Secretary Perkins appeared before the committee and opposed the recommendation as premature.

Madame Perkins was especially vehement in her opposition, declaring that while she Was not opposed to the principles involved, she felt that “the shipping industry is not ripe” for such a law and “that it may even prove to be disastrous” to try to impose such a statute on maritime workers.
Eugene-O'Neill is the winner of a Nobel prize for literature and a world-famous writer of plays, but his drama, "Ah, Wilderness" is lightly regarded by U.S.C. students, who rank it next to last,in a current "Play Popularity" contest.
Play Voting Ends Today
Sherwood, Molnar Dramas Lead After Two-Day Vote
Second day of voting on the most popular play found “Liliom” by Ferenc Molnar and “Petrified Forest’’ by Robert Sherwood leading the others nearly three to one.

Choices are not limited to those on the ballot, but those listed have been chosen out of a list of several hundred as the most probable to be presented. RIVALRY IS SPIRITED The spirited rivalry that began on the first day between “Liliom” and “Petrified Forest” has continued with but two votes separating them. “As You Like It,” “Hedda Gabler,” and “Ah Wilderness” follow in that order.
Complete tabulation of the first and second day votes is: “Liliom,” 96; "Petrified Forest,” 94: “As You Like It,” 40; “Hebba Gabler,” 34; “Ah Wilderness,” 32; and Miscellaneous, 20.
SUGGESTED PLA<S
Some of the plays suggested by students were: “Pursuit of Happiness,” “Tobacco Road,” “Who’s Who in Hell,” “Twelfth Night,” “Craig’s Wife,” “Berkeley Square,” “Accent on Youth,” ‘‘Dead End,” and “Alien Com.”

French, British Fear Teutonic Invasion
Powers To Lodge Joint Representation In Berlin, Vienna
LONDON, Feb 16 —(U.P)—Great Britain and France, fearful that Nazi penetration in Austria may be the groundwork of a German invasion eastward, agreed tonight to lodge joint representations in Berlin and Vienna asking assurance that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler intends to preserve Austrian independence.
The parallel action, supposedly on French initiative, came after Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden f>atly stated in the house of commons that he had “reason to believe” Hitler’s ambitions in Austria include more than the mere injection j of Nazis into key cabinet posts. NAZIS CAUSE ALARM
Not since Hitler’s march into the Rhineland on March 7, 1936. in defiance of the Versailles treaty has a Nazi “fait accompli” stirred such alarm and bewilderment.

UNWANTED SUPPLIES RECEIVED AT TAHOE
TAHOE, CITY, Cal., Feb. 16— (U.P.)— Snowbound residents of this Lake Tahoe resort town turned out en masse tonight to see a specially chartered airplane drop them food supplies they did not need.
Flares were lighted at the Tahoe City golf course, in the
center of town and only a short dis-*---
tance from the town’jj grocery store, well-stocked with canned goods.
The plane, a huge airliner, circled the golf course five times at a 500-foot altitude, and then as the crowd of 30 spectators cheered, dropped three boxes.
Two boxes, containing about 50 pounds of meat each, plunged’into the eight-foot snow and burst open, but the meat was salvaged. One box will be sent to Brockway, where a number of residents were reported short of food, and the other will be kept at Tahoe City.
CONTAINER HITS TREE
The third container struck a tree and scattered vegetables over a wide area of the town. Residents said the job of recovering them from the deep snow Would be virtually impossible.
United Press correspondents at Tahoe City and Truckee carefully checked leading resorts along the lake front by telephone and found them well supplied with staple food.
"We are grateful to get fresh meat, vegetables, and fruits,” the Tahoe city representative said, “but there is no one at the lake in des-parate need of fooa.
“There may be a few families at Brockway who are in need of food, but there is plenty available to supply them.”
ALL HAVE STAPLES
Walt M. Barrett, publisher of the Sierra Sun at Truckee, telephoned resorts at Emerald Bay, Tallac,
Brockway. and Tahoe City and said all had plenty of staples on hand, including canned fruit.
Reports of suffering that led a San Francisco newspaper to charter an airplane to drop fresh foods at the lake were attributed to the proprietor of a lodge at Tahoe City

Athletic Managers Called for Meeting
FEATURES BILLED
Further evidencing his showmanship, he billed feature atractions and drew huge crowds during Holy Week when the theatre was ordinarily shunned.
“People want to be entertained, not preached to,” Mayer remarked. “If a lesson is to be taught, it must be done through entertainment and subtle intimations.”
Recommending that the successful showman play up to the decency and good taste of his audience, the executive quoted Will Hays, czar of the movie industry: “It isn’t the length of the step that counts; its the direction.”
YOUNG MEN NEEDED Although he told of the need for young college-trained men in the industry, Mayer particularly emphasized the necessity of an older group of persons to balance the "somewhat extreme ideas of the newer school.”
He promised cinematography students the aid, advice, and encouragement of the producers of the major studios. He also intimated that he intends to call on U.S.C. for any assistance that his studio might need. In commending the department of cinematography he prophesied that it will “open the avenue to thousands of persons to gain technical knowledge as well as to develop their characters. “Influence,” he said, “may get you inside the doors of a studio but only ability will keep you there.”
