The Posing Show
Hollywood EIoted, Embarrassed and Insure
Of Effect Of Supreme Courts Decision
By Jay cornody

The United States Supreme
Court removed the chains from
Hollywood's ankles last week.
Its emancipating words, uttered
in "The Miracle" case decision,
were:
-. Expression by means Of
motion picture Is included with
the free-speech and free-press
guarantee Of the first and 18th
amendments"
Hollywood was elated to find
itself free of decades Of legal
classification as "a business
pure and simple" and thus OUT
side the orbit Of the constitu-
tional freedoms guarantees.
This elation was tinged in
some of the more sensitive
minds Of the movie industry by
embarrassment. Behind the
decision it saw the ironic specter
of a foreign picture. THE
Miracle" was made in Italy by,
of all producer directors.
Roberto Rosselini. This is the
man who married one of
Hollywood's most beloved
daughters. Ingrid Bergman,
against the wishes Of virtually
every one except the principals
in the affair.
Of All the lmpudence
Rossellini, true, was not q
major character in the eman-
cipation drama. Still he was
in the cast and it was one of
his most impudent works.
"sacrilege" the New York Board
of Regents called it-that sud-
denly blew down the restrictive
walls.
Hollywood could not close it's
eyes to this, nor to another
irony that the fight for "The
Miracle" had been made by.
not the industry. but Joseph
Burstyn. Burstyn is a dealer in
foreign films. His connection
with the American Aim industry
Is close to zero. THE cynical
were amused that he and Ros-
selini were the major per-
formers in a victory that had
eluded more statuesque cinema
figures for decades.
Hollywood Crineed
Hollywood has cringed for
decades with the knowledge
that bad publicity for 1t is good
publicity for its attackers. Head
line hunters marked it long ago
as the quickest route to public
attention. They have used this
knowledge not merely to the
disadvantage of the movie in
duStry, but also to that Of
sincere and honorable doubters
of Hollywood morals and their
moral effect.
The industry has become
psychotic in its yearning for
publicity and its fear of pub
licity.
The Supreme Court decision
came as a sort of shock treat
ment.
What its effect will be, the
patient is not prepared to dis
cuss. It is full Of happy antici-
pations and this is about all it
knows. HappieSt of these homes

for the future Is that the de-
cision will modify. If not end,
the dominance Of State and
local censorship boards over the
industry's product.
Some Of these have given
Hollywood the horrors for dec
AIDES. It has its own code TO
protect moviegoers against libel,
obscenity, incitement to riot,
etc. The Supreme Court deci-
sion mentions that movies are
In no way absolved from these
restraints.
But how to conform 70
eccentric local requirements
which vary to the point Of dis
traction? For instance, the
Massachusetts, rule barring
movies not suitable to be shown
on the Sabbath? Or the ban on
scenes Of violence in Ohio?
Violence as part Of life - or
Virtually all Of it these days
as one harassed movie maker
observes wryly-seems o valid
part Of Aim drama, but not in
Ohio.
This was respectability OBJ
tanned obliquely after being
sought so long and In such
spiritual anguish.
Being clothed with the guar
antees Of the Bill Of Rights,
by whatever sardonic twist Of
fate, could not have been more
timely. In spite of the most
expensive tailors and couturiers,
Hollywood has been painfully
exposed to censorial storms from
every quarter since World War
II. Red-hunters have combed
its curving residential boule-
wards. Television has been chal-
lenging it to come out and
fight. Censors have gone on q
spree.
Memphis Another
And Memphis! Hollywood has
tried not to hate Memphis but
1t makes no secret of its loath-
ing for Lloyd Binford. Censor
Binford is sheer axman in Hol-,
lywood's book, the official who
removes scenes from pictures
merely because they involve Ne
gross. AS for total pictures,
THE Southerner" was banned
because lit reflects on the
South" and "Lost Boundaries
because it was against public
welfare"
The banning of "Pinky," an
other film treating the race
theme, in the South is another
eagerly awaited decision from
the Supreme Court. The indus
try is fighting this case itself
and already one exhibitor. fined
for showing the Aim in Texas in
defiance Of the local censors. has
petitioned for reversal Of the
decision on the basis Of last
weeks Miracle" ruling.
If the free speech" ruling
lifts some of the load of official
censorship off Hollywood's
shoulders, it still will be left with
the unofficial restraints. These
are the pressure groups Of which
the currently most active one is
the American Legion.
Hollywood has caviled before
such offenSives as these for
years. Last weeks ruling has en-
couraged some of its more ag-
gressive leaders to suggest flght-
ing back. AS the press has fought
for its precious freedom through
the years.
AS usual. however. it is left up
to time to tell the effect Of the
ruling for which the movie in.
dustry waited all those hesitant,
terrified decades.

Navy Secretary
 Blasts Inefficiency In Govt Workers

MILWAUKEE, (P)- Secretary of Navy Dan A. Kimball, struck sharply at inefficient government employees and harping civilians Wednesday night and also said the Navy would carry the war to the enemy if there is no truce in Korea.
 He delivered his strongly word ed speech to a meeting of the local Navy League Council and the Milwaukee Executives Club after laying aside his prepared text.
 Referring to men in govern ment, Kimball declared. If they don't deliver the goods, let them get to hell out of office"
 AS for critical civilians, he said:
 "If you're not willing to come down and show us how to do it better, don't sit at home and criti- cize."
 The Navy secretary did not mention any names.
 "If God forbid we do not have a truce in Korea the Navy will carry the war to the enemy" " Kimball warned.
 "We're not going to fight the next war in the United States. We're going to fight it somewhere else, and it'll be up to the Navy to take the Army, the Air Force and the Marines to their new pos itions, and it'll be the Navy which supplies them with what they need to do their jobs."

 That was not quite 20 years ago, but the Rotarians listening in by delayed recording "at this more convenient time" during yester- days Rotary luncheon got a good bit of the feeling of panic that was then in the air. They were mighty glad that it was one bit of American history that was safe ly past.
 They heard Babe Ruth hit into a long run, and they heard the voice of one of Americas presi- dents say "So we are going to win the war, and we are going to win the paece that follows"

"Clacier Priest Predicts Alaska Volcano Eruption

SAN JOSE, Calif.. (P)-Alaska will be the scene of a major volcanic eruption in the near fu- ture, the glacier priest" predic- ted Wednesday.
 The Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, 64, famed for his explorations and geological researches in Alaska, said that all signs point to a big eruption this summer in the up per part of the Alaskan Penin- Sula.
 But he noted that the region is sparsely populated and said the danger to life will be small.
 Father Hubbard, a noted lec- turer who makes his home at, the University of Santa Clara, pointed to 25 years of volcanic research to back his prediction.
 He said the pattern of Alaskan volcanic activity over the past two years is the same as in the period before the eruption of Mt. Aniakchak, in central Alaska on May l, 1881.
 When Aniakchak exploded, he said, flames shot 10000 feet high and ashes were blown up to 30,- 900 feet and scattered over a ra- dius of 600 miles.
 He recalled that in the past Is months, three Alaskan volcanoes -Pavlov, Knife Peak and Mageik have ''let off steam" by blow ing out their sides and spewing ashes over the countryside. He also pointed to recent volcanic eruptions in the Philippines and Japan.
 Usually before a bag eruption there is considerable volcanic ac- tivity of this kind," he said, add ing that he plans to go to Alaska in late May or early June to see the fireworks.

ADMISSION PRICES UP FOR 1852 BASEBALL

WASHINGTON, (P)-The gov- ernment Tuesday authorized six major league baseball teams and all minor league clubs to raise admission prices for the 1852 sea- son.

 The ticket cost boost for the major league teams ranges from five cents on grandstand seats for the Cleveland Indians to 50 cents on box seats for the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox.
 OPS explained that the higher ceilings for some professional baseball clubs are necessary be- cause of player salary increases, higher travelling expenses for teams on the road and higher costs of maintaining ball parks.
