Press Secretary Charles G.
Ross, a victim of the rough seas

well enough to talk with repor

He hinted the president may
not attempt another sea voyage
to Key West adding that it has
been a "rough trip." The presi

Harry H. Vaughan, Ross said,
was the primary victim." He

shock after It was all over.
The other passengers "never
knew what happened," one said.
They were interviewed today
at the RAF station hospital here,
where the third survivor still is
on the danger list.
The two who were able to talk
were Gwyn Anthony, 26-year-old
school teacher, and his brother-in-law,
Handel Rogers, 33.
Both are former RAF men.
Anthony did most of the talk
ing. "We were coming in for a nor
mal landing and the air hostess
told us to prepare to land," he
said. "We were sitting in the
tail of the machine and we had
gone there because we thought
we would get a better view. All
the passengers were quiet,
strapped to their seats and there
had been no singing or any
thing of that sort because they
were tired after their trip.
"Everything was going along
verj smoothly when suddenly
the plane took a steep upward
climb. As a former member of
the RAF I Instinctively felt
something was wrong and I
braced myself against the seat."
"Almost immediately ' I saw
earth and metal flying all around
and I waited for a further crash,
but I found we had already
come to earth.
"All was deathly silence and
then I heard by brother-in-law
crawling towards me. He was
bleeding from the head. We as
sisted each other out of the plane
and saw the villagers coming to
wards us.
"We cried for help and were
then taken to a farm.
"All the other passengers were
hurled into the fore part of
the plane and were all piled to
gether . We did not hear i
sound."

Maryland Censor Deplores

Baltimore, March 15 0J.B Heaven help the movie industry if the

Without official censorship, he
said, it wouldn't be long before
movie standards got out of hand
and civic and religious boycotts
drove the industry into the
ground.
.
Legal action challenging the
entire system of official movie
censorship in this country has
been brought in federal court in
Atlanta. The suit has Holly
wood's support and is aimed at
getting the U.S. Supreme Court
to reverse its 1915 decision sus
taining the legality of movie
censorship.
Hollywood and others
Traub said, "seem to be deter
mined to end official motion pic
ture censorship in this country.
He said that despite a state
ment by Eric Johnson, head of
the Motion Picture Association
of America, there is no reason
why the movies should "ride
along with the post-war drift
down laxity lane." The trend of
movies today definitely is toward
the unwholesome, he contended.
Many producers, Traub
claims, now even disregard the
"so-called s e 1 f-regulation plan
known as the production code,"
established by Will Hays in the
early '30s.
"Box office receipts have re
portedly shown a downward
trend for some time, and compe
tition is intense within the indus
try, with the possible added
bugaboo of television," Traub
said.
"Already Samuel Goldwyn
and others are attempting to cast
aside the premise that it has out
lived its usefulness, and that a
code should be adopted which
will enable the industry to get
Goldwyn has termed 'Polyanna
and fairy-tale pictures
The fact is that they are not
waiting for a new code.
Traub cited a National Legion
of Decency statement that 42
percent of foreign-made films
and about 20 percent of domes
tic pictures were "considered to
contain substantially morally ob
jectionable elements " The le
gion said these were its highest
figures since its formation 16
years ago.
The Maryland board, Traub
said, in the last 12 months re
jected five pictures in their en
tirety and ordered the elimina
tion of certain scenes and dia
logue in 219 additional pictures.
"Not a single decision of the
board was appealed to the Bal
timore City Court, which the
law permits the party submit
ting the picture to do," Traub
said.
"Evidently the motion picture
companies agreed with the Ma
ryland Board of Censors that
what the board has turned down,
or ruled out, was proper."

Handsome Swede Beats Out
Local Swains of Manila Beauty
Manila. P. I.. March 15 (UR) Lennard Jakell, a handsome Swede
from San Francisco, wasn't quite sure today how he stands ro
mantically with President Elpidio Quirino's pretty teen-age
daughter.
Jakell, 26, came here as the Swedish representative to the
Junior Chambers of Commercc-
international meeting and took
over from the local swains
courting 18-year-old Vicky Quir-
ino, first lady of the Philippines.
Reports said he gave a sharp
setback to the romantic aspir
ations of Chito Gonzales, mem
ber of a wealthy Manila family
and Vicky's reputed fiance.
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Wed., March 15, 1950 15
Jakell, employed by the Ha
ley Travel Agency in San Fran
cisco, said "it is too short a
time" to say anything about a
possible romance between him
and Vicky. She wasn't avail
able for comment.
"I haven't proposed to her,"
he admitted. "You don't do
that in a week. Frankly, I
don't know how it can work
out." t
He indicated that he can't quit
his job and must leave for San
Francisco today.
Tongues started wagging when
Jakell went stepping with Vicky
in Manila and Baguio, the
Philippine summer capital.
He met her at the president's
party for the Jaycees in Baguio
on March 5. Vicky serves as
first lady in the Philippines be
cause her father is a widower.
Jakell said he bid Vicky good
bye in Malacanan palace Satur
day night and "there were no
tears."
"I wrote her this morning
and said goodbye once more,"
he said.
Vicky asked him to visit her
if he ever comes to Manila
again, Jakell said.
As for poor Gonzales Jakell
said "he did not even say hello
when I greeted him."
