before to protest against the passage
of a bill providing for censorship of
moving pictures.
The galleries were packed at th-'

3:30 yesterday afternoon and the
spectators saw the Tom Dixon in ac-
tkm. If he did not convince ths corn-
mittee that censorship of moving
pictures was more evu man uib pic
tures it was not because he didn't
have close attention.
Telling tihe committee he opposed
the bill 'as 'a citizen of North Caro
lina' Mr. Dixon decried the tendency
of the time to 'blue-pencil' every
thing that -was done. Censorship is
not a step forward but backward, h?
