Six New Pictures Are Classified by Legion The National Legion of Decency this week released its ratings for six recently released films. One, "Hi Diddle Diddle," a United Artists' release, was placed in Class B, "Objectionable in Part." Described as Unobjectionable for General Patronage and placed in Class A I, were: "Falcon in Danger," "Trail of Terror," "Victory Through Air Power." Classed as Unobjectionable for Adults in Class A 2, were: "Heaven Can Wait" and "Submarine Base." Regarding "Heaven Can Wait," the Legion said : "The film contains visualization of what are presented in the story as incidents of the future life." The picture "Hi Diddle Diddle" was believed by the Legion to contain "suggestive dialogue ; dishonesty glamorized." Navy Show in Chicago The Chicago Stadium on Friday was to be the scene of the Great Lakes Naval Training show, "Meet Your Navy." Proceeds were to be turned over to the Chicago Service Men's Center. The program was under the supervision of Frank Smith, manager of the RKO Palace in Chicago, and Al Boyd, WLS program director.
