New Censor to End Comic Book Gore
Glenwood Springs, Colo.—(U.P.)The new czar of the nation's comic book industry today ordered an immediate halt in the distribution of publications featuring horror, terror and gory crime.
It was the first edict of the new head censor of the comic book industry, Charles F. Murphy, 44. Mr. Murphy, former legal advisor to the late Mayor Florella La Guardia and a lawyer in court judge, was named head censor of the comic book industry last week.
Addressing a joint meeting of the Bureau of Publishers and Independent Distributors and the Central States Distributors Association here today, he promised that a new code of ethics for comic book publishers soon would be announced and in effect by Oct. 15.
Mr. Murphy told a meeting of magazine publishers and distributors here that "horror and terror books are out." He said he made that demand a condition of his accepting the new censorship post. He will assume office Oct. 1.
He said all comic book publications approved and cleared through his office would bear a standard seal of approval by Jan. 15.
Mr. Murphy said 24 of the 27 concerns which publish comic books already had "enthusiastically endorsed" his edict.
He said the code of ethics would be proclaimed "upon good taste and interpreted in the public interest," and predicted that such censorship would rob comics of none of their action.
"You can depict certain incidents as factors in life and still do it in good taste." he said. Mr. Murphy added that only about five per cent of the comic books now being published are "objectionable."
Murphy said he would welcome recommendations from any interested groups prior to announcement of the new code. He added that the information provided of what their children are doing at all times in order that they may
select their reading material until the seal system goes into effect."

SenateMayReconvene In Censure Case Action
Washington—(U.P.)—Senate leaders have agreed to call the upper chamber back into session as soon as possible to deal with the McCarthy censure resolution, informed sources reported today.
The date is not yet definite but they said that the senators may be told to report to the capital as early as the middle of next week.
Airman'sBody FoundInC-82 Plane Crash
Sheriff's deputies said the body had not been identified and that Major James M. Wagner, beloved to have been the plane's co-pilot, said he did not know how many of the nine men aboard had bailed out.
San Bernardino, Calif. —(U.R.) Authorities said today they found the burned body of an airman who was unable to parachute from a crippled C-82 flying boxcar that crashed and burned last night in Holcomb valley north of here.
Authorities said the plane set a "major" forest fire when it crashed and the fire prevented immediate search of the plane wreckage. They said air-rescue crews were continuing to search the wreckage and nearby areas for five men still on the missing list. An "all-out" effort to find the five men would begin at daybreak, they said.
Wagner and two other airmen, all of Sioux City, Iowa, were brought out from the desolate area earlier today by helicopter.
A Trans World Airlines pilot enroute to Los Angeles directed his plane after the crippled C-82 early last night had radioed the crash site. near Fawnskow, Calif.
Ground parties from nearby Norton air force base and March Air Force base were attempting the rescue of the parachutists.

$\triangleright$ This prediction is based on the expectation that the six-man committee studying the censure charges against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy will complete its work by this weekend.
But Republican leader William F. Knowland of California and Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas are said to have agreed the issue should be faced without delay, regardless of the consequences.
There has been considerable speculation that the explosive issue would be postponed until after the November elections to spare candidates any possible political embarrassment.
There are increasing signs the censure group, headed by Sen. Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah), expects to finish its work in two or three days and make its report public early next week.
When the Senate referred the censure charges to the six-man committee last month, it agreed to come back to act on a report on the fifth day after a formal call from Sen. Knowland and Sen. Johnson. A call Friday could bring the Senate back next Wednesday.
Although there has been nothing official, observers believe the indications now are that the group is heading toward agreement on some form of criticism of Sen. McCarthy. Whether it will formally recommend some action, however, remains undisclosed.
It was learned the committee has been keeping in close touch with Sen. Knowland, who has been at the bedside of his stricken wife in California, and with Sen. Johnson, who is campaigning in Texas.
