Thursday, June 8, 1950 Judge Turns Down Censorship of Italian Picture Portland, Ore., June 8 (U.R) Circuit Judge James R. Bain yes terday ruled against city censor ship of the Italian film "The Bi cycle Thief" and granted an in junction to permit showing of the movie at a Portland theatre. Judge Bain said the Portland city council in carrying out a municipal board of review cen sorship order, had acted in an "arbitrary and capricious man ner" in ordering the brothel scene cut from the film. Film Under Contract The Guild theatre sought the injunction, asserting that the New York distributors of the film refused to permit the show ing of the movie if it was cen sored. Manager Martin Foster al ready had the movie under con tract when the city review board ordered the cut. The controversy arose over a two-minute scene in the movie showing the hero searching for the thief in a brothel. City Attorney Alexander Brown contended that the city censors and the city council had acted within the "police powers" given them.
