GROUP TO CONTINUE
FIGHT FOR LIBRARY
Section of New Alexandria School
Site Wanted for
Project.
BY star Correspondent Of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 16.-Al-
though unsuccessful in its effort to
get the City Council to borrow pub
lie works funds for the erection Of
a public library in Alexandria. the
Sixth Ward Citizens Association will
continue to promote the library
project here, its Executive Committee
decided at a meeting this week.
A committee appointed to consider
ways and means of promoting the
building of the library is expected
to submit a report at the next regu-
lar meeting Of the association on
June 25. The citizens body has also
requested the council to allocate a
section of the IS acres of land re-
Gently acquired as new high school
site for the location Of the proposed
library.
Alexandria at present has a small
non-public library, located on the
second floor Of Lee Camp Hall, which
has been in operation for a number
of years. Readers are charged a
membership fee in proportion to the
duration of their membership to OBJ
tain books from this library. The
great majority of its volumes, how
ever, are novels.
The Executive Committee also de-
cided at its meeting to invite Repre-
sentative Howard w. Smith Of this
city to address the association at its
meeting on June rs. F. G. Thomas,
chairman, presided at the committee
meeting, which was held at the home
of Mrs. Roy G.. Craver, president OF
the association.

Motion Picture Cleanup
Movement Growing Locally.

A UNION of forces representing
n all religious creeds, Gentle
and Jew Is just now very
much in evidence in an endeavor
to clean up the motion pictures
and rid them of indecent and
other Objectionable films. The
movement is attaining large local
proportions among the religious
organizations.
It is of interest that the Fedora
tion Of Citizens Associations took
stand on this question at its meet
ing on January 20 last. The ques-
ton came up on resolution origi-
mating in the Citizens Association
Of Takoma, D. C. In this resolu-
ton it was advocated that there
be legislation requiring dependable
censorship and complete exclusion
from the District of exhibitions
which should not be produced at
all. 1t also suggested that pictures
be so labeled and described as to
enable patrons to decide for them
selves whether they are suitable to
be viewed by their children or
themselves.
The federation in its report rec
ognized that this is more than a
local problem and that to be effec-
tive must be controlled by national
legislation. After this reasoning 1t
advocated the early adoption by
Congress Of legislation which will
provide for some dependable Fed
