Economics Bureau Plans Shows for New Year Washington Bureau of THE FILM DAILY Washington— The Bureau of Commercial Economics has scheduled for the coming season a series of diplomatic Sunday evening picture shows, to be held at the Carlton Hotel. American and foreign films will be shown, and eminent speakers of the various countries will give additional information pertaining to the various subjects presented. American subjects scheduled are the Mississippi flood, United States Coast Guard, Reclamation Service, Naturalist in the Rockies and a variety of films dealing with industrial and development phases of foreign countries. The membership of the Bureau includes diplomats, members of Congress and Government officials throughout the world. The Bureau is not a government department, but is an altruistic association using the facilities of governments, manufacturers and educational institutions for disseminating generally useful information through the medium of the screen. Dr. Anita Boggs as director and Randolph M. Boggs as Dean have been carrying on this work for 14 years. The bureau and its work repeatedly have been praised on the floor of Congress. — Merry Xmas — Ohio Censor Is Adamant on Ban on Fight Films Columbus, O. — Only an order from the Supreme Court will change the attitude of John L. Clifton, state director of education who heads the censor bureau, and permit showings in the state of the Tunney-Dempsey fight films. This was his declaration after the Federal Court had handed down a ruling stating that fight films manufactured in the state could be shown legally so far as the government is concerned, despite the fact that they might be made from negatives illegally brought into the state. The decision was made in a suit brought by the Midwestern Film Exchange of Akron, and E. F. O'Donnel, of New York, to enjoin District Attorney Haveth Mau and U. S. Marshal Borthwick from seizing films, which bad been made by a Columbus firm from prints that had been brought to Cleveland. Judge Hough dismissed the application for an injunction, holding the Federal authorities had right only to seize pictures brought into the state illegally, and there was no evidence to show the films in question were illegally in the state, though they had been made from a negative that had been brought into the state illegally. Stuart R. Bolin, counsel for the Akron concern, declared the fight pictures could now be exhibited at private gatherings without interference and that if Clifton would admit them to censorship they could be exhibited in theaters. — Merry Xmas — Wilson Buys Another Covington, Ky. — L.
