Pontifical Commission Says *.
French, Italian, U.S.
Movies Hit
VATICAN CITY—(Radio. NCI
French and Italian films released
in 1953 were of exceptionally low
grade morally, even by compari
son with recent years. Mgr. Al
bino Galletto. secretary of the
Pontifical Commission for Motion
Pictures, has reported.
In an article prepared for pub
lication in Italian atholic news
paper.^. Monsignor Galletto stated
that it had become evident from
an objective examination of the
reports of the Catholic Film Cen
ter in Rome during 1953 that "the
moral crisis of motion pictures is
growing ever more acute.’’
In hit article, the monsignor
called upon Italian Catholics to
emulate Catholics of other coun
tries who exert an influence on
movie production by means of
organized and systematic evalua
tions of films from the Christian
Social Security
Bill Won hl Make
Clergy “Employes’
XX ASHINGTON (NC) A bill
introduced in Congress would re
gard clergymen as employe.'''’ of
churche or other tax exempt or
ganizations. in order to include
them under the provision nf the
Social Security law.
The designation as ‘employes”
has been opposed by some minis
ters of religion.
A measure introduced by Repre
sentative Daniel A. Reed of New
York provides that it a church or
organization makes a waiver of tax
exemption for the purpose of mak
ing the employer’s contribution to
the Social Security tax. clergymen
then on the rolls of the church or
organization could elect to be cov
ered under the Old Age and Sur
xIvors’ Insurance program. Any
clergvmen ordained after i s
church signed the waiver would
automatically be covered.
The bill specifically excludes
clergymen who are members of re
ligious orders that take the vow of
poverty. Having no income at all.
such clergymen are unable to make
the employe contribution to the
Social Security tax.

and moral viewpoint. He wee
seen as obviously referring par
ticularly to the Legion of De
cency in the United States.
The Pontifical Commission which
Monsignor Galletto senes is pre
sided over by Bishop Martin .1.
O'Connor, rector of the North
American College in Rome. The
commission was founded by His
Holiness Pope 1'ius XII in 1948 to
study motion pictures from the
viewpoint of Faith and morals and
of ideological trends. Another pur
pose was to promote observance of
norms formulated by ecclesias
tical authority.
18°o Unobjectionable
Monsignor Galletto disclosed
that of 486 films reviewed by the
Rome film center, only 18 percent
were found unobjectionable for
children, while only 25 percent
were entirely accentable for adults.
He stated that 125 of the films
were completely condemned on
moral grounds, and 145 could be
given only a qualified endorsement
from a moral standpoint.
Sixty per cent of the movies re
viewed by the center were French.
Monsignor Galletto stated, adding
that Italian movies, with 39 per
cent of the rejects, and the United
States with about a third, were
second and third, respectively..
Going Down
“The gravity of the situation,”
he said, “is even more evident
when one considers the statistics
of past years. For example, in
1952 a total of 32 percent of the
films reviewed was approved for
adults.”
The orelate said that a partic
ular difficulty was with the
"package deal" in the United
States, which means the obliga
tory acceptance by the exhibitor
of a string of films comprising
several unacceptable ones. He
hinted strongly at the possibil
ity of oastors of Italian parishes
having to form their own distri
bution circuits for films.
Most parishes in Italy. Monsig
nor Galletto said, have parish mov
ies which try to choose films for
showing to the people at consider
ably lower prices. He stated that
one effective weapon Catholics
could use in the campaign against
bad films would be the formation
of their own distribution organi
zatinn. Even in regard Io the pro
duction of films, he added, steps
might he taken by Catholics on
national and even international
levels.
The moral balance sheet of the
movie industry is far in the red
and the responsibility rests chief
ly nn film magnates, producers and
directors. Osservatore Romano.
Vatican City newspaper, declared
in a front-page editorial.
Actors, even directors, by and
large find themselves in a sub
lection to the financial and admin
istrative end of the industry the
paper said, citing the fact that two
well-known actresses had rehelled
against “the moral prostitution to
which the merchants of this new
slavery forced them, although with
good pay.”
The actresses were not named.
Osservatore took issue with what
it said was the claim made by
film financiers, namely that since
it costs a great deal to produce a
movie, they have to be sure that
it is what the public wants.
“The attraction of shameless
portrayals and dialogue, or ot plots
threaded through with ‘spiciness..’’
the paper said, “does not compare
with the success of famous produc
tions in which hoth good narrative
and excellent acting have combin
ed triumphantly to present even
sacred themes.”
Besides condemning the immoral
tendency of the film industry, Os
servatore assailed beauty contests
in which, it said, “the grace of a
face, the beauty of a person, or
of elegance or attitude are insuf
ficient. but there is also required
anatomical comparisons, measures
and proportions of physical at
tributes. as if they were dog or
horse shows.”

U.S. Support
Of Tito Called
‘Big Mistake’
LOS ANGELES—(NC) “The
United States will eventually say
that its support of Tito was one
of the biggest mistakes it ever
made,” declared Dr. Anthony But
kevich. Croatian-born educator and
lecturer in an interview here.
Giving five reasons why he
thinks Tito will be useless to the
U.S. in the event of a war with
Russia, he said:
“First of all the Croatian people,
as well as other Yugoslav racial
groups, hate Tito too much. They
have fought for hundreds of years
for independence- and Tito has
given them slavery.
“The people within Yugoslavia
are deeply religious. Forty per
cent of the country is Catholic.
Tito’s persecution of the Church
shows them he is not one of them.
"Too," he continued, "Tito
ha* completely shattered the to
cial-economic structure of the
country, a structure that has
been collapsed by failure* in col
lectivization of agriculture and
industry.
“Another reason Tito would be
of no use to the West is because
of the pool geographical position
of the country, a position strate
gically impossible to hold. Major
Yugoslav cities are within a few
hours from Ru-'ian tanks and
planes the harbors are too small
to land troops or supplies, while
the mountain roads leading from
the sea to the cities are too small
for military vehicles.
Dr. Butkovich concluded:
“As for Tito as an effective
guerrilla tighter, this is imposs
ible. He would have to have more
support than simply a hard-core
military’ force, and he is so de
tested ny the peasantry for what
he has done to them that they
would never go to his aid.

Copy Of ’54 Yearbook
VATICAN CITY (Radio. NC) There has not been a
death in the College of Cardinals for over a year. Eleven met
ropolitan sees were created during 1953.
These two facts highlight the statistical data contained in

presses here.
The Vatican Press released some
of these statistics as the first is

cording to long-standing tradition,
the copy was presented on the
Feast of St. Peter’s Chair at Rome.
The presentation was made by
Msgr. Giovanni B. Montini, Vati
can Pro-Secretary’ of State.
The Pontifical Yearbook has
been published in about its pres
ent form for the past 93 years,
though it has not always borne the
same title. Its origin goes back to
1716. Then it was known simply
as “Notizie,” an Italian word mean
ing news or information.
The Yearbook is the work of the
Vatican Secretariate of State and
is printed by the Vatican Publish
ing Office.
Ths statistical data of th* new
Yearbook show* that th* Col
lege of Cardinals has its full
complement of 70—th* same
lest year.
The Vatican Press Office re
lease states that the new Year
book shows a notable increase in
the number of prelates who are
imprisoned or impeded in their
duties behind the Iron Curtain.
Among them the Yearbook lists
His Eminence Stefan Cardinal
XVyszynski. Primate of Poland
the fourth cardinal to suffer from
communists. The others are Their
Eminences Josef Cardinal Minds-
zenty. Primate of Hungary Thom
as Cardinal Tien, Archbishop of
Peking. China, and Aloysius Car
dinal Stepinac. Archbishop of Zag
reb. Yugoslavia.
Other statistics of th* new
Yearbook show there are in th*
world today 10 residential pat
riarchates, five titular patri
archates, 293 residential metro
politan sees, 42 erchiepiscopal
sees, 882 titular metropolitan,
erchiepiscopal or episcopal sees,
70 prelatures and abbeys nullius
and 12 apostolic administrations.
The statistical table further
shows that there are 18 prelates of
the Eastern Rite haying ordinary
personal and territorial jurisdic
tion 2.32 vicariates apostolic. 135
prefectures apostolic, and eight
independent (“sui juris”) missions.
