C SUBSTITUTE PLAN FOR POTATO GAIN | Officials Intimate 30% of Customs Receipts Would Finance Control. | By the Associated Press A. A A leanings toward a voluntary | potato control program as a substitute for a compulsory tax control plan grew more pronounced today as one official | privately indicated a possible source of funds for financing a voluntary | | program—customs reeeipts. The A. A. A. amendments, recently passed, provide that 30 per cent of |the gross customs receipts shall be set aside for the Farm Administra- | tion. Controller General McCarl re- | bathing girls were a riot when there cently held that part of the fund might be used to pay a subsidy on the 1935 cotton crop. Officials have estimated 30 per cent | of the customs receipts at the present | rate of collections would amount to | more than $100,000,000 annually. Cotton Subsidy Need. In a proposed budget submitted to | the controller general, the Farm Ad- | ministration estimated a maximum of $50,000,000 would be needed for the | cotton subsidy. Even so, one official | figured that from $50,000,000 to $60,- 000,000 should be left, which could be used for paying benefits to potato farmers for controlling production. A. A A officials today were pre- paring for the meeting here tomorrow of potato growers who are expected to outline their views on control of | production by taxation. The tax plan calls for establish- ment of a national allotment and the | taxing of all potatoes sold in excess | of the allotment, at the rate of three- fourths of a cent a pound. The A. A. A said today no funds had been found to enforce the tax collection provisions and the heavy penalties | provided for selling potatoés without | an allotment stamp or a tax stamp. G. 0. P. Accuses Roosevelt. Some A. A. A. officials were openly hopeful the tax plan will be side- § | tracked and some form of voluntary | control plan adopted at the hearing. | The Republican National Commit- | tee, in an issue of its pamphlet, Facts and Opinjon, yesterday accused Presi- dent Roosevelt of “ignoring” the new * | potato law “despite his constitutional ¢ | duty to execute the laws.” |~ “Open revolt and defiance” of the | 1aw led him to this, it was contended, | and the A.

C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, Melcher in Filmlarid Among the Stars Being One of a Series of Hollywood Chronicles by The Star’s Dramatic Critic. BY E. de 8. MELCHER. 1 OLLYWOOD, October 1.—The day of the “quickie” and cheap pictures is almost over. Hollywood has come to real- ize that the public can no longer be fooled. Custard pies were all very well when there were no Shearers behind or in front of them. Mack Sennett's weren't any Luise Rainers with which to beguile the hours. And Harold Lloyd could run around in a fit when he didn’t have such opuses as “The Milky Way” at his command. Now, however, the picture world seethes with activity on a large scale. At M-G-M there have recently been completed such works as “Tale of Two | Cities” and “Mutiny on the Bounty.” | Twentieth Cen!_ury-l'ox right now is| up to its neck in “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo"—one | of the most lavish productions of Paramount is spending plenty on Mr. Lloyd's “The Milky ‘'Way,” the new Mae West flicker, and in which Bing Ethel Merman's opposite. And War- ner Bros. have spent plenty on Jim- | mie Cagney's “Frisco Kid.” ‘, No picture we have seen out here | has, however, atmospheric details down to a “t' as much as “Capt. Blood,” which features (as we have mentioned before) Errol Flynn and Olivia De Havilland. And the War- ner Bros, anxious to have people see | how such a picture is made, allow a small group dally to wander into that fabulous sound set where pirates are | making bold again and cutlasses are | as numerous as extras, and where | that monster boat rises up out of a wooden ocean, flapping its giant sail in the face of the deadest breeze that ever floated a ship. We climbed up onto the back of that ship yesterday, and surrounded by camerimen, technicians, make-up | artists, wardrobe artists, Director “Mike” Curtiz, little Anita Louise (who had just been told that she will play the role of the voung mother in “Anthony Adverse”) and ‘Writer Carlyle Jones, saw this pirate ship nose into the waves and Peter (Errol Flynn) shake his fists at them. We saw the heavens quake, the waters rise and fall and sparkle, and clouds run by as though they were in earnest. And standing there on this motionless boat, Carlyle Jones suddenly turned and said, “You know, I think I could be seasick.” ‘The fact that this could occur on good old terra firma is a further tribute to the Hollywood miracie- makers. The skill with which, for instance, this “process shot” has been designed is something of which Warner Bros. may well feel proud. The heavens, the clouds and th: seas are painted on a backdrop as high as a three-story building—the water being made to sparkle by stringing tinsel on wires and then flooding the wires with light. As the motionless ship begins its voyage into nowhere, a crew of strong, silent men hauls this vast screen slowly up and down—and at the same time another man may be seen hang- ing on to a rope which regulates the flapping of the sails. Sitting aloft and concealed in the rigeing is another little man, who does nothing more than quiver every now and then, so as to make the rigging quiver, while on deck the crew of Hollywood pirates moves slowly back and forth, pretending that the ocean is under them.

Only then did you snap back to earth—realize that this was today and not three centuries ago—and that the pirate who was standing there between shots, having his face pow- dered and his wig combed, was not the pirate you had begun to think he was—was really Errol Plynn, actor, voyager, adventurer—also the husband of Lily Damita. * *x % % SVCH are the tricks that go into the making of pictures—tricks that save time and tide and money—and which, if they are well done, cannot | possibly hurt any one's feelings.

By the Associated Press. ‘TOKIO, October 2—Count Michi- masa Soyejima, member of the Jap- anese Olympic Preparstons Commis- tee, has announced receipt of a let- ter from Premier Benito Mussolini, re- peating a promise that Italy would withdraw its claims to hold the 1940 Olympic games at Rome, in support of Tokio claims. Diplomatic quarters interpreted this as a move to gain Japanese sympathy for Italy in the East African crisis. Japanese authorities have insisted that Mussolini made a similar promise to Soyejima last February, when the latted visited Rome, but at the meete ing of the Olympic Committee in March in Oslo, Italy reasserted its claims and blocked acceptance of To- kio’s invitation.” TICKET OFFICE: Washington Airport.
