Boris KarIoH Film Banned
By Censors in Denmark
BY me Assoeioted Pres.

COPENHAGEN. Nov. 1.-THE
censors are banning American
movies again.
The latest to be kept from the
Danish public is Meet the Killer" !"
starring Boris Karlof and the
comedians. Abbott and Costello.
The Copenhagen censor board
never gives reasons for its thumbs
down verdict. But reliable sources
said the officials didn't like scene
in which Abbott and Costello
played cards with a group Of
corDSeS.
It was the second time Karloh
has gotten the Danish hook. His
BLACK Friday" was banned last
April. The censors also kept the
local public from seeing the Holly
wood prizef1ght saga. "The Setup." :"
and Humphrey Bogart's THE Big
Shot"
The men aren't the only ones
that fall under the censors scis-
sors. Love scenes in the Swedish
film Eva" were cut. And a rerun
of Hedy Lamarr's 1882 film,
Ecstasy" also lost considerable

Economic Adjustment
Truman
Tells New Eng|anders

BOSTON, Nov. 17.-President
Truman told New England busi-
nessmen today he felt the country
was through the worst part of
the adjustment that had to come
after the inf1ationary boom we
experienced last year"
But the President advised that
the Federal Government still was
keeping a careful watch on busi-
ness conditions.
1--WE have not been lulled into a
sense of false security" he said in
message to a joint conference Of
New England businessmen and
Governors of the six States, spon-
sored by the New England Coun-
Gil, regional promotional organ

Mr.. Truman urged them to use
"boldness and imagination" in
meeting the. regions problems.
For a time last summer" the
President said, I'VE were deeply
concerned over signs OF down.

some of your most important in
dustries. 1t is very pleasant to
know that employment in the
textile and shoe industries and
some of the other non-durable
goods industries has increased
considerably and that the general
outlook is now favorable.
II believe it is safe to assume
that the whole country is
through the worst part of the
adjustment that had to come
after the inf1ationary boom we
experienced last year.
Watching Business Conditions,
IT can assure you. however. that
the Government in Washington
is keeping a careful watch on

FD|C Official Sure
OF Banking Stability
In Future Depression
By J. A. O'Leory

An official of the Federal De-
post Insurance Corp. expressed
confidence today that that agency
will be able to keep the banking
system on an even keel in any
future depression.
FDIC Chairman Maple T. Harl
made 1t clear in testimony before
a joint House Senate Economic
Subcommittee that his confidence
is based on an assumption that
Government policy of supporting
the Government bond market will
continue.
He asserted that any move to
lower the supports under Gov
ernment bonds would be breach
Of good faith" with the banks OF
the country which helped win
the war by investing in Govern
ment securities.
But the disposition to reduce
or eliminate support of Govern
ment bonds seems to come from
bankers you say should be pro-
tected,' interrupted Senator Doug
glas. Democrat, of Illinois, SUBJ
committee chairman.
Names Promised in Private.
I'll be frank to say that move
is coming from very few bank
erS." Mr.. Harl replied.
When the witness showed re-
luctance to name any bankers
Senator Douglas asked Mr., IIarl 4
he woulo give them to him in pri-
vate. MI. Harl said he would "at
your convenience"
Senator Douglas wanted to
know what would be the motive
for wanting to lower Government
bond support. Answering his own
question, the Senator said, 1T
would increase interest rates
wouldn't it?"
If that is the case I'd say it is
a profit motive" Mr.. Harl replied.
The witness said 1--WE believe we
can prove that through the FDIC
and other Government agencies
you will never drift into the po-
sition you had between 1929 and
1888"
Are you saying a depression
can never occur again?" asked
Senator Douglas.
Douglas Urges Spending.
Mr.. Harl replied that what he
meant was that present Govern
ment machinery could control OF
meet any situation growing out o1
a depression. He said he believed
bank failures could be prevented
or controlled as long as close
watch is kept on loans and dis
counts.
Before todays session, Senator
Douglas proposed that the mex
session of Congress cut Gov.
ernment spending by about $4,-
SOC. .0O0, 900 as a main step toware
balancing the budget in 1851.
He indicated he thinks it is tot
late to head off a Treasury defici
in 1850. ~

Rather it is the glare caused when

Thanksgiving Turkey
Demand Keeps Prices
Higher Than Expected

turkey 1Of THANKSGIVING CdUleS
in Washington will cost 6 to 10
cents a pound less than last year,
but will not be as cheap as pre-
dicted early this month, dealers
said today.
While the turkey crop through
out the country is 20 per cent big
ger and the turkeys themselves
are meatier. an unusually heavy
public demand already has caused
markets in this area to revise pre-
vious forecasts of prices.
The 12-to-15 pound choice tur-
key hen was quoted generally at
wholesale here today around "a
cents, and at retail SO or 70. cents.
During the week before Thanks
giving last year the wholesale
quotations ranged from So to 70

Acc Report Outlines
Safeguards for Cities
Facing A-Bomb Attack

An adequate radar warning
system, bomb shelters and dis
persal of key buildings are recon-
mended in an Atomic Energy
Commission report as safeguards
against a possible atomic attack
on Washington or any other major
city.
The report was prepared by the
commissions technical staff and
sent to the National Security
Council and the National Security
Resources Board on November 4
The board forwarded the report to
other Government agencies for
study.
The report said an atomic bomb
detonated over an American or
European city would crush or
otherwise render useless" buildings
In an area of 6 to 8 square miles
Report Deals With ID. C.
The report dealt largely with
Washington since it was one of a
series of studies made by the
commission of possible damage to
one of it's installations. The COM
mission has it's headquarters on
Constitution avenue in a building
formerly occupied by the Public
Health Service.
In forwarding the unclassified
report to the National Security
Council, Chairman David E. Lili-
enthal said in a covering letter:
''The recent atomic explosion in
Russia brings closer the time when
decisions must be made on major
issues of civilian defense, includ-
ing the matter of dispensing out
from congested urban areas of
facilities such as those of the
Government in Washington"
The report is the first Govern
ment study of the probably ef-
fects Of an atomic bomb explosion
over an American city. However,
private studies have been made
and largely the same conclusions
expressed.
The estimates on the probable
damage to Washington were based
on the assumption that the old
type bomb, similar to that dropped
on Japan during the war. would
be used. Newer. and more power
full bombs presumably, the re-
port said, would cause far more
damage.
The commission staff assumed
that an epemy would explode its
bomb in the same way that Amer
lean flyers used In their attack
on Nagasak and Hiroshima-that
is. set to burst at about 1900 feet
above ground. Such an explosion
it was said, would devastate a
larger area on the surface" than
an explosion on the ground.
Heavy Damage Likely.
The report said that such an
explosion would crush or damage
ordinary brick buildings up to
$500 feet distant from the point
of the explosion. Heavy damage
would be caused to multi-storied
steel reinforced buildings with q
2,500-foot radius.
Giving an account of what might
occur, the report said telephone
telegraph, electric and transporta-
ton services in the damaged areas
would cease, fires would break out
and that the major task would be
rescue work. Such work, the re-
port added. would require assist
ance from outside-in the case
of Washington from cities as dis
tant as Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Richmond.
The report suggested three pos
Sible targets here-the Pentagon,
the Capitol area and the general
section of the White House and
State Department.
