DCBDEDSSC COLUMBIA, S. C. Feb. 19. If there's a literary man in South Carolina who wants a really impressive title, let him follow the course of a new bill in the state House of Rep resentatives. Under it, the state would hire: A director of the Comic Book Division of the Educa tional Department of the stale of South Carolina. His office would censor com ic books, if a door letterer could fit any door with the title. Rep. Billy Drennan Hayes of York County introduced the measure to provide for this DCBDEDSSC. Hayes said his idea is not aimed at curbing the freedom of the press, but at cleaning up juvenile literature. Estimates, of how. many brands of comic books are sold in South Carolina run between 300 and 600. There is a fast turnover. But under' the bill, all comic books sold would have to bear the permanently-stamped ap proval of the Comic Book di-. vision. If the book seller did n't agree that his book should ' have been censored, he could appeal first to the State Board of Education, and then, if he wishes the Court of Common Pleas in the county in which he sells. r
