THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1921 11 SHIPS TARGETS | FROM AR AND SEA l’lane and Warcraft Tests | { for United States From F June 1 toJuly 15. targets for aerial bombs in tests to be conducted jointly by Army and Nav forces between June 1 and July 1 These vessels are the obsolete Ameri- | can battleships Towa and Kentucky, the former German battleship Ostfries- Jand, the former German cruiser Frankfurt, four former German sub- marines and three former German de-‘ stroyers. According to the approved plan, the battleship Towa, equipped with radio control gear that will enable the ves: Bel to be maneuvered at sea at a speed of about ten knots with no one aboar will be steered, between Cape Hatteras and Cape Henlopen, from fifty to one hundred miles off shore, the aircraft to search for and find the vessel and bomb it with dummy bombs of stand- ard weight and size. This test will be intended to develop the ability of the aerial forces to find and actually hit with bombs a battle- ship underway at sea. Using Real Bombs. Atter the ®wa test the four former] hands of German submarines in the the United States will be taken to sea. where one will be attacked by merial bombing. The other three will be made the targets for the guns of the destrovers of the Atlantic fleet until sunk. One of the three ex-German destroy- ers will then be attacked by craft using 230-pound bombs. The other two destroyers will be sunk by gunfire from American destroyers simulating battle conditions. In the attack on the former Ger- man cruiser Frankfurt, all avail- able seaplanes will be used. A simul- tanenous attack will be made, using 250-pound heavy case aerial bombs. 1f the hits made are not sufficient to sink the Frankfurt, the vessel will Be sent to the bottom by gunfire from destroyers and depth charges. In attacking the ex-German battle- ship Ostfriesland, a modern craft of about 26,000 tons, the aircraft may. up- erate singly or in groups accordi %o the instructions, bombs from 550 pounds up to the largest obtainable to_be used. If, after the aerial attacks, the Ost- friesland is still afloat, the vessel will used as a target for the l4-inch guns of relected vessels of the At- lantic fleet until sunk. The Navy Department also has placed the pre-dreadnaught battleship Kentucky entirely at the disposal of the Army to develop off-shore tactics for aerial attacks by land planes and alfo to illustrate the difficulty of lo-| cating a war vessel at sea. Careful arrangements will be made to observe the results of the experi- ments and to photograph the progress | of the tests. Observers from both the Army and Navy will be present. ' The resuits will be ‘kept secret until studies by the joint board have been concluded. PLAN WESLEYAN DRIVE. Alumni Hear Outline for Campaign, at Dinner Here. Roy B.

Phome M. 14, FURTHER RULES FOR MOVIES WITHOUT CENSORSHIP IN VIEW Suggestion of General Police Regulation Follows Dramatic Hearing on Subject Before D. C. Commissioners. The Commissioners are considering the enactment of general police regu- lations to govern the exhibition of motion pictures in Washington with- out creating a board of censorship. This was the course taken today, following the public hearing yester- day on regulation of the movies, which was one of the most dramatic and spirited sessions ever staged be- fore a_board of Commissioners. Led by David W. Griffith, the pro- ducer, business men and private Citi- zens argued against censorship by a board that would judge in advance what the public should and should not seé. | The local exhibitors, through Attor- “harles W. Darr, contended that ting police regulations governing improper entertainments of all kinds are ample to prevent the exhibition of improper motion pictures, and that no further regulation is needed. Views of Censorship Proponents. The advocates of regulation, led by Rev. Lucius Clark of the Washington Federation of Churches, did not con- tend for a board of censors to pre- review pictures. As announced in The Istar ~yesterday, ~they recommended that for three months the motion pic- ture theaters be put on probation and directed to observe the rules of Penn- sylvania, which specify certain Kinds of pictures and scenes which shall not be shown. Mr. Griffith, in the course of his ap- peal ‘against 'censorship, frankly ad- mitted that some “pictures have been shown that should He pointed out, however, that many words have been spoken ‘and many books written that should have been left unsaid and unpublished. Mr. Griffith presented his argu- ments with all the force of an actor and when he had finished there was prolonged applause. He painted a vivid_picture of what he regards as the danger to American liberty in censorship of anything. Query by Commissioner Kuts. When he had finished Engineer Commi!slonel' Charles W. Kutz said: “I think we all realize the dangers of censorship, but you have admitted that there are some pictures should not be exhibited. stop those pictures? The Commis- sioners do not agree that the exist- ing police regulations cover motion pictures.” “What we oppose,” replied Griffith, { “is the stopping of pictures by pre- review—the old method of law by injunction. If your local police regu- lations do not put motion pictures under the same rules as the stafe, then by all means, put us under the same heading for our own protection.” “That is the viewpoint of the Com- | missioners,” was the brief reply of Col. Kutz, and the hearing proceed- A bitter controversy arose toward the close of the hearing when Thom- as Donovan, appearing as an indi- vidual and a patron of the movies, challenged the right of Charles A. McMahon of the National Catholic Welfare Council to speak for the { Catholics of Washington in favor of { further regulation of films. Summing Up by Mr. Graves.

Harper, appearing for the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce, placed that body on opinion tnat existing police regula- { tions amply control the movies.

Mr. Graves summed up the case for those who advocated additional regulation of the movies. Rev. Wilbur F.
