 Plan of Group Boycott Only Means Urged

Local priests and officials of the Legion of Decency branded as false the report originating in Hartford yesterday that there is under con- sideration plan to create a state board of censorship to review mo- ton pictures before they are shown to the public.
 In Hartford the report was de- nied by Right Rev Monsignor Thomas s. Duggan, acting head of the diocese in the absence of Bish- op Maurice F. McAuliffe and Chancellor William H. Flynn.
 "The Legion of Decency," de- clared one of it's officials here to- day. "has no plan for censoring motion pictures. We have never had such a, plan and we do not ap- prove of such procedure. We cannot speak for the Catholic church but we feel sure that the

 The judge deferred judgment for a week, but warned the parents that the boys were definitely going to be taken out of circulation. He gave the parents their choice of sending the lads to live with reIa- lives out of the state or to the George Junior Republic at Litch- neld. intimating that he, favored the latter idea.
 Knew of No Wrongs
 All of the parents of the four said in court that they knew noth- ing previously of any wrong-doins by their youngsters, and claimed that they were good boys about their respective homes. On dues- tloninG by the judge, it was brought out that three of the boys had been allowed to leave school after completing the grammar grades The other members of the quartet finished grammar school only last June.

ELLSWORTH TO
 ATTEMPT FLIGHT
Explorer Declares Time Is
 Ideal for Antarctica !. Pioneer Survey
BY ALFRED BERTHJNET Cniscd Press Staff COrrespondcnt

DN~NAA New York, (UP)-Back to Ant arctica again-that's where Lin coin Ellsworth. who has more than a mere holding acquaintance with the local penguins, expects to be next November.
 ''The fascination of the Antarc tic still lures me. even after the disappointment that broug h t about the abandonment of my January flight" he explains in Natural History. wherein he has outlined his plans for the latest expedition.
 Larger Than Europe
 Dr Ellsworth claims that "ho other unexplored land mass even remotely comparable in size awaits the inquisitiveness of man, for Antarctica is larger thar all ot Europe, and as yet only minor fraction of it's immensity has been seen and recorded by man."
 Antarctica is one of the highest cf the continents. apparently being approximately seven times the average height of Europe. AL though it's ice cap is about 7.00G feet deep, it's condition in the past Was vastly different from that to cay. Large seams of coal havt been discovered within severa' hundred miles of the South Pole, they measure 40 feet thick and run for hundreds of miles. In ad- dition. fossil plant stems Is inches in diameter have been found. plus fragmentary impressions of larger trees-all evidence of possible lush past.
 Discovery Flight
 Now, declares Dr Ellsworth, is the time for pioneer surveys of the region. He proposed flight over this little known continent really will be a voyage of discovery. and will subtract belt of the unknown from that which is now marked .conjectured land" on the charts. His supplies will be carried to the base of operations at Decep- ton Island. which is south of Cape HornN Material for extensive re- search and the plane with whlcE the flight is to be executed agaln will be carried on the Wyatt Earp," which incidentally, Is named after one of the most ac. curate sharpshooters in the Old West.

authorities of the diocese are not contemplating the creation of any board of censorship"
 Continuing. he stated: we will not at all lessen our battle against indecent moving pictures but we have never countenanced censor ship and that is not the means by which we hope to "clean up" the pictures that Hollywood gives to the American public. We are ask ing Hollywood in our present cam paign to clean up it's pictures. If films are not clean, we urge our members and the general public not to visit them. That is all. We have never planned censorship and we don't now"
 Local priests, when queried. ex- pressed complete ignorance of the reported proposal. Several of them said that they doubted that it was even under consideration.

Echoes from n wport
about DR.. and Mrs. Alexander
Hamilton Rice's dance at
Miramar in honor Of Miss
Betty Brooks, debutante
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Brooks. The party,
with 600 present, was one

floor specially erected on
the terrace facing the ocean.
Meyer Davis and his orches-
ira played, and guests ar
rived from numerous dinner
parties.
The formal gardens at
Miramar were brought out
in natural effect through
moonlight floodlighting from
the villa, with special lights
playing on the central foun-
tain. On the ocean side
hundreds of imported Ian
terms were placed in the
trees, while floodlights
played on the waves break
ing on the rocks off the
cliffs. Orange colors were
in the bay trees on the ter
race.
The north terrace was
transformed into a supper
room in Dresden colors Of
gold, orange and yellow. 1t
was inclosed for the occa-
sion, with a golden arbor
vitae hedge and trailing
vines, amidst which were six
urns of specimen dahlias. The
ceiling was egg-shell color.
