Supreme Court
To Review Ohio
Movie Ruling
WASHLNGTON (NC) The
U.S. Supreme Court has consented
to review decisions in tu’o cases, in
which film distributing agencies
are attempting to dismantle state
movie censorship machinery.
The cases involve:
—The Commercial Pictures Cor
poration which is seeking to in
validate an order of the regents of
the University of New York, the
State's censorship agency, banning
the showing of the French-made
movie “La Ronde” on the grounds
that it is immoral. The New York
courts have upheld the action of
the censors, w’hich deemed the pic
ture offensive to public morals.
—Superior Films, Inc., which is
seeking a reversal of Ohio court
rulings upholding the State s cen
sorship agency, the Division of
Film Censorship of the Depart
ment of Education, which refused
to license a movie called “M”. The
agency held the picture could lead
to serious increase in immorality
and crime among unstable persons
of any age level because the por
trayal of a child killer emphasized
complete perversion without serv
ing any valid educational purpose.
In both cases, the film distribut
ing agencies are relying principal
ly on the U.S. Supreme Court’s
ruling in the Burstyn case, which
lifted the ban on the controversial
movie. “The Miracle,” in New York
State. The film agencies contend
that in the Burstyn case the court
decided that motion picture cen
sorship was an unconstitutional
abridgement of free speech and
free press. The New York and
Ohio courts disagreed with the
stand, holding that the decision
did not outlaw censorship of mov
ies on all grounds.
The movie “La Ronde” has been
evaluated in Class C—condemned
-and “M” in Class -morally ob
jectionable in part for all—by the
National Legion of Decency.

Lodge Scores
Treatment Of
Polish Primate
The head of the United States
delegation to the United Nations.
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge,
expressed his “deep concern” over
the cohtinuing denial of human
rights and fundamental freedoms
behind the Iron Curtain. In a
letter to Mrs. William H. Dalton,
president of the National Council
of Catholic Women, Ambassador
Lodge declared:
“At every possible opportunity
I have been bringing these matters
before the open forum of the Unit
ed Nations so that all the world
may know the inhuman conditions
imposed by Soviet communism.”
In another protest against the
Cardinal Primate’s “brazen arrest”
to the Polish ambassador in Wash
ington, Archbishop Patrick A.
O’Boyle of Washington wrote that
the Polish regime had “shamefully
and heinously” disregarded the
rights of the people. “History
teaches us.” he said, “that the
Polish people have never relin
quished their fierce defense of
freedom, and what the tyranny of
past ages has failed to accomplish,
the tyranny of this age will like
wise fail, even though it be the
tyranny of their own government.”

Spain, Vatican Exchange
Concordat Ratifications
VATICAN CITY—(Radio, NC)
Ratifications of the recent Spanish
Vatican concordat were exchanged
here between the Spanish envoy
and the Vatican Secretariate of
State.
The contrast between the status
of woman in Christian and non
Christian countries is the gauge of
the influence the Church has had
in raising the state of women to
its present high degree, he pointed
out.
“Supplementing the teaching of
Christ in elevating woman to her
new dignity,” Monsignor Casey
added, "has been the influence of
that model of womanly virtue and
beauty, the Blessed Virgin Mary,
the Mother of our Saviour.”
Reverenced as the ideal among
God's children,” the Monsignor
continued, “Mary has elevated all
womanhood to a new position of
honor and dignity in the eyes of
men”
Outlining the solemn duty and
the high privilege of women to
“rally to the cause of the Church
today.” Monsignor Casey conclud
ed by reminding the women that
it is “by pursuing enthusiastically
and energetically the program of
the Council of Catholic Women
that you will be making your per
sonal holiness reach into every
concern of Christian living and do
ing your share to win back society
to a proper, just recognition of its
relationship to God you will
be doing your part to maintain the
high status of womanhood that the
Church has fought so valiantly to
establish.”
The nine workshops conducted
during the day-long convention,
followed the theme, “Increase

Mrs. John R. Holden, chairman

Church's teachings on social prob
lems and to put into the action
these teachings. Miss Martha
Blocker urged greater participa
tion by the women in Lay Apos
talate work, saying that “women
have the qualities, temperament
and gifts for spiritual as well as
physical motherhood.”
Mrs. Constance Nichols. Social

An imposing record of the past year’s achievements and
inspiring programs for the coming year were presented by the
members of the Columbus Diocesan Council of Catholic Wom
en at their Eighth Annual Convention at the Neil House in
Columbus, Tuesday.
The convention opened at nine a. m. Tuesday with a Pon

Ready, and closed with a banquet at seven p. m. in the Grand
Ballroom of the Neil House.
During the day. the delegates and members took part in
nine workshops held in the Neil’
House and the State Office build
ing.
Keynoting the convention was
the sermon delivered by Monsignor
Joseph Casey, Dean of the
Southern Deanery and pastor of
Holy Redeemer parish. Portsmouth.
Speaking on “The Church. The
Staunchest Friend of Women”,
Monsignor Casey declared that the
Church “stands out before the
eyes of the world as the solitary,
fearless champion of the rights of
womanhood.”
Directly attributing woman’s
honored plac» in society today to
the influence of the Church, Mon
signor Casey said it was “by her
steady, unwavering insistence on
the sacredness and enduring char
acter of Christian marriage, by her
championing the sanctity of the
home and particularly the rights
and happiness of woman, that the
Church has elevated the position
of woman to a place of prominence
and reverence that was totally un
known before her founding and un
equalled in countries where
Christs teachings have failed to
reach*
and social and religious activities.
Mrs. Nichols expressed the hope
that “with study and action under
the church, more progress” could
be made.
Mr. L. C. Murphy outlined the
Industry Council Plan which
brings into practice the Encycli
cals which were written by Pope
Pius XI, and Pope Leo XIII. This
plan, fostering economic peace, re
quires the joint action of all par
ties. Mr. Murphy pointed out: the
parties management, labor
and the Government.
Following the talks by commit
tee members, Father Augustine
Winkler, diocesan director of so
cial action, summarized the prac
tical applications of social acton
in the field of labor. He empha
sized the purpose of unions as
being the “natural organization in
which the laboring man works for
industrial peace.” He stated that
the women “have an obligation to
form a Catholic conscience and to
know’ the mind of the Church
industrial matters.”
Family Life
Father Leonard J. Fick, of the
Pontifical College. Josephinum. in
an address at the Family Life
Workshop, pronounced the Kinsey
report as “the work of a self-de
luded charlatan.”
Listing the errors made by the
Indiana professor in assembling
this “pseudo-scientific drivel.”
Father Fick noted that the find
ings are based on interviews with
only 5.940 women, or about one
fourteenth thousand of the total
female population of the United
States.
To make matter! even worse,
the priest continued, these women
were not representative. He as
