FILM STUDIO CAPITULATES TO STRIKERS Strike Leader Scores Actors Ac-tors For Letting Strikers Down HOLLYWOOD; May 10 (U.R) Hal Roach Studios today to-day joined with eight other major studios which capitulated capitu-lated to the demands of the Screen Actors' Guild, it was announced by the Will Hays organization, the Association of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors. Action of the Roach Studio, taken by President Hal Roach himself, left only one major lot, Warner Bros., outside the agreement agree-ment with the high - salaried screen stars and feature players. Leaders of the Federated Motion Mo-tion Picture Crafts, still at odds with the producers over the question ques-tion of union recognition, again sent their men and women onto the picket lines at the studios today, to-day, but the number of these was greatly reduced. Charles E. Lessing. head of the strike movement, bitterly scored the actors for what he called "letting the strikers down." but Aubrey Blair, secretary of the Screen Actors' Guild, pointed out that the guild never had been associated as-sociated with the crafts' strike, and had not" been notified of the walkout when it was ordered. Blair also said the guild had contributed con-tributed $500 voluntarily to the strikers' fund. MERRY GO-ROUND A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By DREW PEARSON and - ROBERT S. ALLEN Everyone Talks Economy ; Appropriation Bills Click Right Through; Hopkins, Ickes, Wallace Want Continued Con-tinued Spending, Taxing Profits ; Morgenthau, Bc-cles, Bc-cles, Jones Urge Immediate Clamp-down On Expenses; Ballyhoo For Economy Aimed To Prevent New-Taxes New-Taxes Before Election. WASHINGTON The situation situa-tion cn the economy issue is like that of the shipwrecked sailor afloat on a raft in the middle of the ocean water, water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. Everybody in Washington is for economy: the president, congress, con-gress, treasury, federal reserve board. Republicans, everybody. But no one is doing a thing about it except talk. Appropriation bills continue to click through with regularity with but inconsequential inconsequen-tial savings or none at all. To date the only economizing worthy of the name that has been achieved is the lopping off of a $37,000,000 construction item from the $526,000,000 navy bill. On the $415,000,000 army measure the only pruning that congress seemed seem-ed to find possible was the excision excis-ion of $700,000 in pay increases. Next to relief, the expenditure of these two departments, are the greatest in Je government. The failure to do any appreciable appreci-able budget trimming so far does not mean that an economy program pro-gram will not be enacted this session. ses-sion. Such action is both possible possi-ble and likely. But how and where no one in authority is in a position to say. i -jl-j ECONOMY CHAOS ; This chaotic situation is due to a jumble within the administration administra-tion and in congress. The president, presi-dent, torn by conflicting counsel among his advisers, has not made up his mind whajL-to do. And congress, con-gress, lackingVVhite House leadership, lead-ership, is in dfi even worse stew. On the senate side there is con siderable sentiment and agitation for a flat 10 per cent reduction of all appropriations.

High Water From Rock Canyon Is Threat to Farms Pastures, Farm Lands Near Pleasant View Are Damaged Here Spring run - off depredations depreda-tions of Rock - Canyon water are proving a problem for bordering farmers. Three days of constant surveilance are believed to have brought the waters under control, although al-though not without damage. "It will be about 10 days before we can expect any difference in the run," I. D. Glazier, county employe, remarked Monday morning. morn-ing. He stated that the heavy layer of gravel and rocks that is accompanying the water is probably prob-ably a direct result of the cloudburst cloud-burst last season, the swift water now bringing farther downstream the gravel-boulder load. Cluff Pasture Ruined Practically a total loss is the nasture of Sid Cluff, with a heavy layer of small rocks and gravel covering the top soil. Quick action ac-tion by farmers, state and county narrowly averted disaster to 7 acres of wheat on the Earl Foote farm. Two-year victim of the flood is Dave Long, whose wheat above the Provo canyon road was inundated by last year's flood. Four acres were hit by the waters wa-ters this week-end. Pear trees on the Stanley Roberts property were wiped out in several places. Basement Flooded "The worst damage is that it has taken out the top soil, Mrs. Roberts commented Monday morning.

Sunday a team and scraper with a crew of about six men worked to keep the waters within bounds, as the highest point thus far was reached. W. A.

Although onlv sandbaes' stood between waters in the Upper Up-per East Union canal and his property, no damage thus far has been done. The waters are running easily through the new flood control work at the outlet of Rock canyon. Tracy Calder, Upper East Union canal watermaster; W. A.

N. Taylor of the Utah L. D. S. stake at the morning session of the stake quarterly conference con-ference held in the tabernacle Sunday. City officials who condone the maintenance of a baseball base-ball park for Sunday games were also criticized by President Taylor, who charged that a recent request made by a delegation delega-tion of local L. D. S. officials to- convert the baseball park into playground had been ignored. Hits Liquor Evil-President Evil-President Taylor's remarks about the Sunday baseball controversy con-troversy were made in the course of his address dealing with the proper observance of the Sabbath day, the liquor evil and local problems. "Sunday is fast becoming a day of recreation instead of a day of worship," he remarked. "We read almost every Monday about accidents, acci-dents, injuries or deaths reflecting reflect-ing our failure to observe the sacredness of the Sabbath day." After reading the 59th section of the Doctrine and Covenants pertaining to Sabbath day observance observ-ance as it applies to Latter-day Saints, President Taylor referred to the baseball park "nuisance." Enclosure Termed Eyesore "We have in this community, maintained by the city, an enclosure, enclo-sure, surrounded by a high board fence, which is anything but attractive, at-tractive, an eyesore, behind which disgraceful conduct goes on and creating conditions constituting a nuisance to the neighborhood, especially es-pecially on Sundays," he said. "When- objection s raised to such desecration of the Sabbath we are immediately criticized and the cry is made that we are interfering in-terfering with individual rights. "This problem was recently taken tak-en up by the stake presidency, the high council and the bishops, who waited on the city commission at one of the regular meetings. We begged that the nuisance and the eyesore at the ball park be done away with. "We were heard allright, but an answer from the city commission to that request has never been (Continued on Page Sight) WINTER WHEAT CROP FORECAST WASHINGTON, May 10 (U.E The department of agriculture today to-day forecast a winter wheat crop of 654,295,000 bushels, the largest since 1931.

Police were caught unaware because be-cause their majesties gave them no notice of their intentions. The crowds broke through the inade quate cordons, swarming around the royal automobile for several minutes before they were pushed back. After giving a private luncheon, at Buckingham Palace, attended by Queen Mary, the Duke andj Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke' and Duchess of Kent, and Prince Nicholas of Greece, the king and queen motored to the Abbey. The queen was dressed in dove grey. The king wore a derby hat.

The full ceremony was rehearsed re-hearsed but the king and queen participated only in part of it. The Duke of Norfolk and Lady Rachel Howard acted the roles of their majesties during the tedious tedi-ous procedure of annointing, crowning and the annointing of the peers.
