THE ■s^a^ DAILV Wednesday, December 19, 28 Commission to Act if Charge is Sustained iContinued from Page 1) hering to its policy of keeping confidential all complaints on which formal action has not been taken. This precludes anv discussion on the complaint filed by Bennie Berger, Grand Forks, N. U., exhibitor, alleging that Northwest Theater Circuit (Finkelstein & Ruben), has violated the overbuying clause of the code and so is keeping product away from him. . All complaints received are made the subject of a preliminary investigation to determine whether they are based on fact, and if found so to be based, the respondent is called in for an informal discussion and given an opportunity to pledge himself to discontinue the practices complained of. If the respondent refuses to accede "to the commission's demands, a formal complaint is issued and the case set for trial. In rnost instances in recent years, complaints have been settled by the informal procedure. Hails Selection of Myers as Fine Step {Continued from Page 1) map as a substantial and respected bodv in the industry. "Exhibitors" said Sax, "whether as individuals or as recognized bodies, are entitled to first consideration, where matters, politic, economic, or fraternal are concerned. With a man of the stature of Mr. Myers, as its representative head, it seems an assured prospect that Allied will receive such consideration. "Mr. Myers' record as chairman of the Federal Trade Commission shows him to be a man of acute preceptions, rigorous principals on fair play, and unquestioned dealings in business administration. It is a pleasure to welcome such a man to our industry and I salute Allied on their impressive selection." Gov't Cooperation Sought on "Kontingent" (Continued from Page 1) signatory to the Geneva compact which has for its purpose the elimination of artificial trade walls in international commerce. Serious consideration is being directed toward an effort to keep this country out of such an agreement unless more equitable consideration is given to ordinary conduct of America's foreign business in films. The industry generally believes that it can do much in diverting sentiment away from the Geneva conference, thereby endangering the entire program, since without the United States successful consummation of the project is doubtful.

Raynor completed yesterday's list of those who did their one good deed at least by lending their financial support to this worthy cause. The treasury is being more strongly intrenched day by day, yet the set goal will fall far short of its mark unless a veritable flood of checks pours in between now and Monday on which day the drive officially terminates. To date, 167 individual contributions have been received, a commentary of note on the hummanness and heart to be found in this business.
