130 JUVENILE DELINQUENCY Chairman Kefauver. Mr. Young, Mr. Warner is on the stand. You had something to say, and let's don't get ofi" the subject. Mr. Young. That is right. Chairman Kefauver. You said that Mr. Warner's company had produced more gangster pictures than all the rest of them put to- gether, Mr. Hayes had a lot of trouble with them, and they complied with the code for a while, but had stopped complying with it now. Is that a summary of what you were saying? Mr. Young. That not only applies to Mr. Warner, but all the major, and independent studios. Chairman Kefau\ter. All right, sir. Mr. Young. Thank you, sir. Chairman Kefauver. You see, we have c(mtroversy, ^Ir. Warner. What do 3'ou say about that ? Mr. Warner. I don't agree with him. As a matter of fact, I don't know how many pictures we have made that—whatever it was. I really don't know what the man is talking about, other than we made pictures, as I described. I named the real hard ones. I didn't name Chairman KErAU\TER. He said you kncAv him. Mr. Warner. I probably do know him. Chairman KEFAU^'ER. Ha^e you had any trouble with either the code under Mr. Hayes or under ISlv. Johnson's dominion ( Mr. Warner. Xo, we had no more trouble tiian anyone else. Every- body has trouble. Chairman Kefaux-er. You do have arguments, and you finally abide b}^ their decisions ? JNIr. AVarner. xVbsolutely. There has never been a picture that our company has put out that hasn't had the proper seal and full respect of tlie code. I am highly in favor of the code, because they are doing a very monumental job. Chairman Kefaunter. Every picture you have put out has had the approval of the seal of the code since it has been in existence ( Mr. Warner. Yes. Chairman Kefauver. Mr. Bobo, do you have any questions you want to ask ? Mrs. George. May I ask a question ? Chairman Kefau\^r. You make your statement to me. Mrs. George. Yes. Chairman Kefauver. What is your name ? Mrs. George. Mrs. S. George. Chairman Kefauv'er. Mrs. George ? Mrs. George. Yes. Mr. Warner has stated that 2 years later—he was 2 years too late in making a war picture, because the current topic wasn't interesting any more. But I would say this: If pictures like the Blackboard Jungle, where the kids, as they say, are all het up with turbulent emotions and crazy upside-down patterns of life, why profit in dollars and cents to bring forth pictures that we already know have hit home at families, and do not care to have it exploited by him companies ? Tliat is not teaching you anything. We read it enough, and the familes have suifered; we all know what it is. Why go to see it ?
