Blake Of the Methodist church, IN
dianapolis area, suggested that the
committee investigate the movies,
churches and press.
THE Menace of the Movies" Is
the title of the pamphlet contain
ing the Hays attack. In it are five
articles, the first bearing the gen.
eral title, 1.-THE Menace of the
Movies" and others being Our
Children and the Movies" "Ambas-
sailors of I'll WILL" who Controls
the Movies?" and whats to Be
Done With the Movies?"
The menace matter is opened with
comments on the success or failure
of Hays in cleaning up the movies
during the seven years he has been
at the helm. The consensus from
readers of the Christian Century is
that "they are practically unanimous
In their assertion that the movies
are as bad or worse than they were
then and that they constitute
nothing short of a menace to the
mental and moral life of America"
Following is a paragraph from
the publication concluding
lengthy attack on Hays:
His employers seem well pleased
with Mr.. Hays. He has done his
job for them. He has got them to
pulling together. He has increased
the membership of the Motion Pic
ture Producers and Distributors
Association from nine member
companies In 1922 to twenty seven
today, including all the larger ones.
He has given the right slant to
the news. He has lulled the church
people to sleep with his soft
speeches. He has STAYED of censor
ship. His employers have just re-
newed his contract. Why not? Be-
hind a Presbyterian false front.
they have gone merrily on making
money out of muck"
In the final chapter remedies are
offered. These consist Of breaking
the present moving picture chain
theater- production company system,
eliminate block and blind bookings,
establish federal control as in public
utilities and censor all expectations.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Former
Chief Justice William Howard Taft
is sinking slowly and his doctors
have abandoned hope for his recov-
cry.
His condition, taking a decided
change for the worse, today was
more serious than at any time since
he became Ill several weeks ago,
and was forced to resign from the
supreme bench. His death only is a
question Of time.
DR.. Francis r. Hagner, his ply
sician, called relatives after his visit
at noon today and appraised them Of
the former chief Justices condition.
They are expected to come here
soon.
The former head Of the supreme
court may linger for several days,
or death may come sooner. The
former chief justice is suffering
from arterio-sclerosis and recur-
renee of an old bladder ailment.
His heart is in a very weakened
condition from his long fight against
a general breakdown of his system.
His condition also was aggravated
by the death of his brother, Charles
P. Taft, in Cincinnati several weeks
ago.
