Othe Matters of Interest. : ' 4- " S-V 'Sv Rcli igh, Feb. 24. Tom Dixon i and Ike Meekins were the big gungln the censorship of moving picture befoitf the educational committees of the Sen-, ate and House jresterday afternoon id which voted for, a f a vorab!e, re port on the State-wide bill- ' "p.-- There were other speakers both for and against the measure but the Dix-on-Meekins talkfest was the main; at traction and the hall of he House of repesentatives was jammed and pack ed 7to the doors with spectators. Mr. Dixon spoke first and" denounced the proposed law as unconstitutional, Tin democratic, un-American tod termed censors as "scavengers" who are .pald, to look for and find the least tinge, "dirt" in moving pictures. V- The proposed law for Korth Caroli na, he said, was patterned after the Pennsylvania law which to his mind was enough to defeat the measure. "In the name of God," he said, "if yqtf are going to pass a censorship bill for North Carolina don't use the Penn sylvania law as a model." Tlie peo-. pie who are asking f or censorship are the people who never go to'the shows, he told the committee, and declared xthat the spoken play was farworse than the moving pictures: "?: tC ylvania censorships was based on'thV board's record which -he read explain ed. Amouer other thinca vthe Penn sylvania censors haM condemned two seiitences used in a; play based on the Bible wherein the words of Christ were used. These and numerous other acts of censorship were cied all "of which Mr. Dixon said were the height of stupidity and assininity. Colonel Meeking declared he knew not what he was getting into when he accepted an invitation to ta.Ik for the Raleigh women." The next time he thought he would know better. He cbided Mr. Dixon about quitting the ministry and thought the speech Dixon made would have been much better if it were not "38 years old.". He made that same speech 38 years" ago, said Mr. Meek: ns, opposing Judge H. G. Connor's obscene printed matter bill. Mr. Meekins urged that the bilj ought to be reported favorably, that the wo men of the State wanted it. and, the legislators had no other course to mir- sue. The joint committee voted to send thf bill Lack to the legislative bodies, y with favorable report but minority re- nnrti will v (IaJ u. j v?v. u.. The feven !o six and the Senate 13 to 11. Dr. W. T.
