FORUM PROJECT
Declares Such Outlets for
Public Opinion Would Aid
Commissioners.
SUGGESTS THEIR WORK
Would Have Them Censor Motion Pic
lures and Serve as Employ
ment Agencies.

Oliver p. Newman, president of the
Board of District Commissioners. yes
terday Endorsed the community forum
idea and outlined means by which
such forums could assist the Commits
sioners in the conduct of their office
in speaking before the Grover Cleve-
land Forum in the Public Library.
IF enough forums were formed and
were fairly representative OF the opin-
ion of the people, they would be of
. tremendous advantage to the Commits
sioners. We want the composite opin-
ion of the people on questions con-
corning them. For instance, they
might censor the motion pictures.
Il am sure it would be better for
the people, expressing themselves
through the forums, to do that than
it would for some paid outside CEN
sor. l always hesitate in censoring
the pictures. for l feel I am censor
ing the morals of the public.
Would Aid in Work Problem.
Another way the forums could as
sist the government would be in their
use as employment agencies. The ex-
ecutive secretaries of the forums
should familiariZe themselves with
business conditions of the community
to prepare to bring the worker and
the work together.
Il believe not only in the abstract
principle of the forum. but I know I
will be a better Commissioner for
their existence"
Representative Tinkham, Of Boston,
declared he favored the johnson bill,
providing for the establishing OF TO
runs in the District. He said the
plan had been in operation in Boston
for several years.
The right Of the people to use their
schools is granted by the Constitution,
for it was in the mind OF the trainers
to provide meeting places for the people
and to encourage the public assem-
bIages." she said.
DR.. Philander P. Claxton, United States
Commissioner of Education, said the fun
damental principles of democracy were
involved in the establishing of the public
forum.
A meeting to discuss the details OF the
Johnson bill, which seeks to provide for
the establishment of several public TO-
runs in Washington, will be held tonight
at 7:GO o'clock at Business High School.
Several OF those working in the forum
movement in the Capital held meeting
last evening at the Public Library and
decided upon this gathering, at which
any person wishing enlightenment as to
the measure and its effects will be well
coined. One Of the speakers at last even
ing's session declared the johnson bill to
be The most important legislation pro-
posed for the District of Columbia within
the past hundred years."
