Foreign Films Key
To Better Relations
You don’t'have to be g lihguist or globe trotter to spend a Mon
day or Tuesday evening with an Englishman, Italian, Frenchman, or
Spaniard. Gne ticket will buy you the way to a better understanding
of European people.
... The International’Eilm, club, } college organization, cooperates
with downtown theaters to give you the better foreign films.
This is a uniaue-setup according
to Edward- Abramson,, president
of the clvb. Most large colleges—
Cornell. Michigan, and Wisconsin
—present foreign films on cam
pus. ■ ■
Started In 1943
The club was started in 1943
by Lihvill Watson, anthropology
student; George , Azasz,. physical
chemist; Jack Geist; chemical -en
gineer; and Edvard Abramson,
sociology, professor. Its purpose
was to make a. higher standard of
amusement available to students.
In. its infancy the club showed
movies', .with two. showings a
night. The movies, 16 millimeter
films, were rented directly from
New York distributors. Club
membership in the first year
swelled to 300. A dollar fee gave
a member access to all the films.
Later, the downtown* theater
manager offered to show the type
of foreign movies the club
wanted. The manager took over
the business side of the project
and; the club acted as selector of
films. ' rV :
;"The dub still operates .under
tftis system,” Abramson said.
“However,” he said, “Warner
Brothers supplies the films now.”
“Sometimes it does hot send the
films we ask for,” he added.'fie
said , that foreign films are as
closely censored as American.
Film* Moire Mature
% The sociology professor thinks
that in general Italian and French
films are better than the best
American movies. He believes
tßjs is because they have a more
nrature quality. The club presi
dent thinks the regions repre
sented in foreign films are more
interesting and varied than those
iilgAm&icah films.

Air Attack Will Not Stop
Instructions From Radio
CHICAGO, April 16—(AP) —In the event of an enemy air attack
you'■still would be able to receive instructions from civilian defense
officials on your radio.
A plan to maintain radio contact with the public without enabling
enemy bombers to use the broadcasts as homing beams was outlined
to broadcasters by government officials today in a closed session
It was part of a mobilization
program at the annual convention
of the National Association of Ra
dio and Television Broadcasters.
Plans Classified
Details of the plan were labelled
classified. However, defense offi
cials have disclosed that a key
point in their overall planning is
to prevent enemy planes from
using electromagnetic radiation —
including radio broadcasts —as
navigation aids.
With modern electronics devices,
planes can use the signals of a ra
dio station in normal operation to
pinpoint the location of the craft
in the air.
Enemy Blacked Out
The problem has been to devise
a way of keeping radio contact
with the public without giving the
enemy the benefit of such a valu
able navigation aid.
Otherwise all stations would
have to go off the air and radio
