LIMIT ON ACTOR SALARIES

mimsiraior, caning ror the assess
ment of qnes up to $10,000 against
producers found to have hired talent
at "unreasonably" high salaries. Re
cently it wa3 disclosed that the white
nouse was opposed to the payment
to film people of salaries five or six
times as large as the president's.
Originally the proposed code contain
ed nothing which could be interpreted
as an attack to fix maximums. It
did, however, provide for checks on
competitive bidding for a star's serv
ices. The purpose of the new provi
sion was self described as intended
"to aoid the payment of sums unrea
sonably in excess of the fair value of
personal services which results in un
fai rand destructive competition."
It would give the code authority
power to investigate whether an em
ployer in the picture industry had
agreed to pay an unreasonable in
ducement to any person to enter his
employ.

Urge Control of
Liquor by a Pri
vate Sales Firm
Rockefeller Survey Plan Is to Banish
Profit Motive Cocktails
- Are Popular.
New York,! Oct. 13. Creation of a
private liquor sales corporation as a
possible modification of the Rocke
feller survey's proposed state liquor
authority plan was outlined today in
a lurtner report.
This would eliminate direct retail
sales by the authority, the report
said. A plan,. for establishing agen
cies to sell spirits for on-premises con
sumption also was discussed.
"The sales corporation would be
set up under a special corporate char
ter," the survey said. "There would
be a small board of directors, con
sisting in part of persons elected by
the stockholders and receiving a
small fee for each meeting, and In
part of the members of the alcohol
control authority, ex-officio.
Restricts Stock Sale.
"The original sale and subsequent
transfers of stock should be restrict
ed so as to prevent any of the stock
and any of the directorships from
falling into the hands of persons or
corporations having a direct or bene
ficial interest in the liquor business."
Profits beyond dividends, the re
port said, should go to the alcohol
control authority.
A survey added that it eliminated
the profit motive from liquor sales.
Discussing on-premises consump
tion, the report said:
"Public opinion in some states will
undoubtedly demand the sale of all
kinds of alcoholic beverages by the
glass in hotels and restaurants. Many
hotel guests, if denied a cocktail with
their meals, will buy a whole bottle
of spirits for consumvtion in their
rooms.
Cocktail Habit Popular.
"We cannot blind our eyes of the
popularitf of cocktail3 in America.
The growth of the cocktail habit ha3
accompanied prohibition and has In
deed been stimulated by it, because
bootleggers could more readily fur
nish alcohol in concentrated form
suitable for making cocktails than
they could the bulkier alcoholic bev
erages." The state authority, the survey
said, would regulate the sale by fix
ing prices and hours and even month
ly quotas of the quantities of bever
ages to be purchased by the hotel3
and restaurants at wholesale prices.

Relief Corpora
tion Seeks to Care
for the Hungry
Food and Clothing Will Be Purchased
by the New Agency to Meet
Economic Situation.
Washington. The program of the
new nonprofit federal surplus relief
corporation will be geared to the
needs of the hungry rather than to
the economic necessity of relieving
the market of crop surpluses.
The corporation is the new branch
of the federal relief administration
recently announced by the President
to buy food and clothing for the
needy as outright grants to the
states.

The agricultural adjustment ad
ministration and the federal relief
administration are working hand-in
hand. The corporation has been
evolved to partly clear up problem
for both of them. The charter is be
ing written by the federal relief ad
ministrator, Harry L. Hopkins, named
chairman by the President; Secretary
Wallace and Secretary Ickes. They
will constitute the governing board
"But obviously the corporation is
not croins to buy surpluses just to
store in warehouses," Hopkins says.
"We are going to buy what the fam-
ilie son relief need,
ilies on relief need.
for two purposes: To feed the needy
and to take up surpluses. Plans for
operation are too formative yet to
say whether we can take up the en
tire surplus in any commodity. Ob
viously, it would be impossible in
some commodities cotton, for in
stance." The new corporation will carry on
approximately the same duties as the
federal relief administration now en
gaged in making loans and grants of
cash to states.

The aim of both is to care for the
needy, officials point out, but the for

Further, the corporation will give
outright grants of food, rather than
of cash, as the relief administration
has been doing and will continue to
do.
The corporation will operate on

323 million dollars left from the '-
billion voted by the last congress for
relief and from the processing and
compensating taxes levied under the
agricultural adjustment act.
It is estimated that between 4 00
million and 500 million dollars will
be gathered in processing taxes this
year. Under the regulations of the
act a large slice of the fund goes
back to the farmers who agree to
limit production. But a margin is
