Chaplin Outfit Accused of Shearing Colonel Blimp Film
The Federal Trade Commission accuses Charlie Chaplin Mary Pickford and United Artists of selling a bob tailed version of The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp as the whole film. It says advertising used laudatory reviews based on the uncut version and failed to reveal material revisions, misleading exhibitors and the public. Colonel Blimp is a two and a half hour British army comedy.

Ditch Diggers Walk Off Job At Mullens Field Build
Young workers walked off a construction site in Mullens over pay. Foreman Raymond Daney said the high school boys, hired as non skilled labor for the new athletic field, sought 60 cents to 80 cents an hour while adult skilled workers earned 80 to 90 cents. Local leaders Joe Brammer and Bob Perdue said the boys demanded equal pay to men. Bailey tied the wage scale to the county education board, and the strikers left when demands were not met. The dispute left the crew idle.
