A-14 CONSERPTIONLS TONARPROFTBLL Army Discipline for Business Leaders Dropped From Nye Plan. ’ By the Associated Press. Heeding the advice of the War Department, a Senate Military Af- fairs Subcommittee today struck out | of the Nye anti-war profits bill a proposal to conscript captains of in- | dustry in war time. The bill, an outgrowth of investi- gations by the Munitions Committee, headed by Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota, had proposed that industrialists making war materials should be subject to Army discipline, | including court-martial. If the Gov- | ernment and the plant managers disagreed, the latter might be sent to the trenches. In%its revised form, this “military control” of industry was wiped out. The President merely would be given authority to apply such regulations as he deemed fit. In event of a dis- | agreement, industrial leaders might | be removed into other Government | service—not the trenches. If rela- | tions between the Government and | an industrial plant should break | down utterly, however, the Govern- ment could commandeer the enter- prise. The bill, drafted by the Munitions ; Committee in the hope of having it | enacted at this session, has laid for several weeks in the subcommittee. Secretary of War Dern sent the committee a summary of War De- partment “views,” urging elimination of industrial conscription. “It is believed,” the summary said, *“that eny attempt to introduce mili- tary control into industrial manage- | ment in war will cause uncertainty and confusion and will result in seri- ously crippling the industrial effort | of the Nation.” HIT-RUN DRIVER SOUGHT | IN PEDESTRIAN’S INJURY Boy, 5, Suffers Serious Head Hurts When Struck by Car ‘While Playing.

By the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, June 14—Two young | men from the social register today are pointed out as the authors of Holly- | wood’s newest uneasiness. They are John Hay Whitney, 30, and his cousin, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, 35. As officials of Pioneer Pictures, Inc., they have installed “Becky Sharp,” a motion picture photographed in colors, at a theater here and set a great part of the industry to anxious speculation. Actors and directors are openly con- cerned. Actresses, especially, are fear- ful. Their pigmentation may be un- suitable to the color camera, they fear, and they.will be hooted from favor like the stars of the silent movies | when talkies came in. Most likely to be effected, the indus- | try agrees, are the directors. “Becky | Sharp” was produced with an eye to| highlighting drama with color, hence a director must know color for its value | in relation to drama. | Robert Edmond Jones, stage de- signer and artist who supervised the | settings and costumes for | “Becky Sharp,” sees in the present experiment the elevation of the scenic | designer to a position of importance equal with the director, D A PO New York Ad Man Dies.
