10 Th Newi-Rtlew, Roseburg, Ore Frl., Sept. 9, IWjCzecH CatholiCS Whatever You Think About Movies. Don't Ignore 'Em By ERIC JOHNSTON (For Bob Thomas) (Editor1! note: Eric Johnson ii president of the Motion Pic ture Association of America, representing the major film producing organization!). HOLLYWOOD UP) Fe people are neutral-minded about the motion picture. By contrast, the atate of the stage, literature, radio or even the union itself scarcely whips up a flutter of excitement. To me, that'! all to the good. Where the motion picture Is con cerned, I go along with the vet eran politico who didn't care what people said about him, so long as he wasn't Ignored. Critica of the motion picture can be roughtly partitioned Into "A" and "B" varletlei. The parti tion ii the boxofflce. The "A" critic planks down hl change at the window. He pays lor the privilege of panning the moviei if he feeli so inclined. Like the baseball fan, he has pur chased the right to let off steam. Gets Many Letters He write me letters. Lots of them. I may not alwaya agree with his verdict on a particular oleture. but I heed what he sayi. carefully. He counts. He'i more than the Dread ana nutter 01 tne Industry. He'i the good gadfly who keens us whetted with amm tlon to make more pictures he likes and lewer tie aoesn t. The "B" critic is usually an In tellectual snob who thinks it fash ionable to look down his nose with an air of highbrow superior ity at anything ol mass appeal He knows all about what'! wrong with the movies, but he rarely sees one. He wants picture! overloaded with "significant messages" and firopaganda; pictures in the mage of his own circumscribed thinking. It distresses him to realize that people go to the mov iei to be entertained and not to have their eyehrowi lifted. . Doesn't Llka People I've never been able to make up my mind whether this high brow doesn't like the movie! or doesn't like people. It Is uncanny how people dis cover a good picture and pass the word along as if by grapevine. No amount of professional criti cism, good or bad, can shake their point of view. The most general criticism I hear of American motion pictures abroad is that they paint America aa a fabuloui land beyond belief; that they're not true portrayal! of the American domestic icene. So what? America is a fabuloui country. Sure enough, a picture with a penthouse plot Isn't typical of America; neither la a British pic ture based ou the life of a fox hunting country squire. My point is that the American motion pic ture mirrors American lite as closely as any British picture mir rors Hrmsn lite; or rrencn pic ture, French life. Here'! a tip: In the coming months, some of the greatest pic ture! Hollywood has ever made and I'm not using the word light ly will flash on the screen. I've seen some o: tnem, ana my opinion is not neutral. I think they're truly great. Elliott's Bond Fate Uncertain PORTLAND, Sept. 9. (.V) Sheriff Mike Elliott, who may know the status of his bond can cellation proceedings, was one of the few men not giving the low down directly in a series of state ment! to the press. Mike De Cicco, Democrat, tire dealer and financial friend of Multnomah County's sheriff, was quoted as saying the bond vould not be cancelled. The word was reported to have come direct from Elliott, now in Washington, D. C, to a friend, to lJe Cicco. The Oregonlan reported that Richard W. Brown, an Elliott supporter, said he talked with El liott by telephone yesterday and the sheriff said decision on the bond had not been reached. Brown was quoted as saying the sheriff said. "Mr. De Cicco H a very good friend of mine but thin Is not the first time he hai embarrassed me in competing for the headlines." The Journal reported that Cal vin Souther, Portland attorney for the Maryland Casualty com pany of Baltimore, aaid he had conferred with company officials and would file a complete report on the case at company request. The Oregonlan said De Cicco said that the trouble arose when the men who had put up collat eral for Elliott's $110,000 bond, wanted back about S60O0. He said they posted StiOOO over the lum needed. . Will Resist All Control Measures PRAGUE, Sept. 9. VP) Czechoslovakia's Roman Catholic firiests notified the communist ed government that they will oppose all efforts to bring them and their church under atate con trol through new legislation. The priests rejected in advance as unfair and anti-social a pro posed church law coming before the national parliament next month. This law would give the government complete control over the appointments, finances and administrative affair! of all churche!. The stand of the Catholic clergy was expressed in a state ment sent to the government and made available to the western press by church sources. An accompanying note said such protests had already been signed and sent into the govern ment by 70 per cent of the na tion's Catholic clergy and that "others are steadily being sent in." There are about 7,000 priests In Czechoslovakia. With this statment the Catho lic church apparently took its stand for what is expected to be a showdown this fall in Czechoslo vakia's embittered state-church fight. Mayor Lee's Committee Will Study Salaries PORTLAND. Sent. 9. OP) A committee to study the salaries of non-elective officials of the city nas neen appointed by Mayor Dorothy Lee. The committee was told to consider also the possibili ties of merging city and county health departments. The city health officer has ask ed a boost In salary from S6.000 to $9,600 a year. The committee waa named after a commissioner said the current salary is so low that the health officer must sup plement ma income Dy private memcai practice. Younger Generation Not On Way Down, Truman WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. UP) President Truman said it ii not true that the younger gen eration "is on Its way to the low er region!." The President spoke informally to a committee he appointed to plan the mid -century White House conference on children and youth next year. "It Is customary, as vou know, when a person becomes 50 or over, to decide that the younger generation is on its way to the lower region." he said. Then, he recalled that he had read in Plutarch'! "Lives" that the same thing was supposed to be happening In the davs of Per icles. 450 years before Christ. "It is not true," the President said. "And you are familiar with the fact that It Is not true." Mr. Truman naid the rising generation has prospect! "really unequaled In the history of the world." He added: "And what we want to do la to Impress upon them their respon sibilities." i A God of the Incredible Morning Worship 10:50 A. M. first Methodist Church Main and Lane Sts.
