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 receipts.
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
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 potatoes without
an allotment stamp or a tax stamp.
G. O. P. Arcuses 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 Opinion, 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
law led him to this. It was contended,
and the A. A. A. is "frantically en
deavoring to get out from under the
charge that the potato control law is
the logical result of the entire agri
cultural adjustment policy.”
CHEESE DAY FESTIVAL
SMELLS OF LIMBURGER
Postmaster in Famous Sniffing
Duel Comments on How It
Gets That Way.
By the Associated Press.
MONROE, Wis., October 2.—Greer
County producers can show him how
they put holes in Swiss cheese, but
the No. 1 guest at today’s Cheese day
festival has hia own Ideas about how
llmburger, odorously speaking, gets
that way
No. 1 guest will be Postmaster War
ren Miller of Independence, Iowa.
His objection to handling llmburger
in the mails precipitated the famous
sniffing duel of last Spring. Defeated
by Postmaster John Burkhard of
Monroe, who contended limburger's
scent was of lilac sweetness, Miller
withdrew his objections.
Miller said he believes the Festival
Committee inadvertently tipped off
the secret of limburger's fragrance.
“They’re going to have as honor
guests 75 men who were making lim
burger in 1890,” he explained. “I’ll
bet they’re still shipping the stuff
those fellows made back there In the
mauve decade.”

Being One of a Series of Hollywood Chronicles by The Star’s Dramatic Critic.
BY E. de 8. MELCHER.
OLLYWOOD, October 1.—The
da; 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 Bennett s
bathing girls were a riot when there
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 Century-Fox right now is
up to its neclc in "The Man Who
Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo"—one
; of the most lavish productions of
the season. Paramount is spending
plenty on Mr. Lloyd’s “The Milky
Way," the new Mae West flicker, and
| “Anything Goes," in which Bing
Crosby will sing “You’re the Top" to
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 earner imen, technicians, make-up
artists, wardrobe artists. Director
"Mike” Curtiz, little Anita Louise
i (who had just been told that she
will play the role of the young
mother in "Anthony Adverse”) and
Writer Carlyle Jones, saw this pirate
i ship nose into the waves and Peter
Blood (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 (Irma is a further
tribute to the Hollywood miracle
makers. The skill with which, for
instance, this "process shot” has
I been designed is something of which
j Warner Bros, may well feel proud.
The heavens, the clouds and th: seas
| are painted on a backdrop as high
i as a three-story building—the water
I 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
i flapping of the sails.
1 Sitting aloft and concealed in the
rigging is another little man, who
does nothing more than quiver ever)’
: now and then, so as to make the
I rigging quiver, while on deck the
crew of Hollywood pirates moves
slowly back and forth, pretending
that the ocean is under them.
It was easy then, yesterday, as Di
rector Curtiz holloed. "All right—get
them rolling”—"O. K”—“Action!”—
to believe that this epic phantom of
the seas was really In motion. If you
looked straight ahead, cutting out
side views of wrooden trappings, studio
gadgets and starry-eyed visitors, you
could readily imagine that you were
heading out into the deep and that
any moment. If a bullet landed in
your lap, you'd go rolling down to
Davy Jones’ locker.
Everything. In fact. Indicated that
this was water, not land, and that
these were pirates and not human be
ings—when the director yowled,
"Cut!" and the waters suddenly stop
ped and the heavens stalled and the
THEY WEAR LONGER
STILL LOOK GOOD!
thMt’s why FLORSHEIM SHOES
COST LESS PER DAY OF SERVICE!
%
It isn’t only how long they wear—but also how well
they wear that makes Florsheim Shoes the splendid
▼alues they are! There’s no down-at-the-heel shab
biness to Florsheims; they grow old gracefully, and
their quality is reflected in the mellowness of their
declining days. You’ll wear them longer than
ordinary shoes . . . that’s why, if you count the
number of days wear, you’ll find they coat you less.

sails went dead and a funny little
woman with a make-up box came up
to Peter Blood and wiped the perspira
tion off his brow.
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 Flynn, actor,
voyager, adventurer—also the husband
of Uly Damlta.

OUCH 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.
We wandered from there through
‘‘The Petrified Forest"—a forest on
sound stage 12, where once the Busby
Berkeley girls danced in weird rota
tion while Ruby Keeler’s face appeared
all over a subway—and where now
Leslie Howard will play his little game
of banditry with Bette Davis—and
from there we sneaked in to see what
the airport looks like they are build
lng for "Celling Zero”—to which. In
cidentally, Jimmie Cagney. Pat O’Brien
and June Travers will appear.
Afterward the sun had taken one
of Its typically quick dips Into night
and It was time to see what the open
ing of something called the "CtoegrlH”
would be like—an opening which, like
the opening of a new film, a barber
shop or a market, had floodlights,
celebrities and more elbow raising.
Chief fun on this evening was Joan
Blandell, who looks better than she
has ever looked to her life—and whc
remembers, with pleasure, the lunch
eon that John J. Payette gave for hei
to Washington to the Warner Bros,
lunch room the last time she wae
there.
Today there was to be lunch at
her house—but the phone has Just
rung and a plaintive little voice hai
said: "Sorry—no lunch—I've Just had
word from the studio—I have to do s
scene without my hat—that means ]
have to bleach my hair. Good-by, I'n
off to bleach my hair!"

IL DUCE AGAIN FAVORS
OLYMPICS IN TOKIO
Withdraws Claim to Oamoa in
Borne—Believed Seeking
Japanese Sympathy.
By the Associated Press.
TOKIO. October 2—Count Michi
masa Soyejlma. member of the Jap
anese Olympic Preparations Commit
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 1040
. Olympic games at Rome, In support of

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 Soyejlma last February, when the
latted visited Rome, but at the meet*
ing of the Olympic Committee in
March in Oslo, Italy reasserted its
claims and blocked acceptance of To*
klo’s Invitation.”
