BBC Lifts Ban Attacked By Shaw, Commons Told

LONDON, March 21 (U. Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced in Commons vesterday that the British Broadcasting Corp had lifted its ban on artists who had supported the People's Convention, and added that he did not believe pacifist views would cause a musician to play off-key. Before the ban was lifted. George Bernard Shaw attacked it as “British Nazism gone mad.” Mr. Shaw sent a special message of protest to the National Council of Civil Liberties protesting BBC's action and asserting that “the whole managing staff of the BBC should be sacked instantly.” “Here we are,” wrote Mr. Shaw. “In the thick of a war in which we claim to be fighting as the cham-|

P.).— pions of Western democracy.” Mr. Shaw's action followed a protest of the BBC action by a group of 600 delegates of trade unions, tenants associations and leftist groups. “Daily we throw into the teeth of Germany and Italy the reproach that they have abolished the rights ‘of public meeting and free speech,” Mr. Shaw said. “And this is the moment selected by the BBC to give] to the world an exhibition of British Nazism gone mad—just on top of suppression of a newspaper, too.” “Europe will hear about it from Herr Goebbels’ Mr. Joyce (Lord Haw Haw). We liquidate our looters whose mischief is comparatively] negligible. When shall we learn to liquidate our fools?” {

Mr. Welles says the picture “in no way represents the life of Hearst.” RKO, under whose auspices the Martian man made the picture, isn't saying anything. The studio simply is not releasing the thing.

And therein rests the cause for |

all the shouting. By and large, it's the biggest dog-fight going Hollvwood rounds since they decided to put the clamp on double entendre scripts. The fact is it makes Ann (don't call me Oomph Girl) Sheridan's hair-pulling with the Brothers Warner diplomatic exchange of notes,

IT ALL started shortly after the young and imaginative Mr. Welles ruined a perfectly good Sabbath with a horde of Martian horribles transported to the Eastern seaboard via the air waves. Soon after, he went to Hollywood to make a movie,

His producers had plenty of money and their order was: “Okeh, you write it, you direct it and you act in it. But it better be good.” Never one to hesitate, Mr. Welles started work. After these many months, it turns out that Mr. movie about a newspaper publisher. The parrots of the picture colony are chattering loudly that “Citizen Kane” is about the life of Hearst. “There is a big motion picture in the life of William Randolph Hearst,” answered Mr. Welles, but added that his movie is in no way connected with the publisher.

n n un BEFORE THE storm reached its present height, a press preview of the picture was arranged in New York for last Tuesday night. Telegraphic invitations were all ready for the wires when George J. Schaefer, RKO president, sud-

denly called off the whole affair |

and struck out for the Coast. Then Mr. Welles called in the press and threatened legal proceedings to compel release of the picture or financial settlement of his interest, which is 25 per cent. “And,” he added, charging frustration of free speech, “I am considering suit against Hearst also. I may sue him for identifying himself as the character I play.” It has been reported that Mr. Hearst threatened sweeping reprisals against the whole motion picture industry if. “Citizen Kane” ever reached the country's screens. All RKO representatives have orders from headquarters to keep absolutely mum pending official studio action.

As a rule, he's strictly a I've-seen-better man. The pity of it is that you and I may never see ‘Citizen Kane.” Unless Mr. Welles buys and distributes the production himself— and he says he has the legal right and cash backing to do so— Mr, Kane may stay canned up for the duration.
