BRITAIN RESENTS
U. S. INTERFERENCE
IN FILM INDUSTRY
HOUSE OF COMMONS IS OP
POSED TO SCHENOK
MERGER
. HOLLYWOOD, July 21 (TP)—A
bitter atruggle for world film prestige
is In the offing today, with the Brit
ish House of Commons ready to enter
the conflict.
Reports from London indicate that
British authorities are strongly oppos
ed to the proposed international mov
ing picture deal announced in New
York by Joseph M. Schenck Chair
man of the 20th Century-Pox Film
Corporation.
The plan is to have Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer purchase half of the 'stock
which 20th Century-Fox now holds in
Metropolis and Bradford Trust, a
concern which owns 57 percent of the
voting stock in the Gaumont British
Company.
British Parliamentarians are report
ed to resent the merger as an attempt
to Americanize a valuable national
propaganda medium. It Is only re
cently that English movie companies)
—particularly Gaumont British—have
gained prestige by producing first-rate
films.
According to Schenck, a new com
pany will be organized to take over
the Metropolis and Bradford hold
ings. The movie magnate added that
a substantial block of the new com
pany’s stock be sold to- the Britisn
public so that real control will remain
British.

‘GROUNDED’ FOR WEEK

Mrs. Dorothy Moffett of Birmingham
has been "grounded" for one week.
Mrs. Moffett doesn’t fly an air
plane, but she does, or rather did,
irlve an automobile. One morning
mat week she ran over a stop sign on
aer way to work. Because it was
tier first offense the charges were
dropped. Two days later she was
back in court for running over the
same stop sign.
This time she was fined $6. Un
able to pay the fine, Mrs. Moffett
told the court she guessed she “Just
had to go to Jail."
However, rather than send a lady
to Jail for a minor traffic violation
the Judge decided to ground her.
Now, for a period of one week, she
will have to walk to and from work
each day, a distance of some 30
blocks.
What's more, during the week she’s
grounded, Mrs. Moffett will have to
walk wherever she goes.
Her sentence specifies that she
must not enter an automobile, taxi
cab, bus or trolley.

BY GERMAN BAN
HOLLYWOOD. July 21 (TP)
Hollywood Is going to protest against
Germany’s effort to impose a censor
ship on American film productions.
The State Department will be asked
today to intervene in the situation
which has resulted in the effort by
the Nazis to prevent any picture un
favorable to Germany from being
produced in Hollywood.
According to the Berlin government,
any production which tends to cast
a reflection on life or conditions in
present-day Germany will be banned
henceforth in the third Reich, and
pressure is being brought to bear on
actors and actresses In Hollywood not
to participate in any such pictures.
Today producers in Hollywood de
clared in a protest to the State De
partment that this constituted a cen
sorship by Germany of the American
screen. Moreover, they protested that
it was an International censorship,
since Hollywood was the leading ex
ported of films to the outside world.
The protest arose ovre the film
made by a young American woman,
Isobel Steele, who was held in prison
by the Nazis for four months. On
orders from Berlin, German consuls
in the United States have wamea
Hollywood stars against appearing in
other screen productions dealing with

AIR COMMERCE BUREAU
GIVES RE ASSURING
FIGURES
WASHINGTON, July 21 (TP).—
Women are taking to the air In
America—even though they are still
in the minority. The air commerce
bureau reported today that there are
only 420 women licensed to fly In this
country. There are 15,204 licenses
in existence.
The largest number of women pi
lots—a total of 260—hold “private
licenses.” These entitle them to fly
their own planes and to take up
friends—as long as they don’t collect
money for their flying. The next
largest group of 70 Is comprised of
“transport pilots.” These are the
topflight fliers, engaged in general
commercial flying with permission to
act as co-pilots on transport airliner*.
They must have a special license
to be chief pilots. Twenty-eight wom
en have what is called a "limited
commercial license” These tickets
are similar to transport licenses, ex
cept the pilot Is limited to flying
within a ten-mile radius of her land
ing field. Both transport and limit
ed commercial pilots can charge
money for their services. Sixty wom
en are amateur fliers. This is the
• learner” stage. They are not al
lowed to take a plane up unless they
are with a pilot licensed In a higher
classification. Two other women are
gilder pilots and can’t fly anything
with a motor.
