A Point Four Program to aid
millions of poverty-stricken Aslans
was advocated this week by James
Eldridge of Chillicothe in talk
before the Catholic Mems Lunch
con Club. The address featured
meeting hOnoring Bishop Ready on
the Ninth Anniversary of his in
stallation as the Ordinary of the
Columbus Diocese.
Urging a foreign policy which
would make the Middle East
bloom as it did in the days of the
Old Testament" Eldridge declar-
ed:
IF democracy doesn't practice
what il breaches, 500000,000 peo-
pie will swing into the MARKHAM
sphere of influence"
Eldridge, who is News and Pro-
gram Director of Radio Station
WBEX, Chillicothe, asserted that it
is a staggering fact" that these
people are caught in the might
est revolutionary surge of all
time" because they were awaken
ed to freedom and self-rule by the
Japanese whose conquering armies
destroyed the myth of white mans
supremacy.
This area, he continued, is ries
in natural resources which are
needed in the free world For this
reason, Eldridge warned, the
United States must move quickly
in order to save Asia from the
Kremlin.
American Catholics, he said, are
particularly fitted to play prom
inent role in the formulation of
foreign policy because of their
sense Of history and sense of in
ternational understanding.
The historical understanding is
derived from the fact that the
Church has been the Oldest witness
to western civilization, and that it
has developed many great scholars
who have studied the great issues
which have rocked society. Inter
national understanding, he said, is
possessed by Catholics who are
taught that they are their brothers
keepers, that excessive natiOnalism
and a sense of racial supremacy IS
wrong.
In conclusion, Eldridge, who is
a member of the National Catholic
Education Association and the
Catholic Association for Interna-
tional Peace, said he was confident

The Production Code was form
ed in 1929, and approved volun-
tarily by individual producers, who
agreed it was for the betterment
Of the film industry to keep movies
on an acceptable moral plane.
The code as il exists today was
commended by the Bishops OF
the United States last November
in special resolution which
praised IL as "a worthy under.
taking and one capable Of afford
ing vital protection TO the whole
public, especially youth, against
the harmful influence Of morally
bad motion pictUres."
In 1858, no film which carried
the Code Seal Of Approval was con-
demned by the Legion of Decency.
Meanwhile the US. Supreme
Court was reminded of the influ-
ence OF movies on juvenile delin-
quency as 1t prepared to hear a

torneys asked. Is there any differ
enee from saying that narcotics or
liquor shall not be sold to minors?"
Arguments on the French film,
La Ronde, scheduled in the Su-
preme Court for the first week Of
January, followed an appeal by
Us. distributors of the film who
asked the court to strike down all
censorship.
New York barred the picture
condemned by the Legion of De-
cency1 on the grounds that il was
immoral. Distributors Of the film
asked the Supreme Court to de-
clare that any form Of censorship
prior TO public showing of movie
constitutes q violation of the con-
stitution's guarantee Of free
speech.
New York State attorneys In
their brief said: "If there ever
was : time in the history Of fhs
United States when need ex-
isfed for the supervision of inde-
cent and immoral exhibitions Of
motion pictures, il is now.
1T is quite unnecessary to re-
mind the court that the problem
of juvenile delinquency is an all
embracing one, in which newspa-
pers, social organizations and gov
ernmental agencies. including the
Senate Judiciary Committee, are
evincing great concern"

Kidding themselves of communists
"faster and more effectively than
any other segment of the popula-
ton" Hitting hard at communism,
he also attacked those who, he
said, would fight social gains by
smearing as communists those who
are effective liberals.
Down through the years" he
said, almost every liberal union
member who has fought hard and
effectively for stronger unions and
a better America has been called
q communist-or worse.
Don't let anyone stop you with
a fake communist smear. Fight
back Don't be afraid of being a
liberal and don't be afraid to stand
up and be heard for the things
you believe in" he said.
He called on the wives of union
members to let other wives know
"you are proud that your man is
