Easy on Sex

Movie Censor, CIamors

CHICAGO, June 13.-Blond
~ frankie James, who quit
being a musical comedy star to
censor Chicago motion pictures,
finished her first week on the Job
today with the conviction that
movie kisses need more refine
ment.
THE time element is the least
important thing about film
kiss" Miss Jaraes told the United
Press. Some kisses last only
second, but they're very, very sug-
geStive. Other kisses last longer,
but look purely platonic.

if not bigger, motion picture en-
braces is to make them respect
and refinement. In other words
go easy on the sex"

CAPONE REIGN
SEEN AT END
Gang Is Practically Broke,
Says U. S. Attorney.
BY SAM KNOTT
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 13.-Goyernment
attorneys and Investigators declared
today that by indicting Scarface Al
Capone and sixty-eight followers on
liquor charges, they had loaded the
proverbial last straw" on to the
broad back of the Capone gang and
forever had broken its reign Of law
leSsnesS.
His confidence that Capone's gang
was wrecked" was evidenced by
United States Attorney George E.
o. Johnson, when he ruled that
the underworld leader need not post
a new bond on the liquor iiadict-
rnent.
Capone last week posted $4,000
bail on charges of evading income
tax. Johnson held this was suf-
flcient to cover the new charge also.
The Capone gang already is ''prac-
tically insolvent," declared Johnson,
because of raids and high bonds,
and he believes one bond sufficiently
protects the government.
