JUVENILE DELINQUENCY 219 For many years, the motion-picture industry has been providing a wide variety of those wholesome offsetting experiences. They have doubtless counterbalanced much that has been less good. Through the operation of our code, through the sincerity of our leadership, and through the cooperation of thousands of community leaders, our in- dustry is producing a great volume of motion pictures which resist trends that are destructive to the morals, ideals, and behavior of our young people. I am sorry I have taken so much of the committee's time. Thank you for hearing me out. Chairman Kefauver. Well, thank you, Mr. Albright, for a very comprehensive and good statement in explaining the work of the educational services of your association. It shows a great many fine accomplishments have been made. Mrs. Foster. Mr. Chairman, pardon me, but while these members of the hirelings of the movie industry are here, how about those kind of pictures for our children ? Is that what you call constructive Mr. Chairman? I'd like to know if those things are constructive, that's all I'd like to know. Chairman Kefauver. Thank you Mrs. Foster. I don't think Mr. Albright would approve or would think very well of these posters back here. Mr. Albright. I think you have come to a very worthwhile conclu- sion in that matter. Chairman Kefauver. That is a part of the industry, of course Mr. Albright. But what Mrs. Foster said is what a lot of people are thinking. Any questions, Mr. Bobo ? Mr. Bobo. No questions. Chairman Kefau^ter. Well, Mr. Albright, we think that you have given us a good statement, and undoubtedly the pictures that you have talked about here are great educational efforts, and in the schools they have played a very important part. I think lot of good and a tre- mendous amount of real education will be derived from what they see in these pictures in the schools. I know the sincerity with which you carry on your part of this work, and I want to compliment you and to congratulate you. Mr. Albright. Thank you. Chairman Kefau\'er. I ho]:>e that the criticisms that have been brought out here will be considered by all of you in carrying out your program in the future, and our criticisms have not been directed to the pictures going into the schools. I think they have been very well considered. We have very few letters of criticism about them. Thank you very much. Mr. Albright. Thank you. Mr. Irving Benesch. I would like to ask the chairman a question. I will have to read part of Mr. Albright's statement in order to ask the question. Chairman Kefauver. Wliat is your name, sir? Mr. Benesch. Irving Benesch. Chairman Kefauver. Tell us where it is. Mr. Benesch.
