To Censorship of Motion Pictures

world. He would like TO see more
American pictures exhibited in for
e:gn countries, so that the people of
those countries would have an oppor-
tunity of learning more about the
customs and the character OF the peo-
pie of the United States.
The President was represented as
looking upon the motion picture his
tory as one of the leading industries
of this country and believes it should
be encouraged and promoted in every
legitimate way by the Government.
The President is represented as say
ing that he has heard less complaints
about the character of the films and
he is convinced that the producers.
themselves, have taken upon them
selves the burden of bettering the
character of the pictures they are
producing.
Evening star., 1926-04-21

President Coolidge believes that the
matter of censorship for motion pic
lures is one for the States to decide,
and il the question was put to him he
very likely would disapprove it.
This was made known at the White
House yesterday by the Presidents
spokesman. 1t is explained that the
President, while Governor of Massa-
chusetts, vetoed a censorship bill and
at the present time, although the
matter has, not been referred to him
as one for national regulation, those
who are close TO him are of the opin-
ion that his attitude has not changed.
1t was pointed out that the President
is impressed with the value of motion
pictures, not only as It source of en-
tertainment and education, but as a
means of creating a better under
standing between the peoples of the

MEMORIAL MODEL
RECEIVES PRAISE
ScuIptor's Copy of Lee and
Jackson Features for Stone
Mountain Accepted.

BY tho Associated Press
ATLANTA, Ga, April 41.-High
praise for his reproduction of the fea-
lures Of Stonewall Jackson and Rob
er-t L. Lee in the master model for
the central group OF the Stone
Mountain Memorial marked its pres
entation to the board of directors Of
the memorial association by Augustus
Lukeman, it's sculptor, here yester-
day.
Nathaniel L. Harris. a former Gov
ernor OF Georgia and q Confederate
veteran, congratulated the sculptor
flom the floor of the meeting
b Il guess / am the oldest member
cf this board" he said. II turned
my S0th birthday on January 81, the
birthday Of my old commander, Stone
wall jackson. For three and a half
Years I fought in the army of north
ern Virginia, under jackson until he
vas killed. Many and many d time
have seen him and Gen. Lee in
the field.
First Model Disappointing.
Last Summer when our sculptor
presented his sketch model I was dis
appointed with his likeness of Jack
son, one reason being that Jackson
wore q hat. I worried about 1t q
great deal and finally became recon
lied on the idea that perhaps it was
100 much to expect an exact likeness
on such q gigantic scale on the
mountain.
But now I am worried no longer.
for when ] entered this studio a little
while ago and saw the face of my old
eader as the sculptor has portrayed
MIN in this model it brought hot tears
20 my eyes, and am happy to know
hat the actual features Of Lee and
Jackson are to be carved on the
mountain.
Wonderful Work of Art
IL am going forth from here and
tell my comrades TO come here and
see this magnificent and wonderful
work OF art that our sculptor has
given us. And the prayer of my old
heart Will be that some Of US will yet
live to see this group carved on the
mountain"
Mr.. Lukeman's model was accepted
ny unanimous vote and the board Of
directors adopted a. resolution express
ing the associations profound appre-
citation of the loyal and patriotic
spirit with which he has devoted him
self to his work.
