...Dore Schary had "postponed' two pictures, The Boy with the Green Hair (which preached racial tolerance) and White Tower (a plea for international harmony). There was doubt that Frank Capra, already well into making State of the Union (for M-G-M), would have started this satire on U.S. politics under present circumstances. One frightened Hollywoodenhead said that even last year's Academy Award winner The Best Years of Our Lives could not have been made now (one of the villains was a banker...

Federal aid to state institutions has long been a red flag to professional supporters of states' rights, especially in the South, which needs aid most. Also, four members of the Commission have dissented from the majority which condemned the paralyzing policy of racial segregation in southern colleges. Added to these stumbling-blocks of blind localism and prejudice, is the general inertia over education of the kind which has complacently allowed teachers' salaries to remain at a disgraceful level...
