Postmaster General Will Hays has signed a three year contract to become director general of the National Association of the Motion Picture Industry at a salary of 150000 dollars a year. The New York World says the agreement was signed over a week ago and includes a Washington conference with national leaders on January 14 where he will announce his acceptance.
Postmaster General Hays said he had not decided whether to leave the Cabinet for a role in the film industry and would discuss the offer on January 14 with motion picture executives.
