One was for ceremonies at the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in Arlington National Cemetery. According to associates of the President, all of these invitations have been declined. Although the President's plans are by no means definite, it is understood his intention is to enjoy a brief holiday at_his mountain retreat. Acccrding to White House information, the President hopes the business of his office will ,)cr- mit him to leave the city Friday after- noon and remain away until Tuesday morning. Mr. Hoover on the first Memorial day he was in office made the principal oration at the amphitheater in Arlln!-l ton. The next Memorial day he deliv- ered an address at Gettysburg. Presi- dent Coolidge delivered an address at Gettysburg in 1928 and on each of the other Memorial days while he was President he journeyed to_Arlington. | President Harding made addresses at Arlington on two Memorial days. In 1922 he dedicated the Lincoln Memorial. $3,500,000 OIL PURCHASE IS ANNOUNCED BY NAVY !
