National Council acts on film charges amid church concerns
The National Council's general reward took action on Thursday over charges in a film and whether it contains error of fact and interpretation. The 4-de nomination council, with 40 Mullion members, said it acted to uphold truth and justice in government acts. Rep Francis Walter led the House committee in the film’s exposure, joined by other members. Church reps warned the film reflects adversely on students and could threaten freedom of expression by implying Communist influence on the committee. Merritt Jensen of the National Student Christian Federation disputed any student violence in the Sam Francisen affair. Church delegates who viewed the film questioned its accuracy in portraying communism and its dangers to the United States.
