Abbott Lawrence Lowell, the blue-blooded 77year-old educator whose Ion# presidency at Harvard left indelible marks on America's richest and oldest university, is going to lend his influence to making the movies social-minded. For more than a year, under direction of Professor Kamuel Renshaw of Ohio State, the sleep of 170 children was automatically recorded by instruments to determine whether going tq the movies cost them lost or troubled sleep. The tests showed definitely that it did, not only on the night of the picture, but for as long as five nights afterward. A general report on the studies by Dr. W. W. Charters, also of Ohio State, was approved, by Dr. Hibben just before* his^death in an auto nsci- : | dent. Dr. Hibben commented that! the research showed that many cur-, I rent films conflict with the teachings > | and standards of the training <>f home,' church and school. They "constitute a valid basis for apprehension about their influence or. children." Dr. Ilib-j ben added. The stui.'e- included such interesting finding- a- tno.-e: Of 1 b ?vs < i | and gild- in-tw-en eight and !'.' year.I old. t a? li g;r". w.r.t to the nr.vie- !'? an : < a boy ~>7 a ? :tr.

Tie- t"cm* .".lou- n.tiai t fTect o?t showed d?-fir.;te!;. that children !ak< movlt- more .-eriuu-'.y than grownups, that they are more real to them, and that their emotional reaction is sometimes as much a? eight times as marked as that of grownups watching the same picture. | The council does not aim at censor- j ship, and is the first to admit that j some movies may have a relaxing and even beneficial effect on children. It has no idea of preventing children from going to the movies, for it is the first to admit that they will go anyway. Xor, has it any idea of demanding that all movies be reduced to a level where they will be suitable for nine-year-old children. Its work is largely fact-finding, in the belief that after the facts are disclosed, it will be time enough to determine what changes, if any, are necessary. The farm credit administration at Washington has informed cotton j farmers that they are not to be compelled to tJoss their cotton on the markets in order to meet government loans duo October .'list. Cotton pledged for loans may be turned over to co-operative marketing associa tions for "orderly" disposal. In cases where farmers are not members of cooperative associations the cotton may be stored in Federal bonded wa rehouses.

Johnson, NRA administrator, in a Washington dispatch of Tuesday, was pictured as looking for additional funds to finance the recovery program. Among other things he is quoted as saying that: "I do not think the commercial banking operation^ of the country are functioning."
