England's Public Morals
Council Studies Jokes
hear the one about the traveling
salesman and the farmer's
daughter? Or the one about the
plumbur who blundered into the
bathroom while madam was in
the tub?
Well, the public morality coun
cil has. Both of them and a lot
besides. A sizable mound of
slightly or not so slightly off
color jokes lay before the mem
bers when they met to take up
a new subject.
Fresh from its triumph over
the sale of contraceptives in slot
machines, the council tackled
what it considers the increasing
use of such jokes on the radio,
in the movies, and especially on
the staje. .
Right off the council ran into
a snag. Its own members could
n't agree on what makes a joke
dirty. Most of those on the table
before the council had panicked
audiences in the west end, draw
ing neither boo nor hiss.
So Awful , . .
Questioned about the kind of
jokes the council would ban, one
of the members mentioned with
Destitute Tentmaker
Gets Home, Money
New York. Mar. 30 U.R An
unemployed tentmaker, who had
lived with his wife and five chil
dren in a 1934 jalopy since their
arrival from California two
weeks ago, had a home, money,
clothes and the offer of a job to
day. .
New Yorkers came to his aid
after William J. O'Brien's rever
sal of the "Grapes of Wrath
story was revealed yesterday m
newspapers. O'Brien received
S75 for appearing on a radio disc
jockev show. Gifts poured into
the lower East Side parking lot
where the family had been liv
ing . O'Brien said he would discuss
the offer of a job with living
quarters thrown in with a King
ston, N. Y., tent and awning
maker Sundny. Until then the
family will live in a three-room
cabin which O'Brien rented in
New Jersey.
Communists Capture
Nationalist Town
Hong Kong, Mar. 30 (U.P.)
The communist news agency re
ported today the capture of Si
chang, last base of organized na
tionalist resistance on the Chi
nese mainland.
The nationalists fled to Si
chang in southeast Siang prov
ince on the approaches to Burma
and Tibet last December after
the fall of Chengtu, 220 miles to
the northeast.
The communist agency said
Gen. Hu Tsung-nan, who directed
nationalist guerilla operations
from Sichang, fled by plane to
Hainan island and his troops are
being pursued to the east.
The red forces had to cross
rugged country inhabited by say
age Lolo tribesmen to reach Si
chang. It is one of China's west
ernmost cities and nestles among
the foothills of the Himalayas.

Key West, Fla.. Mar. 30 IU.R)
Frederick J. Lawton, a veteran
of nearly 30 years government
service, will succeed Frank Pace
Jr. as director of the budget bu
reau, White House sources re
ported yesterday.
Pace was scheduled for eleva
tion in the Immediate future to
secretary of the army, succeeding
Gordon Gray who will quit fed
eral services shortly to become
president of the University of
North Carolina.
Repairs Sought for
Warm Springs Cutoff
Madras. Ore., Mar. 30lU.R)
The Central Orecnn Chamber of
Commerce voted unanimously
last night to ask the Oregon state
highway commission to speed up
winter damage repairs on the
Warm Springs cutolf highway.
The highway has been closed
to logging and lumber trucks un
til repairs to damages done dur
ing last winter's sub-freezing
weather can be completed.
a shudder the one about the trav
cling salesman. Although he saici
it was so awful he could not beai
to repeat it, an informed sourci
said that when it was read to the
council members, a couple ol
guffaws slipped out. Same with
the plumber joke.
The trouble is. said George
Tomlinson, secretary of the coun
cil, that British audiences rath
er appreciate what he caller
"honest vulgarity." So, apparent
ly, do some of his council mem
bers.
But on other fronts where pub
lie morals are threatened, th
council reported one brilliant
success, one part success and on
miss.
Nudity Prevails
As a result of Its efforts, Tom
linson said, almost every local
council in Britain has banned th
sale of contraceptives from slol
machines. The church took u
the campaign after the council
had pointed out tnal aaoiescum:
were among the patrons.
Nudity still prevails on th
British stage. But the council be
lieves producers are making i
genuine effort to make the naked
ladies look "artistic." The coun
cil would like to have the lore
chamberlain, who is the stagi
censor, amend a ruling that per
mits a woman to stand unclothed
in a spotlight provided she doc:
not move a muscle.
But they have small hopes
The lord chamberlain is re
sponsible only to the king, am
no one had figured out how tr
get King George to visit tin
Windmill theater to see what hi'
subjects really look like and al
Tourists Startled
The council's only real failun
is in prostitution. Hundreds o'
nrostitutes patrol the west enc;
streets night ani day, startling
tourists who imagine that sort ol
thing is a Parisian monopoly.
Tomlinson points out that po
lice can arrest a prostitute only
if she is "annoying" a man. And
it takes a great deal to annoy
th ephlegmatic British gent, es
penally if the girl is good look
ing.
