Today the class Will come 10
order for a little lecture on mo.
ton picture censorship. Bed
room scenes, for instance. They
pop up almost every day in Hol-
lyWood based on the assumption
that people do sleep and the
screen is supposed to reflect life.
In some parts Of the country,
censorship boards regard a bed
as a comfortable piece of furni.
ture. In others it is hideous
monster with all kinds Of impli-
cations lurking under its covers.
Some censors object to seeing
q lady and gentleman in the
same bed, even if they have
been married for so years.
So there is a censorship rule
that the gentleman must keep
one foot on the floor. This has
worked pretty we'll up to now.
although it is fast making con-
tortionists out Of gents like Wal
ter Pidgeon and Enrol Flynn.
There are all kinds of kisses,
but it is generally agreed that
anything over 80 seconds is
necking. And ordinary screen
kisses under an ancient Massa-
chusettS state censorship law
can be only half as long on Sum
day as on week days.
Film censoIs are about as
consistent as politicians. For
years they have been approving
photographs of Dorothy Lamour
in her scanty eight-ounce sarong.
But recently they banned as in
decent three photographs of
Dottie in modern shorts.

will permit"
Feminine scanties take on un-
looked-for meanings in the eyes
of the censors. Set dressers hung
a pair of lace panties on a roof
top clothesline for a scene in a
movie but the censors ordered
them replaced with a pair of
stockings.
And speaking of stockings, a
studio wanted to dress a line of
chorus girls with black silk
stockings on one leg, none on
the other. The censors screamed.
Two bare legs were all right.
Two legs with stockings were all
right. But one of each-neveri

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Beniamin
F. FalrlesS, president of the United
States Steel Corp, commenting on
demands of the CLIO United Steel
Workers of America for a S2-a-dav
wage increase, said no wage in
crease was possible without higher
prices for steel products.
MI. FalrlesS said that on the aver
age there has been a net increase
since 1910 of at least ST or So per
ton in the cost of steel production,
and added
ON top of this penalty already
incurred, the union wants wage in
creases which will raise the cost of
producing steel at least Sc a ton
more. Furthermore, the union
wants the steel industry to absorb
this additional cost, along with all
other increased costs since 1910
without raising prices.
we cannot think in terms of
more wage increases in steel, except
IN terms of material price increases.
That is, we can't if we are to stay in
business, because staying in bust
ness means staying out of the red.
The matter accordingly is dis
tlnctly a question of Government
policy: if that Government policy
involves wage increases, it must also
involve the responsibility for the
necessary increase in prices"
