March 21. 1!fif) PACK TNT, Two Novels Removed From Library ; MIAMI U'PH Two lamous novels ahout dictatorships of the future disappeared from Miami High School library shelves today because a student's father objected to them. Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and the late George Or- wens wmi were quietly re moved after an anonymous tele .phone call complaining of "oly tcene passages." Both novels are political satires warning against fictional totalitar ian states of the future in which the individual would be helpless Author Philip Wylie, a Miami resident whose hooks also have aroused a lot of wrath at times attacked the action of the school principals as "ignorant and erav en." it you naven t read iwh vou can't talk to any intelligent per- mn. he said. "To take it awav is to bring 1!W4 dictatorship closer and do just what the book was .written to try to stop." The caller complained to the principal of North Miami High School that his children were re quired to read both novels and he considered certain passages obscene. The school principal and county tchool authorities removed the two books from the list of re quired reading at North Miami High. Principals of other high schools heard of the action and removed the books voluntarily from their library shelves. A survey of high school libraries Friday showed none with either of the books on the shelves, although seven princi pals questioned said they had not read them. Huxley's novel, which appeared In 1932, forecast slate control of the individual from hirth to death in a land where the citizens were kept happy with a form of tran quilizer pill. Orwell, British soldier, essayist novelist and political writer, put the term "Big Brother" in the language with his postwar novel of a future slate where an all teeing dictator controls the lives of his subjects through every minute of the day.
