Willis Davis Asks Caution<br />
On Tax-Aided Amusement<br />
From Southeast Edition<br />
ATLANTA—Pointing out the power of the<br />
screen as a propaganda medium, Willis J.<br />
Davis, executive of the Georgia Theatre Co.,<br />
warned against encroachment by the government<br />
on commercial recreation in a recent<br />
address before the Georgia Citizens council<br />
here.<br />
Davis discussed "The Place of Commercial<br />
Recreation in Community Programs" at the<br />
council's annual conference of the council,<br />
which was established by the state assembly<br />
in 1945 to promote greater opportunities for<br />
physical, mental, emotional and moral development<br />
of the state's future citizens.<br />
"Should the screens of the nation's motion<br />
picture houses become propaganda media<br />
under a central governmental agency supported<br />
by tax money, they would lend themselves<br />
readily to government encroachment<br />
on individual liberty," said Davis,<br />
