The Rev. Dr. Carl E. O rammer, rec
tor of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church,
of this city, nnd the Ilcv.. Clifferd 0
Twombly, rector of St. Jnincs' Church,
Lancnster, ngnln demanded today an
cxplnnatien from Governer Sproul for
removing Dr. Ellis P. Obcrheltzer from
n voting position en the Pennsylvnnla
Beard of Moving Picture Censers.
They chnrnctcrlzcd ns "camouflage"
the appointment of Dr. Obcrheltzer te
the voiceless nosltien of "director."
since, they snld, he is the one who will i
! .l!n..tn.1 1... 1. ,!.... ...... ..1. ...... I
The "open letter," headed "Will
Governer Sproul Explain?" In part
rends as follews:
"Inasmuch as no explanation has
yet been given by Governer Sproul of
Ills' removal of J)r. Ellis V. Obcrheltzer
from the Beard of Censers of Moving
Pictures, we, the undersigned, citizens
of Pennsylvania, 'who have given spe
cln study te the work of the Beard or
Censers and te the moving-picture slt slt
untleu, feel It our duty te the public
welfare te bring home te the Governer
the necessity of some explanation, if
he Is te retain the confidence of many
who hnve put their trust in him.
"Our sepurnte communications te the
press have received no real answer,
for vngile expressions of pride in the
beard and interest In Its work amount
te nothing. A weighty und temperate
edlterlnl In Uje Puiil.ic Lnmiini, point'
ing out the propriety of some explana
tion bus nlse been ignored. We liuvf,
therefore, decided In n joint communi
cation te lay the Issue before the pub
lic. Perhaps the Governer may yet give
us n reasoned reply.
Assert Training Is Needed
"That he may knew just what we
wish him te explain, wc shall put our
questions te him plainly First, hew
Is the removal of Di. Ubcrhelter Ter
the geed of the service? We wish it
te be noted -that, in spite of his high
sounding title of director, Dr. Olier Olier
heltzer has been demoted. Up hns Inst
his vote upon the rejection or modifi
cation of films. Hew can it be for the
benefit of such n bureau, "thnt un ex
perienced and skillful official should
be superseded by u novice? In one of
his explanations of the workings of
the Beard of Censers, Dr. Obcrheltzer
has luld It down, ns well established,
that 'for the first year n new censer is
virtually worthless te the slate. Skill
comes only, with time served nt the
workbench. And here we have an
elficlal of long standing superseded by
such un 'apprentice.' Certainly It
culls for some explanation, if public
offices are te be regarded as public
trusts, te be filled with a view te the
best interests of the people.

but that denial does net reach the point
nt issue, which Is thu removal of Dr.
Oberlieltfeer. We nsk Governer Sproul
te explnln the relations of these inter
ests te thnt demotion. We believe that
they stand in a close relation from the
following circumstances :
"Shortly before the time for tlie re
, i . i , ., ,
appointment of n secrctiiry of the beard
of censers en May 1, 1020, Governer
Sproul emphatically nssurcd one of us
(Dr. Twombly)' u the nresente of n
third party that Dr. Obcrheltzer would
be reappointed. Later en he wrote in
n letter n copy of which lies before
usythnt he expected te appoint Dr.
Obcrheltzer, nltheugh there wns great
opposition te him from the moving -picture
Interests, but 'probably, he
added, 'this is n geed indersement.'
"Can it be that the nieving-picture
people yet hud i be heard? In nny
event they hnd their hearing en May
f. 11)20. nfter the time for Dr. Ober Ober
eoltzer's reappointment was due, when
a committee representing the moving
picture interests wnlted en the Gover Gover
eor nnd urged a change In the standards
of censorship. The members of the
committee were Daniel Frelunan,
David W. Griffith nnd A. Lee Feist,
all of New Yerk, and Merris Wolf, of
Philadelphia. The reappointment was
deferred still longer, nnd new nfter a
sufficient time hns elapsed (was it te
disconnect the Governer's nctlen from
thnt slgniflcnnt visit?) Dr. Oberheltzcr
loses his power te check nnd curb these
manufacturers nnd Is retired from the
benrd. and the Governer roundly
nsserts that the moving-picture inter
ests hnd nothing whatever te de witli
tlie change In the beard or with the
appointment of .Mr. Richnrdsnu.
"All that we enn nsccrtuil! about
Mr. Richardson indicates that he hns
no speclnl (unlificatiens for ihe pest,
