Maryland censor lament on postwar movie morals and censorship
Sydney R Traub, chairman of the Maryland Board of Motion Picture Censure, says courts will end official censorship as Hollywood faces a moral decline and legal challenges. He notes seven state boards and 18 city boards exist, but predicts civic boycotts and lax standards could ruin cinema without censorship. Traub cites a federal suit in Atlanta backed by Hollywood seeking to overturn the 1915 Supreme Court ruling upholding censorship and criticizes self regulation under the production code.
