Hays Due lo Leave On Eastern Visit
Substantiating earlier indications that the Hays office, as such, does not intend — at least for the time being — to chart a course of action for the industry in face of the European crisis, local attaches reported that Will Hays, MPPDA president, was scheduled to return to New York over the weekend. It was believed he would depart without calling a general Producers Ass’n meeting which was postponed shortly after Hays, on arriving here, announced he intended to hold.
One of Hays’ last accomplishments during his stay on the coast was the delivery of an address before the American Bankers Ass’n, in which he discussed the foreign situation and its possible effects on motion picture production and distribution.
On the labor front, also, the Hays office has been more than usually quiet. Pat Casey, chief of the labor contact department, has notified his aides here he intends to remain in New York indefinitely.
