It Is declared In congressional cir

Senator Shortrldge, of California,
says Hold's ari'lictlon Is a danger sig
nal to tho whole movie world of tho
"frightful punishment inflicted by
drugs." Shortrldge recommends a
harsher enforcement of existing
laws, and new federal restrictions to
wipe out the drug trade throughout
the nation.'
Senator Borah, of Idaho, recom
mends such action. He frowns on a
federal movie censorship, however,
declaring American motherhood Is
capable of protecting the children
from Immoral pictures.
