Your Cooperation Is Requested In Complying With These Regulations Hollywood (U.R. Another censorship controversy is bub fling in Hollywood, this time between a producer and the Catholic t' Legion 01 De cency. The Legion, which advises C a t h o 1 i c s what movies 10 see. has de n o u n c e d "Storm C e n- icr, a mm anout book-burning in libraries and a so-called Com munist witchhunt. It savs the picture is "a propaganda film' that offers a warped, over-sim-! plified and strongly emotional solution to th" complex prob-' lems of civil libetties in Ameri-! can life. ' Producer .(ulian Rlaustein charges that this attitude is ' po litical censorship." He retorts that the movie industry should; "icnore the Legion of Decency."! Film Rated Separately He points out that normally t tie Legion rate? pictures on! moral grounds as A. B and C. But. he said "Storm Center" was given a separate classification, which rated it along with the only other pictures so ranked by the Legion "Martin Lusher," about the Protestant movement and three films about the Span ish Civil War. "There now is not much ob jection from the picture indus try to the Legion-producers just censor themselves in advance, knowing the Legion will object to certain themes." he said. "Di vorce never can be shown as a solution to a domestic problem. Thus that major facet of life tn the United States never ran be shown in movies. "I think we should ignore the Legion. Perhaps then it vould not be the powerful force that it is. and at least some more interesting movies will be made." Betty Davis Appeari In "Storm Center," Bette Sweetland Sees Hells Victory Short Lived Portland (U.Rt Monroe Sweetland. Democratic national committeeman for Oregon, pre dicted today that what he called the Republicans' victory in de feating the Hells Canyon bill in the senate yesterday would be short lived. "There is no denying this is a temporary victory for Gov. Smith, McKay and the others in the conspiracy to give away our great Hells Canyon resource to the Idaho Power Co.," Sweet- land said. I "On Nov. fi the people of the Northwest will have a referen- j dum in the Oregon contest be- i tween Sen. Wayne Morse and Ex-Secretary McKay, and be tween Sen. Warren Magnuson and Gov. Arthur Langlie in Washington. "The Republican state ticket in Oregon is supporting McKay's position. Their victory today will be short lived . . ." Davis plays a small-town librar ian who is fired because she re fuses to remove a book about Communism from her shelves. Blaustein charges that "in stead of confining itself to the moral code, the Legion now is entering the arena of political censorship and that gets to be awfully dangerous." The producer says he has in his office at Columbia studio a notice from the Daughters of the American Revolution that praises "Storm Center." He said Sen. Warren Magnuson ID Wash.) also wrote the studio that "Storm Center" was "a thoughtful treatment of a price less freedom." Many Children Said Not in School Chicago .U.R'' Millions of sehool-ae children are not in school despite America's cher-: ished aim of education for all, ac cording to a noted educator. Herold C. Hunt, undersecre tary of health, education and welfare, said surveys show mil lions of handicapped, migrant or financially needy children are not receiving an education. Hunt made the report in Na tional Parent-Teacher, official publication of the National Con gress of Parents and Teachers. Hunt said about 3.500.000 chil dren suffering from physical or mental handicaps, emotional disturbances or social maladjust ment need special help from schools. Not more than one fourth of these are receiving the help they need. Hunt said the cost of educat ing such handicapped children is from two to five times greater than for a normal child but is far below the cost of supporting a n o n-contributing member of society. Hunt, former school superin tendent at Chicago, said more than a half-million children of migrant workers do not remain in one place long enough to maintain any degree of school continuity. He said great gains have been made in educating rural youth, but that a "discouraging" num ber of farm children, particular ly in 12 southern states, do not attend schools, usually for fi nancial reasons.

TREE RIPE LOCAL Cherries and Apricots OK MARKET 1202 North Kiversid OPEN EVERY NIGHT TIL MIDNIGHT jQ More Aluminum On 1 957 Autos Louisville, Ky. ,U.RS The 1957 model automobile will have about one-third again as much aluminum in it as the 1956 model, according to an of ficial of the Reynolds Metals Co. David P. Reynolds predicted that, on the average, each 1957 car will contain from 42 to 45 pounds of aluminum, compared with a 33-pound average for the 1956 cars. "This sharp increase, to a great extent, is due to the rapid ly increasing use of aluminum grills, trim moldings, emblems, window frames and ornamenta tion." Reynolds said, "and with the conversion of the last auto matic transmission to aluminum, cast aluminum requirements are expected to increase about 20 per cent.." You know those shiny "gold" and "silver" emblems and name plates on some of the flossier models? Anodized aluminum, really, and Reynolds said the automobile industry will be using more and more of it. In fact, one high production model in 1957 will present a frontal appearance approaching a complete sterling silver ap pearance, through the use of aluminum.

An unmarked sheriff's car start ed chasing the unmarked state police cruiser. And a plainly marked Zeeland police car set out after the two unmarked cars. The unmarked sheriff's car overtook and halted the un marked state police car. While the state trooper was explaining to the sheriff's deputy, the Zeeland police ar rived. The state trooper and the sheriff's deputy both offered ex planations to the Zeeland officer.
