The article must have been diverting to your readers, despite its inaccuracies and lack of comprehension. Professor Harold Tobin was somewhat surprised to read that his mention of Secretary Wallace had been completely misunderstood--the oversharpened cars of the reporter were not quite sharp enough to avoid misstating the substance of his remarks.

...Censorship is what ruins the plays which are taken from Broadway and turned into pictures," continued Mr. Gribble, "It makes motion picture production absolutely dishonest. There isn't a fact of life which can be shown on the screen. In certain shows you can't even mention the fact that a woman is going to have a baby.
