over the modern trend In motion pictures.

ing juvenile violence and degeneracy.
The chief of the CI-Men firmly believes there are
himdreds of wonder ul stories thatfcan be told on the
screen which could be beneficial, rather than destruc-
tive. Be is convinced a movie can offer the ultimate

educational. - • • ;
°Why educate youngsters in the field of in-
"fission, Brutality and Indecency?" be asked.
Among 7er: cap:tures he referred to one in
which a tittle rl murders three people. It is Med
as The Big and it for
adults only."

they know what they are doing," hevaid. an arouses
