PAUL, MINNESOTA 2269 FORD PARKWAY I PA ELECTS DUNFOKD: (CONTINUED FROM PAGE EIGHT) and the other a student at Cornell. Joe Dunford behevcs that the FPA will take more positive steps this year to serve the whole film industry, members and non-members alike. FPA's Exeeutive Secretary, Harold Klein, has recently been in Los Angeles talking to producers there about mutual problems, with the idea that many of the West Coast producers' interests are beginning to merge with those of their New York counterparts. Many Interests Represented The FPA track record is excellent, Dunford thinks, in representing the varied interests of so many producers, equipment suppliers and service houses of widely differing size. There is a lot of ego in the film industry, he recognizes — a constant splitting-up and re-grouping of talent — but FPA has managed very well to present a stable viewpoint, and to serve as a steadying influence on the entire industry. Dunford hopes the FPA will be able to carry the favorable climate brought about by Mayor Lindsay's proposals to create more feature film production in New York into the industrial and TV commercial fields. While there will always be a lot of hollering back and forth in relations between the producers and the craft unions, actually, both sides are cooperating very well. • * * * Cinema Arts & Sciences Society Re-Elects Gindhart as President is The Society of Cinema Arts & Sciences, serving filmakers in the Delaware Valley area from headquarters in Philadelphia, Pa., has re-elected Charles T.
