Walker and Cohen (Continued from Page 1) of the national organization: "Information just reached us of certain slanderous telegrams sent througliout the country making untruthful and damaging charges against Senator Walker. Walker has been urged to lead exhibitors of the country to healthier and more profital)le business conditions which some of us believe only he can do. He has consistently refused up to date. Most of us believe it is not only a disgrace, but a sad commentary on our manhood and gratitude to repay his loyal, unselfish, and wonderful work with abuse and lies. Exhibitors knowing Walker's entire history are indignant and keenly resent this unjustified attack, and we believe it would be a calamity to us to lose Walker, which seems certain if the men of integrity and decency in our business do not reassure him of their confidence and appreciation." Small Show Cards in Discard The National Association, as a result of a questionnaire sent to its members states that the 8 by 10 inch show card is going into the discard, in place of 11 by 14 inch cards.

There is no need to pay an extortionate bonus for the financing of worth-'while productions. If you have a standing in this industry which assures your value at the box office the financing of your productions can be arranged on a business-like basis. Where the financing of such productions amounts to what is extortion, or in other words is "pawn broking," harm to this entire industry results.
