Massey said America’s church people should tell Hollywood the kind of pictures it wants produced before the pictures are made, thus averting a defense by the movie makers after they have expended millions of dollars on pictures deemed offensive.

Title: Alaskan elder.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: ALASKAN ELDER #S-3575 ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- One of the most interesting delegates to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. here was Elder Roy Ahmaogak (above) of the Ootkeavich Presbyterian church of Barrow, Alaska, most northerly community on the North American continent. His trip here was the first time in his life he had journeyed below the Arctic Circle. The 48-year-old native of Alaska has acted as an interpreter among the Eskimos since his youth. He has been an elder for 15 years, and was licensed to teach the Gospel two years ago. He will go Oklahoma to work on a translation of the New Testament into Arctic Eskimo dialect. He then will attend Bloomfield Theological Seminary, N.J., to prepare for ordination to the Presbyterian ministry. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CHAMP-FAIR-MES-5C-6-W-M)

Title: Seeks guarantees for Christians in Lebanon.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: SEEKS GUARANTEES FOR CHRISTIANS IN LEBANON #c-3685 PITTSBURGH -- Christians in Lebanon want a United National guarantee of religious freedom, according to the Rt. Rev. Chor-Bishop Antoun Akl, a high dignitary of the Maronite (Eastern Rite) Catholic Church shown here (right) with the Rev. Elias Basil, pastor of St. Anne’s Syro-Maronite Catholic church.
