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."

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.

Airliner Speed
WASHINGTON i.P The
lovernment has set (light speed
limits on Elertra turbo-prop air-
iners pending lurther investiga
tion of last Thursday's Indiana air
tragedy. Sitv -three persons died
when an Klectra disintegrated in
flight.
The Federal Aviation Agency
announced the limits Sunday night
in advance ol a meeting it sched
uled here Tuesday with repre
sentatives ol the Civil Aeronautics
lioard. operators of Eleclra planes
and makers of the planes and
their power plants.
FAA Administrator E. It. (Jues-
ada said the planes should be
operated at not more than about
316 miles per hour at altitudes up
to 15.IHH) feet. Slower speeds were
set on a sliding scale al higher
altitudes.
The Lockheed Aircraft Corp.
which makes the Electras said
their normal cruising speed is 400
miles per hour. A Lockheed
spokesman said i:'.H of the planes
have been delivered to airlines.
The FAA said seven 'airlines use
Electras.
Investigations of the Northwest
Airlines plane tragedy near Tell
City, lnd., so tar have produced
"nothing sigmticant," an oliicial
said, Qui'sad.i said it now seems
sufiicieully similar to a Septem
ber crash of the same type of
plane "to justily operating re
strictions pending further investi
gation." Charles Hughes, manager of
Northwest's flight administration,
said his airline "will certainly
abide by the FAA directive." But
he said the order will have little
or no cftect on Northwest's flight
times.
A Lockheed spokesman said his
linn "fully endorses the FAA
action and will continue to work
with all investigating agencies un
til cause of the accident can be
established."
