Pin-Up Gets Censoi
4
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD —Walter Lantz,
the cartoon man, has been experi
menting with a beautiful pin-up
girl, Miss XTC, but the censor
came between them.
It is fantastic,” he moaned. “II
cartoons we have to see that the
female form is well clothed—and
not too shapely. The Hays office
objected to the hip movement
when Miss XTC walked. We had
to redraw that sequence at the ex
pense of thousands of dollars.”
Among other restrictions to
hamper the cartoonist dealing with
humans, no other nationalities
but Americans may be portrayed
as villains, Mexicans cannot ap
pear lazy, and Negroes cannot be
menials.
So Lantz is sticking to animals,
on which there are also certain
restrictions. For one thing a
BRADLEY TELLS OF
VET PROGRAM
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10^P)—
Gen. Omar N. Bradley said today
that “jobs cannot be found for vet
erans if they are not found for
other workers.”
The new veterans’ administra
tor was expressing agreement
with Bernard M. Baruch, who had
reported that any veterans’ pro
gram must be tied in with the
larger program embracing the
whole of human demobilization.”
In a report on a study requested
by the late President Roosevelt,
Baruch had told Bradley that “the
very first need” in the return of
veterans to civilian life “is to end
the ‘no man’s land’ of neglect of
human problems.”
Baruch, long-time confidante of
presidents, outlined a seven-point
program. Top recommendations
included:
Immediate steps to provide jobs
for all workers.
Separation and streamlining of
medical and nonmedical functions
of the veterans’ administration.
Liberalization of the G. I. Bill of
Rights.
Granting to veterans entering
business special “incentive” tax
rates 25 per cent lower than the
normal rates.
General Bradley said in a state
ment he agreed with Baruch that
the solution of veterans’ problems
“cannot proceed alone.” He added:
"Jobs cannot be found for v*t
erans if they are not also found
for other workers. Any attempt to
provide full employment for one
group at the expense of others
would and should be destined for
failure.”
NEW SKY GIANT
HAS TEST FLIGHT
LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 10
——A new American sky giant,
designed for war and peace and
capable of circling the globe with
only two stops, took to the air re
cently.
The Douglas C-74 Globemaster,
army version of the DC-7, which
is now on commercial order, was
test flown before a group of mili
tary and Douglas technical ex
perts.
The commercial version of this
war bird will carry 108 passengers
and a crew of 13, with a modern
galley serving full course meals
aloft, dressing rooms and cargo
compartments.

► ' ■ -—
cow’s milk deparment cannot be

Lately he has been working on
a screwy little bird named Woody
' woodpecker. Lantz used to ha*e
woodpeckers. They stored acorns

under his roof and returned later
to pound through the shingles and
retrieve them. The noise drove
him crazy and he had to reshingie
the roof twice. But since the
Woody series became a success, he
is a one-man Audubon society for
the protect:on of woodpeckers.
More censored that pitied—Walter Lantx' creation. Miss XTC, is
shown (center) in her final. Hays-proof form. The smaller poses
were nixed because she did not have her legs, etc., covered
Tricky Lantx made the pants transparent.
