He Says.

Transfer of the motion picture CEN

day when Senator C. Walter Mapp, OF
Accomac, will move that the Com
mittce on Moral. Social and Child
Welfare be discharged OF further con-

mittee yesterday, by a vote Of 6 to J,
ton on the bill. following a dramatic
appeal ny Rev. Thomas Dixon. author
and playwright, against censorship.
II am too old hand to admit de-
feat at this time" said Senator Mapp.
after the committee had acted. "Thc
argument OF Mr.. Dixon was more
easily shattered"
MIR. Dixon boastcd that. by the ex-
penditure OF large sums OF money.
Ohio WAS turned from the ranks OF
Republicans TO the Democratic column
just because one Of his pictures had
been refused Endorsement by the board
Of ccnsors. II may be natural that
the motion picture magnates think
that If other Legislatures can be con-

Mr.. Dixon made an impassioned talk
to the committee and apparently
stampeded 1t into acting adversely on
the bill. which has as It's objects the
creation Of a licensing board to: pass
on all films offered for exhibition
and on posters and bills. for adver-
tising the productions. That he rep
resented the Authors League. with
1000 members. was the assertion Of
Mr.. Dixon.
The appeal was described by SEN
ator Mapp as more dramatic than
logical. The line Of reasoning
adopted by Mr.. Dixon was that. as
Republican States have adopted can-
sorship Of pictures. that II Is there
fore measure good Democrats
should reject. That IL was one OF
his own productions that suffered so
severely at the hands of censurs-
one State still barring the film en-

Dixon.
