ganization under which the various CO.
operating committees will work the
name the Affiliated Committee for Bet
ter Films. Ii is TO be branch of the
work Of the national committee. It's
chief functions will be the exchange OF
information as 10 the causes OF success

OF films suitable for special perform
ances.
Il is believed that this step will
